    The amount paid of ***** was not the amount refunded (73.83)as was told by the customer service agent when initially ordered stated that, "you can cancel at any time for a FULL refund". They said the date it was ordered and the date it was cancelled was a one day difference. If it is a full refund within 60 days, this is not right.

    August 15, 2024 Great Health Works used my debit card number to charge me for Omega XL 2 auto subscriptions for the amount of $50.19. I have never ordered from this company, I have not received any products from this company. I called to explain the situation and they could not find my account (because there is no account). The charge is still pending on my bank statement. I would like the $50.19 to be removed from my checking account.

    ***** ****

    To Whom It May Concern,

    We are writing in response to Ms. ****** complaint regarding what appeared to be a charge on her debit card from our company. We understand how unsettling this must be if she did not place an order with us, and we want to assure Ms. **** that we take this matter very seriously. Please note that we do not place orders without explicit consumer authorization.

    Upon receiving this complaint, we contacted Ms. **** to gather additional information to locate the transaction. After providing this information, we confirmed with Ms. **** that our anti-fraud tools had flagged the order as suspicious and our system therefore successfully stopped the order attempt. No order was placed, no account was created, and Ms. ***** method of payment was not charged. Typically, temporary holds placed at the time that an order is attempted will be released automatically soon after the transaction is rejected. However, after speaking with Ms. **** and concluding our investigation, we proactively released the authorization hold on the pending transaction on her debit card. We ask Ms. **** to allow 1-3 business days for the funds to appear in her account.

    Our goal is to provide excellent customer service to all customers. We welcome future requests via our **************** line at ************** or *********************************** Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST.

    Sincerely,

    Sept 8, 2024 a charge of $46.90 was placed on my Truist checking account from **********************. This charge is pending. The bank can not file a complaint on a pending charge. This is the second time a charge was placed by Great HealthWorks. I have never ordered a product from this company nor have I received a product from them. The first time a charge occurred on my account ********************** was able to trace the charge to my debit card and refund the amount. My debit card has been discarded. I called Great HealthWorks customer service but they have no record of my phone number nor my address.

    I purchased a one time order of Omega xl and received the product. I later realized that they automatically signed me up for monthly orders of the same amount. I called the customer service number *********** to cancel it right after receiving my product. They acknowledged that it would be canceled. Now all of the sudden it's started again on 8/6/24. I am so frustrated with this company. Please help me resolve this issue.

    My wife purchased OmegaXL, a vitamin supplement many months ago. She has Stage 4 brain cancer called Glioblatoma. ******* stopped taking the vitamins as she said they werent helping her. She cancelled the order but the product kept coming. I called over the Great Health Works and talked to customer service on July 8th, 2024 and during that conversation the person on the phone told me that she should keep taking the OmegaXL as they will help her with brain cancer. That is the most outrageous statement ever made. He said just keep them (3 month supply) as I wanted to send back the unopened packages. Then I called back the company today and they said they wouldnt send any money back. So I want the full amount back which is between $100-$300 for the year.

    ************************* (on behalf of ***************************** ******)

    To Whom It May ****************** are responding to ******************** complaint regarding his wife's account. After a thorough review of the account,we can confirm that **************** contacted our company on July 8, 2024, and requested to cancel the account due to his wife's condition. The representative canceled the account as requested and advised **************** that it was not eligible for a refund because it was outside of the money-back guarantee period.

    We carefully reviewed the interaction between **************** and our representative and understand the importance of sensitive communication, especially regarding health concerns. OmegaXL is a dietary supplement, and as such it is not intended to diagnose, treat,cure, or prevent any disease. We can confirm that our representative only suggested that ***************** could continue taking the product for the overall benefit that OmegaXL could provide.

    We acknowledge receipt of ******************* returned product on April 8, 2024. Unfortunately, the return was received outside of our 60-day money-back guarantee and was not eligible for a refund. Upon receipt of this complaint, we attempted to contact ****************, but unfortunately, we were unsuccessful. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we have issued full refunds for the last three orders **************** mentioned he received and wanted to return. We ask that **************** please allow 1-3 business days for processing.

    To Whom It May ****************** are responding to the complaint received by **************. We are disappointed to learn that ************** did not receive the benefits he was looking for when taking our product. We suggest 4 gel capsules daily, preferably with a meal, for the first 8 weeks. Consumers may start to feel benefits as early as after 2 weeks of using the product as suggested but expect the best results after 8 weeks of daily use.

    ************** called our company and requested to cancel his subscription on March 24, 2023. At that time, the subscription was canceled as requested. (Under the terms of our 60-day money back guarantee, consumers must return their bottles of OmegaXL, even if empty or partially used, in order to receive a refund. However, Mr. ****** did not return the product as per of the 60-day money back guarantee so unfortunately, we are not able to issue a refund.)

    My husband *********************** phone#************. Address *************************** *********************email ****************** saw an ad on tv for Omega XL. He received 1 shipment trial weeks after the order was placed. He did not want any more. A shipment came and he refused it. Mail carrier took it away. I called "Great Healthworks" customer service on his behalf on 7/3/'24 after he got email that he would be charged another *****.I called 3 times and spoke to representative.1st person hung up on me claimed he couldn't locate the account w/phone#.2nd couldn't locate it. 3rd located it after I gave his email 7:30 A.M.Claimed to have canceled auto ship. But at 11:30 7/3/'24 another email came that he would be charged ***** for a new shipment. On the 3rd call I spoke to *****. I explained ****** never wanted anymore after 1st trial. ****** was unaware of autoship. Wks. Passed between transaction and trial omegaXL. He did not like it. The "window" had passed was the excuse ***** gave to be unable to refund and kept inquiring personal info of how much he did or did not take. Why he did not like it etc. This 60 day window and auto ship is a scam. Can't possibly believe "you can return/cancel anytime" because Great healthworks delays between order and receiving wks long. Instead of canceling with money back A brand new order has been shipped and charging ***** again. ****** only received and opened his "trial package. Refused the second one and canceled autoship 7:30 A.M. 7/3/'24@11:30 new email received that more is coming. This is not ok. Refund his payment. Don't ship anymore. Cancel any and all future orders. Unauthorized charge was made. Taking advantage of people who would like to "try omegaxl" delay 1st shipment so any cancelation outside their window is a set up. "Cancel anytime" is a falsehood. Not canceling autoship is a falshood.

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
