      Dear Sirs: On July 31st, 2024, I requested a refund via email to Nugenix for a charge of $76.98. This return with Nugenix went very smoothly, with them giving me an RMA number for the return and me providing them with the return tracking number. On July 31st, I had also cancelled my subscription for the Testosterone supplement. The refund Nugenix issued was for the charge of $76.98 made to my account on July 3rd, 2024. It was posted back to my account on August 6th, 2024. The problem is that while waiting for the refund, I received another shipment of the supplement which should have been cancelled. The charge of $76.98 was made on my account on August 2nd, 2024 before the issuance of the first refund. When I emailed them a second time (support@nugenix), they stated they had already issued a refund and would not be issuing another. What happened was that a charge was made to my account again before the issuing of my refund. Maybe there was a delay in the cancelling of the subscription right away back on July 31st. But I feel that it is not a valid reason to deny me, as a customer, the return of an accidental shipment of the same product during the original return.Respectfully, but to the point, Nugenix owes me another refund of $76.98. I have provided copies of my email correspondence with them as well as a copy of my bank transactions with them. Thank you for looking into this matter.

      We are sorry that ************ had an unsatisfying experience. We strive to ensure that all cancellations and refunds are processed promptly, but on rare occasions shipping delays or other errors do occur. Unfortunately, a customer service agent did not fully cancel **************** subscription as requested. That agent has been retrained. ************ has been emailed an RMA # and return instructions for his second shipment. Once the package is received at our warehouse, we will process a refund. ************ can expedite the refund process by providing return tracking information to our customer service team. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We trust that the offer of a refund resolves this issue. ************ may call or email customer service at any time with additional questions or concerns.

      I ordered a product which I did not find helpful. I canceled the subscription and sent back 2 packages of the product. They only reimbursed me for 1 because 1 was outside 30 day window . They refuse to refund me the 2nd product I sent back AND refuse to send the product back to me if they wont reimburse AND I offered to pay the return postage to me ! I have several emails to substantiate this.

      We are sorry that ******************** had an unsatisfying experience. We strive to ensure that all refunds are processed promptly. As we require a unique RMA # to process each refund and ******************** included a single RMA # with both packages, a second refund was not immediately processed. A refund for the second monthly recurring subscription order ******************** returned was processed on August 12, 2024. We trust that a refund offers a satisfactory resolution to this issue. ******************** may call or email customer service at any time with additional questions or concerns.

      I signed up for a free trial of Nugenix Total T. I did not receive any product and they were not supposed to charge me. But they did in the amount of $78.79 (subsequently I got two $25 overdraft fees). I called over a dozen times and emailed with them back n forth more than 10 times, trying to explain myself and they kept emailing me back asking the same questions over and over. I also signed up for a free trial of Instaflex, and Mindful Advantage. They are all the same company. I asked to cancel my Instaflex and called their customer service # and they emailed me with canceling Nugenix. I called to cancel my Instaflex and they canceled my Mindful Advantage. This is a SUPER SCAM!! How can they get away with this? I am going to my bank and they are going to help.

      Cancelled 'subscription' in May 2024 and haven't received the product since. However, they are charging me $49.95/month for a subscription I canceled, a product that I've not received, and product I don't want to receive. PayPal was able to get a refund last month, but they're back trying to bill me once again.

      Our records show that ****************** is no longer an active customer. She has only one account in our system related to an order for Instaflex Advanced that was originally placed in April 2024. That subscription was cancelled on May 13, 2024 at her request following her previous BBB complaint. No orders have been placed by or shipped to ****************** since that date. She was assigned an RMA # to return her monthly supply, which we have no record of ever receiving. Please be advised that the price point she outlines in this complaint is not one we have. She may have an active subscription for another product or possibly through a third party online retailer. If her new subscription is through another online retailer, she has to cancel through that retailer. ****************** may call or email customer service if she has additional questions.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my complaint, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      I would like to advise the company that I didn't have a 2nd account through a third-party as mentioned in their letter.  In order to put this matter in my review mirror, I will accept the refund sent to PayPal. 

      Thank you.

      I received 5 bottles and boxes of Peptiva and I did not order them. They have not been opened. Please remove my name from any new deliveries. Shortly after receiving the first & second boxes I got sick & my attention went to that issue. I want to return all these ************ expect a full refund of all charges. Question, why is my money being withdrawn from my checking account to go to **********************? Amazon has that information not Peptiva? I never have done business with them. Isnt it illegal to pass around someones checking account? You cant go around giving out my information to whomever you want. The boxes said Amazon sent them. Please remove my name for any additional orders. Please take my name off of Peptivas records. You can lookup the details of this action from your own records. And here I wanted to place another order. I want a complete refund for these packages.

      My 96-year-old father has been scammed by this company for almost two years. He initially purchased the product with the understanding of a one-time purchase. It was unclear to him that this was a monthly subscription of the product. Since August 2022 (today is June 2024) he has been sent monthly product. He is limited in computer and email knowledge. No email was sent on how to cancel the product. Nor that it was a subscription with reoccurring charges. The package the product was delivered in didnt say who it was from so he signed the *** package. Inside the package there were no paperwork on how to cancel either.I can see that he was sent an email from the company of each order with a link to a mailing tracking service but no link or information to the website on how to cancel the subscription. Furthermore, there is no login to an account on *********************** website that you can use to manage your orders, in case you want to skip or cancel the product. The customer service phone number displayed in the email and website puts you on hold for 30 minutes and then disconnects. No voicemail. No account or customer order.They also dont reply to emails.This Peptiva company is a scam and does not provide adequate ways for customers to cancel or contact the company. Their subscription agreement is misleading and unclear to consumers what they are actual buying. Shame on this company for not responding and scamming consumers. Especially older people!

      On May 6th 2024 I saw a commercial for Nugenix on TV. The commercial said if I texted ****** I would receive a free sample of Nugenix. I texted the number and received a response with a link to claim the offer. I clicked the link and it said I had to pay $5.99 for processing and handling. I paid it and received the product a few days later. On May 29th I see a charge on my card for Nugenix for $81.40. Keep in mind I've never even signed up for an account on their website. The may have buried it somewhere in the fine print but this was very deceptive on their part. They basically signed me up for a subscription service without me even creating an account for their business. I would like my money refunded.

      Ordered a 14 day sample. Before the 14 days were up I was charged $81.48 for a monthly subscription. I was not notified that by trying the product I would agree to continue to purchase it. I am living on a very fixed income and that amount is too much for something I had no idea would even work.
