On May 24, I placed an order with Laura Geller on a 65% promotion they had. They claim they sent the product and even gave me a tracking number. On June 20, 2025 they charged my credit card for the product that I had not received. I tried finding a phone number for their ***************** ******************************************* **************** does not have a phone number. They do all their correspondence via email which sometimes takes days for them to respond. I let them know that I did not receive the product that I had ordered and that they had charged me for the products not received. They claim there was a problem with the shipping and they will resend out the products and claim once again they shipped them out giving me a second tracking number. In the meantime, I told them I wanted a refund for the product that I hadnt received yet. Here it is over two weeks since they charged me for a product I never received, but ordered over a month and a half ago and they still refuse to refund me the money and I still have never received the products. On June ****************************************************************************************************************************** the product and it has been now over 45 days!!!! Every day I get some song and dance about the product being shipped and Im supposedly going to receive them all the while I have requested on a daily basis to have my money returned to me until said product is actually received. At this point I no longer want their product as I don't want to do business with a company that has zero integrity and a ridiculous platform in that you cannot speak to one person and they cant seem to use a reputable shipping company. I have packages sent to the address I gave to Laura Geller all the time its only Laura Geller that has an issue with delivery. This is highway robbery. This has gone on for way to long!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and when clicking on their tracking number it does not show that the package was delivered to my Escalon address, the place where all my packages are delivered without any issues. The tracking number says it was taken to a town called Fremont! This matter went nowhere until I had to get my credit card company involved which is exactly what Laura Gellar told me in a taunting way what I had to do it because they WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING to resolve their mistake. I am utterly and completely dissatisfied with this company and their hideous conduct of how they do their business. They hold no standards of integrity or ethics. I am glad that my credit card company has resolved this nightmare of 3 months. Oh by the way because of Laura Gellars lack of integrity this claim cost me 19.99% in interest for 3 months so in reality Laura still owes me!!!!!

I ordered this product on June 8 2025 and have not received it yet. It has been almost 5 weeks and I have had no notification that it is delayed. I am requesting a full refund as I don't think I will receive this product. I have contacted the company and they said they could not find my product, they do have my payment. They have stated that the product was re-mailed to me but I have not received it. I believe I am out of my money and I was also charged $7.97 for taxes...which I believe it very high. ***************** on your card statement. $34.55 Ship to ***** ********** *************************************************************************************************************************************** Transaction ID ***************** Seller info *********************** *************** ************************* Invoice ID **************** Order summary ??Last Day Buy 1 Get 3 Packs??Encounter a delicate makeup look and unlock the Baked Starter Kit (3PC)?? - Light / F $19.99 Shipping $5.99 Tax $7.97 Insurance $0.60 Total $34.55****************Customer Answer

Made a one-time purchase on 4/13/2025 since there was a sale. I have since been charged $16.95/mo for something I did not sign up for. I see their response to others with the same issue is that we accidentally opted in for a subscription. No. There was no opt-in for any type of subscription. Ive never even used this makeup. Just wanted to try it. Why in the world would I subscribe to anything? My order confirmation says nothing about a subscription service. It is my opinion, this subscription is automatically added to all orders. Theres no telling how many people dont even realize they are being charged for it. I have a emailed requesting a refund and cancellation. Awaiting response.Will not do business here ever again.Business Response

On or about June 1st, I made an online purchase for some make up through this companys trynow program-which says try it for 14 days, if it doesnt work out, return it for a refund.The order totaled about $80 and I fully intended to keep it, but apparently I am allergic to something their product because before lunch time on the day I tried it, my face and neck were broken out in large red helps and they burned/itched badly. I did take a picture just in case they wanted proof All I want is to send the product back to keep from wasting my money, but I have reached out to the company several times and all I get is silence, other than an automated message saying they will get in touch within 48 hours. That hasnt happened. Theres no phone number to call at all, and their return link only offers and exchange. Obviously, I dont want anything from this company on my skin-so I just want Return authorization. I dont appreciate their way of doing business AT ALL.Business Response
