Well, I gave it two weeks. The SF7 seemed to work the first few days, than nothing. New it was to good to be true. Has anyone had any luck sending it back for refund?

I'm my mothers primary caregiver and am definitely and emotional eater. Add menopause to that and the weight just hangs on. I know all the rules and have all the diet books, just can't seen to find the right mind set to commit.

I noticed that this product ships from Canada! Expedited shipping is not an option. Although it is Canada it still has to clear customs in the USA. Your order can and will take up to 4 - 6 weeks. Overnight or 3-5 business days normally cost upwards of $50.00 or more. So unless you are willing to pay the outrageous FedEX or UPS fees (if they even offer it) expect to wait...

Hey everyone i'm new to the site, thank you all very much for the info. I was going to buy this product but **** no, i'm not going to anymore. So thank you!

Hi everyone!
I recently emailed consumerist.com, and I have been googling
this site at work, so I felt compelled to let you know!
Here is a copy of my email, please excuse my poor grammar
as I'm a bit angry
-------------

My name is Jimmy and I work for an inbound call-centre in Toronto, Ontario.
We have several clients that we work for be it real estate companies,
doctors offices,and lawyers' offices.
Our most prominent client is Slimforce7.
We handle all of their phone orders and customer service calls.

I've grown nearly fed up with "working" for Slimforce 7.

This product is advertised as a natural fat burning pill
to be taken once a day at breakfast.
It is advertised that you do not need to change your diet,
nor do you necessarily have to exercise.
The company recently ran strong campaigns through
TVGuide magazine, US Weekly, First Magazine and American Profile.
In about a day's work I probably get at least 25 orders of the product,
after sneaking a look at our report, in June alone they shipped out
about 6240 orders. The most popular product is the Maximum Strength treatment, for $109.

What's the problem?
The problem is our faulty advertising and complete disregard for customers.
Slimforce7 is said to be a natural product however it contains maltodextrin,
which is an additive in the similar vein to MSG.
Also it contains bitter orange (Citrus aurantium)
which has been linked to increasing risk of stroke, and agina.
It's said that all the ingredients are given GRAS status by the FDA,
but I really feel like that's not even true.
On the website it states that the product should not be taken by anyone
who is treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, depression,
thyroid or heart conditions, anyone under 18 or the elderly.
We have no protocol on asking these questions during our phone calls whatsoever,
even though majority of our callers are overweight
with probably blood pressure conditions,
and a large percentage of our callers are in fact seniors.
Most do not have access to the internet, and aren't aware of these conditions,
and unfortunately I'm one of the few order operators who check.

The company offers two methods of shipping,
normal shipping $6.00, and expedited for $11.00.
How long is shipping? ... I'm actually not too sure. None of us are.
It's changed from 1-2 weeks expedited/3-4 weeks normal,
to 4-5 weeks/6-7 weeks. Whatever you feel sounds best.
We have people who call in who have ordered from
February and have yet received the product.
Today a woman called me who only received 7 pills in her bottle
(you're supposed to receive 30).

Our refund process is that you have a full-money back guarantee,
but unfortunately (and we don't say this) this does not include the shipping.
If you look at the amount of people who buy this
(and pretty much everyone goes for the $11.00 shipping),
that's a lot of change going into Slimforce7's pockets.
And a lot of people just don't call back asking for their money.
I'm not sure why, perhaps they feel embarrassed that they've been swindled
once again by a product claiming to give them a great body.
The company takes their sweet time with refunds,
they stretch it out to months upon months of not giving money back.
And the sad part is that we're now sold out of product!

I feel really awful at the end of the night for the people that buy this,
I try my best to persuade them out of it,
either asking them to call their doctor first to ask if it's okay,
to trying to persuade them to try out the low-cost treatment first.
It's come to the point that I just hang up on the call when it comes,
and hope that my next call is for a real estate office.
At the call centre we're getting the crummy end of it,
because we deal with everyone who's irate,
we don't know where the money is going (as our company isn't paid much by Slimforce7),
and we don't know what to say to the customers most of the time.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would spread this to anyone you know.
There are a lot of people out there who do want to lose weight,
but really the best way is to seriously reflect on your diet
and get the right amount of exercise.
Please tell anyone you know who's considering Slimforce7 or has already
purchased the product to reconsider and demand a refund.

