  I canceled my seed subscription with this company in October 2024. Despite this, on July 2, 2025, I received an unexpected email stating that an order had shippedand I was billed over $254 without prior notice or consent.I immediately went online to cancel the order and contacted their support. After multiple emails back and forth, they are now refusing to reverse or cancel the charge, despite the clear cancellation months ago.This is not only unethicalit may be unlawful. I will be filing a formal complaint with my state's Attorney General and exploring all available legal remedies.

  Hi there - thank you for reaching out about this. Upon reviewing your account and correspondence with our team, it looks like our SeedCare team was able to provide you with a full refund on July 8, 2025. It appears that instead of canceling your subscription, you rescheduled it to a later date, which resulted in a new order being processed as scheduled.  

  We hope this cleared up any confusion regarding our subscription service and your Account. If there is anything else you need assistance with, please dont hesitate to reach out to us at ******************************

  Kindly, 

  Seed Health

  I am filing this complaint due to repeated unauthorized charges and shipments from Seed Probiotics after multiple attempts to cancel my subscription. I had been a loyal customer for some time and appreciated the product. However, in March 2025, I attempted to cancel after receiving a reminder email from Seed (subject line: "Another lunar rotation complete") indicating that my next shipment would process in three days. I followed the cancellation steps outlined in Seeds FAQ.Despite this, Seed charged me for and shipped three additional cycles without sending the same pre-shipment reminder email I had relied on each month. My efforts to cancel were ignored or not recognized by their system. When I contacted their customer service, they claimed they had stopped sending those reminder emails and had no record of my cancellation before June 27, 2025.I have since discovered that multiple other customers have reported the same issue on the BBB, indicating a pattern of poor subscription management and lack of transparency. Seed ultimately offered a 50% refund for only the most recent charge, despite the fact that all three were unwanted and clearly a result of miscommunication and system changes on their end.I am seeking full refunds for the two additional charges beyond what has already been partially refunded. This practice of removing key customer communication (like reminder emails) without notice, and then refusing full refunds when customers miss the narrow cancellation window, is misleading and deeply frustrating.Desired Resolution:A full refund for the two additional charges (prior to the partially refunded most recent one), and improved transparency and notification practices for future customers.

  As a customer of *********************** for years, I am shocked by how they treat their loyal customers. They will ONLY REMEDY any issues tied to your 1st order. Keep in mind, if you have any issues with their faulty online system, they will just close your issue without any resolution. Given their websites issues with payment and feedback on whether or not payments have gone through on June 10th, I attempted 1 order on June 10th with no feedback from the SEED and then I attempted another order on June 11th when the order went through. The system subsequently also charged me for the order on June 10th with notification on the 11th. I was charged twice and now have 1 year worth of their product with NO RECOURSE to return or refund the double charge due to their system failure. This is ridiculous especially in this economy. I am not at all surprised they dont have a A rating in BBB.

  Hi there, thank you for reaching out regarding this matter. We're so sorry to hear of any frustration this situation may have caused and I'd be happy to offer additional information. Upon reviewing your account and your correspondence with our team on June 18th, it appears there was an additional order placed after updating the billing information on your account. 

  On June 11th, you successfully updated your billing information, which automatically processed the previously pending charge on your account. After that order processed, our logs then indicate that another order was placed on the same day using the "Ship Now" option and then subsequently confirmed on the confirmation page prior to the order processing. Our records then indicate the first outreach regarding this matter was 6 days later on June 17th and we are unable to make any adjustments once an order processes. 

  Our refund policy applies to first orders only within their first 30 days of delivery. While I understand this may be frustrating, we are unable to accept any returns as we are unable to reuse or resell any product. With that said, our products’ shelf life should allow you to work through your entire supply at your own pace. We guarantee viability and potency up to the expiration date listed on the packaging.

  Again, we are so sorry for the frustrations this has caused and want to confirm your entire supply will be good through the July 1, 2026 expiration date listed on the package. If there is anything else we can assist with, please reach out to us at [email protected].

