I ordered socks from ******************************* and they are the incorrect socks. Their website states they have a return policy for 30 days after purchase. I purchased the socks on May 3, 2025. I have contacted the company multiple times through their website since May 8, 2025 and have received no response other than automatic emails. They have no instructions on how to return the items.Business Response

I was going to order two pairs of socks. That was about $18. The website leads you to a page where you MUST order additional items to continue, so I stopped my order and didn't confirm the additional items. My order should then not have been processed. I then received an email charging me $83.60. I immediately contacted them to cancel the order but they shipped it anyway.Business Response

I purchased these just a week ago, they came quickly. But when my husband saw that they didn't have toes, he wouldn't even try them on! So I would like to send them back for a refund, but I can't seem to get ahold of a phone number, or even an address. The email address for them won't load on my phone.Business Response

SootheRelieve automatically placed my order for socks while I was merely looking at them as per their email ad to me. They purported to have a special for extra pairs of compression socks. I had ordered a pair a couple months ago and was fairly satisfied with them. I only looked at the email link to see how much another pair would be on special sale. Before I knew what happened it came up as ORDER PLACED. I was only looking at the price!! I tried to cancel immediately but their site wouldn't let me. Eventually, several emails from me and they replied saying the socks were already in the shipping system and can't be canceled. Only option is to return them when I receive them. I just received them today, but not 1 pair or even 2 but 5 pairs of the socks!!! They enclosed NO INVOICE/RECEIPT, so I have NO IDEA HOW MUCH THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD!!! I searched for this info on their My Account page but there is NO INFORMATION!!! NO order history, etc. like all other online companies have. I wrote them online to complain about this lack of access and transparency but they only replied with an AI message on my email asking me to reply to from my email. I did that and now awaiting, but not expecting a timely response or resolution. I saw their ad the first time while playing my online Scrabble. I checked them out but was unaware of their unscrupulous business practices. That's when I ordered a pair of compression socks and was ok with them: though overpriced, they do help with my ankle swelling. I am an elderly senior on a very tight fixed income. I can't afford overpriced items and Fraudulent charges on my credit card. This company is very unscrupulous by baiting people to purchase, unaware and unbeknownst, then not allowing to rescind the order that was not authorized in the first place. Now I won't know how much money I am out til I receive my credit card statement. Don't remember which card I used as Soothe isn't letting me see my account. Please help ??Business Response

Ordered one pair of socks for $17.00. The company added several more pair of socks to the order without my permission, total $100.71. I immediately cancelled the order but they told me it had already shipped. This is obviously a scam. Would like a refund immediately! Thank you.Business Response

On 5/3/2025 I order one pair of their socks to try with ******. $14.90 Order #************* Was contacted by ****** indicating they had received two orders from SoothRelieve. I was also being charged for four more pairs of socks $60.91 for a total of $75.81. I contacted SoothRelieve to cancel the second order within their 12 hour cancellation window. I was told by ********* they could not cancel because the order had shipped. SoothRelieve will not pay for return shipping. I would like SoothRelieve to pay for return shipping and a full refund of the second order $60.91.Business Response

Dear *******,
Thank you for your patience. We have reviewed your case and see that we will not be able to proceed with your refund because a chargeback case has been initiated from your side.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to issue a refund when a dispute is in progress. In this case, there are 2 options available:
If you can lift the chargeback with your payment provider, we can proceed with the refund request from our side.
If lifting the chargeback is not possible, please note that the outcome will be decided by your payment provider, not by us as the merchant.Additionally, please be aware that the chargeback resolution process might take up to 30 days and once the payment provider makes the decision, we will not be able to proceed otherwise.
Please let us know how youd like to proceed and if theres anything else, we're here to help in any way we can, you can reach out to us at *********************************************************************

This is the experience that I have had with SoothRelieve. On 03-05-2025 I intended to purchase one pair of their compress socks from their online store to try for size and comfort (Order # *************). Shortly after purchase I was notified by my payment method that I was being billed for an additional 4 pair of socks that I did not order. I contacted SoothRelieve and asked them to cancel the order and received the following.

Hello Ruichard,
Thank you for reaching out.
Upon checking, I see that your order has already been packed and is on its way to the carrier. Tracking details will be sent to you shortly.
Since the package is already in transit, were unable to process a refund at this stage. However, once it arrives, youre welcome to initiate a return by following our return policy guidelines.
Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.
Kindly, Chatterly
SoothRelieve teamI then contacted my payment company and asked them to check into this problem and they indicated they could not assist me with the issue and were closing their case on the request. I received the five pair of socks but did not open the package. I contacted SoothRelieve again and was provided with the response below.

Hello *******,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Upon review, it seems that you have already filed a report with your payment provider. I want to clarify that once a chargeback process is initiated with your bank or credit card issuer, we are unable to process a refund from our end, regardless of the outcome of the chargeback.
This policy ensures the integrity and finality of the financial process involved. Therefore, any resolution will be conducted directly through their platform.
Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Kindly, Maya
SoothRelieve teamMy payment provider has advised me they cannot do anything as the seller is telling them the order is valid. The payment provider has closed my dispute for that reason. There is NO chargeback and the above response from the seller appears to be a stalling tactic.
The sock packages are unopened and there should not be any reason that I can not receive a full refund for the four pair of socks that I did not order.
Any assistance with issue would be greatly appreciated. If you need additional details I have email communications with all the parities involved.
Thank You,
