I ordered a multi bottle purchase of 3 bottles of their Vital hair growth product. Their advertisement states if you are not completely satisfied with their product you will receive the full refund. They refunded me 50% of $89.95 purchase. They sent a detailed refund policy which stated because I ordered a buy 2 bottles get one free I only qualify for a 50% refund. No where in the ad states this exception.Initial Complaint

I placed an online order on 1/10/25; received product 1/21/25 and began taking the supplement. Not happy with the product. Per their policy, I requested a full refund. I handled the request in the prescribed way (policy attached as a jpeg) and within the prescribed time frame (60 days is the time limit, it has not been 60 days yet, so clearly I am within the timeframe). I paid (after a discount/taxes and shipping fees) $140.50. I want a full refund. Copies of email exchanges and their policy are attached, as well as a screenshot at my attempt to resolve this via their chat (which is an option they offered for getting a refund - only there is not a live person to talk to and when I asked for a human I got no response).Initial Complaint

On 1/4/25 I ordered 3 bottles of Vital Gut Health from Vital Nutritive and paid $99.95. After using for several weeks, they did not agree with me. I have sent 5 messages requesting a refund per their 60-day money-back guarantee policy. They have not replied to any of my requests, other than to say "they are on it". I don't know what they are on, but definitely not getting back to me. They have made no attempt to answer my e-mails or refund my money. I would like a refund of my $99.95 per their return policy.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Their website prominietly indicates 60-day money back guarantee; however, when I requested a refund, I only got 50%. There advetising is very deceptive. Until they sent me the link when they refunded me 50%, I was completely unaware that I was only getting 50% back. They are not very honest in their advertising. I still feel I'm entitled to 100% money back, as that is what they advertise when ordering.
Sincerely,

Good day,I placed an order with Vital Nutritive on January 2, 2025 order number ******. After about a month of receiving and using the product, I deemed it did not work for me. The company states if not fully satisfied I can return the product within 60 days. I initially reached out to customer service via email on JAN 27 and an automated response came back with message below Thank you for reaching out! Weve received your message and our team is on it ??.You can typically expect a response within 24 hours, but during weekends and holidays, it might take us a little longer.Then January 29th I emailed customer service again with no response as to my FULL refund of $68.79.I am looking for a response from the company so that I can return the product and receive a refund.Business Response

Ordered a 6-month supply from Vital Nutritive. Received a notice from post office it was lost/damaged. went to post office to try and resolve with no luck. Contacted Vital Nutritive via txt such as this. I attempted 3 times and they did not get back to me over the last week. All I want is my money back, the post office will not update the tracking info as lost or damaged, so it will always show as in route.Customer Answer
