    This company enrolled me in a subscription without my knowledge. I bought a product, nowhere did it say it was a subscription. I never consented to a subscription. I called and emailed and you can’t reach an actual person.

    I order once from them to TRY and the product gave me a severe rash so I never ordered from them again. Now they have made deductions from my debit and credit card accounts and say they are shipping me additional product. I tried to call them but no one answers. I emailed them at least four times and one response said they will not refund my money and said I signed up for reoccurring shipments, which is FALSE. I never do that with anyone one. I am 78! They are taking advantage of me.

    I only signed up to try their product as a trial run. It said nothing about them charging my credit card. When I finally found out what was going on I immediately tried getting a hold of them with no one answering the website chat. It wouldn't let me change my password to login to cancel this subscription I never agreed to. Cancel my subscription immediately and refund me the money. You know, I probably would have bought more from you if you hadn't signed me up against my will. Shame on you.

    Again my first order was made on Dec 20th and mailed after that. When I got the message that you were sending another order it had not been 30 days. I have emails showing that I contacted you Jan 20th which would of been before the 30 day return policy. I ordered your Product on Dec. 20th and it was sent a few days later. When you emailed me that you were sending out another ordered i asap let you know I didn't order another product and didn't want it. The product is unopened and I ask for a refund which you are refusing to do saying refunds are only for the first order if I wasn't satisfied. Your company says 100 satisfaction! This customer service is very disappointing. I will be contacting BBB with a complaint. I have several emails. I just don't know how to send them without copying each one at a time.

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:
    This company says that I have not responded to their offer of Half of a refund. However, I have not received any email directly from them. I expect a full refund and willing to send the unopened product back to them.

    Sincerely,

    This company charged my credit card without my agreeing to the charges. They charged $60.00 every month for 3 months. I did not realize they were doing this and I have tried many times to talk to them, but no one answered. I finally got a hold of someone on a chat on their site. I told them I only signed up to try their product as a trial run. It said nothing about them charging my credit card. When I finally found out what was going on I immediately tried getting a hold of them with no answering the phone. When I finally got a hold of someone on the chat they only offered me 20% back of only one charge and not the other 2 months they have been charging me. I told them I want a complete refund because the product did not work and I did not sign up for this. They kept sending me products and I tried to send them back and they refused. I was stuck with this unopened product that I did not want or authorize them to ship to me. I can't believe this company is still in business, but now I know how they are in business and that is because they scam people. Horrible business and I hope more people read the many complaints about The Spa Dr.

    DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. This company I purchased one time from and confirmed it before/when I ordered in October 2024, and they assured me it was a one time purchase as I told them I did not want any subscriptions. Then they billed me in November 22, 2024 for $48 for a subscription that I had not authorized or known about. I have no email of the order but it was delivered and I refused it on 12/2/2024. I have filed a dispute with credit card company but the merchant will not issue a credit because they say the dispute has not been reversed. These people are fraudulent. They should not be allowed to sell products when they falsely advertise. I have no email from them but they assembled an order and placed it in November which I did not authorize. I will fight this and I am not paying and I have tried several times and you cannot get a voice on the phone and just different people emailing you back saying they can't fix it.

    A refund was offered but we are unable to process it since the customer has filed a dispute with the bank. 

    Customer Answer

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:

    My bank closed the dispute and this company would still not issue a credit. I tried for several days contacting them and they keep telling me they can't issue a credit. It's a joke. It's a scam. I reopened the dispute with my credit card company as I have sent back the product and I still do not have a credit for $48. This was an UNAUTHORIZED charge by this company and I had no prior knowledge of this charge. 

    Sincerely,

    Complaint Description: I purchased a product from The Spa Doctor through their website. During the checkout process, I made a one-time purchase and did not select or agree to a subscription option. However, the company charged my bank an additional $90 without my authorization and claimed that I had enrolled in a subscription plan. When I contacted their customer service to dispute the charge, they insisted I had selected a subscription (which I know I did not) and informed me that the product had already shipped. They offered to refund only 50% of the $90 and let me keep the product. This resolution is unsatisfactory as I never agreed to recurring charges in the first place. Desired Resolution: I am requesting a full refund of the $90 and the cancellation of any unauthorized subscription. I also ask that The Spa Doctor improve their checkout process to ensure customers are fully aware of subscription agreements, as this situation feels deceptive.

    I have been charged three times for product I have not received, May *****, June *****, and August *****. I emailed them one time and told them. I did not sign up for a subscription. I haven't gotten one product yet. What is this company trying to just take your money!I would like a refund and taken off their subscription.

    **************** reached out to the customer on 6 separate occasions via phone. There was no answer. A voicemail was left on each of those calls. Customer did not return any of the calls. DHL tracking confirms that all packages were delivered to the address in the orders. **************** will attempt to reach out to customer today to confirm subscription cancelation.

    April 16th I received an email stating a shipment was on its way from the Spa Dr, with whom I had not placed a second order. I looked into it, and realized they had put me on a subscription which I had never authorized. I immediately cancelled it and I called the company to tell them to refund my account the $79.99 and cancel the order that they had processed without my consent. They then proceeded to tell me how I was outside of the 30 day original purchase window to receive a refund. The company used tricky and misleading business practices as the original advertisement from social media claimed you could try this product risk free for the $39.99 I was willing to pay for the first order. Nowhere did it state you would be signed up for an automatically recurring $79.99 to keep getting sent products. All I need is a paid postage stamp to return this product when it arrives and refund sent to my original payment.

    Customer was unaware that she signed up for a subscription. Agent followed protocol and advised about the return and cancellation policy. Upon consulting with a supervisor indicating that the customer did not receive the shipment, the agent was approved to cancel the subscription and process a refund for the customers last order.

    Avoid this company at all costs. I received notification that this was a subscription and my next order was being shipped. I contacted them immediately and asked them not to ship and to cancel. They stated "they were sorry to see me go but, they would lower the subscription to $39.99 if I stayed" I did not respond because I was not interested in the product for $39.99 either. They charged me $79.99. I contacted them asking what this was all about that I had canceled. Then they issued a credit. I thought that was the end of it. Then I received a box in the mail. I didn't even open it assuming they would be sending me a return label to send it back. I just set it aside and forgot about it. Now today they reversed the credit. I don't know what is going on with this company but, unless you want to waste a ton of time dealing with this I'd avoid it.

    The first interaction with this customer shows that the agent acknowledged the customers wish to cancel subscription. A retention offer was provided and the subscription was paused awaiting a reply. What wasnt known at the time was that another order processed before the subscription was paused. A refund has been processed and the subscription was canceled. Agent will be trained.
