      Only gave this service a chance because my birth control was out of stock and unable to be ordered from my local pharmacies. I wasted $18 on a consultation fee and waited over a week just to be told they werent in network with my insurance and I could pay $50 out of pocket (birth control is completely covered w my insurance so this would just be more of a waste of money) or they could send the prescription to my pharmacy which defeats the whole purpose since again, the pharmacies in my areas do not have it in stock and cannot order it either hence why I needed it SHIPPED. I looked at my profile and saw that they cancelled my order too, at 6AM today. So after wasting $18, waiting forever to hear anything back, and missing multiple days of my pills causing bleeding and severe cramping I decided to call the Nurx customer service line. ****** was my representative and immediately caught an attitude when I requested a refund (someone needs to retrain her, getting immediately annoyed with customers as a customer service representative means you are not good at your job). She refused to hear me out, did not understand my frustrations, and now Im down $18 with no birth control, my hormones are out of whack now, and I feel dumb for trusting this company without reading their reviews first. A better business model would be to ask for insurance first BEFORE your customers waste their money and wait with false hope for a week only to be told you wont receive the service you paid for. Please refund my $18.

      On 3/26/24, I began a subscription/membership with NURX regarding mental health prescription medication. The terms of the subscription were that I would pay $55.00 per month for the medication management subscription. I would then also pay my copay for the meds. I continued my subscription until 6/2/24 when I reached out to cancel my membership as I could no longer afford it. I spoke with ******************** who confirmed my cancellation and assured me that my account would be deactivated, and I would no longer be charged. I was then contacted by a doctor who offered to send in a courtesy prescription. I confirmed that this would not result in my being charged for the subscription any longer and I was assured that I would not. On 6/26/24, they attempted to collect their fees for membership but it over drafted my credit card. I spoke with the team and was told that they did not actually cancel my membership, despite being assured multiple times that they had. I would also like to point out that the agreed upon price was $55.00 and without any notice I was continually charged $69.

      Several months ago I thought I might need some medication for a slight herpes outbreak. I bought Valcovir for an outbreak. I then had no symptoms so I stopped automatic prescription fills and mail delivery. I also received a new credit card. Without my authorization my new credit card was somehow charged and a new order was sent out to me against my will. I've asked repeatedly to close account and stop but Im still being charged.

      I was using this service to get birth control so I would not have to go to my gynecologist. They prescribed me a birth control with the name of junel fe. I have been taking it for about 4 months now. I have been having heart problems and serious gastrointestinal problems as well. I have mitral valve prolapse which is a heart condition. This birth control can increase risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart disease. This birth control was also recalled last year. This service knows I have this heart condition, and still continued to prescribe this horrible birth control. I now have to go see my cardiologist, and have lost over 20lbs from not being able to eat. I feel like this is major negligence on their part.

      Good morning, I purchased Birth control back on May 15th, 2024 with the company Nurx/Thirtymadison. When I used it I had a negative experience so I threw the pack away without finishing them. I went on the website to try and cancel the subscription service but it wasnt very clear at all on how to discontinue the service, but I noticed that the website said you have no orders coming thinking im in the clear because I just thought that you had to order when you need a new prescription. July 12,2024, I see a new charge to my debit card and I go on the website to see if I could find another way to cancel again. I emailed, messaged, and used the chat but to no avail. I had to research more and in fine print on automated letter it mentions that the company does an automatic prescription. Its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to opt out of it and does not give you that option prior to purchase nor is it stated clearly for the consumer to understand prior. I do NOT want the current prescription that the company sent out which is in the process of being shipped. They have been emailed already about this. I would very much appreciate a refund and they can keep the birth control that they sent out. I added pictures to indicated there is no way to edit my account and the letter that automatically puts you into an automated refill without even having a chance to opt or being offered an option to.

      Nurx has charged me an initial 30$ service fee along with double charging me for medication never sent to me that totals about 200$ altogether. They refuse to respond or send medication or reimburse the monies owed me for no services received. They are a complete scam and rip off.

      I had a consultation and received a prescription for tretinoin. I have since changed my skin care routine and no longer need this product, however the set up of Nurx user interface seems to intentionally make it very difficult to cancel a subscription. The manage subscription link does not actually allow you to change any of your information or cancel your subscription. Their information page on cancelations instructs the user to copy and paste text into their chat in order to cancel. I did this and am still waiting for a response after 15 minutes. Why would their cancelation process require the customer to contact them? There process is unethical as it traps the customer with no way to cancel the subscription. Also, in the app, there are no receipts available for me to view in the receipts section even though I am being charged.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
