I have been trying to cancel my subscription with this company all day with no success. I am a naval officer and on the boat and can’t take calls. I get a text advising that a rep will be with me and they never show up. I finally was able to activate a live chat button only to be told that a ticket has been submitted and the account manager will reach out to me shortly. I am not readily available as I said I am a naval officer at sea. This is pretty disgusting and a scam. Very easy to put in orders and no problem
Them taking the credit card but virtually impossible to cancel the subscription. I have wasted so much money on this and would like this resolved and my subscription cancelled immediately.Customer Answer

I have been trying to cancel my subscription for two days now. They don't have a real phone number to contact a human, and you cannot cancel your subscription without talking to a human. They have not been responsive to the messages I have sent to their text line and to their online chat bot. Additionally, they have not allowed me to remove my credit card information from their site.Business Response

I was targeted on social media (I say targeted because this company is fraudulent through and through) with a 40% off first order coupon. I paid $106.06 on 6/21/23 for the first shipment of meals. I was dissatisfied with the quality/quantity/shipping of the product and then wished to cancel my subscription. At this point I was notified via text (they will not chat or call you despite saying they will) that I cannot cancel my subscription for 4 weeks or shipments. This is not adequately displayed anywhere during the purchase process (if displayed at all). I now cannot get anyone on the phone or have them answer my questions. It's frustrating that the BBB does not have a rating for this company that shows how predatory and fraudulent they are. It is also alarming that I am clearly not the only person with this issue and they continue to engage in these practices. If there is not already an existing class-action I will be looking into it. I highly encourage the BBB to review their relationship with this company as it tarnishes the reputation of BBB to even mitigate disputes in any fashion.Business Response

On 05-24-23 I received an email about an upcoming order after I had used their online system to cancel my subscription. It said that someone would contact me about the cancellation however I never spoke to someone. I then sent an email confirming that the subscription was cancelled. I then got in contact with someone named *** on 05-29-23 who eventually escalated the issue to a manager & I was given ticket ************ I then spoke with ****** who was a manager who stated that they would make the requested changes to my account & it would take 24-48 hours. I then reconfirmed that I would be getting a refund in the amount of $198.28 & his response was “The refund can take up to 10 days. You will receive an email from our billing department as soon as it is approved.” Which was on 06-07-23. It is currently 06-26-23 & they do not return any form of contact that I make. I have an issue with the customer service since the beginning. All I would like is the refund to actually go through.Business Response

I purchased a Flex Pro Meal ********************** on June 12, 2023; once I received them, I came to find out that they subscribed me to a 4 delivery commitment that didn't even match the price of the first one. this was misleading as the first order only had a coupon added. When i tried contacting customer service the chat system all it does is submit a ticket request, and they would call me; after many attempts, I finally got a hold of someone to basically tell me that there is nothing they can do to cancel my subscription. The meals were very bad and I didn't personally like them, that's a side from the concern that the shipping quality was considering as the ice was melted and the meals weren't cold anymore. Now I am getting charged almost twice the price for the second delivery on June 22, 2023, and I haven't received it yet; I am trying to get a hold of them once again and its nearly impossible. I would like to cancel my subscription as soon as possible.Business Response

Ordered from flex pro to try it out. They automatically enrolled me into a subscription which I did not want. I reached out multiple days texting and using the website chat and have not been able to cancel my subscription. Even though I have tried to cancel and no one responds they continue to charge me for meals I don’t want. Worst experience ever. I just want to cancel my subscription and be done with them.Business Response

I was on my 3rd round of meals. Everything ok until I got the 3rd batch 1 day late. They were thawed and warm. Not only that, they were missing 8 meals. I received 13 out of 22 meals and I paid $222 in advance, Their customer service is impossible to reach. I am demanding a refund and a cancelation to my subscription. Poor customer service, poor service in general.Business Response

I’ve tried several different methods of contacting this company and have not been responded to in a week. Money was taken from my account for the product I received a confirmation email stating that my order had processed, then I received two separate emails saying my account is on hold because the payment didn’t process, when in fact the money was taken from my account. There is no way to contact a person directly. That is no way to run a business based on providing people their entire meals for the week. I’d like a refund and to cancel my subscription but I cannot find a way to do so and I cannot get a response.Business Response

On June 18th I placed an order with a discount code thinking it was for one month. I come to find out I enrolled in the pro plan that was not made clear whatsoever. My intention was to order the meals when I wanted them not on a recurring basis. I would like to cancel my pro plan due to the fact that it was not clear and I can not afford to buy this many meals at the price it is after the discount. I am
Unable to cancel my subscription online and it is very difficult to reach the customer service. Simple and plain what I want is to cancel my pro plan and order when I need it on my terms. I need this cancelled right now.Business Response
