I signed up for enclomiphene therapy with Strut on 9/18/24. I completed the intake, and a doctor reviewed my medical information and approved me for treatment. Their website states in the *** section that they ship to all 50 states as of June 2024. Well, imagine my surprise when they emailed me today, 9/20/24, to say they don't ship to my state. They have stated they will issue a refund, and I am still waiting for my refund. This business is a complete scam. The doctor *** reviewed my information was simply listed as "Dr. ****** with no identifying information (healthcare providers are legally supposed to introduce themselves, including their full name, in case a patient needs to file a complaint with their regulating board). They provided no comprehensive education about the medication that was prescribed.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: this business has not updated their *** as stated. As of 9/22/24 at 09:23 CDT, the *** still states that they ship medications to all 50 U.S. states. I will not be satisfied until their false messaging has been corrected.Business response

Hi my name is **** *****. I use to buy hair loss solution from the above company. I sent an email to company at the email id ********************************* on 6/30/24 to cancel my subscription on 6/30/24 and then another email requesting cancellation on 6/04/2024. The company kept on sending me the medication and sent me three supplies. I couldn't contact the company due to personal reasons. Now I contacted the company to refund the amount paid for these three deliveries as I had requested the cancellation by email. "Cancellation by email" is the method company suggest for cancellation of subscription. The company representative says they did not receive the emails and so they won't refund me for these three deliveries. The email id I used is correct. I did not get notification from gmail that my email was not delivered. I believe this is not fair practice by that said business entity. I don't have any choice other that requesting the BBB. The money I pad for this product is $ 237 which is nothing I would care for but its the principle and the business ethic for which I care about.I am attaching the cancellation emails with and without the email id and my correspondence with the company.I would appreciate assistance.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: My response to the business is as follows:
"Thanks for the refund for last month's supply. I also need the refund of the other two refills. I know one thing: I sent the emails to the correct address. You didn't receive the email for some reason. You need to work on that process which caused the emails not to reach you. You can not simply say that we did not receive the email and now we won't refund.
I have the medicine sitting at my home and it is of no use to me. I can send it back to you. It's not my fault. Businesses are not run like this. If I had not sent you the email or had I sent it on the wrong email then I would not have claimed the refund.
I should received the refund for the previous two supplies and you should work on the cancellation process and try to figure out what happened to the emails. I am also going to send the same reply to BBBB.
Regards
Noma"Business response

For the inconvenience we refunded you for the August 1, 2024 refill. Please allow 3-5 business days for the credit to appear on your statement. The very first order you requested can not be refunded since that was your first order and specifically asked for it. We refunded you for the automatic refills that processed. Hope this will resolve this issue. We believe this is a good middle ground. Thank you!Initial Complaint

This company tried to change my prescription after 3 months of treatment and also tried to raise the price. Both are shown in the attached image. They tried to scam me with the higher price and different subscription. Basically it was a bait and switch. Now the time and money I spent using a product that wont get to complete the treatment is lost. I expect a full refund of my money. I asked them to change my sub back and they chose to not do so. This matter needs to be checked by the ************************* It is clearly fraudulent!Business response

I am rejecting this response because: They are completely lying! I present proof of both of their lies. Screenshots of my first email regarding this matter to customer service. In it is clearly state either refund my money or change the subscription back to what it was. I clearly informed the in my very first email that I was allergic to the antibiotics and they were not needed or wanted. I had a culture done on my toes and KNOW exactly what my foot fungus is. I guess they thought I was the normal average customer who does not know anything.
The second thing they lied about was telling me they had doubled the dose to two bottles. I was not told anything about that and have included another screenshot showing that the doctor explains it after my account was cancelled by them. They did not tell me before I told them no more charges. That is a lie! Secondly, he did change the subscription to include the antibiotics I am allergic to. I already to told them before, that is not what was displayed on their website(see previously photo).
THEY EITHER NEED TO COMPLETELY REFUND ME FOR CANCELLING MY ACCOUNT, INSTEAD OF FIXING THE SUBSCRIPTION, AS I ASKED IN MY VERY FIRST EMAIL REPLY TO CUSTOMER SERVICE.OR FIX MY SUBSCRIPTION BACK TO NO ANTIBIOTICS. I DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE HIGHER PRICE IF IT IS FOR TWO BOTTLES.

Hello,
Like any pharmacy once the medication leaves the pharmacy we do not process refunds or returns.
We are happy to change the Rx back to the old Rx. We never shipped any refills with antibiotics and would be happy to change the Rx back. We will email the patient and let them know the Rx will be changed back to the original formula at $59. If he wants 2 bottles, I will get confirmation first before we change his Rx to 2 bottles.

I am rejecting this response because: in no area in the response did the business cite--in clear english--how a customer definitively cancels the subscription. it's a deceptive business practice that would-be consumers need to be aware ofInitial Complaint

Website was deceiving because it said start for free. I ended up being charged for the product. Only the consult was free but wasnt explicitly stated when you place the order. Then I contacted them because I was getting headaches from using the product. I was told it is a side effect but I pointed out headache wasnt listed as a possible side effect. I asked for a refund and they refused.
