Easy White Labs reviews and complaints
Fraudulent company
Ordered sample of Easy White Lab's teeth whitening product along with a similar sample from another company. Both products were advertised together.
All I had to do was pay the shipping (which is how they get your credit card information).
Both companies charged my credit card for the shipping which was minimal. I was surprised when my credit card was charged over $150 for both products, and I had not received ANY product from either company.
When I contacted this company, during the normal business hours, I selected the option to speak to a customer representative. A representative never answered and I was sent directly to a voicemail to leave a message. I've tried several times to reach them and end up leaving a message for them to call me back. I still have not heard from them!
I tried to dispute the charges with my credit card company, but was told the charges can not be disputed.
Ultimately, I am out of over a $150 bucks, but hopefully, this will spare someone else the heart ache and anger from being Ripped Off!

UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES
I orderd the trial offer from Easy White on May 2nd. They offer a trial period before they charge for an auto shipment. I received the product on May 8th. I contacted them on May 18th and asked to cancel my account due to sensitivity to the ingredients. They charged my card on the 20th for an auto shipment. When I contacted them, they refused to refund my money. They said the trial period ran out on the 17th and it didn't matter when I received the product nor when I contacted them or why I cannot use the product. They considered the 2nd the first day of the trial period, said they couldn't track product deliveries. They did say I could have called for a trial period extension, but that was my responsibility. THIS IS A SCAM - they are not consumer friendly. I am working with my bank to reverse the charges.

