On June 28th, 2024, after months of targeted social media ads promising to solve all of my peri-menopausal issues, I placed an order with Musely for their Estrogen Boost cream. I answered a few questions and was "prescribed" a "uniquely compounded formula" which I received on July 6th. Immediately, there was concern as the pump on this $83.00 bottle of cream was defective, making it impossible to gauge how much of the product I was using. I reached out to the company via the app and a bot informed me that they could not help me with this issue. I then logged on to my "e-nurse check-in" where I again voiced my problem and was told that they could not help me. From there I missed several of these required check-ins despite requesting- and never receiving- alerts/reminders. I was having several troublesome side effects, which I also reported on these "check-ins" and was told that they could not help me. The company posts a 60-day guarantee but requires that you use the product for the full 60 days. I am unable to do this safely as I cannot measure the prescribed "two pumps" with the inconsistent bursts that dispense. I have gone back and forth with this company and a bot named "******" answers with stock responses and refuses to connect me with an actual human who can help. There is no accountability with these companies who pray on people's struggles. I would have given the product 60 days had I had the ability to do so, but when I have no way of guessing whether I am using too much or too little, when the company refuses to stand by their product or support their "patients", and when I am having side effects that could be harmful with no recourse, I wish to be refunded. I also feel STRONGLY that these scam companies must be stopped in general. It is unsafe to promote powerful hormones on the internet in the absence of true medical professionals when there is no one to whom to turn when things are wrong (like defective pumps!).Business response

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you've experienced, especially regarding the defective pump and the side effects you encountered.

We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with side effects, especially when you're unable to accurately measure your dosage due to a defective pump.

Regarding the 60-Day Result Guarantee, we want to clarify that while we encourage our patients to use the treatment for the full 60 days to see optimal results, it has never been communicated to suggest that you must continue using the product for the full duration if it poses any safety concerns or adverse effects.

I signed up for skincare products to bleach my skin. I used the products twice and received really bad ***** on my skin from the product, so I discontinued use and discarded the product. I could not cancel my subscription, I had to request that the refill be extended. I got an email saying that I was charged $85 and only at that time I was directed to cancel my subscription. I canceled my subscription and refused delivery of the order, so I never touched the packaged product and it was sent back to the manufacturer. I emailed and requested a refund. I was refused a refund and was told that I can only receive a credit for more skin products that could damaged my skins. Now they are asking me to put the product back on my skin to damage it so that I can take photos and they can consider a refund. Its not acceptable, I dont have the product and it was never received by me, I want my money back. *** reversed the charge with my bank but ****** is refusing to refund my money for a product I never received. They set it up to where you cant cancel until its too late and then wont refund your money even if your order was refused and never received.Business response

I bought a Musely product. Unfortunately, their E-Nurse function in their app didn't work about half the time. I put in tickets complaining about it. I saw no results from the Musely skin care product. I let Musely know after 50 days that I wanted the 60 day money back guarantee. They told me I was ineligible due to not having 100% compliance with the E-Nurse function... despite the fact I attempted to and put in multiple tickets about it not working.Business response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your concerns and allowing us the opportunity to provide clarification and our continued support. I sincerely apologize for any issues or inconvenience you have experienced and I can certainly understand your frustration. After reviewing your patient profile as well as your correspondence with our Customer Support Team, I see that you have not seen your desired results and there has been a misunderstanding regarding the terms and conditions of The 60-Day Result Guarantee to qualify you for a refund.
We highly prioritize transparency with all patients, so we make our refund and return policies clear throughout treatment. The terms for the 60-Day Result Guarantee are detailed during The Online Doctor ***** process and again at checkout to make this information appropriately accessible. We completely respect your informed consent as a patient, so we require that each patient consent to the eNurse software at checkout to be able to place their order(s). Please see what was gone over and consented to at the bottom of this email for reference and verification.
However, although you do not qualify for The 60-Day Result Guarantee, we have issued a full medication cost refund for your prescription order on 6/26, as a professional courtesy and this was communicated via email on this same date. Please allow 3-7 business days for the funds to be reflected in your account, depending on your bank. Please note that refund times are dictated by the card issuers and are outside of our control.
Kindly note that not all eNurse ********* are required to be completed to be eligible for a refund. The eNurse software is important for tracking treatment and determining side effects. This is so that we have consistent records of your continued use and the potential ineffectiveness of the treatment, and we must standardize this across patients to make qualification for the guarantee fair.
We sincerely value you as a patient and we are pleased that we were able to receive confirmation that you are satisfied with the resolution provided via email. Thank you again for your time, patience, and consideration and we look forward to having the opportunity to assist you further!Customer response

