Non-Delivery, No Refund, and Dismissive Customer Service
2/5 Update: After engaging publicly on Facebook, the business blocked me instead of resolving the issue.
I am posting this review to document my experience accurately, factually, and with specifics, because this business’s customer service and reputation management are extremely poor when something goes wrong.
Order details:
Order placed: January 23
Total amount: $31.35
Today’s date: February 3
Time spent going back and forth with customer service: nearly 8 hours
Product received: None
Refund received: None
This is not a large order. We are not talking about hundreds or thousands of dollars, yet this situation was unnecessarily dragged out and escalated entirely by the business.
Shipping & tracking facts:
The package stalled on January 29 and has shown the same USPS message since then:
“In transit to next facility, arriving on time”
At the same time, USPS also states:
“Was expected yesterday” (February 2)
The tracking map places the package around Dulles, VA, where it appears to have been since January 27. I live in Florida. We are not geographically close. Based on all available tracking information, the package is clearly lost or severely misrouted.
What the business refused to do
Before ever asking for a refund, I asked for a replacement to be sent overnight so the issue could be resolved immediately. That request was refused.
I was told:
“We are a small business and would have to reship hundreds of orders… we cannot afford to overnight new shipments.”
I was also told:
“This will be handled the way we are handling it.”
And:
“You can choose to no longer do business with us.”
Rather than offering a proactive solution, I was repeatedly told they were “waiting on USPS,” with no ETA and no defined point at which the package would be considered lost.
The refund issue:
When I asked for a refund due to non-delivery, I was told a refund would only be issued once the package was returned to them.
This makes no sense.
How do you return a package that is lost?
I was instructed to:
Leave notes for the USPS carrier
Try to refuse delivery (despite not being present at delivery)
Attach notes to the box if it ever shows up
The burden was placed entirely on me, even though I never received the product.
Tone and conduct:
Throughout the exchange, I was repeatedly reminded that:
They are a small business and “can’t afford” to resolve issues
Hundreds or “thousands” of other packages were delayed
“Most customers are being understanding and cutting us slack”
As if customer service is determined by how quiet other customers are.
Later, the tone shifted again, this time into emotional manipulation, reframing the issue as emotional rather than factual:
“That’s too bad… we have an effective product that could really bring relief to your pup… it’s so terrible to watch our precious pups suffer…”
This was inappropriate and irrelevant.
The issue was simple:
I paid for a product. I did not receive it.
A replacement was refused.
A refund was refused unless a lost package somehow returned.
How the conversation ended:
After clearly and calmly stating that I was requesting a refund only and disengaging from further discussion, customer service ended the conversation with the following message:
“Excuse me for trying to understand… have a happy life and I hope you can get through this.”
That response speaks for itself.
Summary (facts only)
• Order placed January 23
• No product received by February 3
• Tracking stalled since January 29
• Package appears lost in another state
• Replacement requested and refused
• Refund requested and conditioned on returning a lost package
• Told they “can’t afford” to help
• Told to “choose to no longer do business”
• Compared to “other customers who are understanding”
• Subjected to dismissive, condescending, and emotionally manipulative responses
• Conversation ended with sarcasm instead of resolution
For $31.35, this business chose to argue, deflect responsibility, guilt the customer, and wait on a third party instead of doing the right thing; issuing a refund or replacement and handling their USPS claim internally.
The product itself may work, I’ll never know. What I do know is that when shipping goes wrong, this business prioritizes policy defense and tone-policing over customer trust.
If you’re considering ordering from this company, understand this clearly:
If your package is delayed or lost, you may be left waiting indefinitely, told they’re a small business that “can’t afford” to help, and denied a refund unless you return a package that never arrived.
I will not be doing business with them again and I strongly encourage you to look for an alternative product /company or make it yourself at home; the ingredients seem simple and another review above said she made it for less and works great!
