How the Free Acai Berry Trials Work
You might have noticed that every acai product that we have listed on this site offers a free trial, and there's a reason for that. Acai tends to be expensive in pure formulations -- that's not to say that you can't find acai in other places, it's just that many of the cheaper supplements are unpure and have little potency. The purest forms of acai will naturally cost more money. And because they cost money, the manufacturers are often willing to give you a sample of the goods to ensure that you become a long-time customer; i.e. a free trial.
During the free trial, the product is free, but you must pay for shipping and handling, which is usually very reasonable at $4.95 or $5.95.
Each manufacturer is different, but the most common trial periods are two weeks and four weeks (or 30 days). They also vary on when the trial periods starts. Some trials begin the moment you place your order, and some begin several days after you place your order, to allow for transit time. These considerations are noted in each detailed review.
One thing that is almost universal in the free trial offers is the concept of continuity. In order to get the free trial, you agree to receive regular monthly shipments of the product until or unless you cancel. That means that after you receive your trial and a certain number of days has passed since the trial began, you will automatically be shipped another batch of acai berries.
So you must make sure to mark down the date that your trial period begins. Use the numbers on this site as a guideline, but because these programs can change frequently, refer to the manufacturer's site for the exact details. If you decide that the product is not for you, be sure to cancel the monthly shipments.
Either way, these products will also carry a guarantee of some sort (again, listed in the review), so even if you don't cancel in time, you can send back the shipment for a full refund. But why bother with the hassle? Just keep track of your dates ahead of time, and make note of when you need to make a decision so as to prevent any unnecessary surprises.