Ordered teeth whitening product on 7-19-09 and when I got the receipt and it explained how the program worked I cancelled online. I didn't receive the product after almost 2 wks so I called and was told they had cancelled the shipment and I would not be receiving any product to return. They had given me a RMA # when I cancelled and gave me til 8-6-09 to return the product but I still hadn't gotten it. Five days later I got the product but had missed the return date. I called and spoke w/John. He refused to give me full credit even if I returned the product. The best he would do was a $35 + tax credit. I filed a complaint with the BBB. They were not very helpful at all.
I participated in the so called '10 day FRee Trial', In reality it was a 4 day trial. It took 7 days for the product to arrive. The company disclaimer states the trial period starts from date of order. The assumption is that the product would arrive in at least 2nd day process, not 7. It is my belief the company relies on the long delivery time knowing the consumer assumes either a quick delivery or assumes it actually begins on date of receipt of product and plans on sufficient time to contact them to cancel.
In my opinion this could and should be inspected by the Unites States Postal Inspector for potential mail fraud. The use of the U.S mail to potentiall defraud the consuming public.
I would be very interested in joining with others to take this approach. If anyone is interested please respond through this web service.
This company has got to be breaking the law! They cannot charge my credit card for amounts that I did not agree to. I only authorized the shipping charges. When I called the company to complain and cancel, I got a lot of static but I hung on the line anyway even as I was getting background noise and feedback of my own voice.
I was told by their c/s rep.that I could not speak toa supervisor becasue they were ALL in a meeting. She alos told me taht even if I returned the products, I would not be given back the money they stole from me.
I was charged a total of $150.00 for the "free" trials. All I had to do was pay the shipping charges. They refuse to reverse the charges so I contacted my bank to stop payment. My bank informed me that I could not stop payment on a card charge, but their claims department would help me dispute the charges.
I am so disgusted I have returned the unused packages. No way do I even want to try these products. No whitening product will ever be able to fix this kind of shady business.
These two companies are obviously working together and they are scamming people, via the Internet, by offering their products FREE OF CHARGE other than a small shipping and handling fee. What they don't tell you upfront is that you have enrolled in a MONTHLY home delivery program at a cost of $78.23 and $78.93 PER MONTH. What they also don't tell you upfront is that you MUST DISENROLL from this monthly service or you will continue to be charged monthly. You'll find these scammers on many Internet blogs, usually some poor single Mom who struggled with whiter teeth for years and has very little money - she (the blogs) will lead you to believe that for less than $15 you'll get both these products, and whiter teeth, without any further obligation. NO WHERE, I repeat, NO WHERE do they tell you that you are enrolling in this program. It's not until the charges hit your bank and you start questioning those charges that you will find out - then suddenly and miraculously, your enrollment in this program is printed EVERYWHERE, clear as a bell. Unfortunately, it is not spelled out anywhere in the package(s) in which the products come nor is it brought to your attention when you first order the "FREE" samples. It is a deliberate scam. The websites for these Internet crooks are easywhitelabs.com (product is 'Easy White' billed as EASYWHITE) and advancedwellnessresearch.com (product is 'Bright Teeth' billed as MAX WHITE TEETH). When I phoned the one company (Max White), the call was so absolutely annoying due to feedback of my own voice that I was barely able to complete the cancellation and didn't even get around to a refund - the other company (Easy white) will only refund 75% of your money only if you return their UNUSED product - now how do you make a determination that you don't like their product if you aren't allowed to use it? I have reported both companies to the fraud protection department at my bank and we are working to expose these companies as the scammers that they are. In addition, I am going to the Arizona BBB and any other consumer advocates I can conjure. I will also be exposing them via the local consumer advocate for our local TV news. This is truly one of those 'too good to be true' offers which is deceptively weighted in your favor - unfortunately, some fat cat is getting fatter at our expense and they are capitalizing on sensitive areas (personal appearance and self esteem) to sucker you in. If we truly want to ruin them, everybody order their product and immediately cancel upon receipt - beat them at their own game.
I EMAILED FOR THE FREE SAMPLE IN MAY OF 2017. AFTER READING THE FINE PRINT I EMAILED THEM TO DISCONTINUE IT IMMEDIATELY, PLUS I PHONED AND HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. I HAD IT SHIPPED TO MY SON'S ADDRESS, NOT MINE. BEING THAT I CANCELED, I DID NOT MENTION IT TO MY SON. THIS IS AUGUST 18TH AND I CALLED MY BANK TO SEE WHAT MY CHECKING BALANCE WAS. I WAS IN THE MINUS! I USUALLY DO MY BANK CHECKING OVER THE PHONE IN THE AUTOMATED SERVICE. TODAY I LOOKED AT THE PRINTED STATEMENT I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL AND SAW EASY WHITE FOR $85.18. I CALLED THE PHONE NUMBER AND TALKED TO ZAK #143. HE DENIED MY CANCELING AND TOLD ME THAT I COULD NOT RETURN THE UNUSED PRODUCTS. MY SON THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS SENDING THESE FREE TO HIM, BUT NEVER OPENED THEM. ZAK THEN TOLD ME THAT A NEW SHIPMENT WAS ON THE WAY BUT HE WOULD CREDIT ME$45.00 AND TO KEEP IT. HE THEN SENT ME AN EMAIL THAT STATED I WAS FINALLY CANCELED FROM THIS SCAM. IT IS MUCH EASIER TO TALK ABOUT THIS THAN TO PRINT IT. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET BACK$355.71?
It gets even better. On the website I ordered my 'trial product' it did not state that it was a trial and that they would charge me at all; there was not even the name of the company stated. I complained today and they refused to take it back, but told me I could keep this crap as THEIR GIFT...lol. I had told them I would file charges against them at the DA Office in Boulder, Colorado.

Fraud-Shady Business Model
I ordered their trial, and cancelled within the given trial period. I was told over the phone by one of their reps not to return the product, that I would not be billed any further charges... WRONG. They scammed me. They will scam you too. If anyone is interested in a class action Lawsuit, I'm looking into one. I've also filed formal Better Busine...
Read full complaint and 4 commentsFree Trial Period
This company is a rip-off!
After a 10 day trial period, they will charge you nearly $79 every month to send new supply.
Their website will not process a claim, and after keeping you on the phone for a very long time, they will disconnect you or pretend they cannot hear you.

My experience is the same. This is deceptive advertising and fraudulent billing practices. The product may be good but I refuse to use it. I sent the product back to the "two companies" unopened via Fedex. I have tracking numbers and proof that they recieved it. My credit card was cancelled and reissued with another account number at my request. I am dealing with the Fraud Department at my bank and posting a block on my account for these unscrupulous deceivers.
Oh, by the way, did any one notice the fine print? ""The individuals shown providing testamonials are paid models not actual consumers of the product..." what jerks!
Scam
I have had the same thing happen to me as well. I did talk to a supervisor after talking to a cs rep., from Easy White. She informed me that there would be no refund at all. I had not been able to use the product.
I have a breathing problem and as soon as I opened it, it took my breath away.
I too feel that this is a scam and I am hopeful more people will see these complaints and do not order this or the other companies products.

