    I purchased the Co-enzyme Q10 from Research Verified as it states it is one of the best. When I received it, on the back of the bottle it states it contains MCT (**************************). I purchased for my high triglycerides and my physician said not to take this as it actually raises triglyceride levels. I have not opened the bottle. When I called ******, they said it is not a returnable item and to call the company. I Research Verified website, it states this product is 100% risk free and there is a 365 day money back guarantee. When I called, they said they actually do not give money back and I could not return it to them. I called ****** and told them and they told me to reach out to the actual 3rd party seller for Research Verified. I tried and they do not have a phone number that is answered and they are in **********. I have written them though ****** and ****** customer service has tried to help me but they said their hands are tied since it is not a returnable item because it is a vitamin. It was expensive so I want my money back but the customer service at ********************** is unprofessional, rude and not helpful in anyway. I would suggest no one buy from this company because they are running false advertisements and do not stand by their "risk free and money back guarantee ads). I would like this company to send me my money back. Thank you. ************* *****************************************

    ************************************************************************************** January 26th, 2025 BBB ******************************************************************************************************************************* Dear Madam/Sir:I initially filed this complaint on December 27th, 2024. Since then, I have NOT received a refund or any response from BBB or the company.I have been seeking a refund of $142.00 with NO results since November 12th, 2024, from the following business:Research Verified, LLC **************************************************** My wife ***** sought relief from her nightly 3 to 8 painful leg and foot cramps per night that wake her up. She has to do all kinds of stretching and walking to relieve them. I researched on-line and found Research Verified LEG CRAMP RELIEF.

She took them for twelve days, but sadly, they did NOT work for her. She has since been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and disc issues, the real culprits. She has an appointment for surgery on February 11th, 2025, for the fusion of an additional four vertebrae. I would like to resolve this matter SOON, before her surgery, as I will shortly be her full-time caregiver - again. She required months of continual care after her first spinal fusion in 2021.I mailed all six bottles back on November 12th, 2024, to Research Verified s shipping and receiving center at P.O. *************************************** via **** Priority Mail Tracking Receipt # **** 5107 8727 4317 5855 22.

    Suffering from foot and leg pain, caused by spinal stenosis, I responded to ads from Research Verified advertising some Nerve Support pills. For $48.00 I received a month's supply, which I took as directed. After 30 days I had experienced no pain relief. I had decided to try the product in view of the Research Verified refund offer in their ads:"If, within 365 days, you find that Nerve Support doesn't meet your expectations, return the bottles, empty or full, for your money back."I emailed Research Verified on 6/15/2004 using their "Contact Us" email service on their website, filling out all required information and requesting the promised refund and an address for return of the empty bottle as requested (I could find no company address on their website). I got no response, then followed up with emails on 6/23 an 6/30 - still no response! It seems clear that Research Verified has no intension of honoring their promised refund policy. I think that potential customers ought to know, and a resulting refund would be welcome!

    We are sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with our services and product.

    We were made aware of an error that occurred on our website. Thankfully, our customers reached out to us after their messages had been left "unanswered." This was very concerning and we immediately investigated. We are deeply sorry for this error and we have since resolved this matter with our IT department.

    Your refund was processed on July 4, 2024, and you should see it reflected back on your credit card within 5 - 12 business days or within the next billing cycle. You should be receiving an email confirming that the refund was processed.  

    In addition, we are sorry to hear that our product did not meet your expectations.

    Item #Description RVAPSRESEARCH VERIFIED - Appetite Supressant Order #RVAPS5000600733M I placed this order on Research Verified website on June 17th. I received the order on June 22nd. I tried the appetite suppressant pills that came in the bottle. One bottle was damaged and looked bent out of shape. I took the pills as directed which says 1 pill, 2 times daily. I noticed no improvement in my weight or cravings. I bought the product because it said on the website that they had a 365-day money back guarantee. I immediately contacted them on their website and never received a response or refund. I contacted them twice on the website with no reply. I am very disappointed by the lack of communication by the company and the false promises that they stand by the products they sale. I just want my money back for these false and misleading claims about this product. It gave me no weight loss and I still have cravings and it does not control my hunger. Completely bogus company with false products to consumers. I want my money back or the next step will be to file a dispute with my bank over this.

    We placed an order on 3/1924 for 3 bottles of Nerve Support for $98.00 and $6.95 shipping for total of $104.95. We were told when we ordered by ****** 3/19/24 @ 4:44 pm that ordered was placed, charged and will ship on 3/20/24 the next day. We have been calling, emailing, and getting nowhere. We are now being lied to, and told us that they don't know when it will ship?? I already was charged the $104.95. But still have no idea about our order? We are already disgusted with this company. Why do they have to lie to customers??

    We are so sorry that this was your experience with our company.

    Due to high demand, the product sold out however, we expect to shipments to resume shortly. 

    We have reviewed the communication and as we agreed, we will expedite shipping once we receive our new batch of our Nerve Support supplement.  The representative has also scheduled to give you a call again on Tuesday, March 26th for an update.

    Again, we are very sorry for this delay and we will get your product out as soon as possible.

    I am rejecting this response because:  of what I have been put through so far. Until my order plus the free bottle and being shipped by Fed Ex per **** at NO charge to me is received by me, I cannot accept at this time. The day it was ordered 3/19/24 with ******, she told me order will ship out tomorrow 3/20/24. Well after numerous emails with no response and 4 phone calls I was told item is back ordered?? So this is why I have to reject at this time. Order needs to be in my hands before anything. They cannot lie and keep doing this to customers, they would not like it done to them so they have to understand how we feel. Stop lying, and make sure you know what you are telling the customer when their order is placed.

    Thanks for reaching out and letting us know about the issues you experienced with our services.

    I cant begin to convey my apologies for your experience. Thats not how we like to conduct our business as our customers are greatly valued.

    I was able to gather more information regarding your experience, and it does look like we dropped the ball and provided inaccurate information. We are deeply sorry that the product was on backorder and that you were not informed of this and thereby told that your order would ship the next day. We have spoken to the representative responsible and we are updating our processes in order to prevent this from occurring in the future. 

    Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this caused you.

    There is no dispute that I purchased and returned the product in accordance with the guarantee. The dispute involves the amount that was refunded to me. The guarantee specifies a full refund less ****** ******* the company deducted 10% which is greater than the cost of the ****** I had several emails with a company rep pointing out the discrepancy. They simply refused to change the amount of refund. The money is not large but the issue is. They promised one thing but did not follow through on their promise. At this point, at the minimum, I would request a refund of the difference which is $4.25. I feel though, that since I have tried to resolve this and have had to resort to the BBB, that they should refund the entire 10% of the purchase price. I find it shameful that a company this large does not act responsibly.

    Business Response

    Date: 09/19/2023

    Hi,

    I am sorry for the confusion. Please allow for me to explain.

    I have reviewed the matter closely and I see that you were indeed refunded for the amount purchased $127.80. As per our refund policy, shipping and handling is non-refundable.

    The amount you paid for the product was $127.80, this price already reflects the DISCOUNTED amount. You purchased the 6 bottle promotion at the special price of $127.80 (plus shipping). As per our refund policy, shipping costs are non-refundable. You were refunded the FULL amount for the product you purchased, which was $127.80 (minus shipping). 

    I hope this clears things up and again, I apologize for the confusion. 

    Best regards,