  They sent a second order, and I kept waiting & looking for it every day for a week. I was finally able to find the tracking info on the website which indicated it had been delivered 5 days previously to a side-yard over a gate!! Meantime, there have been construction workers plowing thru there; and the package is no where to be found! I would like a replacement delivery to my front door immediately, but cannot find a phone number or email to contact them to make this request. According to other complaints, you are able to contact them. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the package was delivered that way -- over a fence to the back/side yard? I would have never found it there, so didn't receive it; and now it's gone. Please help me reach them so I can get my product.

  On May 18th, my card was charged without my authorization. Despite multiple attempts to contact a live representative from Seed, no one was available. The responses I received were delayed by several days, and they still refused to return my money. The package is now in my possession and remains unopened., I had to contact my card company and submit a claim, providing all necessary documents for their review. Seed even sent a text message requesting confirmation of the subscription, which I did not offer, yet my card was still charged. The credit card company has since canceled the card to ensure no further transactions can be made by this company

  Hi there - thank you for reaching out regarding this matter. We're sorry to hear about your frustration here. Upon review of your account and your correspondence with our team, it appears there may have been some confusion surrounding our subscription model. 

  Any purchases made through our website are subscription based. We aim to provide clear, concise language, noting that we are a subscription-based service throughout the purchasing experience. The checkout flow prompts an agreement to the subscription plan, which is required in order to complete your order. This is why you received a second charge 4 weeks after that initial order. We also ensure your subscription is in your hands: you can view your upcoming refill dates, reschedule orders as often as you'd like, or cancel your subscription at any time directly in your Seed Account.

  With all that said, we're so sorry to hear of the frustration this situation has caused. While our refund policy typically applies to first orders only, you've since been issued a full refund for the order in question on June 11th. This will reflect with your payment method in which the order was made. If there is anything else we can further assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at *****************************************************.

  This business charged my card and sent me their product even though I canceled the subscription and the order. They did not send an email notifying me that a subscription order was going to be created and giving me a chance to modify or cancel it. When I saw that my card was charged, I immediately went into my account on their website, where there was still the option to modify the order to a later date or cancel the subscription. At that point, my card had been charged but the order had not been shipped. I immediately canceled the order and sent them an email also requesting cancellation and for the charge to be removed from my card. Instead, they shipped the items out anyway and refused to refund the card. A month ago, I had only wanted to place a one time order but they automatically created a subscription order and then charged my card and shipped out more product without any notice and without my consent. I believe that this company is operating in bad faith. I would like a refund immediately.

  Hi therethank you for reaching out regarding your most recent order. 

  After taking a look at your Account and your correspondence with our team, it looks like your subscription was cancelled after your order was processed. Please note, once an order is processed, we are unable to cancel, change or redirect a shipment as these orders go directly to our fulfillment center to be shipped. 

  At this time, we do not send email reminders as our our refills follow a consistent 4-week shipping schedule, which can be rescheduled anytime 24 hours prior to your billing date. Your billing date is available to view anytime in your Account dashboard. 

  We do not offer one-time purchases on ************************** and all members must agree to the subscriptions terms prior to an order processing to acknowledge that we are a subscription service. As per our refund policy, we are unable to issue you a refund at this time due to your request falling outside of our 30-day risk-free guarantee. 

  We appreciate your feedback as we are always looking to improve the member experience.

  I am a loyal customer and am enrolled in the 3 month supply subscription plan. I have not received my order and I have tried contacting Seed, which have not responded and the tracking no I was given makes no sense. I have contacted the delivery company and all I receive are format letters and no answers. I had to go out and purchase a 30 day supply which in fact I paid for a 3 month supply that was never received or delivered. It is quite disturbing that Seed treats their loyal customers with no regard.

  I ordered the initial Seed probiotic box. The product comes in a glass jar. When I got my package, the jar was broken and glass was everywhere. Package arrived on 5/30/25 and I contacted Seed that day for a replacement. They had not responded by 6/1/25 so I emailed them and asked for a full refund and they have not yet responded to either email. (They have only sent generic emails that welcome me and to let me know they received my email.) I want my money back.