After cancelling my membership within the 10 day trial period I continue to be billed and receive the product that I cannot use due to its harsh ingredients.
The company refuses to give a full refund for all unused and uncompromised products shipped after my cancellation.
I ordered my free trial kit and was charged $78.63 on my debit card before I even received the product. Then when the product came the kit was used with no product to try out and there was a teeth tray case with no teeth tray.I'm still trying to get someone to listen to me. So far no luck. Judy
I WANT THESE PEOPLE TO REFUND ME MY MONEY THAT THEY ILLEGALLY TOOK FROM ME AFTER MY ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED ! I HAVE AN EMAIL THEY SENT ME TO PROVE THAT IT IS CLOSED! THEY TOOK MONEY FROM ME AGAIN THEY ARE FRAUDULENTLY TAKING MONEY FROM CONSUMERS AND IT HAS GOT TO STOP!
i love the product and pay every month in fact me, my wife and my three kids have our own that i pay for because the product is so good.
I was scammed by them too...they're really bad. So sorry they're still in business. Where's justice?
I agree that they're really BAD and something ought to be done to stop them. They can't go on cheating people like this...it's been too long!
Same thing has happened to me. I have wrote the Tennesse attorney general about this.
These people are scam artist, and they prey on everyone.
There is no way to make a return and get your money back. If you open the package you bought it.
Teeth Whitening SCAM!! BIG SCAM!!
I ordered a sample of Easy White Lab's teeth whitening product - it also had a similar product sample from a completely different company, however, these two companies work together.
All you had to do is pay a shipping charge and try the 10 day trial. So now they have your credit card information. Within hours there is three charges on my credit card $6.99, 4.99 and $1.97 for shipping.
I only rec'd an invoice from one of the company's and cannot get the other company to send me one.
The agreement with Easy White is they were to send you a 10 day trial and if you want to cancel it has to be before the end of those 10 days. I have talked to many other people that have been scammed and they don't even receive it until after the 10 day period so you cannot cancel until after they charge you $78.23 and another $6.99 in shipping. The same goes the same for the other company Teeth Whitening/ DBA Advance Wellness Research.
This is the biggest scam and it is taking money from hard working people. They need to be wiped off of the internet. Someone with authority needs to look into these companies and work for the hard working people.
Please someone out there with any authority help all of us that have been scammed by these two piece of crap scamming websites.

