    Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to your order. This is not the experience that we want for any of our customers and we greatly appreciate the thorough information you have provided. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to be very excited for an order to arrive and not receive exactly what you are expecting. 


    If you could please provide us with any photos you may have of the product and/or packaging along with the Best By date on the item so we could forward this to our Quality Team that would be great.


    We would love to make this right! Please let me know the best address to get you out some replacement product.

    I ordered a product from this company on 11/28/22. The items were shipped to the wrong address. I reached out to the company via email and by phone numerous times. I finally got an email reply on 12/6/22 asking for the correct shipping address. I supplied my address and havent heard a thing since then.
