    I began using this company's 'Omega XL' product abut a year ago and the product was OK. However, in March of this year I underwent emergency surgery and subsequently lost my job. In order to reduce as many expenses as possible I contacted Great HealthWorks in March to cancel my autoship. The representative assured me that she would cancel my autoship. I continued to be billed and more product has been shipped every month since. I called again in May to cancel my autoship. It is now AUGUST and I was just billed AGAIN with more product on the way. This company is dishonest. I have even cancelled my bank card last month and THEY STILL ARE CHARGING ME 6 MONTHS AFTER MY ORIGINAL CANCELLATION REQUEST!!!

    *******************
    To Whom It May *************************** are responding to the complaint raised by **************** regarding the cancelation request for her subscription. After conducting a thorough review of the account in question, we were unable to locate any record of contacting our company regarding a cancellation request in March 2023.  Our records indicate that on April 13, 2023, **************** initiated a new order through our website, taking advantage of our Buy One Get One (BOGO) OmegaXL offer.
    On August 11, 2023, **************** contacted our company and requested to cancel her subscriptions. **************** stating that she had previously requested to do so back in March. The representative advised **************** that there was no record of that call and proceeded to cancel the subscriptions. As a courtesy, the representative submitted a refund for the last two orders billed (one refund for OmegaXL and one refund for SleepXL) less shipping and handling.    

     We attempted to reach out to **************** upon receipt of this complaint but were unsuccessful. Based on our findings, we were not able to locate any cancelation requests prior to August 11, 2023. **************** account is not eligible for any additional refunds per our 60 day money back guarantee.

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

    Sincerely,

    On July 10, 2023. I called **************** and cancelled my subscription for a supplement this company sells (Omega XL). I told ******* that since I will have no current business with her company, had no desire to make future purchases from them, and did not desire to access my purchase history data, I wanted Great HealthWorks to delete my credit card and other personal information from their customer and billing databases and servers. ******* told me she could not do that, and that the company would keep my personal and banking information forever. I advised ******* that I would complain to the ************************ because to keep my personal/banking information without my permission and after all legal business has been concluded is illegal. I asked to speak to a supervisor immediately, but *******'s response was that she couldn't contact a supervisor at that time, and that one would contact me within 48 business hours. As of the date of this complaint I have not been contacted by anyone from Great HealthWorks, Inc.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory with regard to my case. However, I urge Great HealthWorks management to bring their own **************** personnel up to date with company policy and the law, specifically the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. In this way **************** will avoid giving out false information to consumers making a similar request regarding the deletion of personal and credit card information.

    I bought Omega XL with a guarantee my money back if not satisfied within 60 days. I called & they said 30 days money back, I said the 2 bottles you have to use will take more than 30 days to see if it work. Now that I finish both bottles with no results, I would like my money back. I paid $39.00.

    I just ordered from this company last week and have been trying to cancel the autoship. I have filled out the forms on their website multiple times and no one is assisting me. I think this is a scam and they are trying to avoid canceling the autoship to keep charging me.

    This company offered a monthly subscription to their product with a 60 day refund policy. I placed my first order in February 2022. In March I called to cancel my order. It was billed and shipped anyway. Since then I have made 2 "return to sender" shipments and multiple calls. I'm told that the number cannot handle my cancelation nor issue refunds and I'm given another number. That number either does not answer or plays only hold music without indication of the company you reached or other identifying information. NEVER has a single person acknowledged this issue. **************** tells me that if this were the case they would have notes on the call. If this were the case they would have in their system that packages were returned. The latest call was this afternoon in response to the change in credit card info, "we have trouble processing your order". After explaining everything yet again, I had to wait for a supervisor. I was told repeatedly to hold until she came back on the line that a supervisor will call back in 24hrs! I was still willing to hold, but "****** shift ends at 4pm and he's on another call right now" It's only 2 in the afternoon, can I speak to his supervisor? "No. ****** is the only one who can help you and he's on another call. He will call you and tell you exactly what I told you already. You needed to take care of this last year and we have no record of you trying to contact us." I clarified that there is a huge difference between our calls and returns and their lack of records. We changed the credit card twice and had to report them with the bank because they accessed the new credit card the first time it was changed. 1. They refused to accept the request to cancel and honor their refund policy. They gave a 'phone number for that department is' response instead. 2. They refused to answer the complaint/return/refund department phone number. 3. They refused to acknowledge receipt of 2 months of Omega XL shipments. **** is not that bad!

    I order the product off of the ** I was given until the 28 of April to cancel auto ship I received auto ship order on the 27 of April and my CC was charged before the cancellation date. I did contact the company after being on hold for 45 minutes and once I did speak to someone name ****** he said he cancel the auto ship.I called 2 days later once I saw my CC had been charged for 76.00$. I was then told I would get a refund minus shipping which I don't think is fare as a customer they advertise money back guarantee This is one of the worst companies I have ever delt with you are on hold for ever when you finally get to speak with someone they try everything to make you stay with the company by offering you free stuff it almost as if you have to threaten them to cancel and get a refund I felt so harassed by the customer service agent you should be able to cancel and get a refund without a hassle

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.