On July 4, 2024, I received an Instagram ad for a 30% off sale at this business and was convinced to place an order based on that. I typed in the code (SUMMER30) with my order and hit "apply." The purchase was immediately sent through, with no opportunity to review, without any discount applied. I immediately, within minutes, wrote to their customer service explaining what had happened and that I wished to cancel this order if they would not retroactively apply the code. I made this request multiple times, carefully explaining what had happened. Every time I got the same answer, that they would not apply the discount but would give me "points" toward a future discount. As I have no desire to have anything to do with this company in the future, I stated that I did not want a future discount and wanted the discount I applied at the time of my order. Maybe their online programming is buggy, but I think quite possibly I was scammed and the site is designed to not take the code and finalize the order without allowing the customer to review it first. Since this is a clear error on their side, I can't believe they won't ***** the promised discount retroactively. I requested to speak with a manager and was refused.Business response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to provide clarification! I sincerely apologize for any further issues, inconvenience, and/or misunderstandings and thank you so much for your patience. Kindly note and as explained through our emailed correspondence, neither our payment system processor or our backend operating systems have the capability of retroactively applying discounts or partial refunds to orders that have been placed and processed. This is not a matter of policy; We are simply and unfortunately physically and technically unable retroactively issue discounts or partial refunds once the patient has authorized payment at checkout. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
However, I am pleased to inform you that Musely does offer our 60-Day Result Guarantee that will make you eligible for a full medication cost refund on or after 60 days of treatment with completion of eNurse Check-Ups! For more information, please review this article from our website's *********** that was emailed to you on 7/15. Additionally and as a professional courtesy, we have issued you the 30% off of the medication cost in Rewards to help cover the cost of a future refill, new medication, and/or Marketplace order. To browse our Marketplace, please visit Musely.com/shop!
To qualify for the guarantee, please ensure to use the medication properly and complete your scheduled eNurse ********** We sincerely value you as a patient and we want to ensure that we have effectively addressed your questions and concerns. For this reason, we have reached out to you via email on 7/15 and again on 7/17 to communicate this information. Unfortunately, we have not yet heard back from you.

Musely shows my order shipped 6/16/24. I have yet to receive my order, even though **** showed it delivered 6/24/24. I tried to go through Musely customer support with unsatisfactory results. Musely is offering me reward points to use in future Musely products. I dont want to utilize Muselys service any longer, as they cant get their products to me. Musely offered a reshipment of the product. I am not interested in a new shipment, as I have been out of this prescription for 3 weeks now due to my shipment never being received. I am not interested in using a product that I cant use as directed by the Musely physician because Musely cant get it to me. It is a waste of money to use prescriptions not as directed with long breaks in between, as it lessens the effectiveness of the treatment. The only satisfactory result to this complaint is a full refund for the product I never received.Business response

We sincerely apologize for the delivery delay and for any inconvenience that you have experienced and thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! As clearly detailed on our website, your medication is freshly compounded and shipped from our pharmacy. As a result and due to The Consumer Protection Federal Law, we are typically prohibited from issuing refunds for prescriptions due to **** delivery issues.
However, and because you are no longer satisfied with your treatment or our services, we have issued a full medication cost refund for your last refill as a courtesy. We have also provided this refund confirmation via email and confirmed that this resolution was satisfactory. Should you need anything else, we kindly ask and encourage you to follow back up with us!