To ElleBlondie,
Unfortunately, the only way to stop these malicious charges is to report your card stolen and get a new number issued. These ### will continue to try to charge your card. I had to do this to stop this blatant ripoff myself. I hate these ###.
This is a complete scam! After the trial, Easy White charged my card $85.18 for the next shipment and then another charge for $85.18 posted to my account 10 days later under the name Tooth White. When I called to inquire about the charges, the customer service rep told me the charge was not showing up in their system and I should wait two more days. I called my bank to ask for a phone number for the company that made the charge and surprise, surprise when I called the number, I was connected to Easy White Labs. After demanding to talk to a supervisor, I was told it was all just a huge coincidence. That there are millions of teeth whitening companies that all charge the same amount and then banks attach random company phone numbers to these charges. Would anyone believe that story?!?
To hottgurl6934: While I take responsibility for not canceling the trial offer in the appropriate amount of time, and accept the charge for the product they sent, that does NOT give ANY company the right to charge people's credit cards whenever they want. Not to mention under a different company name. Also, they should not continue to charge people AFTER accounts have been cancelled even if that cancellation occurred after the 10 day trial period as seems to be the case with a lot of people on this blog.
I agree with all that was said above. I have emailed this company numerous times. Their other address I have on one of my emails was out of CO, note CA. They said they have cancelled everything on my account, but we will see. I have closed this debit card.
If they do try to bill my account again, this means that they have my bank account information, not just my debit card which was all I put on their website.
Okay, just a heads up. I plan to go to my bank today and close my bank account totally. I am sending their product back to them, unopened, and I'm sure they will just send it on to another naieve customer.
Their customer service is the pits.
REVENGE! These creeps are ripping off thousands of people. Do you know they pay a fee every time someone clicks on their ad? So keep clicking on their various ad but don't buy anything... just keep clicking!... over and over and over. If everyone does it a little bit we can drain their coffers. I also constantly call their toll-free number as well as constant emails to their customer service email addresses. Just make yourself as obnoxious as you can and try to disrupt their business as much as you can. If everyone does their part, these losers will disappear.
I tried Easy white labs and it was great... You all probably didnt cancel at the right time.. Its 10 days from the ship date.. and it takes 3-4days just to ship.. which leaves you with about 5days to try the product. Also if you complain about sensitivity you probably should know it does have a high percentage of carbanide perxoide whitening solution... Duh... I was charged the appropriate amount and cancelled in the right time.
I posted a comment about these companies both being a scam. http://www.cathysteeth.com/teeth-whitening/1?t202id=22444&t202kw=160x600_8. But I doubt it will be there long because this is a sales site.
I ALSO AM HAVING A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE DIRT BAGS! I WAS ALREADY BILLED $78.23 BEFORE I EVEN OPENED THE FIRST TRIAL! I SEND IT BACK AFTER I GET APPROVAL TO DO SO, I GET REFUNDED A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER THEY RECEIVE IT. I HAVE AN EMAIL THAT I AM REFUNDED, MY ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, AND I WILL NEVER BE BILLED AGAIN.GUESS WHAT? THEY SEND ME ANOTHER KIT AND NOW I SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT WAS BILLED $78.23 AGAIN! MY BANK ISSUED ME TO COSE MY ORIGINAL ATM CARD BECAUE OF THESE PEOPLE! WELL HOW DID THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER A NEW ATM CARD? PLUS MY ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED AND I HAVE PROOF OF ALL OF THIS IN AN EMAIL FROM EASY WHITE LABS! I WOULD LOVE TO JOIN SOME ONE IN A LEGAL ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST EASY WHITE LABS! THEY ARE THEIVES STAY AWAY FROM THEM!
I have had the same thing happen to me as well. I did talk to a supervisor after talking to a cs rep., from Easy White. She informed me that there would be no refund at all. I had not been able to use the product.
I have a breathing problem and as soon as I opened it, it took my breath away.

BEWARE...One company was willing to give my money back, but the EASY WHITE COMPANY REFUSED to give all of my money back. They did however "refund" $35.00 to my account. So, the $1.83 "sample" ended up costing me much much more. A total of $45.06...They are telling me it is a "full" size and not a sample. We will see once I use it.
Good Luck and Be Aware of this companies policy!
Deceitful Advertising and Fraudulent Billing
Ordered sample of Easy White Lab's teeth whitening product along with a similar sample from another company. Both products were advertised togather.
All I had to do was pay the shipping (which is how they get your credit card information).
Both companies charged my credit card for the shipping which was minimal. Then to my suprise, a short time later, both companies charged my credit card for a combined $150.
When I contacted one company they agreed to reverse the charges on my credit card (hopefully this takes place). When I contacted Easy White Labs, (it took at least ten telephone calls to their toll free number) they refused to issue credit and said that the agreement allowed them to charge the monthly amount. I would have never agreed to this agreement and don't think it was worded this way. If it was, it was deceptively buried.
They tried telling me that I needed to return the unopened product and that they would then refund 75% of my money. Since I haven't tried their product as yet, I will try this, but I seriously doubt that it will ever happen.
Researching the information relating to the ownership of Easy White's website was no help. They use Godaddy.com's, Domains By Proxy, which is popular for companies with deceitful business practices.
I have complained to the FTC and BBB in both Arizona and Colorado.

The company lures you in by sending you a free sample but ask for your credit card information to charge the shipping, which is 97 cents. This charge appeared on my credit card and was what I agreed to. However, 7 days later a charge of $78.23 appeared on my credit card. They would not let me return the product. Definitely deceptive business practice.
Bob P., do you work for the company? Easy White is a crappy, company. I DID read the terms. The initial terms state one thing and the second set of terms state another. Put it this way Bob, the BBB and thousands of other people agree with me so you can suck it! Again, I hope everyone who reads this files a complaint with the BBB and their credit card company. Eventually they will not be allowed to accept credit cards because Visa, MC and whatever other cards they accept will deny them business.
please please do not buy these products, these companys took more than $500 dollars out of my bank in one month, now they have changed names to bright smile, do not order anythink of these low life people, i seen the advert on facebook so i thought they might of checked out these companies firt? i have made complaints to facebook but have had no reply, who can you trust?, shaun
I have been trying to contact Easy White Labs by calling the so-called customer service number for a while about the so-called trial (that I thought was a free-trial). This is a misconception and deception like no other. You try to give a company a chance and you are taken for a ride as well as advantage of. Out of all the times I called I have waited for so long for someone to answer. The last time I called was this morning and I hung up the phone in 54 minutes & 34 seconds (while on speaker & while doing house work the entire time). I tried again an hour later. Same thing but less time. I read other people complaints and feel as though I wrote each of them myself. Someone has to take action! And shut these abusers down! One of the reviews gave me another contact below and hopefully after leaving a detailed message on how to reach and help me, maybe a representative will return my call & assist me on returning this unopened EASYWHITE product!

