    I placed an order July 11th & my card was charged immediately. I received a shipping notification, however, the tracking stated that only a label was created. I have been checking every day & the tracking details have not changed. Today is now July 25th and the status is still the same. I have been emailing the company & continue to get the same robotic answer. I was finally asked if I wanted a human response. I did get one but it said my order was in transit & if I need further assistance, to send a chat on the website. I checked the tracking again, nothing has changed. Went on the website to chat a human and when the chat button is pressed, the screen remains blank. At this point, I want the order cancelled and a refund issued. I also want an email from the company confirming my refund

    Purchased a 4 bottle bundle with them in May and tried it for almost 2 months. They claimed 60 day money back guarantee for 1 bottle if they didn't show results. I contacted them last week and asked for a refund because not only was I not seeing the results they were claiming but I actually gained weight. I was met with an automated chat and it was getting tedious with the questions asking if I tried different things like taking them at different times, etc. I kept asking for a refund and I tried to message them again through their chat a couple days later. They said I could only get a refund if the bottle was unopened. I explained to them that it didn't make sense with their guarantee and it's opened because I tried them and kept trying them to see if I would see results eventually. They told me to take a photo of the opened bottle. I did. Then they said I would have to send an email to ******************************** with all the info. I didn't. Then I get a response saying that the message failed to send and that Gmail would try again for the next 46 hours. I am now convinced this company is a scam. They gave me the runaround after trying their hardest not to honor their guarantee and the only reason why I bought their bundle of 4 to begin with was because it was cheaper per bottle to do so and I thought, the worst that could happen is it doesn't work and I wasted $150 and the best that could happen is it works and I saved some money on bottles. Now, I'm out over $200 and frustrated at all the wasted time and effort in trying to get a refund per their guarantee of refunding the price of 1 bottle should it not work.

    Hi *****

    Thank you so much for reaching out, and please accept our sincerest apologies for the delay in replying as well as for the confusion and frustration youve experienced. We completely understand how disappointing this has been, especially when you were hopeful the product would work for you.

    We want to reassure you that weve now issued a refund for one jar under our 60-day money-back guarantee. Youll also receive an email shortly with return instructions for the remaining unopened jars, so we can process a refund for those as well. See attached a copy of your order so you can see we have issued a refund. The funds will be processed in the next 2 to 5 business days.

    Were genuinely sorry for the back and forth you experienced when trying to get assistance. Its clear that the process was not as smooth as it should have been, and for that, we sincerely apologize.

    Additionally, wed like to clarify the email domain issue it seems you were directed to contact ********************************* but our official customer support email is actually @*********************** (not .com). This misunderstanding likely caused your message to bounce, and were very sorry for the added confusion and inconvenience that caused.

    Please rest assured that we are honoring your request and doing our best to make things right. We truly value you as a customer, and we appreciate you giving our product a try, even though the results didnt meet your expectations.

    If you have any questions or need further support at any stage of the return, please dont hesitate to let us know. We're here to help.

    The product came with a 60 day full refund guarantee but when a refund was requested, since the product did not provide the benefits it was supposed to provide, they refused a refund using an automated system, saying it did not meet the criteria for the refund with no further explanation.

    I have been subscribing monthly for Happy Mammoth ********************* for at least 2 years. Product used to be delivered to my house free of charge. This month it is suddenly diverted to a ****************** with a charge of $15 Cad fee. I want to cancel my prescription but I cannot contact the company. The website only has an email address that refuses to accept my email and it got bounced back. The chatbot on the website does not recognize a Canadian postal code and it goes around and around in loops asking for the 5 digit US postal code which I don't have. Below is the message from postmaster telling me the email of Happy Mammoth does not accept my email.

    Hi **********

    Thank you so much for reaching out and for your continued support over the past two years. Were truly sorry for the frustration and confusion this recent experience has caused you and we completely understand how upsetting it must be.

    We want to start by sincerely apologizing for the unexpected $15 CAD fee at ****** Post. Please know that this should not have happened all shipping costs are included in the final price you pay at checkout. We were not previously aware that *********** had begun charging some of our customers this extra fee, but were now actively looking into it.

