On June 7 I ordered a book on high blood pressure that was to be mailed to me and I have never received it. I have sent more than one email to them. They have sent an email response that did not answer my question as to when I would receive my book. They continue to send emails trying to get me to purchase other items. I would like to have the book but if they won't send it to me I would like a refund.Business response

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your concerns. We understand your frustration and want to clarify the situation for you.
On June 7, you ordered the High Blood Pressure Solution Kit. According to our records, the purchase was for a digital version of the book, which was immediately available for download. We promptly provided a receipt by email and a download link for your convenience.
It appears there may have been some confusion regarding the format of the book. We have sent multiple emails, including the receipt again, which clearly indicates that your purchase was for a digital item. In these communications, we also included a download link so you can access your book right away.
If you prefer a printed copy of the book, we are happy to accommodate your request. Please let us know if this is your preference, and we will arrange for a printed version to be sent to you. Alternatively, if you still wish to receive a refund, we can process that for you as well.
Please check your email inbox for our previous communications, and do not hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.Initial Complaint

I needed information about diabetes. Found Barton Publishing on the internet. Listend to a long spell. They said they were selling a book for 19.99 used. I gave them my info and credit card number for the 19.99. They then continued trying to sell me 9 months of pills. At this point I exited the phony scam. At this point I went on a to search for a review of the company using the BBB and found pages of complaints. After my search I informed my bank and blocked my credit card. This company is not operating on the level.Business response

4/23/24 I tried to place an order for a book. Price I put in my credit card information for was 19.99. This company then billed my card 304.85 for book and supplements I never ordered. I reported this transaction as the fraud it is to my bank. Then contacted the company. They refused to do anything. Then I looked up complaints against them. After seeing this has happened numerous times to people. I closed my card so they could not continue to charge me. I decided to file my first complaint ever against this business because what they are doing is scandalous.Business response

We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your recent order. Our records indicate that you selected 9 bottles of Reflux Remedy on the ordering page before completing your purchase. We want to clarify that we cannot add anything to a customer's order, and all items added to the cart are the direct result of the customer placing the order.
However, we understand your concerns and are here to help. If there was any issue during the ordering process, our customer service team is available to assist and correct the order as needed. But unfortunately, the order had already been shipped by the time we received your message, which we responded to in a timely and orderly fashion.
Additionally, since you called the banked and filed a chargeback, we were not provided with a timeframe to make any adjustments to the order or issuing a refund. This was a mistake because it ties our hands to be able to assist you further. However, we will provide all available digital evidence to the credit card company to demonstrate that you made your selection online, and we are confident that we will resolve the matter in our favor.
We recommend waiting for the chargeback dispute process to be completed. When the dispute is resolved in our favor, we will be able to address any concerns or issues regarding your order at that time.
Furthermore, there is no recurring order indicated on the receipt, so no further charges would be made. Therefore, there is no need to cancel your credit card. We cannot and will not charge a customer without their authorization.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your understanding.Business response

Our records show that you placed an order on April 23, and our team processed it immediately. The email you sent us was received after hours on April 24 at 7:48 pm. Unfortunately, by the time we received your email on April 24, your order had already been processed at our fulfillment center for shipment on April 25. This is why we informed you that the order had already shipped.
We assure you that we take customer feedback seriously and always strive to provide the best service possible. However, in this case, the order was processed before we received your email, and we acted as soon as we could to inform you of its status. We replied to your email on April 25 at 9:31 am with the information that your order had already shipped. Tracking confirms that your order shipped on April 25.
We want to clarify that our website clearly states that orders typically ship within 24-48 hours of purchase. Therefore, it's possible for orders to be processed and shipped shortly after they are placed.
Additionally, once orders have been moved to fulfillment, we are unable to cancel the shipment.
We understand your frustration, but we want to clarify that our intention was not to mislead you. When we said that the order had shipped, it was based on accurate information available to us at the time. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise, and we provided transparent and truthful information about the order's status.

