    I woke up and attempted to use my Chime account. I saw this bogus charge nd right away knew this was bogus. The company is not cooperating with me to right a wrong.

    It looks like this was an on demand order that was created on 6/23. Since you didn't want the order we've refunded you for it today. You should see this refund in your bank statement in a few business days. 

    It looks like you started a second subscription 3 packs of 6 blade razors as well. Did you want us to cancel that subscription so you only have the one for one pack of blades? Or did you want to cancel both subscriptions?

    I want to cancel my subscription; their systems are designed to NOT allow this, to not respond. The response that do show up in my gmail are there for thirty seconds and then disappear. Not in my trash, not in spam, just gone. I want to cancel my account. I do not to do business with this company. Nothing more. The company's website is designed to make canceling accounts challenging. I want to cancel; I can not find my password; when I request support, I get no email, so I can not cancel, when I try to talk with someone they never reply. I WANT TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT.

    I made a ONE TIME guest purchase on Dollar Shave Club Web Page 25 Mar 2025. Now I'm receiving unsolicited items from Dollar Shave Club. I request Dollar Shave Club STOP sending me unsolicited products. I have disputed this transaction with ******.

    Sorry for the trouble. It looks like your first order was for the $5 starter set. When you got that the page mentioned a subscription would be created. Which is why you were billed and shipped another order. It looks like our colleague **** responded to your request via email earlier and provided more info. Looks like she cancelled the subscription and refunded you for the unwanted order. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to respond to that email and **** would be happy to help.

    I cancelled a subscription with this company months ago. They assured me TWICE in writing that the subscription had been cancelled. Today I received a box with several items that I never ordered and my **************** has been charged $42.77. This is the second time I have received items from them (and the accompanying charge) on an account that they assured me had been cancelled. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company and attempted to contact DSC, but this level of incompetence is ridiculous, not to mention unethical.

    I am rejecting this response because: I have not yet received the refund, nor do I have absolute confirmation the subscription was cancelled (since I was told TWICE before that it was cancelled and it was not). Once I receive the refund and the confirmation, I will revisit this.

    Our system shows the refund was accepted back to the **** on 4/9. The timing of the refund is now dependent on their financial institution. If you don't see the refund in your bank statement we suggest giving **** a call to confirm. I just checked again and the subscriptions are still cancelled and you will no longer be billed or shipped anything from that account going forward. If you would like to login to the account and check on your end, let us know and we can help you with that as well.

    On 3/2/2025, I ordered a discounted trial bundle from Dollar Shave Club for 9.99, including 2 handles and 2 blades plus shave butter (DSC-US-SX-12220597). On 3/7/2025, it was delivered. I received everything correct, except that 1 of the 2 handles was obviously previously used, with ***** hairs all over it. (See photos 1-2.) I contacted support, was assisted by an automatic bot, and told the used one I received was unacceptable and a new one would be sent to me free of charge. On 3/19/2025, I recieved the replacement order (#DSC-US-SX-12341708), which was also a used handle, with ***** hair on it. (See photo 3). (Photo 4 is a copy of the chat transcript).I believe that it is literally not safe to send out handles of used razors to customers without them, even realizing it not only because it is deception, because what if someone has a disease that is transmitted via blood-borne pathogen and as they shaved blood got on the handle and then that handle was sent to someone else who could potentially contract that disease that is just unsanitary and I think this should be seriously looking into finding out where this fell short. I would like a refund and I do not plan on using this company anymore for any reason.

    Business Response

    Date: 03/24/2025

    Hey ****, 

    Thanks for contacting us and letting us know about the handle you received. First off, I can assure you we would never send a used handle to Members. In fact we don't even accept returns on any of our products, so we don't have used products in our warehouse before. We have seen a similar instance before though. What those "hairs" are are little fibers from the paper packaging used in the box when sending out the order. It mirrors a close resemblance to hairs, but I can assure you the handle is brand new. 

    We have a couple options here. I can try to reship the handle again and make sure it is packed in the plastic bag so those fibers don't end up on the handle, or I can refund you for the original handle. Let me know which option works best for you and I'd be happy to help with that. 

    Thanks, 

    Trent

    If you dont accept returns, then why would any of the razors you ship out, ship without sealed plastic packaging? Maybe that should be SOP for your order processing ***** Im not convinced, since 2 out of my 2 razor handles arrived loose in a box with questionable finbers or hairs; while one was in a sealed plastic bag, within the box.

     

    nonetheless. I would appreciate a refund. Thank you

    Business Response

    Date: 03/25/2025

    I totally understand your concern. Without going into to much detail, the Black handles are the ones we send out the most, they are in most of our starter sets, the most commonly picked handle, etc. so we decided not to pack those ones in the plastic. We put each of the handles in plastic by hand, they don't come to us in the plastic. 

    I've gone ahead and refunded you for that handle though. You should see this refund in your bank statement in a few business days. Sorry again for the trouble. Let us know if you need anything else.

    I am filing a complaint regarding an issue with Dollar Shave Club. I initially purchased a set of razor blades for $5 and was under the impression that it was a one-time purchase without any subscription. However, I was unexpectedly charged $12 for an additional order of 6 blades. This charge was not disclosed or anticipated. I contacted Dollar Shave Club to request a refund, cancel the order, and terminate any subscription, but I have not received a refund. Additionally, I am unable to log in to my account because the password reset email never arrives in my inbox (email: *********************** This has further prevented me from managing my account or resolving the issue myself. I am very disappointed with the lack of transparency regarding their subscription practices and the difficulty in accessing my account to address this matter. I request immediate action to process my refund, ensure my account is accessible, and terminate any subscription associated with my account.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/21/2025

    Sorry for the trouble. We are a subscription service, so when you signed up for the $5 starter set, you were also signing up for a subscription. It outlines how it works on the page. It looks like our colleague **** responded to your request via email today and refunded you for the second order and cancelled your subscription. You will no longer be billed or shipped anything automatically going forward. If you need any other help, feel free to respond to that email with **** and she would be happy to help out.
