    Hello ************;,

    We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you have not cancelled your account has rolled into a monthly subscription as agreed to by the terms and conditions (you had to agree to the terms to be able to place the order). We did not receive a cancellation request from you in the allotted time, so we naturally assumed that you were satisfied with the product and charged you accordingly, as agreed to by the Terms and Conditions.

    Rest assured, the account is canceled and you won't receive any further charges.

    Thank you

    I ordered the (order #A013D66C6291 ) gummies in December 2023, charging my card for ******. I ate 4 of them and the taste made me sick so I immediately stopped taking them. I reached out to customer service and was told to return the empty bottles and I would get a refund. I shipped them back on 12/21/23, (which cost me $50) to PO BOX ***** LAS VEGAS ** ***** Tracking No.: ********************** and 1/11/24 I received confirmation that the bottles were received. I was told that they couldn't refund my original payment method which was a credit card and an echeck would be sent to my email address. I've sent multiple emails and called and spoke to a representative on different occasions. The last update I received 3/5/24 was the same blanket response I've received since December. "We apologize for the delay, we went ahead and sent a follow-up to the billing department regarding this matter and we are still waiting for their response. We appreciate your patience!" I'm simply asking for my full refund since I returned the products. I'm frustrated why this is taking as long as it is.

    Hello-

     

    I would still like for this matter to be resolved and a refund to be issued to my card. I do not have the product since I returned it, which was confirmed and I would like my money back. I consider this to still be an open, unresolved issue.

    I ordered speedy keto+ACV they didnt work they sent more which i never ordered, I never opened them (5 bottles) I returned them. I lost the tracking number. This was done on January 14, 2024. Ive called at least 15 times asking for my refund. They keep giving me the run around saying that a manager will call back they never have. They give me all different kinds of numbers like reference numbers and a number they said the bank needs etc. I finally received a partial refund on January 29 but cannot get the rest of my money. My order #E1C319EBEB I ordered this product off the internet. I have an RMA number #****FE69AF76 but they said they have to wait to hear from the warehouse if my product was returned. There is no way that product is taking that long to get to the warehouse. Please help. Thank you

You can expect to see the refund reflected in your account within 5-10 business days.  This refund aims to rectify any inconvenience you have experienced and provide a fair resolution to the matter.

    The date was may 25, 2023. I was looking at the site speedyketoacv.com. I did not realize I had ordered anything until it popped up on my screen thank you for your purchase. I emailed them immediately that it was an accident. No response. I emailed a couple more times. No response. I checked my bank and ****** had already been taken out. I picked up my husband, told him what had taken place and he called then. The gentleman was not helpful and would not even give us a return address until my husband had gotten very angry with him. He said once the product was returned a reimbursement would be about 2 to 3 weeks. During the next little while the had a sister dying of cancer so I had to go back and forth to *********. At this time I had put it out of my mind. Fully trusting they would get the package. Which they did. And hold up their end of the bargain, they did not. Once I was done in ********* and back home for good I was going through my files when I ran across the papers for the keto website. I looked to see if they had ever sent a reimbursement. There was none. I called and was told it was past the 90 days. So they could not give a refund. But they admitted they got the package on may 28 2023. So then why was it not given back. We held up our end. They did not do the same. So there was a slight disagreement. They agreed to give me 139 dollars. They kept 40 dollars as a restocking fee. Is what I was told. But this was back in may. Those pills had already been sold. Then I was told it was a reprocessing fee. I am just informing the BBB that this is occurring. In hopes that I can get back my other 40 dollars. And in hopes that nobody else has to go through this from this company.

    Hello Morningstar,

    We hope this letter finds you well. We appreciate your communication regarding your concerns about our return and refund policy, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

    We understand that you were not aware of our return and refund policy, and we regret any confusion this may have caused. Please allow us to provide clarification on the matter.