05/26/24, 20:28:27 I paid for and purchased spot cream from musely. 5/30/24 I received notification that item item has shipped with the following tracking number **************************. I checked the tracking and as of June 12, 2024 the **** is still awaiting my item. I submitted 3 tickets with zero response. It wasnt until I mentioned contacting the BBB did I receive an email back on June 11, 2024 offering me 15% off my next item. Im not purchasing anything from this company again so they can take their measly 15% and shove it.. I spent a large amount of money with this company.. 15% off is an insult compared to the money ive been scammed out of. However I replied back and accepted the 15% off because I simply wanted to know where my item is. I said that this still doesn't tell me why my shipped item that was shipped over two weeks ago is still not even in he possession of the ****. Today I get a reply back that the pharmacy is experiencing a delay? So the company LITERALLLY LIED about my item shipping? How absurd is that? I own a business and would NEVER LIE and say an item shipped if it didnt. This is so unprofessional. I was so excited to try this cream and planned on buying the anti aging cream too. Im so heartbroken. I for once did something for myself to hopefully boost my confidence to get scammed. I am so sad, and embarrassed.Business response

I cancelled my order due to the new promo code and my initial order not yet being fulfilled. I was given a refund yet unable to process my new order as it stated it was a refill but it was not as I have never received any of the products.I contacted the number, email on file and Instagram. The response was that I can not use a promo code as I am not a new customer but I am. I also have no resolution on the webpage as it still shows as a refill vs an initial new order to be placed again. The customer service interactions have been 13 emails from me going back and forth and 3 emails NOT addressing the biggest issue and thats me not being able to place the order with or without a promo code. Again NO orders have been shipped or in process so changing the initial order should not be so hard especially since it states in the terms that this is the ONLY time you are allowed to make changes (when the order hasnt been shipped).Business response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and we sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience regarding your prescription order(s). To clarify, The *XX is a one-time treatment that can only be filled every six months/twice yearly (unless otherwise approved by your dermatologist). With that being said, you are certainly not being penalized or missing any refills for canceling your initial order.
As explained via email, we have scheduled The *XX to be processed for shipment at our pharmacy today, on 5/29. Additionally and as a professional courtesy, we have issued you The *XX's entire medication cost in Rewards and "opted you in" to use them to completely cover the cost of this medication for you! We have also confirmed that this medication was processed today completely free of charge to process for shipment at the pharmacy.
We sincerely value you as a patient and we want to ensure that we have effectively addressed your questions and concerns. Should you need anything else at all, please do not hesitate to follow up with Musely Support!??* Due to HIPAA Federal Law, we are prohibited from sharing or disclosing treatment-related/medical information on any third party platforms.

On April 8th 2024, I saw advertised on Musely's website a prescription hair loss product that included a medication I have been wanting to try for my alopecia, Dutasteride. I completed their medical questionnaire, and placed the order. The order then went into review by one of their "doctors'. The order was shipped prior to my review/approval. What was shipped did NOT include the advertised Dutasteride. I messaged the doctor specifically requesting Dutasteride on the 8th and did not hear back until the 9th. He said they don't typically recommend that product for women my age. I responded on the 9th and said I'm aware of the risks but would like to try it, and asked if he could please switch the formula. I didn't hear back for days and he said he would change the formula. In that time, I attempted to call the company, reach out to customer service via chat and email, and could not get in touch with anyone for days. They charged me for and shipped a product I did not accept and didn't get back to my request for the corrected product in a timely manner. Their website did not allow me to cancel the order before it shipped. Their customer service team is not available by phone or online chat. They have stolen money from me and sent me a product I will not use and want to send back. None of the questions in my emails were addressed.Business response
