Product is Excellent but Walmart sells it for $3.00 less
I sent an email to you on May 4th, today is May 10th and I never received a reply. I would cancel my order if it wasn't too late since I found the Green Bean Coffee extractt at Walmart for $3.00 less.

Unhappy with lack of communication since order confirmed.
Since I placed my order I have not gotten any communication at all on the order no shipping, no back order or anything else.
When I tried to call and get an update, no answer and voice mail was full so no away to get any kind of update.
Unsatisfactory - its as if I never placed an order...
Hopefully, I will actually get the product at some point.

After reading the scathing comments, I almost feel like giving an update is a lost cause, and no matter what we post as a company, no one is in the mood to understand. Speaking as an individual... I too, am an internet shopper and judge an online company by several points... a good price and expediency in getting my order to me. Although Pure Health's price point is fair, we have failed in the expediency department. All comments are warranted and speaking for Pure Health, we certainly understand the "pummeling" and angry posts. We painfully feel every blow and every harsh word... Giant lessons have been learned these last few weeks and we ARE working hard to fulfill everyone's order. We DO have people working around the clock shipping orders. We have a full staff processing orders every weekend, including tomorrow, Mother’s Day!
What most people don't understand is just how many orders we received that first day that the Dr. Oz show aired. We are one of the only green coffee bean suppliers that offer pure extract with no excipients, fillers and binders. We took tens of thousands of orders the first day Dr. Oz aired on April 26th ... the bulk were internet orders, although we took thousands of orders by phone as well. The 2nd day, April 27th ... we took almost as many orders again by internet and phone. Please know, that 1st week, we went from 5 employees to 35 employees and our phone system couldn't handle all the calls. Our customer service employees couldn't get back to all the internet queries and voice mail messages. As soon as we'd empty our voice mail with a 4 page list of names and numbers, the voice mail would fill up again, despite every available customer service person answering phones as fast as they could! To add more “flame to the fire”… the Dr. Oz green coffee bean segment RE-RAN A WEEK LATER ON FRIDAY 5-4-12. The craziness escalated even more…
I KNOW these words sound like excuses, but until you are in the middle of a "hurricane" like this, you just have no idea! The Dr. Oz show absolutely "knocked us to our knees.” We are a small company and have always prided ourselves on quality products and great customer service. Up until The Dr. Oz Show green coffee bean orders, our customer reviews have always been stellar and positive. We ARE working hard to get all orders out. From the very beginning, we told all people ordering by phone that we were projecting 5 to 10 business days to get their product shipped. Counting today, we are actually only 2 days off the shipping projections we quoted to customers from the day Dr. Oz originally aired (4-26) and we anticipate being caught up with all orders by mid week. Unfortunately, the only feasible way we had to let our online customers know of the shipping delay was to send out an e-mail to all customers (and for this we apologize as some customers were unhappy about receiving a “canned” message – but this was our only option at the time) or until they would call or email looking for their order (which bogged our phones and emails down further).
We are not a "scam" company. We are an overwhelmed company that is slowly but surely "catching up." We realize our reputation has been damaged and all we can do is try to make things right by offering you one of the best green coffee bean extracts on the market. Once we are caught up, our normal 24 to 48 hour "order to shipping turnaround policy" will be back in full force.
For those of you angry about your credit card being charged immediately despite not getting your product right away... Please understand that our policy is NOT to charge your credit card until your order is processed and ready to be shipped and we strictly adhere to this policy. If you paid using PayPal, however, it is their policy to charge credit cards immediately. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. PayPal charges your credit card immediately, no matter what. Again... this is their policy not ours.
For those of you who have found our green coffee bean extract at Walmart... good for you! Our customer service department has been referring everyone in a rush to visit their local Walmart and pick the product up there. They are the only retailer currently carrying our Pure Health Green Coffee Bean Extract, and they were our customers before the Dr. Oz segment actually aired, so product was already in stores and for sale.
Sigh... As much as it pains me to write this, I understand everyone's frustration and impatience. For those of you that are absolutely determined to cancel your orders, please help us to expedite your request by sending us an e-mail at: [email protected] and put CANCELLATION AND THEN TYPE YOUR CONFIRMATION NUMBER ON THE SAME LINE. That is all we need and we will cancel your order immediately and reply back to you confirming that your order has been cancelled.
Please accept Pure Health's deepest apologies to our frustrated and disgruntled customers. For those of you that continue to hang in there and grace us with your patience... Thank You!
Kind regards,

14 days and counting
I understand there's a high volume of orders to fill for the green coffee beans, but wish Pure Health would send updates now and then. I called customer service and was pleased that a human being answered on the first ring. Was told to expect delivery in 12 days. Still waiting. Hope my order isn't lost. Looking forward to getting my order.

NOT VERY INFORMATIVE ON SHIPMENTS!
I was very pleased to place my order with your company as you were recomended by a friend. I also understand the delays due to the overwhelming orders due to the Dr. OZ show. That said, I do not agree with your lack of communication on order updates. Please at least update the status so people know you are still working hard on processing the orders. Thank you

Unfortunately, the only feasible way we had to let our online customers know of the shipping delay was to send out an e-mail to all customers (and for this we apologize as some customers were unhappy about receiving a “canned” message – but this was our only option at the time) or until they would call or email looking for their order (which bogged our phones and emails down further).
We are not a "scam" company. We are an overwhelmed company that is slowly but surely "catching up." We realize our reputation has been damaged and all we can do is try to make things right by offering you one of the best green coffee bean extracts on the market. Once we are caught up, our normal 24 to 48 hour "order to shipping turnaround policy" will be back in full force.
For those of you angry about your credit card being charged immediately despite not getting your product right away... Please understand that our policy is NOT to charge your credit card until your order is processed and ready to be shipped and we strictly adhere to this policy. If you paid using PayPal, however, it is their policy to charge credit cards immediately. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. PayPal charges your credit card immediately, no matter what. Again... this is their policy not ours.
For those of you who have found our green coffee bean extract at Walmart... good for you! Our customer service department has been referring everyone in a rush to visit their local Walmart and pick the product up there. They are the only retailer currently carrying our Pure Health Green Coffee Bean Extract, and they were our customers before the Dr. Oz segment actually aired, so product was already in stores and for sale.
Sigh... As much as it pains me to write this, I understand everyone's frustration and impatience. For those of you that are absolutely determined to cancel your orders, please help us to expedite your request by sending us an e-mail at: [email protected] and put CANCELLATION AND THEN TYPE YOUR CONFIRMATION NUMBER ON THE SAME LINE. That is all we need and we will cancel your order immediately and reply back to you confirming that your order has been cancelled.
Please accept Pure Health's deepest apologies to our frustrated and disgruntled customers. For those of you that continue to hang in there and grace us with your patience... Thank You!
Kind regards,
PURE HEALTH
