On 3/19/23 my bank account was charged after canceling my subscription.Just as everyone else has said when you contact them they will tell you there is no record of you canceling and you will not get your money back without filing a dispute with your bank. Very shady service that advertises itself as something that is too good to be true and convient. Just another sales scam with no real customer service.Business Response

I requested that my account regarding a Wellbutrin prescription be cancelled in early February via their automated account dashboard. I received notification that my order shipped on March 15. I contacted the company and was told that they had never received my request and that they would look into cancelling my account but that I would not be refunded for the unwanted medication shipment. This charge was unauthorized. I see from reviewing other complaints that this practice is common for this company.Business Response

Hello *******,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
First, wed like to sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding your subscription. Were happy to clarify. Upon taking a look at your account, we see that you submitted a request on 01/29/2023 to reschedule/snooze your next refill to process on 03/16/2023. Since snoozing an order and canceling a subscription are separate processes, your subscription was not canceled at that time. We apologize for the misunderstanding.
If you would like to cancel your subscription and stop all future refills, we do ask that you let us know at least 48 hours prior to the next refill date so that we can take care of your request appropriately. While we are not able to offer you a refund for your refill, we can assure you that your subscription is canceled. Unless you choose to make another purchase or reactivate, no further charges or shipments will occur. Were sorry to see you go!
We know this isn't what you wanted to hear from us today, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. We hope that this information adds some clarity. We wish you all the best moving forward.Customer Answer

Tried the product but wasn't working for me. I'm SURE I cancelled my order but I never got a confirmation and suddenly I got charged again after NOT being charged last month and now I noticed another charge. Went looking to find the "cancel subscription" function again in the App but there is none (this time?) and Instructions in the Help section of the App are JUST PLAIN WRONG (deceptively?). The app is DOES NOT have a "cancel subscription" function where the instructions says it's supposed to be. How is that legal?!?!Now, I'm having to waste more time pursuing this cancellation even though I followed the companies instructions ONCE BEFORE...I repeat...how is this legal?!?!Business Response

I received an email from hims on Feb 16 stating that a charge had been made per my account subscription. I have attempted to cancel this subscription multiple times now. Whenever I put through the subscription cancellation request (not a pause) I get notified that this has been actioned and again, I continue to have a subscription. I have attempted to email customer service, to which I received a response saying no cancellation request has been received and they have mow cancelled. This isnt good enough. I cancelled the subscription for a reason. I want a refundCustomer Answer

I was charged 123 dollars for a 3 month order of Wellbutrin a couple days ago when it was supposed to be a one month subscription for Lexapro. I can't use that and this is started to seem like it was a waste of my time and finances. I will be canceling immediately if you're only going to give me a medication I can't even use. Please fix this so I can continue using this service.Business Response

I was charged $120 on March 11th by Hims/Hers company. They gave no notification that my subscription was renewing and did not send a receipt that I was charged, only a notification on March 13th that the item had shipping. I had the wrong card on file, and since the item had already shipped they would not refund and rebill to the correct card. They also will not give an itemized receipt for my purchase so that I can properly expense this transaction. I want an itemized receipt and my credit card information removed from my profile to prevent future charges, because they will not remove my information without replacing it with another payment method.Business Response

Last night I started a subscription for hers. I was advertised this would be $25 for the first month. After visiting my account page on the website I saw that the charge would actually be $85. I also have no option to cancel. I am no longer interested in this service, it is more stress than it's worth, but I am not given an option to cancel at this time.Business Response

When originally ordered I was told only 3 shipments were required. After my third shipment, my status said that I needed to re apply for a new subscription. I no longer needed the medication so I did not reapply. I then received another shipment in December and I made sure to take note that it said that prescription had expired. I have now been charged again for medication and they have now shipped it to me. When I called Hims/Hers the person helping me (*****) said that my prescription was not valid and I should have not been charged, but it was too much for her to issue a refund. She took it to her bosses, and they said the prescription was valid. I want my money back, and them to never charge me again.Business Response
