This company is a scam
This company is a scam! Please do not purchase from them!
I came across this company on social media and having watched a half hour video, decided to buy the product they were selling. I know! I should have known better, especially at my age, but they really were great salespeople! I purchased 6 bottles of tablets and upon completion of the payment I was offered a further 3 bottles at a great discount. I stupidly agreed. In total I spent over £300 and those 3 additional bottles? They cost the same as the 6 bottles! 9 bottles meant 9 months of tablets.
You’re probably thinking I never received the product, right? Wrong! I did receive all nine bottles. However, during the video it explained its main ingredients which sounded good but I have some allergies so before opening any of the bottles, I read the ingredients list and their quantities. Unfortunately I found a couple of ingredients that I’m allergic to, so I decided to contact Pure Essentials Wellness to arrange a return and refund. When I went to the website I got a message telling me the domain was available to purchase!!
I eventually found an email address and wrote asking them to provide me with a return address so I could send back the product. I explained in great detail how I hadn’t broken the seal on any of the bottles, and that I was allergic to a couple of the ingredients. I had doubts about whether I’d get a response from them.
I did receive an email but it didn’t include a return address. Hellena said she was sorry to hear that I needed to return the items and she was offering me a 20% refund and I could keep the product.
I replied refusing her offer, explained again why I needed to return them and said I wanted a full refund.
Hellena wrote back offering me a 40% refund - which her manager had approved and was a special offer just for me, that it wasn’t something they would do for anyone else. She then said that as well as the 40% refund I could continue to use the product and receive its benefits.
She was basically telling me to take the tablets regardless of the impact they would have on me.
I later discovered a lot of reviews that other dissatisfied customers had written, and guess what? They were also offered a 40% refund!!
I am a lone parent with an incurable illness on benefits and I used all my savings to buy a product that I can’t use. Yes I was stupid to spend all that money but I would have used the product if I wasn’t allergic to some of the ingredients. I hope for other customers who have purchased the tablets that they truly do work, so that it’s not a total waste of money. The problem is that any company selling a product needs to have a telephone number for customer services. They need to listen to those customers instead of having a standard email policy that sends out identical messages first offering a 20% refund and then a 40% refund, implying that they’re doing it just for you. Every consumer has the right to return an item in exchange for a full refund (if the item is in the same unused condition that it arrived in). I will be taking this further, I cannot afford to write this off as a bad experience, which it is!
I haven’t received a reply from Hellena yet and I’m not surprised. You only have a certain amount of time to return an item and apparently for this company it’s 14 days from when you receive the package.