    Our policy stipulates that customers are allowed to return products within 30 days from the order date. However, we do implement a restocking fee as part of our standard procedure. This fee helps us cover the costs associated with the sanitation process for all returned products. It ensures that we maintain the highest standards of quality and safety for both our customers and our team.

    We acknowledge that the restocking fee may be an unexpected aspect of the refund process, and we apologize for any frustration this may have caused. Our commitment to maintaining a clean and safe environment for our products is paramount, and the restocking fee is essential for us to uphold these standards.

    As a one time courtesy, we went ahead and issued an additional refund of $40.49 as the customer requested. Please allow **** business days depending on your bank's processing time for the credit to reflect back to your account.

    Rest assured, the account is canceled and you won't receive any further charges.

    Hello Jan,

    We regret the inconvenience this may have caused you. However, we are unable to proceed with any refund on your account due to the fact that you have already initiated a dispute with your bank. As you have already made a refund request with them, the disputed amount has been or will be provided to you by your bank. The most appropriate course of action would be to communicate directly with your bank to address this issue. Thank you.

    I am rejecting this response because: I ask my bank to not pay the charge to my account which they did, but after Bank had no response from Supplemental Slim my bank paid them for the charge. I tried also to get a response from Supplemental Slim with no response at first, but after several tries I finally got in and talked to person about this problem. All they said was that the payment was processed already, so they had closed the account and would not talk to me anymore. So that is why I contacted the BBB.

    Hello Jan,

    Please accept our deepest apologies for any trouble or inconvenience we have caused you. It's critical for us to keep our customer satisfaction high and make reasonable decisions. As a result, our claim evaluation methods are stringent, and we consider all details when determining the best course of action. However, upon reviewing your account, you have filed a dispute on these charges with your bank. Since you went through the chargeback process, we cannot issue a refund as there is an ongoing investigation of the dispute you have filed. Either way, your bank may give a refund if the claim is validated. Thank you for understanding and your patience.

    I am rejecting this response because: I do not believe that this issue as anything to do with the bank, the bank paid the charge because there was no response from the seller after I told bank not to pay the charge on my account since was incorrect.  I was trying to get a with the seller to resolve this issue, but they were very slow to respond so payment was made without a resolution to the order.

    Hello,

    We do apologize if you went through this process. Unfortunately, we can no longer process any refund on your account since you have already filed a dispute with your bank. Once the customer calls their bank to dispute a charge, they receive a temporary credit while the bank investigates. We are debited for the charge at the same time. At this point, we cannot give the customer a refund because the bank took back the money from us. If we show the customer made a legitimate charge, the customer loses the temporary credit, and we are paid. Even if we win the dispute, we have fees to pay that exceed $75 for every dispute.

    Customer Answer

    I am rejecting this response because: the response from the business is not acceptable because they process the order incorrectly and the charge was originally for $69 because I only ordered 1 bottle. I so not know why this business can get away with this.

    We deeply regret any miscommunication that contributed to this confusion and appreciate your patience. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your refund at this time. You have already filed a dispute with your financial institution or payment provider. Once a dispute is initiated, the matter is taken out of our hands, and the resolution process is managed by the respective financial institutions involved.

    We recommend contacting your financial institution or payment provider to inquire about the status and progress of your dispute. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the refund process and any potential reimbursement.

    1. They did not give their full name on the packaging. 2. They sent the gummies that I ordered for ****** I recieve a charge on my bank account the following month for another ******. I called them and the man I spoke to wanted to give me $50. I told him no, so he offered me $75. The last amount they offered was $90. I told him no to all 3 offers and told him I wanted the full reimbursement. He told me when I received them .to return them and let them know they were returned. They were returned unopened. The post office has it on their records. When I called them I talked to a lady that requested a number the man should have given me. I gave the only number he gave me which was 6F55B02DCE. I was told I could not be reimbursed because I did not have the proper number that was not given to me. The order number for this is B5724A3A78. The date on the packing slip is 4/1/2023.

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
