I had a monthly shipment that I updated my address when I moved to my house. I have received some shipments but others I have not.... funny how they blame that on the shipping address. Sorry but if you change your shipping address it should go to the shipping address!!! And sorry, not sorry I don't accept your answer to that question. If you have to change the address in multiple location your site isn't very good to begin with. Plus when I changed it the first time I don't remember seeing anything stated I needed to update it on the subscription.Because some were refused at my old apartment I didn't get a full refund. And the rest was just waisted lost money. The last order went up way in price and when I went to get my money back they refused since it was "successful" delivered. I don't want another item I want my money back!!!!Just don't deal with this company or any MLM, they will take your money and run, not surprising in this inflation c*** of an economy. Also, Not worth it either since I had my gallbladder removed. *******************Business Response

I purchased IT WORKS on 11/12/2021 for a total amount of $243.84. The items were ThermoFightxx and it works slimming gummies. I tried several times calling the company but couldn't get help or no answer. These items were dated for 2020. I purchased them at the end of *********************************************** January of 2022 and March 2022. I had to order three shipments before I could cancel or pay a fee for early cancelation. I was diagnosed with diabetes so I postpone taking the product until I got it under control. I started taking it in August only to notice that the bottom of the gummies bottle was seeping through. Then I noticed the that the product was well over being outdated. Most products are good for a year these were 2 years past.Business Response

Dear ****,
We have received your letter from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Having your concern addressed and resolved is our top priority.
First, we would like to address your concern that you contacted us several times but did not receive help and no answer. Please be aware that there are a number of ways to contact customer service, including our website https://itworks.com/contactus which has our phone number, fax number & a chat option. Additionally, you can submit a support ticket to customer service by logging into your Loyal Customer Portal.
Our Product Coach will be contacting you regarding the products you have purchased to inform you of the Manufacturing (MFG) date, the products shelf-life and our quality standards.
It Works! specifically lists the Return/Refund Policy on our website - https://static.myitworks.com/legal/pdf/returnspolicy.pdf as to advise you if you do have a damaged or defective item it must be reported within (30) days of the ship date. Please refer to the It Works! Refunds and Returns Policy #9 - To receive a replacement on incomplete, broken, damaged, or defective items, the Customer must report the matter within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery and the incomplete or defective item must be made available for inspection if requested. Unfortunately, this was reported ten (10) months later which is well outside our Return/Refund Policy. Therefore, we are unable to issue any refunds. Additionally, we are unsure how you stored the Slimming Gummies which the Product Coach will discuss with you.
We wish you well.

I signed up to be a distributor in March of 2022. I was unable to sell to anyone and so I wanted to stop being a distributor. I have been charged around $20 a month ever since then and my account shows no history of these charges and no where to cancel this. When I call I get no where with anyone and they can not find anywhere that I was charged.Business Response

Dear ******,
We have received your letter from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Having your concern addressed and resolved is our top priority.
Our records show you enrolled on October 12, 2022 and placed an order for the ******** System product with no subscription. The ******** System retails for $145.00 and you paid the $124.00 Perks Price (15% off retail) with no subscription. The Perks + Subscription price (25% off retail) you would pay $109.00. Also, the ******** System includes one ThermoFightXx and two ******** Gummies.
The IT WORKS! Perks Loyal Customer Program, gives customers who enroll with a Monthly Subscription a 25% discount on their first order. All orders processed through the Subscription option will also receive the 25% off retail discount. Unfortunately, your enrollment order already processed but no Subscription was active at the time of enrollment so we are not able change the discount on this order however, you can use the Monthly Subscription option to ensure you receive the maximum discounts on all future orders! The Monthly Subscription products and processing date can be changed or cancelled at any time up to the day before the chosen date so you are in full control of your subscription.
Further, we show you contacted customer service 8 days after your enrollment to have a monthly subscription for two ******** Systems which would be the correct number of products mentioned in your letter - 4 ******** Gummies & 2 ThermoFightXx. However, on October 20, 2022 you had cancelled the subscription. Please be advised the price for the enrollment order is correct (you paid $124.00 Perks Price 15% off retail) for 1 ******** System which includes 2 ******** Gummies and 1 ThermoFightXx. No more charges will incur since you cancelled your subscription.

Product was manufactured in 2020 and I have 29 of 30 packets to exchange or get a refund for because the product has a mold/mildew taste. **************** says they last for 2 years and refused to do anything because the product packaging was opened. If the product tasted this horrible I would not have purchased it multiple times over the 3 years I've ordered. It's literally about principal because it's a $10 bag.Business Response

It works consistently employs shameful tactics, appealing to me when I had just lost my husband and miscarried in a car accident. It works distributor preyed on me and used faith manipulation to enroll me. I was convinced to spend hundreds on auto shipments and buying rank. I was told repeatedly while in the business that recruiting was the only way to be successful and not to waste my time selling products. I never wanted to work in a recruitment based company like it works! The company makes lifestyle claims and uses gas lighting, threats, and manipulation to keep you in. I finally broke out of It Works! and I was blocked and ghosted by every person in the company. The mentality was extremely damaging and the products consistently are reported by customers to not work.Business Response

Business forced me to buy 3 months worth of items when I didn't want them after the first item was putrid & foul. It turned my stomach. I was forced to spend over $150 for a unusable product. They did send me a replacement if the first one, but it wasn't much better. They told me too bad, I still had to buy two more foul products. Inow have one item jar of gummies & two unopened jars that are stomach churning. After I bought the two additional forced purchases I called the company to stop the autoship & close my account. They refused to send written verification of the action, so if they try to extort more money I have no written proof of my request & their supposed action.Business Response

Dear ****,
We have received your letter from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Having your concern addressed and resolved is our top priority.
Your letter states you were forced to buy 3 monthsworth of items. Our records show that you bought the Slimming Gummies.
On July 3, 2022, we show you submitted a support ticket to customer service about the possibility of replacing the initial order due to the strong smell of vinegar.
On July 5, 2022, you were advised since this was your first order for the Slimming Gummies that they do contain apple cider vinegar in the formulation, and it is normal to have the smell and taste.
On July 9, 2022, you submitted a support ticket to say you understand that the gummies have some vinegar taste/smell but this has an off taste and would like a replacement order.
On July 11, 2022, you were advised our products have been tested under extreme temperatures and it does not change the effectiveness of the product. Extreme temperature changes are fine during transit and delivery time. We have processed a one-time courtesy replacement and we will not be able to process another replacement for the Slimming Gummies for this issue. Your replacement order is ********* and should arrive in 4-8 business days. You still have two more orders to process to complete your loyal customer program. You can always change the product if you choose. Your next shipment is scheduled to process on July 20th.
In closing, you were advised we would only allow one replacement order and therefore, you could switch to a different product. Pursuant to you request, your account has been cancelled effective September 13, 2022, and no more charges will incur. Unfortunately, we are unable to issue any refunds as we do not offer a money-back guarantee for any opened or used product. As a loyal customer,you do have the option of switching to an alternative product.
We wish you well.
