The site is very convincing and all their warranty and presentation (including softspoken calming voice virtual jesse williams) makes you feel safe.
I always tag my email address ([email protected] and i create that email address in my email service) when registering something on the internet so if i receive spam, I know who did it.
Well today i received an offer from freecreditreports.com at the [email protected]. So i go to the wuyi site and look everywhere for their privacy statements, finally i find it and, made the effort to READ IT
THOUROUGHLY.
**************************************************
So i went to read the (awfully long) PRIVACY POLICY (which starts like standard ok privacy policies).
***********************************************
=> Here is what i found:
It starts with: "Your privacy and the security of your personal information are very important to us. We want you to be as comfortable as possible visiting our Website and using our Online Products. We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of those who visit our Website and use our Online Products. "
=> Read way further and you will find:
"WHEN DO WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES?

=> More:

************************************************
So after that i went on to read their Terms and Agreements:
************************************************
Thank you for visiting the www.wu-yisource.com website (Website). The Site is an Internet property of Wu-YiSource.com ("Wu-Yi Source, " "we" or "us").

(ALTHOUGH ALL THE COMMUNICATIONS I RECEIVED bore and address in ALBERTA?!?
also: if you listen to the little talking "jesse williams" he talks about being in Headquarters in Nevada)
********************************************
Moreover, if you start scrutinizing the site there are discrepencies in the FAQ as an example:
********************************************
"What is your shipping policy?
Orders placed in the US take 5-7 business days to arrive through the carrier UPS, and 1-3 weeks for international orders through the United States Postal Service. Shipping is only $4.95 to anywhere in the world. "
"Do you ship outside the U.S.A?
Our products are available in every country on the planet. Shipping outside of North America is an additional $20.00. "
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Business behavior regarding the actual product:
They billed my cc on the 14 day right on the mark after THE ORDER was made (of course i received the tea 4 days after i made my order so that makes it a 10 days trial not a 14 days trial.
