I placed an order with Budget Pet care on 8-16-24. The website states that you should receive your order within 7 to 10 days. We are well past that now on 9-6-24. I've tried calling the comp. But had to leave a voice mail. That was on 9-3-24 . No return call yet. The only info I could find was that it shipped out on 8-19-24. I paid the extra $**** for tracking but cannot seem to get any tracking updates. I called again today and was on hold waiting for someone to pick up and then the line just hung up! I tried the chat...spoke with Kevin, all he said was he was sorry there was a problem with shipping it out & to give it another 1 to 2 weeks! After that he just disconnected and wouldn't respond at all! I feel they should get that product out to me asap and provide a partial refund for the long wait and inconvenience of having to go through all this just to get the product I ordered and paid for! I have done the tracking with the # they gave me & it shows it's still in Singapore?Business response

3/30/24 ordered apoquel for my dog. They say it will ship within 24 hours but today is April 11th and still I have not received the medication. Because the dogs in infection is so bad I had to go elsewhere and purchase the apoquel because of their delay. I do not need the product anymore since it's been treated and I would like a refund of the money I paid. I have called a number of times and finally reached some gal that did not want to help me and told me that it had already been sent. This was last week 8 days ago. Order #******* , customer #******. She gave no reason why it's taking so long and as of today it's still not here ** * **** ** **** * ********* **** **** ******** **** ****** ****** *** since I already bought the medication elsewhere due to the delay I no longer need it from there.

Dear Terry,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
As we are not based in the United States, our product packaging does not look like the product sold in the USA. This makes our pricing competitive and we are happy to pass on these discounts to our customers.
Despite the difference in packaging, we would like to assure you that all our products are genuine and are official versions manufactured by the same manufacturer who makes the equivalent product for the USA market.
Since we provide free shipping on all our orders, our shipping team inserts extra doses in the same box and ship to our customers to save shipping cost.
However, we have arranged a prepaid envelope to return the order. Please allow 5-7 working days for the delivery of the postage paid envelope.
Also, we have refunded the amount for the order #******* placed on 11/01/2023. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to show up in your account.
Kindly notify us once you return the order with the envelope.Initial Complaint
