      i bought native shampoo. coconut and vanilla which comes out white. after a couple of weeks my eyes started burning and my body broke out in hives. i noticed my shampoo was coming out dark pink. my nephew is a *** of analytical chemistry and he said it was red mold. i am very allergic to mold of any color.I contacted the company which offered no resolution or monetary refund. they said it was because they dont use preservatives. i checked the bottle and there were no expiration dates. i bought another bottle and halfway through i got the same reaction. now i have to see an eye *** and i already got a shot of ********. im done with the product but i want them to be help accountable. they should put expiration dates on bottles or at least a warning. ******* ******

      I have been trying to get a refund from Native Company for product sent to me that I had cancelled. They insisted I had a subscription for the product and I did not. I received a return label from Native and sent the product back to them via **** for which I have the receipt and the tracking number that was on August 20, 2024. I have sent numerous messages since they do not have a customer phone number and they dont even respond. It is not even about the money, it is the lack of response and disrespect for a longstanding customer that makes this hard to understand. Please assist me in whatever you have at your disposal.Thank you,*********************** ***** Tracking #**** ******** 5100 0231

      On 8/8/2024 at approximately 11:49am, a subscription charge from Native came through my bank when I unlocked my debit card briefly, for around 30 seconds. The charge was in the amount of $46.64. I immediately went to the contact us area of the website and sent a message to the support team requesting a refund, assuming since I got the jump on it that everything would be fine. Nearly 12 hours later, ***** finally emailed me back explaining that my package was already being shipped out and that I couldnt be refunded.Something that folks who order from Native know is that shipping can take many weeks, sometimes up to a month, just to receive notification that your package has been shipped. I checked the website and it says my package is still unfulfilled. Tracking info says the order is processing, but there is no further information. A shipping label can be generated, but that doesnt mean an order exists for it. After an unproductive email exchange, I was told I could only return the product and file for a refund after they received it back, because they had already printed a shipping label. Highly disappointed. I just want my money back.

      I purchased this company's deodorant at Target, never used any of their products before. It ruined two scrub tops of mine beyond repair. I reached out to them telling them this and they tried to tell me I used the deodorant wrong. As you can see in the email screenshots, the only directions on the deodorant are "Apply to underarms." They asked me for info to process a refund, and then never replied to me despite several further attempts to contact them.

      On March 27, 2024 I contacted Nativecos.com to request three new deodorant products due to faulty operation of the units. The units have 'elevators' that push product up a sleeve for use. The three products I have do not allow for all of the product to be consumed due to faulty hardware on their product. Nativecos requested I send pictures of the faulty product and I did on March 30th. Upon receiving photos, Nativecos determined that beacuse I used the product, no exception or replacement would be issued. My reasoning for contacting Nativecos was due to the fact I couldn't use all of the product. I am still requesting Nativecos to stand behind their products and replace their faulty products.

      Have ordered from Native online for years. However this time theres something fishy going on. Ordered & Native received my credit card payment on Oct 28, 2023. Received emails that delivery was late, damaged, returned. Native sent me 2 different tracking numbers, when I was told they couldnt deliver because they didnt have my address, I went to my post office. They put in the tracking number, & said the product HAD NEVER SHIPPED from the CA facility. Im disputing this with my credit card company, not sure if Ill get my money back, but I want others to be aware that this company could be scamming people now.

      Received your recent letter saying that my case is closed. My credit card company did refund me the disputed amount. Native did contact me offering to fill & send me a free order, but I told them I wasn't interested. It should be noted that they only offered to send me a free order when I left them a poor review on their FB page ! I no longer trust them with online orders, & will no longer order from them.

       

      Their product is a good, but it can be purchased at Target so that's where I will purchase it in the future. Too bad they have such lousy customer service.

       

      Thank you, & Happy Holidays.
