I’ve seen Colotox advertised more on the internet and decided it was time to do a review. As always, I looked at the product itself first and then focused on the company behind the product to see what we were dealing with. I’m sure glad that I did, because Colotox seems to be up there with the worst colon cleanse operations that I’ve seen.
Colotox, as a product, appears to be your average colon cleanser. Naturally it includes quite a few fiber-based ingredients and some others. I imagine that the product is no better than other alternatives out there, but the ingredients do look ok.
Where the review started to go downhill is when I saw the first signs of a sneaky autoship program. If you sign up for the free trial (which is the only option they give you if you want the product) then you are automatically enrolled in the autoship. This means that you have 14 days to call and cancel the program or you will start being charged $38.95 per month as new product is shipped to you every month. What? You didn’t notice that you agreed to that? Well it’s in the fine print of the terms and conditions that they’re counting on you not reading. I’ve seen this scam many times now and am amazed at how pitiful of a marketing tactic this is. Shame on Colotox.
In addition to having a shady autoship program, if you are able to ever return your product (more on that later) they charge you a 15% restocking fee. It’s already not looking good for Colotox. They have definitely created their policies to be favorable to one and only one person…themselves.
Now, it wasn’t easy but after a lot of searching I was able to find the company behind Colotox: Central Coast Nutraceuticals Inc. To make a long story short, the Better Business Bureau gave them an ‘F’ rating. And aparently for good reason. I also found a complaint filed against them through the Arizona Attorney General’s office for using deceptive and misleading sales practices. Needless to say, it’s not looking good for Colotox.
In summary, Colotox should be avoided at all costs. If you aware of the autoship, restocking fee, and poor customer service and you still want to purchase Colotox, then go right ahead. But unfortunately most people will get taken advantage of by these shady business practices.
