Lichi Super Fruit review: This trial offer is grievously misleading 13

I stumbled upon www.trylichi.com. After reading about the 30-day trial and the customer reviews stating the effectiveness of lichi supplements to jump start a diet plan, I decided to give it a try. The offer on the trylichi website was for $0 plus $5.99 S&H for a 30 day trial. I ordered and received my trial products. I began using them (to not much effect, but that’s not my issue) and two weeks later a charge of $129.99 showed up on my credit card. I immediately called the company and was told that the charge for for my trial product. I argued that the offer was for a trial cost of $0 plus shipping and handling. After much arguing, the agent said she could discount me $20! I finally got an agreement that the charge would be removed from my credit card AFTER I return the unused portion of my trial product (at my own expense, of course). I have yet to see if the company will make good on this. If not, I’ll be posting more here.

This trial offer is grievously misleading. DO NOT be taken in. It is NOT a free 30-day trial. The lichi products may be worthwhile and useful for you, but don’t think you’re getting any kind of a deal!

My daughter fell for their FREE trial and gave them my credit card info. Granted that was my fault HOWEVER, they took an order under her name with my credit card...totally unauthorized by me! I started on July 18 and I'm still waiting on my refund! This company is making money hand over fist just on refunds that they promise and never give! HUGE SCAM!

There was a add on my facebook home page to try this product for free with a lot of positive reviews. So i gave my card number just for shipping. I received the product, i used it and definitely it doesnt work. And afterwards i have been receiving these products every month and they are charging $99 plus shipping since last 3 months. When i called to cancel the order and return the products they told me their system is down and i have to call back later. I called twice in two different days and they told me the same thing. It wasnt mentioned anywhere that it was an ongoing order and i will recieve a package rvery month even though i never ordered one. I still dont know what to do with all these products. I just want to return them and get my money back but i seriously doubt if thats going to happen this just a huge scam and people are falling for the free trial and losing all these money for something which they dont even want at the first place. NEVER FALL FOR THIS LICHI FRUIT SCAM. IT DOESN'T WORK.

I canceled my subscription to lichi fruit and sent back my last shipment. I was offered a 50% immediate refund and I would get to keep the product. When I said no I was told it would take 30 days to get my money back. I was also told to get a tracking number so I could make sure it was returned by May 20th. The product was returned by May 18th. I had not received my refund so I just called them. I was told that I would need to give them my taking number in order to get the refund. I was never told this when I canceled my subscription. I no longer have the tracking number and won't get a refund. If you return anything to this company, make sure you keep all records or else you'll get scammed, just like I did.

Advertisment for Try-Lichi is misleading...my daughter ordered it a month ago..before she even got her trial they charged her account for $99.99...she never even got to try it first...totally a scam. She called to tell them she is sending everything back and wants her account credited...they told her we can only give you back $25, and you can keep the products. Bullsh**.

This product is a HUGE scam! I cancelled my free trail today and I have to send what I haven't taken back. That's not all! I have to pay extra for tracking on the package or they will charge my credit card $99.99! DO NOT fall for this company's scam!

i didn't read or check before ordering and when check bank account i was charge 105.00
then try to email back but the email keep returning that it didnt go through
call toll free number on site and the number was from a different company
so i research and found this site and call them but they said their system is down
can't believe i was charge 105.00 for free trail
please dont double check before ordering using your credit card
im still waiting for them to cancel my order

Please note, their "days" equal calendar days rather than the normal "business days" like any other reputable business actually works on. All they base their argument on are technicalities. Their 14 day trial was billed to me at 1:32 AM on a SUNDAY. Interesting... but then again, I guess business does really still happen on Sundays ---- whether I believe it should or not. I guess we'll see within 3-5 business days as to whether or not the manager who "went against policy", actually gave me a valid transaction ID for the 50% return to my banking account. You can bet I will be watching my bank statement every day for the next 5 days... (if they use the same calendar I do, I won't have to be lodging my own complaint on this site on another Sunday... right?)

I never received the trial box despite a USPS delivery confirmation. I have been charged twice so far and still no product. $268 total. They are now saying that if I return the 2nd package… which also is not here, that I can receive a refund for it only. My bank is saying they can’t do anything. Don’t Try Lichi Super Fruit

My young daughter got duped also and I contacted the Attorney General's office and filed a complaint so let's see how quickly they respond to them.
