I went online through **** to order this Instaflex Advanced Joint Support on 02/10/2025 - order # ************** three bottles at ***** + tax = ***** charged to my credit card. Received them on 02/18/2025. Followed the directions on the bottle and needless to say, this product didn't help me at all. Went back online to request a RETURN for my order through **** & the seller of which is SAJHAI 3546. I have followed all of the rules outlined by them in order to return this product back to them. Sorry to report, it didn't help at all & my return was denied by them for some unknown reason. When I went to see my Orthopedic doctor and showed the bottle to him, he said that this is FALSE advertisement on their part as there isn't a pill on the market today being advertised to support or cure bone health at all. The same with the product called Osteo Bi-Flex joint health - FALSE ADVERTISING ALSO. Only plasma shots can help with joint pain at this time or a partial knee replacement according to my doctor. All of this very expensive & most health insurance companies will not cover. So, these scammers come online to offer a PILL that can help cure joint pain to take advantage of you and rob you of your money. They need to be put out of business and stronger laws enforced to keep this from taking place.Business Response

Good Evening, Instaflex Advanced Joint Support is made with UC-II and Apresflex -- each of these two ingredients with multiple clinical studies showing verified benefits for joint health. Unfortunately the company cannot guarantee anything purchased on **** as they are not an authorized retailer of Instaflex Advanced, and neither is the seller you mentioned. If you would like to try the benefits of Instaflex we encourage you to visit our website at ****************************** to make any future purchases.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: THIS IS A INSTAFLEX PRODUCT AND SHOULD NOT MAKE ONE DIFFERENCE AT ALL AS TO WHOM IT IS BOUGHT FROM. YES, IT WAS PURCHASED UPON **** THROUGH A SELLER FROM SAJHAI 3546 ORDER # ************** 3 bottles of 30 capsules each = ***** + tax = 62.45. You being the parent company of this product located in ***********, *********; regardless of where it was bought from, should honor your own Guarantee return policy on your own product. THEIR IS NO LOGICAL REASON AT ALL ON YOUR PART NOT TO HONOR THIS RETURN - UNLESS IT ISN'T AT ALL WHAT YOU CLAIM IT TO BE AND THAT IS FALSE ADVERTISING ON YOUR PART OF WHICH BEING THE CUSTOMER INVOLVED AND BUYING THIS PRODUCT IN GOOD FAITH THAT IT MIGHT OF HELPED AND IT DIDN'T DO AT ALL AS BEING ADVERTISED BY YOU. WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME AND WHAT MIGHT WORK FOR ONE PERSON - DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL WORK FOR ALL. SEND RETURN LABEL & REFUND BACK ONTO MY CREDIT CARD.Business Response
Date: 03/19/2025
I'm sorry for your unpleasant experience. However, please understand it is impossible for any company to issue a refund for a product it did not sell. In addition, the company cannot guarantee the quality or authenticity of any product a consumer chooses to purchase from an unauthorized reseller. It is unfortunately the consumer's risk to bear when purchasing (usually discounted) products on a reselling site like eBay. If you feel you have received a product of inferior quality please report to **** immediately. I hope that they will be able to assist you further.

I am rejecting this response because: Never in my lifetime have I seen such a stupid response from them. Just what does **** have to do with this complaint against you tube - Google????? Did as requested from the last response received by the to go to *************** **************************** TV/get help - needless to say it did take me to a place to cancel this service with them and when I clicked on it to do so, it said that my credit card would be charged starting 03/28/2025 82.99. Then in an other area, it also said, membership is ineligible for a refund DUE TO YOU TUBE REFUND POLICY. Wasted time on my part. So, once again tried calling them again at 3:10 pm est at ************ to speak with a LIVE PERSON - couldn't do so because their system was down so they say. With ******* it is all about the money and not the service they provide to the customer without having to pay EXTRA for a lot of other things you don't want or need. I HAVE DONE AS REQUESTED BY THEM EVERYTHING THAT I WAS ASKED TO DO. IT IS TOTAL FAILURE ON THEIR PART TO ISSUE A REFUND BACK ONTO MY CREDIT CARD AND MAYBE TIME FOR THE *** & STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GET INVOLVED TO PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS FOR FALSE ADVERTISING ON THEIR PART.

I had ordered the product from them and it was saying that after 1 week that I would feel better. I informed them that I had not. They told me to keep trying to use the product. After 3 weeks I again let them know that it was not working. They told me again that sometimes that it may take longer. I again tried it for one more week and it did not help. I was told to use the rest of the bottle up and then to let them know. 6 weeks I again let them know and they told me that they only had a 30 day return policy. I informed them that I had been in touch with them the whole time and they told me they were sorry but they would not refund the $29.99 back to me.Business Response

Good Evening -- there may be some confusion. Customer ordered a 14 day trial of ********************** Advanced at no cost, only a shipping fee. This product has clinical studies showing efficacy beginning in 7 days. The trial order does not have any product to refund as it was just a trial size bottle without a fee. The customer also purchased a ********************** Multivitamin in a full bottle size. The multivitamin request for refund did not come in until nearly 2 months after the first order which is outside the refund period. We apologize for any confusion but there are items eligible for a return at this time.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I was in contact with them every step of the way which they obviously forgot to put in there notes.

Nugenix had a free trial of their product where the customer only pays shipping. I read, and re-read the page to make sure there was no recurring charges or subscriptions before I signed up because things like that have happened in the past. It specifically said you will not be charged anything other than the shipping. Today, I checked my account and saw a $75 charge. I called customer service and he said that I signed up for a subscription. I told him exactly what it said when I made the purchase and he said that their policy is that I have to pay for shipping to send it back with tracking and then call them to see if they receive it and then I can get a refund. This is very frustrating because I MADE SURE that there were going to be no recurring charges. They are lying to customers and taking their money and on top of that, charging us to ship back the product we didn't sign up for. I not only want my money back, I want them to pay for the shipping and to post CLEARLY on the website that you will be signed up for a monthly subscription and you will have to pay for your own shipping to send the product back if you do not want it.Business Response

I ordered a sample packet last night for Instaflex. when I looked at my card this morning, I had a charge of $31.79. plus the $5.99 that it was suppose to be. The girl I spoke to said that I ordered vitamins with my order. I absolutely did not order vitamins. When I sent order thru it was just for the sample. I hate when companies do this to me.
