.... because it's NOT a FREE trial, it does not say that and I understood that I would have to pay for it. I am not defending them because I think it is a very slippery sales tactic and clearly a lot of people were suckered in. I read it very carefully before ordering and it does say that you can cancel the subscription at any time which is what I did and had no problem in doing so. As with any internet transaction it pays to read the small print T's & C's! If you don't want it don't order it.

...and you are wrong, Crazy Diamond, I understand where you are coming from but I have nothing to do with SlimTone other than having made the purchase described above. I didn't exactly give it the thumbs up did I? Just that I read the details of the offer and then felt concerned by all the comments on this thread and felt it was worth recording my more positive experience. Snake oil? that's what I'm trying to find out, as I guess you are otherwise you would not be in this thread?

Wow, this thread had me worried! I received my trial pack today and did an online search for more info (yes, I know I should have done this before!). That brought me to this thread and brought home to me that £75 per month is on the expensive side for these capsules. So no point in delaying, I decided to cancel now and rang the UK number. After a recorded message with American accent the call was answered by a representative who was clearly in UK. I said I wanted to cancel the monthly arrangement. No problem. No questions asked. She told me the options: 1) I could call back nearer the 14 day deadline and use the product in the meantime; 2) I could return now (address in Shannon); or 3) I could pay for the trial pack and not have the hassle of returning it. How much was option 3, I asked, thinking here comes the sting - but no, the price would be at a 50% discount off the "full price" and that worked out at £56 for both products i.e £26 each. This is not so different from the price at other places on the web that I found, including Amazon, so I was pleasantly surprised. I've got to say I was mightily relieved and my experience was that it was not the [problem] that I was expecting. Maybe the difference was that I did not think that it was a free trial so I was expecting to pay - that was quite clear on the website when I signed up to the offer. The recurring payment on the offer is not such a good idea so I am glad to be out of that. I just need to watch my card account to make sure that no unexpected payments are taken in future. In summary, my concerns were unfounded and it was a positive experience dealing with SlimTone.