Thanks,

Jimmy

I ordered mines yesterday and by accident finding this site has made me lucky but,bad timing since,I have to wait to getit and try it...than wait for myrefund too..my sister told me I was crazy paying that much and I should have reserching it before..but I got desperate.I will start walkin or charging less my credit cards LOL..my hopes are in the air.sad but true.

I'm really upset that I ordered this product to late before finding all this stuff online about them I tried to cancel and I was told that someone would call me back in 1 week or 2 to confirm my canceled order.I dont care no more and I don't care if it kills me lol..I'm going to try it and wait for my money back like everyone else..

You can really try if you feel like it, but seriously it's not going to do anything.
Do not wait for a call back, as it's something my company does to get
people off their backs. Call them everyday, the customer service manager
is in weekdays 9-5pm EST.

I ordered my product several weeks ago and they said it was back ordered and would take approximately 4 weeks to get here. I got it today. I was very excited to try it. After reading others comments I'm feeling very foolish for not investigating more as to what exactly is in this product. Aren't they required to list everything. I'm not sure when I'm going to try and start this program, but I believe I'm going to do more investigating before I start. I can't afford to lose my health over this!!!

Thanks customer service slave, it's nice to get the facts from someone behind the scenes. Wish I'd seen your post prior to ordering and trying the stuff. Oh well, I knew it really wouldn't work. I was just hoping for something that would help me get started in the right direction.

I was considering ordering Slim Force 7 until I came across this website. I read many of the postings and while I won't be ordering this product, I do have a question to anyone with an answer.

I have tried a year of counting points and exercise (jazzercise 3 times a week and 3-4 days of walking 2.5 miles). I have had absolutely no results. No gain, no loss. I have developed a growth on my right tibia, where the ligament from the thigh inserts, which is directly caused by the jazercise impact. My doctor advised me lsat month to stop. My response: I knew I was allergic to exercise. (LOL) I saw a specialist who recommends walking only, and to watch the stepping--as low impact as possible.

My problem is low metabolism and the points seemed like a good way to encourage me to eat breakfast--I am not hungry when I wake up. I have been eating a well-balanced, 4-7 point, breakfast for about a year. My daily point count is 21, but I usually only in-take 18-20.

Anyone out there have any suggestions for me? I have read about many products that supposedly increase metabolism, but now that I have read so many negative comments about supplements am afraid to try any. Until last year I really did not think much about my weight, and I am very comfortable in my own skin. I have weighed with in +/- 10 pounds for 25 years, can still wear the same clothes I did 25 years ago, but as I age know the extra 40 pounds or so I carry around could cause problems. I am only 5 feet tall with the dreaded pear shape.

HELP! Please.

Have you tried working with weights? Building muscle is the only way to increase your metabolism permanently.

Also, have you looked at doing swimming? Walking fast? (no impact) If you have access, how about bicycling (inside or outdoor)? elliptical?

I've also heard that with your points, you are supposed to eat all of them. It can help fuel your body and actually help lose weight by eating more. Also, I know weight watchers recently changed so that they are focusing on healthier foods which may help.

okay so i was going to order slim force 7 got half way through your blogs and said that mabey i could be the exception got to the end of your blogs and said that i would have to find another way i am fourteen and it is weird that u only have to be thirteen to take this product i mean who would be like " its only go tthe twelth most dangerous ingredient in the us right? why not give it to teenagers?" and i previosly tried the acai berry it worked okay but not to the extent that i hoped it helped me loose 23 pounds in 1 and1/2 months whitch is great seeing as i did not take it regularly and ate only mildly healthy but i still need to loose 40 pounds any other ideas for weight loss pills??? let me know

thank you for saving me from another disaster!!! I read about this product yesterday and was ready to order (stupid me, i know that if it sounds to good to be true, it does not work)..thank God i came across this blog! After reading half of them, I decided not to order. I am 56 and have been battling with my weight for a few years now always trying for the easy way out..oh, well, i guess i'll keep on trying.

i made the big mistake of ordering this product, after reading many of the blogs on this site i called and cancelled my order the same night, The person i spoke to said my order was cancelled and they would not charge my card.
Long story short they charged my card for 75.00 plus 2.50 for currency exchange, o have placed a dispute with my credit card company, my advice is do not order from this company.I wish i had found your blog before placing this order.

Has anybody alerted the Consumer Reporting Agency?