Again I did not order yet the supplements! I have requested a return label for these products I did not order.
I will not open & it needs to be returned.
Again I only tried to order a 19.99 book. That is what I put in my payment for. I never ordered or authorized the supplements. You have complaints all over for doing this to people on different formats for different conditions. Send a return label so this can be done.Initial Complaint

Thank you for reaching out to us and providing additional details regarding your recent order.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you experienced with your order. We understand your concerns about the unexpected charge and the supplement product that you did not intend to purchase.
Upon reviewing your account and order details, we found that your order was placed online on March 5, 2024 for the Healthy Heart Solution Kit, as advertised for $19.97. However, it appears that an additional supplement product was added to your order during the checkout process, resulting in the total charge of $389.92.
It's important to note that during the checkout process, customers are given the option to add extra bottles of the supplement to their order. This selection is made by the customer, and additional charges apply accordingly. A screenshot of the option to add 9 bottles of Healthy Heart Support is provided.
We apologize if there was any misunderstanding during the ordering process. We strive to provide a transparent and straightforward purchasing experience for our customers. Nevertheless, we understand that mistakes can happen, and we are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction.
Our customer service representatives, Mr. Gabriel and Ms. Mia on March 8, offered you a 40% discount on the supplement product and advised you to try the product first. This resulted in a refund of $160.37. They also informed you about our 365-day money-back guarantee, which allows customers to return the product for a full refund, even if it has been opened. Notes from Mia and Gabriel dated March 8 on your order show that you were willing to keep the product.
We understand that you have no intention of trying the product and prefer to receive a refund for the unauthorized charge. However, please note that our refund policy requires the return of physical products for a refund. We cannot process a refund without receiving the returned items.
We acknowledge that you contacted us AFTER the product had already shipped on March 7. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. We recommend considering the option of returning the product via a local courier service or postal service that offers affordable shipping rates.
Please rest assured that we are here to assist you in resolving this matter. If you decide to return the product for a refund, please let us know, and we will provide you with the necessary instructions and assistance.
Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation.

It's important to note that our system is designed to only add products to an order if the customer explicitly selects them during the checkout process.
We acknowledge that ordering online, especially using a mobile device, can sometimes lead to accidental selections due to the smaller screen size. We apologize for any confusion that may have arisen from this. We also understand that mistakes can happen, and we are here to assist you in resolving any issues that may arise.
Upon completing your order, a receipt is immediately sent to your email address for your review. This allows you ample time to verify the contents of your order and make any necessary changes before it ships. We encourage all our customers to carefully review their receipts to ensure the accuracy of their orders.
In an effort to resolve this issue, we previously offered you a 40% discount on the total order amount, which you accepted. Unfortunately, as stated in our refund policy, a full refund can only be processed once we have received the product back in our warehouse. Additionally, our policy states that the cost of returning the product is the responsibility of the customer, and we are unable to provide compensation for this cost.
Furthermore, we understand that your brother spoke with our customer service representative, but it was after the order had already shipped.

On or about August 22, 2023, In response to a TV ad.I called Barton Bublishing to purchase a book, Diabetic Solutiom Cookbook Bible & Meal Plan for $19.97. I was offered a virtual copy , so I could read it while awaiting the hard copy. I accepted. There was no mention of an additional charge. About a week or 2 later, I received a call from Barton Publishing called to discuss. supplements. I specifically said I was not interested in any supplements and the caller accepted my refusal . Shortly after, I got an email saying, they were sending me a courtesy shipment of their supplement. This came in the mail and this was repeated. I however ignored it since I had already told them.I did not want supplements and assumed that it was a sample. Unfortunately, I do not always check my credit card statements. In December, I was decluttering and found one of my credit card statements, with a payment to Barton Publishing for $47. I promptly called the credit card company and.asked if that was a recurring payment. I was told were $47 payments from Sept. through Dec. and additionally a payment on August 22, for $119,52. I immediately contacted Barton Publishing and asked what was I being charged for. They said monthly supplements that I had ordered. I repeated the conversation that I had with their staff several months before. Pointing out that I specifically said I did not want supplements and that was accepted. I then asked about the $119.52 In August and was told that it was for the hard copy of the book, the virtual copy and supplements which I had ordered. I responded that I had only ordered the hard copy of a book and was offered the virtual copy with no mention of an additional charge, and I had definitely not ordered supplements. The person on the line checked my account and said since I had not opened the virtual copy. I would be refunded that money. That was not done. I need them to return the $288.65 as my transaction was $19.97.Business response

