    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:

    On October 14, 2020, BBB investigated Ocean Project's business practices. This investigation was prompted by consumer complaints. These complaints shared concerns regarding the business failing to fulfill orders, respond to consumers, and honor their guarantees.

    BBB sent an email to Ocean Project asking the business to address and provide BBB with the following:  
     
    - Details regarding how the business honors its satisfaction guarantee and other policies
    - Details regarding how consumers can reach the business
    - Details regarding how consumers are notified of their order status
    - Details regarding any affiliation past or present to any company including but not limited to Wildlife Mission and Wildlife Mission Co.
     
    BBB also sent the company an SBQ (Standard Business Questionnaire) form to obtain more information on the business, its structure, management, etc., however the business failed to return the form.

    Additionally, BBB requested Ocean Project to modify, substantiate, or discontinue claims on their website that read, "Tracking Number Comes with Every Purchase"; "30-Day Money Back Guarantee" and "24/7 Customer Service"
     
    BBB's Code of Advertising Section 1 states, advertisements should be truthful, sincere offers to sell. Advertisers have a responsibility to have substantiation for all claims made and should be able to provide that substantiation upon request. Code of Advertising Section 20 states, when using the term “warranty” or “guarantee” the advertiser should clearly and conspicuously include a statement that the complete details of the warranty can be seen prior to the sale which could include putting it on the seller’s website.
     
    As of October 30, 2020, the business has not responded to BBB's request. 
     
    Before you place an online order make sure to review the company’s website, see if there is any negative information about the company, or check to see if BBB has any complaints reported. Also, check the website for contact information such as phone numbers, emails, and mailing addresses. Consumers want to make sure the company can be easily contacted if any issues may arise.

    Just to make this clear for people who visit this site...our very small nonprofit called "The Ocean Project" is being confused with the Ocean Project company, a for profit. It's very confusing and frustrating, as they are definitely not us and are misleading MANY people, to say the least. We had to shut down our FB page two years ago because there were so many upset people who were (wrongly) blaming us. It IS confusing and we have received complaints from several hundred people. Just please remember that we are a .org (nonprofit), a small organization, that has truly focused on ocean conservation to help protect the animals including turtles, sharks, whales, and all of us who need a healthy ocean to survive and thrive. We have been working for ocean conservation for over 25 years. Our website is: www.TheOceanProject.org (please note the "The" -- the for profit company many are having trouble with is on FB at ***************************************************). I hope the BBB will take action. Thousands of people are being unfairly treated by them.
