They don’t tell you they’re going to… They don’t tell you they’re going to charge you $79 a year for a “membership”! Scam alert! I’m trying to get my $79 bucks back. Let’s see what happens! Update, I was notified they will refund me the membership that they surreptitiously charged me for! Buyer beware!

Good Deodorant I ordered a number of items, including the deodorant in the paper tube, some kitchenware, some cereal and snacks, and dish soap. Everything is good quality. I found Public Goods because I was looking for a plastic-free deodorant option, and this didn't disappoint - it works well for me and smells nice (mild citrus). The only downsides I see are the plastic bag used to carry the deodorant (I get that it comes in a paper tube - maybe a PLA-coated wrapper would solve this problem) and the shipping costs for small orders. The prices are not bad for these types of products, but you have to order quite a bit (especially for one person) to get free shipping.

A compassionate company with great products and people. We are struggling right now and I forgot I had my public goods membership payment coming up. I asked to cancel and not only did they cancel, they gave me a refund with out my even asking. It's a small blessing that meant a lot. I'm incredibly impressed with the company and its people. The products are amazing but so are the people. Thank you! We will be back!

Persistently deceptive scammer Just an awful, unscrupulous firm that attempts to hide its plan to charge for costly "membership" whenever you buy anything from them -- anything at all, including small, low-cost items. Their photos also make the plastic bottles they sell things in look much, much larger than they are. This company obviously stays afloat by persistently deceiving consumers. You should stay away!

10 of 10 Love the products, love the prices, and the overall aesthetic. If something does go awry, customer service is swift, clear, concise and helpful. Only thing I would love to see is for more of the products that come in plastic containers shift to paper or compostable polymers like glucose. Same with the chip/snack bags instead of plastic/mylar there are alternatives out there that biodegrade in days/weeks
