Dear Consumer,
I apologize if you misunderstood
the commercial. We have never offered a free kids bottle. Our offer is as
follows: the EcoCanteen is $9.99 plus $5.95 shipping/handling and comes with a
bonus insulated tote plus the shipping of $4.95 (the totes retail for an
upwards of $12- $15 each). All together one adult bottle with an insulated tote
comes to $20.89, which is less than Klean Kanteen and other competitors weve
price checked, and their prices do not include a tote or shipping. Customers
are also asked if they would like to upgrade to a deluxe model that has a
stainless steel lid and lifetime guarantee for an additional $7.95 each. The
Kids EcoCanteen is $8.95 plus $4.95 shipping/handling and $4.95
shipping/handling for the tote. Never Spill Pull Tops (sports lids) are $4.95
and have no Shipping and Handling. And there is also an offer for rush shipment
which is a flat rate of $7.84 in addition to the regular Shipping and Handling.
Thank You,

My husband and I bought an Eco-Canteen a couple of months ago and we absolutely LOVE THEM. I use mine every single day and so does my husband. They are everything the infomercial said they would be and so much more. We didn't get charged a whole bunch miscellaneous fees we paid the amount of the canteens and the shipping and handling fees. We are completely satisfied with Eco-Canteen and it is NOT a rip off.

Saw that cheesy commercial last night on TV. What it says is you'll get the canteen and tote along with the kid's canteen for $9.99 plus shipping and handling. What it DOESN'T say except in the fine print in tiny letters at the bottom of the ad is they're gonna jack you for all sorts of things on top of the $9.99. COME ON. Why would you charge an extra $4.95 for shipping of the tote ON TOP of the $5.95 you're charging for shipping the canteen? BECAUSE the tote costs you MAYBE 20 or 30 cents MAX and what you're really charging people IS $4.95 for something you're paying 20 or 30 cents for. I mean your math doesn't even add up! $9.99+$5.95+$4.95 doesn't equal $20.95 but then again $20.95 sounds cheaper then $20.89. Marketing 101. d**n, just throw the tote into the same box as the canteen. It can't weigh anything OR add to your shipping cost. If it's REALLY free, just include it with the canteen. But then again you wouldn't be able to jack anyone for an additional $4.95. Lord they sell those canteens at any sporting goods store so it's not like it's any hard to find item. And after you guys get done bending over your customers like the OP for $58. I'm amazed you'd put your name on anything to do with this scam. This is just the next snuggie. I guarantee we'll see dozens of complaints about this company in the next few weeks on this site.

Their order page is unsecured. There is no SSL certificate and/or encryption on the page. It doesn't matter that they put little 'secured' and 'credit card safe' images on the bottom. That doesn't mean squat. Both IE and Firefox do not come up with any kind of SSL indication, which means it does not exist. I wouldn't put my credit card info on that page. Try it out. Go to the website and look for any indication in your browser that it's secure. The little padlock on the bottom for Firefox isn't there. Neither is the padlock up by the url in IE. Hell, the address isn't even https: indicating it's secure. Also, is there a way to opt out of the 'free' insulated tote? I looked at the ordering page and it appears not. Because while you tout it as 'free', it's just another cost you can ding consumers with whether they like it or not and there is no way to refuse it. What if you don't WANT the insulated tote?
