I placed an order for the Complete Skin Replenishment bundle on 30Janaury. On the 31Jan I received an email that Order#****** had finished processing. On 1Feb I received an email the order had shipped with DHL with a tracking number. The website states that an international shipment typically takes 10-15days to be received. On the 19Feb I sent an email to Purity Woods as I still had not received the shipment, the last update on the tracking info was 8Feb (still showing shipment in ***) and DHL said I had to contact the merchant. I did not receive a reply. I sent another email 22Feb, no response. I used the contact us on their website, again nothing. I finally received a reply 26Feb stating the order had shipped and gave me the tracking number so I could follow the shipment and if I had any further questions they are happy to help. There was no effort on their end to contact DHL to find out why this shipment has not been received. As of today, the tracking has not been updated since 8Feb. At this point, with the poor customer service offered and not receiving the product I would like a full refund.Business response

On 11/24/2023 I bought a bottle of their Age-Defying Eye Cream. I used it daily until 1/20/2024. The product did not work for me. I want to return it and get a refund. I tried for five days to contact the company by phone, email, the Contact form on their website, their ******** page, and in ******** Messenger. I received no reply.

Hi *****,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having problems getting in touch with us. I see that you contacted us on Sunday to ask for a refund. We try to respond within 24 hours to all customer inquiries, but it may be longer over the weekends. I see our customer service director sent you an email message on Tuesday with instructions on how to return your product to get a refund. Sometimes emails can get caught in spam - if you wouldn't mind checking your spam folder just to make sure it's not there I would appreciate it. I have gone ahead and refunded the amount of your purchase to PayPal. Also, please do note our official ******** page is: ******************************************************* - would you mind telling me where you found the ******** link that is no longer working - I would like to correct that link. You can also find us in Instagram here: ************************************************* and on Pinterest here: *************************************************.
If you should have any more concerns, questions, or just want to talk to us please contact us at ******************************************.

I ordered the product on 4/29/23 and I emailed them immediately and asked them to not send me the product. I did not like that when you oder there product they offer up-sells for very discounted prices. I received an email stating "Our business hours are Monday-Friday, from 9 am - 5 pm EST. If you placed your request outside of business hours, on the weekend, or on a holiday, we appreciate your patience! We will get back to you as soon as possible.Shipping Notice: Most US orders take 5-7 business days and international orders between 7- 14 days (this does not include weekends or holidays) to be delivered; however it can also take carriers a few business days to register your shipment status, which may delay your tracking results. We appreciate your patience."After I emailed them on Saturday canceling my order I received an email that my product has shipped on a Sunday at 6:14 PM. Here is the email:Your Purity Woods order has shipped!External Inbox ****************************************** Apr 30, 2023, 6:14?PM (2 days ago)The email stated that it would ship in 5-7 business days and they shipped on a Sunday evening at 6:14. I don't believe them that they shipped the product on a Sunday when they stated 5-7 business days to ship.I had to go to my bank and cancel my credit card and now I have to change all of my accounts with the new information. Buyer beware as this company only cares about making money, and I am receiving emails from them marketing there products that I don't want and I asked them to remove me from there marketing email list.This company is dishonest and all I want is my money back. I have already have a dispute with my bank and they have all the emails that I received from them and what I have emailed them.Also the link with the tracking number has an error see screen shots.Buyer Beware!Business response

We are very sorry to hear about your experience on our website. Unfortunately, as we do not have customer support over the weekend, we could not immediately cancel your order. Our distributor has an automated system that pulls orders over the weekend to prepare them for shipping on Monday - thus the notification at 6:14pm on Sunday that the package had begun the shipment process.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our email communications. We value your privacy and respect your preferences. We have checked our records and found that you unsubscribed from our email list on May 1st, 2023. Since that time, our records show that only transactional emails have been sent to you. You should not receive any more non-transactional emails from us.
We have issued you a full refund for your purchase.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. We take these types of issues very seroiusly and do appreciate you letting us know about your experience - rest assured we will try to do better.
Please feel free to contact customer service at ****************************************** to let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.Customer response

On Aug. 25, 2021 I ordered their Age Defying Cream for $64.00 and Pur Radiance for $39.00. It took about three weeks or more to receive these items. These products make my face feel like I'm burning. I called the company on Sept. 19th to arrange a return. They did not call me back so on Sept. 21 I called my credit card company to dispute the charge. Today is Sept. 28 and I have still not heard from the company. These products are totally unuseable and the company is totally unreliable.Business response

Hello ******,
******* here with Purity Woods! I am sorry to hear this and would love to rectify this for you.
I have investigated our CRM system and do show a correspondent sent via email on 9/4/21 to the email address that was provided during checkout. Our Customer Experience Team Member provided the details of your order in that email. Unfortunately, at times emails may end ** in the Spam/Junk folders.
I do apologize for any miscommunication and appreciate your understanding.
As consolation for your frustrations, I have refunded your order with no need to return the items. Please accept this as a token of our gratitude for your patience.
Should you have any questions, contact me directly via email at *****************************************
Thank you for allowing us to make this right.
