  I ordered for a product from this company Healthy Trends LLC (Golden after 50), owner ***************************. The advertisement I saw to order the product gave the impression they were behind in production so we should patiently wait for the product. So when it was over 3 months and I still hadn't received it, i was just patiently waiting. I contacted them after around 7 months (June 2023) to say I had waited long enough and still haven't gotten the product so they should issue a refund. The customer service guy checked from their system said its showing that the product was never delivered to me and so he would escalate it for approval of my refund. I still haven't gotten the refund so I called again and spoke to a manager ******** (#*****) who says so long as its outside ***************************************************************************** not she can't give me a refund or reship the product even if they failed to deliver the product. This is so unfair because 90 day return policies start from the day the product was delivered to 90 days after. So with this policy of theirs that says so long as its 90 days after i ordered the product whether they delivered it or not they cant reship or refund, it means the company can just decide not to ship products and wait for the 90 days to be over and then say they cant refund or reship. How fair is this policy? I never got the product in the first place to talk of a 90 day return or refund window. I am reporting this company and its owner *************************** - this is so unfair to customers and if they keep this policy they can just rip customers off. This company must either ship the product to me or refund.

  Hi Solace, 

  Given the timing of when the product was ordered (October 2022) and the first time we became aware of a potential issue (June 2023), our customer service team was unable to issue you a refund via the system. We have spoken to the team and have made them aware to escalate these type of issues for further review in the future. 

  We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and have written you a check for the refund amount that will be sent to the address provided during our call earlier. In addition, we have reached out to our fulfillment center to send you the previously placed order (on us). We should have respective tracking available within the next ***** hours. 

  For any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to our customer service team at ************** or via email at **********************************************************

  Thank you and hope you have a great day!

  I got information from Golden After 50 about their BPS-5 it is an advanced blood pressure supplement. They promised if the product does not work they will refund the money. I bought the product and after taking it for a while I realized it did not work for me. I called them they said send back the rest of bottles. That was last September and I still have not gotten my refund. Every time I call they want the tracking number which I do not have. I would like to get my money back please.

  We apologize for your frustration regarding the order placed on 7/31/2022. Our records indicate you first contacted us on 9/20/2022 to return the product for a refund which was still within our 90-day return policy. We provided you with a return merchandise authorization (***) number and corresponding instructions to return as requested. We explained that we are not responsible for lost or stolen items, so we advised to send all returned items using some type of delivery confirmation system and get a tracking number, to ensure proper delivery and if anything happened in transit, we can still honor the refund if provided with the tracking.
  
  You contacted us again on 10/7/2022 inquiring about when you would receive your refund, we informed you that we had not received your return yet and asked you to provide us with your return tracking number for us to review to confirm the return so we could process your refund. You were unable to provide it at that time and we advised you to look for the receipt or contact the post office to obtain the tracking and call back if we still had not received the return by then. You contacted us again on 11/8/2022 informing us you could not locate the tracking in which we explained that we still had not received the return but once we do your refund would be processed within **** business days upon receipt of it, you stated you would call back for an update and we recommended continuing to look for the tracking in the meantime.***** contacted us multiple times since then for updates and we explained that we still had not received anything and unfortunately could not issue a refund without the tracking. At this time we still have not received a return or a tracking number from you to confirm it was sent back so no refund has been issued.
  
  Please see attached copy of our return policy listed on our website, and a copy of the *** and return instructions read verbatim on your customer service call on 9/20/2022 explaining the process to return and obtaining a tracking number.
  
  We again apologize for any frustration and hope to resolve this matter with you, so please contact us by phone or by email with any further questions or concerns!

  I am rejecting this response because: They told me to include the *** number which I did. They did not tell me I needed the tracking number as well. When they asked for it the thing had faded. I called the post office they could not provide it. They boast their product works so why cant they return my money because it did nothing for me. They assigned me a represented me with a contact we she advised me to increase the dosage but nothing worked. After I returned the product she refuse to answer my call. I called her and left messages but no call back. It is all a gimmick to keep my money. It is only fair that they repay me. 

  
  Sincerely,

  Dissatisfied Customer

  I just placed an order for BPS 5 twelve hours ago. I phoned their number and attempted to cancel. The female stated that she was unable to. I said, "I know you have not sent that order out in 12 hours." In the video, the speaker spoke about supply and demand, and I repeated cancel order." I was told that shipping had to be notified, and an automatic refund would be made if they could stop the shipment. However, she said that she sent an email, but they had no way to give her the status of my request. Then she wanted to offer me a 25% discount on the order I placed to get me to continue with the shipment. I told her no! Please give me my refund. I said I would call her back in 24 hours. I don't expect my order to be canceled. I told her if she sent the order, I would refuse it
