I placed an order for the green coffee bean extract on 04/30/2012 after reviewing Pure Heath LLC's policies page indicating they did in fact ship to Canada. I received an order confirmation email shortly after my purchase that provided a confirmation number. Further it appeared as though an amount equivalent to my purchase total had been preliminarily taken off my credit card. Since my order date the purchase total has disappeared from my credit card…I don't know if this means my order has been cancelled. Interestingly my confirmation number does not always call up my invoice…immediately after I placed my order my confirmation number pulled up my invoice…last week it didn't pull up my invoice at all and I received an error message stating "we were unable to locate an invoice with confirmation number etc." Just today my confirmation number has started working again? Also, as of today, my confirmation number still does not provide a ship date/shipment tracking number. I take it this means my order still hasn't been processed despite all of Pure Health LLC's recent communications stating measures are being taken to process the volume of orders they've received. Similar to others I have not had any luck trying to phone in or email regarding my order status. Can a rep please confirm if Pure Heath LLC does in fact ship to Canada? If this is not the case TAKE THIS INFORMATION OFF YOUR WEBSITE! In the interest of protecting my privacy…I will not provide my reference number in this post (even though reps from Pure Health LLC are recommending customers do this: "I don't see a reference number on this post - if you can provide this I can provide exact details"). Why…in dealing with customers who have not received their orders would you put them in a position that completely compromises their privacy on public forum is beyond me. These references numbers can be used to obtain a person's full name and mailing address! Can a rep just generally comment on the following:
1. Does Pure Health LLC ship to Canada?
2. Will I be able to receive this product across the border (i.e. will there be a hold up with customs)?
3. When will orders placed on 04/30/2012 be processed?
4. Why are you asking customers to review their purchase experience when they haven't even received the products they've purchased???

After reading the scathing comments below, 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,
PURE HEALTH

Ridiculous wait time for product
Twelve days after being billed, I am still waiting for my product. I called customer service this morning and got an automated message after many, many rings, stating they may take up to 10 days before they even ship the product. I wish someone would have told me that when I placed my order. Next time I will just drive down the street.

New Order/client
I just want to defend this small company, I just placed my order for the Green Coffee Bean extract. While many are complaining that the orders are taking way too long I just want to give kudos to the company for doing their best. We are an instant gratification nation, unfortunately not everything worth having pops out like a Polaroid. This is a small company with a limited product line, kind of like a mom n pops store from back in the day. When the circus came to town, hopefully they had warning to be able to supply such an affair, I imagine the shelves would be empty if not and the towns people would go without. I know my weight isn't going anywhere atm, so I will patiently wait for this possible miracle in my life.

Still waiting
I did a review on this company back on May 8th regarding my May 1st order. They replied stating that my order would be sent at end of week which would have been the 11th. Never received it! Then they said it would be midweek last week which would have been the 16th. Have not received it nor money taken out of my account!!!!
I checked their website today and my order still has not been filled. There is no notification on their website that orders are taking longer or why. I have tried to be patient but with the company not coming through with their promises I would like to cancel my order. At some point during these reviews there was a response from the company with an e-mail address to send cancellations but can't find it. Please have company send it again. Thank you.

Hi Denese,
Please let me apologize for the delay in shipping. Please bear in mind we are a fairly small company and also the ONLY on-line retailer to offer 100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract, so as you can imagine, we have been inudated by orders since Dr. Oz featured and recommended a 100% Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract on his show! We have been working diligently to pack and ship all orders in the order they were placed seven days a week and have also increased our workforce by 400% to accommodate the huge increase in orders. With our increased workforce and all the extra hours we are putting in, we are catching up quickly and anticipate being fully caught up by the end of the week! Again, we apologize for the delay and had we known Dr. Oz was going to feature Green Coffee Bean on his show, we certainly would have prepared beforehand. Rest assured, we are doing everything humanly possible to get all orders out as quickly as possible. Thank you, again, for your purchase and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this very busy time.
Kind regards,
Nancy

Don't dispair...I finally got my order!
It took 30 days after placing my order but I did receive it! I had all but given up. I received a USPS tracking number from Pure Health but wasn't able to track it--for some reason it didn't work. That made me think that a scam was being played on me. Thankfully, Pure Health was true to their word and I received everything I ordered! Very glad that it turned out this way. My only advice to their frustrated customers would be to try to be patient because I believe they will receive their orders. I ordered on May 1 and received it on May 31.

Not a great company, my credit card was charged but I am still waiting for the product! (2 weeks and counting)
I think it is unfair to charge someone before you actually ship the product. I understand that they are overwhelmed by product demand but they shouldn't have charged me for something that they still have in their possession!!
Response from Pure Health LLCMay 8, 2012
Denise,
Since your order was placed 11 days ago, yours will be shipped out by the end of the week. We have sent out two updates stating that orders will be shipped out in the order they are received and it would be 3 - 10 business days to ship. Please let me apologize if you were not able to receive these updates. Regarding payment, please be assured your credit card HAS NOT been charged - there may be a pending charge from your credit card company (each company has different policies regarding this) but we DO NOT charge until the order ships. This is our policy and we adhere to this 100% percent - no exceptions. Thank you, again, for your patience and understanding during this very busy time.
Kind regards,
Nancy
