4ocean Arvostelua 

The coral reef bracelet I ordered was beautiful and I wear it almost everyday. I plan on ordering three more for my mom, sister, and sister-in-law for Christmas. I love how you get to choose which animal you would like to focus on and they get so many compliments. It makes me feel like even this small contribution can help our oceans in the long run.

What is wrong with you people who are saying that this is a scam because you didn’t get your bracelet? The purpose is to help 4 Ocean in their cause to clean the plastic up not to make and sell jewelry. They are not a retail business they are so gooders! At least they are making a real impact on the oceans. Have you seen a baby whale dead because it was poisoned by plastic while it’s mother holds it and mourns? You are donating to prevent any more mothers from holding their dead baby. They die because of what we humans do! Get a grip!

I love my bracelet. I purchased the one with blue and green thread. To me those are the colors of Gift of Life transplant group. My husband had a liver/kidney transplant 2 years ago. As with any group or product there are ney sayers. We choose to live on the positive side and live for our donar.

I can’t BELIEVE some reviewers! This is a CHARITY that happens to CLEAN THE PLASTIC OUT of our OCEANS. And they’re complaining their bracelet doesn’t work. Cripe people are meatheads.
I’ve been donating to this charity for almost a year. Not one problem.
They do what they say they do. They’ve taken millions of lbs. of plastic from our waters. The bracelet is small beads on a string made from recycling that plastic. They send monthly emails and bracelets to keep us informed about their projects.
GREAT CHARITY

If i could give zero i would
Donated for 2 bracelets, received one. Knot is too tight to open & retie it & it just falls off wrist DO NOT DONATE TO THESE GUYS....
SCAM ARTISTS.

I am inspired by how you have created the enthusiasm of clean up for the oceans .
I want to ask what happens to all the plastic you collect , where is it shipped to and how is it used in the next stage of life beside bracelets

Don't get misled, this is a company that sells bracelets. They are just really good at making it seem like charity.
If you want to feel good about yourself, go to the beach, catch 2 pounds of plastic and save 40 dollars.
You don't need to be a genius to understand that 1 pound for 20 dollars is really inefficient when tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every day.
Although their website, as well as a lot of what they do and claim, is shady, they do not seem to be doing anything illegal, and at the same time, they are getting rich at your expense

I bought One, because I was a foul. Their service was good. STILL, IT IS A SCAM!

They are taking down the comments? And trustpilot goed with it? The reviews should help people find scams! And this is one! How can you have trust in your name?

I am wondering what percentage of the net profits (after salaries for the jobs created, overhead, etc) go to the cause? I think this idea is great, and I understand the logic stated concerning why for-profit status works better for the mission than non-profit, but I'm still wondering what percentage of the NET goes to the owners versus the cause. This is very important information when deciding about charitable giving. My girls are having lemonade stands to support 4Ocean, and I hope they are actually supporting cleaning the ocean and expanding the reach, not enriching the owners. I see these comments are reviewed closely by the company... can you share the information with everyone please?

I am trying to donate to this monumental task I am not really concerned with getting bracelets but I'm sure my kids would like to have. My daughter has expressed becoming a marine biologist and this my be the boost she needs,We live in Ga and can travel to help. I have read some of the reviews and a majority of the bad reviews are in my opinion unfounded, Great job 4ocean.

I jumped on this to share with my grand daughter living in Virginia Beach, VA. She is 13 and the perfect age to create an awareness and possibly a volunteer. Even if she gets her own group of friends together and clean the beaches - well, it teaches them duty to community, doing something honorable for their time and effort and hopefully, planting seeds for their future life choices. A for profit company is not the boogey man!!! My husband ran a not for profit post graduate school for 25 years. Rule #1 was: never take money from the government. And, they didn't. All things were raised by private donations from basically hard working people - irrespective of "class". Yes, it would be easy to scam us all. Yes, doesn't take much to come up with glossy photos. But, I have faith this fledgling company is on to something very big. Too soon to be too critical. Unless egos take over and it is their sincere desire to make an impact on our world's oceans - then I will pray for them, hope they get a decent paycheck, put the calculated monies needed to put back into the business and wish them well. Folks who live in glass houses ought not throw stones. If you really want to get annoyed, check out the Clinton Foundation!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful bracelet! I love it. It was expensive but I wanted it anyway. I like the way it looks and the story behind it.

