      On March 22, I placed an order with Wellknee for a single knee sleeve. My expectation was to be charged only for the item ordered. However, I was unexpectedly charged an additional $44.05 for additional product, which was not authorized.I immediately contacted Wellknee customer service upon noticing this charge, in hopes of stopping the order or correcting the issue. Unfortunately, their response was significantly delayed, and they claimed they could not halt the shipment in time due to that delaysomething that could have been avoided had they responded promptly.After receiving the product, I reached out again to request return instructions, as the extra charge was never approved. Despite multiple follow-ups, Wellknee has refused to provide return instructions and has since become completely non-responsive.This experience has been highly frustrating and feels deliberately evasive. I am requesting a full refund of the $44.05 and return instructions for the product I did not intend to purchase in the first place. Their lack of transparency and communication is unacceptable.Desired Resolution:Full refund of the unauthorized $44.05 charge Return instructions for the product received Assurance of improved customer service response moving forward

      Dear *******,

      Thank you for your patience. We have reviewed your case and see that we will not be able to proceed with your refund because a chargeback case has been initiated from your side.

      Unfortunately, it is impossible to issue a refund when a dispute is in progress. In this case, there are 2 options available:

      If you can lift the chargeback with your payment provider, we can proceed with the refund request from our side.
      If lifting the chargeback is not possible, please note that the outcome will be decided by your payment provider, not by us as the merchant.

      Additionally, please be aware that the chargeback resolution process might take up to 30 days and once the payment provider makes the decision, we will not be able to proceed otherwise.


      Please let us know how youd like to proceed and if theres anything else, we're here to help in any way we can, you can reach out to us at ***************************************************************

      Complaint: 23286839

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The payment does not have a chargeback in progress. 

      This appears to be more delay tactics on the part of the business.  First it was a delay in responding to the initial inquiry when additionally quantities were fraudulently added to the order and the mistake could have been corrected, then it was a repeated delay in providing the necessary information to return the unordered product, now it is stating a chargeback is in process when there is no chargeback in process.  This merchant clearly has a history of abusive practices towards consumers and has tried to manipulate this situation at every turn.   

      Please refund the over-billed amount and provide return instructions for the product that was never ordered; returns that will be made at the cost of the company.  I will not be paying for the returning of product I did not order.  


      Sincerely,

      The website for Wellnee deceptively forced me to purchase products that I did not want and spent way more than I wanted to. They automatically charged me way more than the cost of one knee brace I ordered.. I tried to cancel the order immediately by email and calling and even submitting a request # ******* to cancel my order and complete refund $123.60 on their website, but to no avail. Everytime I called the recording says no agent available, the call is disconnected. Then they sent me a tracking number ZP02015837901. I continued to attempt to reach out to them to cancel my order but no response. The next day I received an email from **** (Wellnee team) said the product was already shipped and they could not cancel the order. I am wasting a tremendous amount of time, trying to deal with their fraudulent sales practices, and I recommend that no one does business with this company. I did not authorize this order and I'm requesting a full refund $123.60 and I want them to remove my credit card information from their site. I was emailed two Order Confirmation numbers #******* and ************* and tracking number ZP02015837901

      On April 26, I order a knee brace from them but nothing else. When I checked my checking account the bill was $70, and not about $30, since all I wanted was the knee brace. I immediately cancelled the order but when I checked again on Sunday April 27, and Monday April 28, it still was going to be cancelled. Early this morning, I got an email that, the order has already been processed and had been shipped. I noticed when checking others complaints they seem to do that. Please help me get what they charged me back. Thank you. K. Jasmagy

      On 4/27/25 I orderd 2 Pain Relief Knee Sleeves from the Wellnee website. The special offer price was $42.85 + shipping $4.95 = Total $47.80. Due to a deliberately confusing and complicated extra offer menu, which is incessant in its attempt to make you buy another product and with the "not interested" tab in small feint lettering, I navigated my way to checkout and once the order was confirmed - I saw that an order for Pain Relief Patches THAT I DIDN'T ORDER was added to my order at an extra cost of $14.95 bringing the total to $67.88. I sent an email to their customer service complaining about the extra product and asked for them to remove the item before it was shipped. It said that they couldn't change the order if my request to remove the item was over 12 from placing the original order. I sent the email 30 minutes after ordering. I then received an email saying that they couldn'tchamge the order as it was already shipped. I called their customer service # this morning as soon as they opened and, once geting through to the right ****** was taken on a goose chase to speak to a representative that I was then told was NOT available and to call back later. I called back 3 times and got the same run around. On looking at Wellnee on BBB, I see that many other people have had similar issues. They make it very difficult to create a return and want you to pay for shipping. Why should I pay for the shipping for something i didn't order. They are obviously duplicitous and coniving in their business practice. I want my money back for everything and I don't want to pay for the shipping

      Better Business Bureau:
      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
      Why you feel doing business the way you do is good for your company is a mystery to me. Once I got into BBB, I saw MANY complaints to Wellnee re the same issue I experienced and your form response and money returned. That cannot be good business practice or good for your companys profit. You do yourself such disservice in operating in such a duplicitous and devious way. On the other hand you are probably making a fortune from the people who dont notice or check the extra charges. Shame on you.

      Sincerely, 

      ******* *******
