This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

After seeing the TV ad listing the product as $19.99 plus a free can (just pay s/h) sounded good. I placed an order. Just before my card was charged, the site asked whether I wanted to "upgrade to bigger cans" for $4.95 additional. I did. By my calculations that's $19.99 + $9.95 + $9.95 + $9.90. At this point I thought it was getting high, but decided to go with it anyway. My bill ended up being $99.74! The products came out to $59.94 which should have been $29.89 and the shipping was $39.80 (really? for 2 cans!) which should have been $19.90. The kicker is - if the product DOESN'T work, you get $60.00 back, but not the $40.00 in shipping. That probably is how they make their money - overcharge shipping which actually pays for the product to begin with! I canceled my credit card!

Used a portion of the flex paste. Stored the rest with foil on top as per direction. Screwed cap on tight, a few weeks later, opened can only to find it hardened and was unusable. I bought it at Lowe's

Comments based on first usage of new tube of flex glue. Completely dissatisfied with the difficulty of application. Almost impossible to squeeze from tube. This product should be packaged to use with an applicator gun. Don’t see the need for glue to be so thick. This was my first and last purchase of flex glue.

I used your spray in can product twice for my skylight to fix a leak in my roof. After a few days your product started peeling away and when it rained water started to leak in my house once again. So your product is ineffective and does not work to seal for water leaks. Would like a refund please.

All i can say is [censored] this company and their products that DO NOT work. Nothing but a scam. Bought the flex tape to temporarily fix a leak in a pipe and it made the leak 10 times worse. Will never ever EVER buy this product again. And i will advise and warn others not to use it. Will be contacting the BBB about this faulty overpriced product.

I used flex water type to fix a hole in the pool, it didn't last so I bought flex spray, spayed around the windows on the pool waited untill the next day and sprayed over them again. We waited for 48 hours to put water back into the pool. After filling over the patch it started leaking again. I really thought this product would fix the leaks

I ordered 2 cans 1 was supposed to be free and i pay separate shipping fee. When i received the box and it had 6 cans in it and they charged my credit card $119.67. I call them and they said that i would receive 119.67 back on my credit card when they receive the box back. You over charged me and my bank hit me with an n s f 30.00 fee. You should have received the box back when will i see a refund on my credit card. Thank you Arnold Strunk.

Flex Seal & their new product appropriately “Slick Fix”. This is ### operating a scam. It’s beyond decptive, being charged $85 on an initial order which is advertised at $19.99 + s/h – good luck on that! As well as not being able to cancel an order immediately online or by contacting customer service. Then being told “It’s too late it’s already been charged and is in the shipping dock” all within a couple of hours – amazing! This organization is beyond SLICK. I’m then informed I have to return the package at my expense via a tracking system shipping service. I can’t refuse delivery and send it back by their non-trackable method of shipping.

Can it get any more rediculous? I had contacted the bank prior to contacting their Customer Service (now there’s another joke) only to be told by the bank that there’s nothing they can do, as the charge hadn’t yet shown as posted or pending, and so to call back and follow up and check, which I did several hours later only to be told the charge had now been posted to my credit card, and I can’t do anything about it except go through the “appropriate” channels of disputing the charge……….GGGGGGrrrrrrrr!

I ordered two cans of this stuff, total price was to be $39.89 - two weeks later I received 4 cans and they charged me $39.98 and $39.80 for shipping via US Post Office. I can ship the same size box, same weight via US Postoffice Priority mail 2 to 3 day delivery time for under $10.00 - Where do these crooks get off charging $39.80 - There is no room in this world for people like these crooks, somebody needs to give them a good what for!

I brought one can at the Walmart. They finally got those at Walmart. After I got home, I spray on the gutter on the shed. After I let it dry, by the way, I spray lot. Anyway, then I pour some water and it is still leak, so I thought this stuff does not work. This ad, even on the commerial is a liar. It just a fake. What a phony they are? I expecting that anyone don't buy them. I pay for 12.88 per can. You can get it at Walmart if they got one. Good luck!

I understand it is frustating when you buy something and you finally get the bill and realized that you over paid. Is it really that hard to get your calculator out and add it up. So lets try it, $19.99 + 9.95 that is just for one can and shipping. Now, the other can $9.95 and lets say you upgrade to the bigger cans $9.90. Ok, get you calculator out and add that up. The real problem is you bought something on impluse and you should of thought it through but you didn't. Don't be pissed off at the company you need to be mad at your self. I hope now that you have learned you lesson and you won't buy on impulse. On another not, I do agree on the shipping. I think it is unfair that a company can make its own prices on shipping.

"People,

Carefully read the terms and conditions before agreeing to them. Had you done so, you would have realized that all of this was explained to you there. As such, no scam has taken place."

Seems many companies are making money by charging outrageous shipping fees. I've come across several online and as soon as postage is calculated and I realize it, I don't complete the order. It still is a scam. Postage/shipping should be within set standards via post office not just any company that can charge what they want on a whim.
Not the flexseal, but similar outrageous charges. I ordered aquarium filter floss. If you are familar with it, you know it weighs slightly more than air. $9.95 shipping for one bag! Other companies are doing it too. Be very careful.

I to purchased the TV ad as advertised. After reeiving my cans and statement I found that I paid $39.80 fot the two (2) extra cans. How can shipping and handling (processing) be as much as (19 cents under) the original order ?