Just received my bracelet - and I LOVE IT!
It looks beautiful and it makes me so happy to see it on my wrist. I love that it helps removing the plastic, and that you can help an animal too. I will definitely buy from here again!

My bracelet unfortunately broke when I got it, but the customer service was very, very helpful. They helped me get another bracelet and were very kind throughout the whole experience.

Hi again
Just got my bracelet..(Father's Day.. UK).and yes 5 Stars given...😁
See that still negative people trying to do there bit..😞.
All that can be said is any help is better than NONE!
To the company:-
Keep up the GOOD work..
Will look at Donating in a couple of months AGAIN..🙂

I live in Canada and but through 2 large orders. I contacted them concerned that I had lost the tracking information. They emailed me within 24 hours on 2 occasions and put my worries to an end. I recieved all items within 2 weeks. I am thrilled with the level of detais sent with the bracelets. I am one happy supporter of this company!😁

The bottle gets so cold, you can hardly hold it. And I was extremely upset that it did not fit my car cup holder. I would not have spent $30.00 if I had known this.

Opinion

Good day

To the Company..

I donate regularly to a few selected Organizations:

St Jude
Hero's on the Water
local Public TV/Radio

to name 3.

All correspondence and trinkets received from a donation lessen the impact of the donation. I instruct all to stop the 'hard item' Reports, Trinkets, Paper mail correspondence, etc. If received, i immediately throw them out.

With your Bracelets, you have entered an area, that will mask the customer satisfaction of your Company and of the Donator if the Bracelet fails in one form or another. Although not as popular anymore, how many of us donated to, and received from, an Organization an unsolicited 'gift' of a Blanket (American Indian), Plastic American Flag, Religious, etc. that were promptly evaluated and discarded?

I ask, are you an Environmental Cleanup Company or a Trinket Sales Company?

To those that bought the Bracelet:

You have every expectation of receiving a 'quality' (your definition here) Product but, as others have mentioned, this is a donation with a Bracelet as a Gift. Regardless of the marketing distraction, I would advise that any further 'donation/purchase' be considered as such, a donation.

One other detail, fortunately or not, I live on/near the eastern Shore and have those tourist souvenir shops all over. I have seen the Bracelets being sold on a Card at the Cash Registers for the same price point. As such, I have the ability to inspect the item prior to purchase and choose to buy (for donation purposes) and then discard if substandard.

If you have the same access, buy them there to avoid the web marketing nuisance.

Thank you

I've seen the adds on TV and were skeptical so I did some research through the BBB and they have an excellent rating. So I invested in one of the bracelets. It is just as advertised. The beads are recycled glass bottles, so be careful of abuse, and the cord is recycled plastic. I'm an old Boy Scout and understanding how to adjust the bracelet came easily. I'm looking forward to getting a different color bracelet in the near future.

I have 4 bracelets and I love them all. I read some of the reviews and I just cannot believe how ignorant some people are. I am aware that 4Ocean is not jewelry store or a non-profit organization, if you are looking for a bracelet for a black-tie dinner, you might be on the wrong website. Do your research before you buy and please do your research before you post.

Great endeavor! Note that 4ocean is not a charity and never claim to be. Their bracelets are made in Bali, providing jobs to the developing country, and their profits are being invested in even more ocean cleanup projects. I am a monthly subscriber and wear 5 bracelets at a time. The bracelets are lovely, durable and water resistant. Their customer service is fantastic.

Note that due to the handmade nature of the bracelets there may be some variation in the knots on each bracelet, so some are harder to adjust than others, but I love seeing those little indicators of the human touch.

Thank you for all that you do. I am a loyal customer and collector.