    Could you please confirm if youve already paid the $15 CAD fee? If so, kindly send us a clear picture or copy of your receipt, and we will issue a full refund for that amount right away. If you havent yet paid it, we can ask our warehouse to contact the carrier directly to ensure delivery is completed without any extra charges. Either way, please rest assured you will not be responsible for this additional fee, and we will take care of it for you.

    Regarding your concern about the shipping fee on your order our records show that your monthly subscription has always included a standard $6.99 shipping charge, as the order value is under our free shipping threshold of $99 USD. We understand this might not have been clear before, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

    We also want to clarify the issue with our email address it appears your emails may have bounced because of a small typo. Our correct email is @************************************************ (ending in **** not .com). We realize this can be confusing, and we're very sorry about the inconvenience this has caused. We've just sent you an email from our official address so you can reply directly to us with any details or questions no need to start over again.

    Lastly, were more than happy to assist you with your subscription. Whether you'd like to cancel, pause, or make changes to your delivery schedule or frequency, just let us know and well take care of everything for you.

    Thank you again for your patience and understanding. We're here to help and will make sure this is fully resolved for you.

    Warmly,
    Happy Mammoth

    I ordered the product 6/6/25. I started taking it and at first, I didn't notice much I thought it was just my eczema acting up but then I started breaking out in hives and itching so bad everywhere. It was awful and I had to purchase medicine to help with the hives and itching because I could barely make it through the day at work. I ordered the Hormone ******* PLUS bundle that cost ******. I'd be happy to send everything back if a label is provided for me to do so.

    I am rejecting this response because: I have tried multiple times during the business hours to chat with an agent when you claim that chat is available. Just to receive a message saying agents are not available at this time. You should not be claiming that chat is available if it is not. I also did email you directly. Im not comfortable adding pictures of my body to show the hives. Once I stopped taking the supplement they have slowly started to go away. Im more than happy to resolve this directly and in a timely manner as I am within the 60 days. It was a special not a bundle my apologies for the incorrect title.

    Dear ********
    Thank you for your response and for clarifying the situation.
    Were truly sorry for any confusion or frustration youve experienced, and we want to reassure you that we're here to help resolve this matter as smoothly and promptly as possible.
    To clarify, we would never ask you to provide personal photos of your body. Our request was only for pictures of the unopened jars, as part of our standard return process. This helps ensure that returned products are accepted by our warehouse team.
    We also want to apologize for any issues you encountered with our chat service. Its not our intention to cause inconvenience, and we're working to improve the reliability of our support systems, including chatbot routing and live agent availability.
    You should have just received an email with the return instructions. Please follow those steps, and once your return is on the way, kindly send us the tracking number and courier name so we can monitor it and process your refund accordingly.
    Thank you again for your patience and understanding. Were committed to making this right for you.

    I received the product but never opened the package, as I was advised by my health care professional to not take these pills. I tried returning them right away, but the merchant kept giving me the runaround. They asked for photos of the items, although I had told them I never opened the box they came in, so i sent them photos. They never replied back. I opened a dispute with Affirm, who i used to pay Happy Mammoth, and they denied my claim stating the merchant sent me communication on what to do next. They never sent anything in reply to my last email. I checked my junk/spam folder and had nothing from them. I sent Affirm photos of every single email I had sent and received from the merchant. This company is a fraud! I want my money back asap!

    To resolve this, we kindly ask that you refuse the package when ***** attempts delivery. Please confirm by sending us an email to ******************************* once youve refused the shipment so we can track it and act accordingly.
    Rest assured, we are not trying to give you the runaroundjust following the necessary steps to ensure everything is handled properly. Were committed to making this right and appreciate your patience as we finalize this process.
    If you have any further questions or need help tracking the return, please dont hesitate to reach out.

    I placed an order with Happy Mammoth on June 7, 2025 for Order # *******. I requested a return. I received a message back saying they would happy to help with a return and would I send photos of the product. I sent another request for a return with photos of the product (unopened).

I would like to return for a refund (as they offer).

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
