      I used this site to get medication delivered discreetly. I attempted to inform them of an address change before they sent my medication however die to their lengthy response times they mailed it anyways, potentially exposing my medical information to somebody else. To add insult to injury, a month went by since they shipped the medication and the package never arrived. It did not arrive to the old address or to the new address as evidenced by the tracking number they provided. When brought to their attention they still refuse to refund me or issue a new package. I now have to dispute with my bank which is stupid. Apparently that little $30 was worth a chargeback and the loss of the future recurring charges from me. I warn all to not use this service as their customer service is horrendous and they are not to be trusted with your personal information.

      6/26/24 I subscribed to Nurx as an telemedicine client for treatment of Melasma. They required photographs of the area that was affected. $40 for a provider to look at the photos and recommend a treatment plan, along with 1 year of online consultation. They responded with declining to help me and and recommended I go see a dermatologist in person. I paid money and received no help. This business is a scam.

      I reached out to Nurx to establish an online dermatology consultation and prescription service. The business marketing is centered around convenience however establishing services has been very inconvenient. The online system has glitches and the links to upload insurance/payment/health photos were not functional. When reaching out to customer service over the phone, no assistance was provided. New links were sent with the same issue but the representatives were quick to hang up and never stayed on the phone long enough for me to attempt the new link or follow up with the same person. After I would call back, the new representatives provide no additional assistance. One representative advised me to either get my laptop checked out by IT or keep trying again daily. Customers should be cautioned over misrepresented "convenience" with this tele-health company. Its lack of convenience would have me recommend the in-person physician experience even with long waiting room times.

      This company refuses to supply me with a receipt for payments. They were supposed to bill my insurance for birth control prescription but charged my credit card instead. My card has been charged multiple times but when I log in to my account it shows that I have no receipts available. My requests for receipts have been ignored. I have serious doubts about the legitimacy of this company.

      This company apparently does not accept my insurance and still charged my credit card. This was on 06/19/2024. They have all my personal information, including my drivers license, insurance information and credit card number, with no way to remove it. I absolutely do not want their services and I have never received services from this business.

      I created a Nurx account because I wanted to try a perscription anti-ageing product. After a very brief consultation with a provider, I was charged $93 for a product I did not agree to buy. I was not given the opportunity to cancel my order before it was shipped, even though I responded inside 2 hours. Further, I cannot remove my credit card from the website or cancel my account. I contacted customer support immediately and was told there was nothing they could do to cancel my order.

      The company continued charging me after i cancelled my subscription and deleted my card information from the website. They issued a refund but they over-drafted my card so now i have to pay a fee. Im really concerned that they were able to charge a card i had removed from their records meaning they still had that information on file somewhere.

      I had a nurx telehealth consult out of network and received surprise charges. Nurx can prescribe as many medications as they wish based on the consult and there is no transparency in advance regarding the cost of each medication. There is no option to refuse treatment if you cannot afford it, as all recommended medications are automatically charged to the patient card, without giving patient the option to refuse. I requested to refuse treatment and cancel the order but nurx rep advised it had already been shipped so there is no option to receive a refund
