    Ombre's Gut Health Test Kits include a prepaid label on the return box. This is stated on our product page and also printed on the return box itself. The only way a package can be sent back to a customer is if they used the shipping box that their kit was shipped in. The shipping box will have the recipients name on there and if they reused the shipping box to ship their kit then it would return back to them. 

    Our prepaid labels are directed to our lab and never directed to the customer's address. It is likely that this customer shipped their kit with the box we used to ship their kit. And since our labels are prepaid, we never require customers to pay to ship it. 

    We've closed the case and refunded the customer since we've never received her sample.

    I am rejecting this response because: My issue is with the false advertising which is why I made my initial purchase. Only to now find out you just sell generic probiotics that are not based on my unique results. You are implying you have more unique blends that can help address specific deficiencies people have. This is not the case. You just tell people to buy your generic probiotic and do not have a blend based on my unique deficiencies. Since you did not deliver what you said you would, I would like a refund.


    Sincerely,

    ecific beneficial bacteria to grow. While science has not been able to replicate and encapsulate many of the beneficial bacteria that we know positively influence our health, continual research has provided valuable insight into which strains of bacteria (generally found within the bifidobacteria family and lactobacillus family) are able to change the environment of the microbiome to encourage the growth of critical beneficial bacteria as well as directly targeting any pathogenic growth. Additionally, continual research has provided the exact strains of probiotics that can be used to address specific imbalances or symptoms.So while you wont see some of the specific bacteria presented deficient within your analysis in your probiotic, you will see specific strains of bacteria that have shown within the research and clinical studies to target presented symptoms and optimize the microbial environment resulting in an increase in specific beneficial bacteria that you may be deficient in

    Dear BBB Representative,??I had originally signed up for a supplement program through a company called Thryve which later rebranded as Ombre. I had received their supplements on a monthly basis for over a year. When they rebranded toward the beginning of ******************************************************** March of 2022 I deactivated my account with Ombre. ??I received email notification from Ombre on 10/2/2022 informing me that they were sending me a shipment of product and I responded the next day that I did not order this product and letting them know I had deactivated my account back in March of 2022 and that I wanted an immediate refund and would happily send back their product. I received a response on 10/4/22 that the product had already shipped that if I was to return it I would be charged a 25% restocking fee and have to pay for return shipping which is unacceptable to me as I never ordered this product.??I am looking for assistance from the BBB to help in receiving a full refund and making sure Ombre does not erroneously send me product or charge me in the future. Anu assistance you can provide would be very much appreciated.??Sincerely,*********************** ************??Ombre ORDER #OM65172

    Hi Merill, 

    We see the conversation you have with our customer care team and it's been settled. We've received the return and the refund should process once the case you filed has been processed. The reason why you continued getting probiotics its because you pushed the delivery date further instead of cancelling the subscription. We've gone ahead and made the cancellation for you on our end.  

    Best,

    Ombre ************* Team

    I have a subscription for quarterly deliveries of a gut health product from Ombre Labs. On May 24, 2022, Ombre charged my credit card in the amount of $89.99 twice. I have not been able to successfully contact the company to resolve this duplicate charge. Because of this, I cancelled my subscription, yet received product by **** on September 10, 2022.
