 Sedona Beauty Secrets was offering a trial of their eye cream for just $1.00 (plus 3.95 for shipping which I found out later). I have dark circles under my eyes and so I thought I would try it. About a week later I received the package in the mail. It contained a small bottle of the eye cream as well as a box of anti wrinkle eye patches. I figured I would try them out for 4-5 days to see how my skin reacts and if I liked it, I might continue the shipment. Unfortunately, I wasn't even given 1 day to decide if I liked the product or not.

The DAY AFTER I received my package in the mail Sedona Beauty charged me $94.31. I had read the cancellation policy very carefully and had even saved the phone number to cancel the product in my phone, but nowhere did it say that it was an 8 day trial. I called their customer service department who at first told me that there was nothing she could do and I should have read the policy better. That is when I got angry. She then offered a 25% refund, I said no. Then she offered a 50% refund and again I said no. She proceeded to offer a 75% refund and I explained that I would not except anything but a 100% refund since I never even had time to try the product. After putting me on hold forever, she came back on the line very snotty and said she would give me 100% refund but I had to ship the product back at my cost and then hung up on me. I looked into what it would cost to send the product back to them and found it would be more economical to just accept the 75% refund and be done with it. I called the customer service number back and explained to another lady that didn't speak English well that I would just take the 75% refund. (Here is where I really start to lose it) This woman tells me that they don't offer 75% refunds!! What??? They just offered it to me 3 days ago and now it doesn't exist? She said the highest refund they ever offer is 60%.

This was getting ridiculous, so I asked to speak to a manager. Conveniently there were no managers available so I told her I would hold. I guess holding is against their policy because she had a BIG problem with me wanting to hold. She asked for my phone number and said a supervisor would call me back. I just laughed and told her I didn't believe that anyone would call me back and I just wanted to be put on hold until a supervisor was available. She then hung up on me. I called back 5 more times and each time someone in customer service would answer the phone and then hang it back up again. I waited a little while and this time I put in all different information so they would not know it was me calling. I finally got another foreign lady on the phone and I immediately asked for a supervisor. None were available. By this time I just wanted to take what refund I could get so I kindly accepted the 60% refund. After she confirmed that the refund was being processed I started asking her some questions about the company. She got EXTREMELY agitated and defensive. I asked where they were located. She said California. I asked where in CA? She wanted to know why I wanted to know. I told her I was just curious. She said Santa Ana. I then asked for the address. She did not want to give me that information at all!! She put me on hold for what seemed like FOREVER, but then came back and said "ok if you really need it our address is 7565 Commercial Way Henderson Nevada 89011. Happy?" I laughed and asked why it took so long to get the address. Was she getting permission or did she not know it since she had just told me they were in Santa Ana California? I then asked for the name of the business owner and she just said "I am not giving you that information" and, of course, hung up.

Basically, the moral of this story is Sedona Beauty Secrets is a scam, the trial is a scam and you will get raped for way more money then the product is worth. I have now had the chance to try it and even the product sucks. Customer Service are most likely from a foreign country and will lie to you every chance they get. It is not a way to do business and I plan on posting this review in as many places as I can. Buyer Beware!!!

Hello Sara 2278. I genuinely apologize for the experience you felt you had with our company. We strive to keep a professional and high standard of customer service with our customers. We take complaints very seriously and we hope this response will provide you with additional information.

 When you ordered the product you also checked a box indicating that you agreed to the terms of the offer. When a customer checks that box we must assume that they have actually read what they are agreeing to.

Our company does not ever refer to the trial products as free samples. The free trial is the period of time the cx has to try the product. A trial period. If the cx exceeds this trial period and no contact has been made our company to cancel, the cx is automatically enrolled to our monthly subscription program.Once the customer is out of trial, they are charged in full for the product and if they choose to contact our company, depending on the specific situation, a resolution can be met.

I have included the Terms and conditions that can be found on the Sedona Beauty Secrets website:https://www.sedonabeautysecrets.com/ We’ll also enter you into our Sedona Beauty Secrets Forever Young Club. With the Forever Young Club you'll get a package of Sedona Beauty Secrets Anti-Aging Duo so you can maintain your beautiful skin. (8) days from the date of order processing, and unless you decide to take an action to cancel (by calling our customer service center at 1-800-918-2757 or www.SedonaBeautySecrets.com), we'll conveniently bill your credit card $94.31 for the full 30 day Sedona Beauty Secrets System. The cancellation and return policy is described in detail below. Plus, you'll also get a package of Sedona Beauty Secrets Anti-Aging Duo about every 30 days for the same monthly in-home price you paid for the original Sedona Beauty Secrets System plus $10.91 in shipping, all conveniently billed to your credit card.

These terms were presented to you in multiple places on our website when you ordered our product. Additionally, you were sent an order confirmation email after your order was completed that provided a full written version of the terms you agreed to. Our representatives are advised to inform the customers to check their spam inbox for this confirmation email if they do not see it in their personal inbox.

To address the reason for our companies attempt to contact you. It is our standard protocol if the customer request to speak to a supervisor , we advise our agents to make note of the account and we do make sure to have a supervisor try every effort to contact the customer back to see that their concern does get addressed. 

I hope this can help clear up any misunderstandings about our trial promotion. Again, I genuinely apologize for the unpleasant experience. Please feel free to reach back out to us if you have any further questions about our terms and conditions. Thank you.
