  Hello, 

  After taking a look at the order and requested refund, I noticed that the email address was entered as *************************** rather than the email that we received correspondence from, **************************** Therefore, our system was not able to locate the order. We were just requesting that information to confirm and look up the order. The refund was stalled due to the shipping tracking number not being scanned as delivered. As of today, July 5, 2023, the order has been manually refunded by our support team. I hope this is helpful!

  Thank you!

  I have tried 2 waves and none worked for me I switched the first which was rose colored for the black. And was charged an additional $10.00 for what should have been an exchanged of a defective item. I also had to switch up my band because the band that came attached to the wave slips when you sweat. This item is supposed to be geared towards those who sweat, and why is a sweat proof an extra charged? I wanted this item to work so badly I shelled out the $360.00 of my social security check. Because of my, optimism, and prayers that the wave would work for me. My optimism soon crashed and burned when i flashed in the frozen food section of the market on a snowy day and found myself pushing the button on my wave and on my phone app several times in vain and frustration. I was drenched in sweat until i place a bag of frozen peas on my wrist and opening a roll of paper towels to help cool me and to dry my face and neck. I paid for the items , more money I had to dish out.I have sent both the wave and the band back and requested a refund. I received confirmation of return items. I received a letter from ********** for refund amount $ ****** I have received several correspondence from this company containing threats of my not receiving a full refund for the wave and the extra band. I cant believe how they treat customers who with medical conditions that would warrant paying with prayers for relief from suffering. I have to wait two weeks or more for Embr to examine and determine if I damaged the item before initiating my refund . They are selling false hope and making me pay by keeping part of my refund. I received an email offering a better wave. I thought I was getting the best item . I am reporting the indignities I have suffered I in hopes that no one else is treated so unfairly.

  After taking a look at all orders involved in this case, it seems that order ****** was originally placed using a $10 promo code "Well10". Therefore when the exchange for a Black Wave 2 from the Rose **** Wave 2 was made under order ******, and the $10 promo code was not entered or applied during the transaction, a $10 charge was applied. 

  As of 3/16/2023, all orders have been refunded. We received correspondence on 3/15/2023, at which time we further confirmed that all orders have been refunded in their entirety. There are no further funds that we have to refund on our end.

  I bought an Embr Wave bracelet back in 11/2022 around the 15th and then returned it on 12/8/22 because it didn't work. It was supposed to help with hot flashes especially at night, it did nothing for me. They were supposed to deduct 4 payments of $79.43 each month. They deducted the first payment in november and then on 12/12/22 they deducted the second payment of $79.42. I called them to let them know that I sent the product back on 12/8/22 and asked for my money back. The first payment I had to fight to get back finally on 12/27/22 but I still haven't gotten my second payment for the $79.42 that was deducted on 12/12/22. The company that is listed on my payment says Sp Aff ********************/** ** Card Purchase. I hope that you can help with this.

  On December 22, 2022, order ****** was fully refunded on the Embr Labs end. The order was originally placed through Affirm, which continues to process the payments even after the refund has been completed on the retailer's side. Once the payment plan contract period is complete, the amount should be refunded through Affirm directly. 

  Once we have processed the refund on our end, the funds are no longer available to us. We would suggest contacting Affirm to check on the status of your refund with relation to the end of your payment plan contract.
