I am a price-checker by nature. I am ALWAYS comparing prices before actually buying something. In fact, I go to 2 grocery stores every week and know where I need to buy what items in order to get the lowest price. I do NOT like overpaying, as I’m sure you don’t either!
So I KNOW it’s tempting (and normal), once you’ve decided you want to buy doTERRA essential oils, to want to do a little price shopping!
Here is my Public Service Announcement…
If you purchase doTERRA Essential Oils, PLEASE purchase them directly from doTERRA. More and more, people are getting ripped off by buying their doTERRA oils from Amazon, eBay, and other third-party sites!
Just recently, someone posted in one of the private groups on Facebook that the latest bottle of doTERRA Lemon oil she ordered looked and smelled like WATER, with just a hint of lemon. She was going to call doTERRA Customer Service and complain, until it came out she had purchased the oil off AMAZON.
She said the bottle was completely sealed – What she didn’t know was that people can buy lids that look completely sealed and push this new lid on a bottle of oil that has been TAMPERED WITH.
The group promptly gave her an education about what scammers are doing, because unfortunately it is happening more and more.
The Problem
On sites like Amazon and eBay, some sellers are either cutting the oils with a carrier or dumping them entirely and filling them with water, then putting a ‘new’ cap on before selling them. And then, of course, they can sell the oils for a lower price.
doTERRA stands behind all of their products, but they cannot stand behind product that someone has purchased, potentially tampered with, and then resold. So if you did not purchase your products directly from doTERRA, there is nothing they can do if for some reason you are unhappy.
This scam is particularly disturbing since many of doTERRA's oils have a ‘Supplement’ label and can be taken internally… I cringe at thinking of someone ingesting one of these oils that has been tampered with, purchased off Amazon, eBay, or the like!!
The Solution
The ONLY way to ensure you are actually getting genuine doTERRA oils is to purchase from doTERRA!! How do you do that?? Get your own account, and begin purchasing directly from them! You will also have the GREAT benefit of a support system should you need it! And remember if you join my group and purchase a Starter Kit, I will send you a free gift to you as well! You will be getting 100% pure oils. :)
Please trust me when I say this… if you are finding doTERRA oils cheaper somewhere else, there is a REASON… and it’s probably not a good one!
Update: Members are no longer permitted to sell doTERRA oils on 3rd party sites like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and the like. So if you see someone selling oils there, know that they are violating their agreement with doTERRA! Just one more reason to buy straight from the source!