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced with your order.
Upon reviewing your account and the details provided, it appears that you initially placed an order for the Diabetic Solution Kit for $19.97. As part of the offer, you also opted for the printed copy of the book, which was ADDED to your order (and the screenshot of the selection is provided).
Additionally, it seems that you were presented with an offer to enroll in our CinnaChroma auto-order program during your initial purchase. This option was clearly marked as a recurring order, and your selection to enroll was confirmed in multiple places during the checkout process (as provided). The charge for the CinnaChroma supplements and subsequent shipments was outlined in the receipt that was emailed to you immediately after your purchase and each every monthly purchase.
Furthermore, our records indicate that you contacted us via SMS after the initial order had shipped and been delivered. However, we replied that any customer service must be done over the phone to cancel. We received a call from you 4 months after the initial order had been processed and 5 CinnaChromas had been delivered. At this time, we explained the entire order process to you, that each auto order was sent by receipt to you. The auto order was then cancelled in our system.
We immediately received chargebacks for each order. Regarding the chargeback requests, our system automatically refunded the amounts for each chargeback initiated on your account for the 4 auto orders of CinnaChroma. Since you opted to keep the products rather than returning them, we are unable to issue further refunds for those transactions.
It is also important to note that the chargeback filed for the initial order was thoroughly investigated, and we provided all the evidence to the credit card company, including the selections made during the checkout process, the delivery of the products, and the receipt sent to you immediately after purchase.
After reviewing the evidence, the credit card company ruled in our favor, confirming that the purchase was indeed made by you, and all selections were clearly outlined during the checkout process. As a result, we won the dispute, and the ruling of the credit card company must be accepted by both parties as a third party.
We strive to provide transparent and reliable service to all our customers, and we take the chargeback process seriously to ensure fair outcomes for both parties involved.
While we understand your desire for a refund, we must adhere to our refund policy, which states that physical products must be returned for a refund. As you opted to keep the products rather than returning them, we are unable to issue any further refunds for those transactions.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.Initial Complaint

Order Placement: Our records indicate that the order was placed for the DIGITAL Diabetes Solution Kit from ******************** on October 16, 2023. The transaction was completed successfully, and the associated payment was processed on the same day. If your credit card company said they put a stop on the transaction, they certainly did not.

Digital access was provided immediately after purchase with a link at the top of the receipt, as well as portal access information provided by email.
We also emailed you shipment information at time of fulfillment.
<see email delivery receipt image>Cancellation Attempt: Unfortunately, we did not receive any cancellation request before the order was fulfilled. We made attempts to confirm the order with you over the phone, and a verbal interaction ensued, wherein you mentioned canceling the order with the credit card and hung up on us.
Chargebacks: Following the chargebacks you initiated to dispute the transactions, we engaged in the chargeback dispute process. We provided **** with all relevant information to support the validity of the transactions. If the reason for a chargeback is credit not processed, then items need to be returned to issue the credit.
**** Prearbitration Process: ****, as part of its procedures during the prearbitration process, meticulously reviewed all information and documentation submitted by both parties. After this thorough examination, **** has ruled in our favor, affirming the validity of the transactions and concluding in our winning favor.
"If the card issuer disputes a representment or pre-arbitration response from the acquirer, the card issuer may file for arbitration with ****. In arbitration, **** decides which part is responsible for the disputed transaction. ****** decision is final and must be accepted by both the card issuer and the acquirer. During arbitration, **** reviews all information/documentation submitted by both parties to determine who has final liability for the transaction.”
As previously mentioned, when you filed the chargebacks, we invested significant time and effort in disputing them to protect the rights of our company.
It is essential to understand that chargebacks can have serious consequences for businesses, including financial losses and potential damage to our reputation. As a result, the company reserves the right to dispute chargebacks to ensure fairness and protect our interests. We are pleased to inform you that we successfully won both chargeback disputes.
We want to express our appreciation for your cooperation in accepting ****'s decision. As a result of the **** arbitration process, the disputed transaction has been deemed valid, and the funds have been debited from your account accordingly and we consider this matter resolved.
Return of Supplements: At this point, we recommend holding onto the supplements.
I appreciate your understanding of this situation, and we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction. If there's anything else we can do to address your concerns, please let us know.