well i think you guys should read the terms and conditions first before giving out your credit card numbers in the net just like that..you dont need to blame easy white labs for that..I dont work for the company but I just want to let you guys know that you should take responsibility of our credit card number and READ
I hope someone can stop these companies from stealing from anyone else. They got me to.
I'll have to cancel the credit card before they try tapping it again.
Bob P.
Just click on Addie M.'s comment above. She has responded to countless complaints about similar scams. They need to be stopped.
They also have a company called overnightgenius.com which opperates the same scam for computer software. Does anyone know how to stop this organization? They need to be put out of business. What they are doing IS illegal.
Your customer service is anything but respectful - they are taught to give fake names and give people the run-around when they ask for refunds. I personally called to cancel my order within FIVE minutes of making it, because as I was going through the second site to get the so-called partner whitening strips to get 'twice the whitening power', I noticed the site was the exact same, so I knew it was a scam then. When I called, I was told that my order had already shipped - five minute shipping time, WOW! And I was told since it had shipped, there would be no cancelling BUT if I wished, then I could return it unopened for a PARTIAL refund. That's CRAP! Furthermore, because you knew I was going to cancel, your 'customer service rep' authorized my card and charged me almost $60 right then - so much for a 10 day trial period. I didn't even get a 10 minute trial time; you hadn't shipped me anything even and already I was paid for the first shipment - bad business! Lastly, that sweet little posting can tell me it's going to walk people through the cancellation process, but how about holding true to what you say? You can SAY anything, you just don't DO ANYTHING! I got an email on the second day promising me I would not be charged again - this was on June 28th and on July 22nd you stole $60 more from me. So cut all the "we'll try to make our terms clearer" BS and just follow through on your promises made to people and stop stealing our money. Then, and only then can you even THINK you are tring to be about customer service cause right now all you are in the book of all these people who have posted here are deceitful thieves. I want my money back! You have your product back, now refund me, and I do mean ALL that you stole!
I think if Dentech really had nothing to do with "Arin" they would NOT be addressing him by his first name... it would be Mr, So-and-so, not "Arin this" and "Arin that"...those thugs will try anything I guess...amazing how they can come post to this site trying to save POOR ARIN from harrassment, and yet so many of the real customer's requests for refunds go ignored. I guess real customers haven't harrassed enough yet. Instead of posting some lame thing here, Dentech should just refund people, and stop their shady activities! Then no one will have a reason to post anything negative about them! Thankfully the Better Business Bureau in two states are after these slimy creatures. They will get what they have coming to them.
I too allowed myself to be duped and shame on me for not seeing the tricky wording and for not reading every word of the advertisement cover to cover including the small print. I remember the good old days when a company was more interested in getting a good product out, keeping the customer happy, and being honest. I forget that that is not true any more.
You say that we have misunderstood your terms. Come on guys, if this approach was not highly profitable to you ( in the millions I'm sure) you would be more interested in changing the wording so that there is NO apprearance of intent to deceive. Oh, silly me, then you'd lose your prospective pool of fools that you haven't tapped into yet. Legally, I'm sure you are clean as a whistle and intend to keep your wording exactly as it is now.
I guess $78.23 is a fairly inexpensive way to learn, again, that profit is king for large companys and corporations and that their main impetus is greed. We need to keep the wolves at bay folks.

I had the same experience, signed up to be charged for shipping from Easy White and another company and then they charged me for additional shipments. One of the companies agreed to refund my card for the product they sent me but not Easy White. This is a scam and a way to get your credit card number so they can charge you for something you don't want. I'm sure they've made alot of money this way but I hope this will keep someone else from learning the hard way like I did.
