      I spent $500 at loveevery on a wooden shelf and trays to accompany it on August 25, 2024, over one month ago. The parts to the shelf arrived quickly, as well as the trays, but came without hardware. It took a few days for me to get a response from the business, and they admitted the shipment was lost and said they would send a new one. There was no option for a refund or expedited shipping. Finally, on September 19, a package arrived from lovevery. Instead of the hardware, the package included a random paper product from the company. Shipment marked as completed. After complaining again, I was not given anyone at the company I could speak with, they would not provide be with any information about the hardware so that I could purchase it myself and build the shelf, and instead they offered me a discount and said they would ship the hardware again. Today, October 2, they finally admitted the hardware is out of stock. I'm seeking help getting the product I purchased, or directly speaking to someone at the company to remedy this.

      Our Customer Experience team was able to connect directly with Ms. Cragin. We have expedited the needed hardware for the Playshelf and have communicated the tracking information to this customer. We are here to assist if further help with the Playshelf is needed, but consider the matter resolved at present.

      My child was born in November 2021. Prior to their birth, multiple individuals purchased us Lovevery play kits as a gift. Lovevery did not de-duplicate the gifts, so we started to receive multiple sets of the same play kits. When I contacted Lovevery about duplicated items, the customer associate canceled the duplicated order and created a coupon in the amount of the gift ($254.40). I asked the customer associate, "Can you use the $254 gift card to order us the next several gift sets after The Thinker, to ship at appropriate times? E.g. The Babbler, The Pioneer? I think the gift card will only cover those 2 and then leave $14 after?" The customer associate responded, "To begin a standard subscription, you'll just need to go to ******************************************************* to get started. Select "Get Started," enter your baby's name and birth date, and our recommended Play Kit for your baby's age will pop up automatically. If you have already received the displayed Play Kit, we recommend waiting to subscribe until 9 days before your little one reaches the next age stage. In this case that should be about November 30 for the Babbler. Click into the next step to proceed with payment options and check out - you'll be able to enter the gift card at that time." I followed the instructions I was given and entered the gift card. However, I could not check out without also providing a credit card. At no point in time was I informed that my credit card would be charged for an ongoing subscription after the gift card was exhausted. I just realized that my credit card has since been charged for the past two years without authorization, as the company continued to send playkits and charge my credit card directly. To describe Lovevery's business practices as deceptive would be a massive understatement. I have been charged $839 without my consent over the past two years.

      Lovevery advertises their product as a toy/app combo, however their app is only available on iOS leaving Android users with half of a product. Between registry gifts and products I have purchased myself I've spent over $500 dollars in products. I have contacted the company in several occasions through their email and Instagram accounts and they say that an android app is going to be released soon however no ETA is provided. Considering that the app access is part of the subscription, android users are being defrauded when they pay full price and get half product. The iOS app was released around October 2021, which gives the company almost 3 years to provide a version of their app on Android.

      We truly appreciate Ms. ******************** out about the Lovevery App. We understand how important it is to our customers, and we are actively working toward launching the Android version early next year. We also have reached out to **************** directly to resolve the concerns with her subscription account.

      On 8/26/2022 I placed an order for a years long shipment as a gift for a new baby. This order was to be sent in several separate shipments over the course of 1 year, and then it was too end. Unbeknownst to me, and without any prior notification, this company took it upon itself after 1 year to continue to send products and continue to charge my account accordingly. It is only recently I realized what they were doing when it came to my attention that this child was over the age of one. I reached out to the company and insisted they cancel my renewal, which they say they did, but was told there was nothing they would do about the extra items shipped because I didn't order the original items as gifts. Apparently when I clicked to place the order I agreed to automatic renewal even though that was not made clear at checkout. It seems it is buried in the fine print somewhere and not apparent to the average person. I have subscribed to many services over the years and always near the yearly anniversary of my signing up have been notified by that company that my card was going to be charged on a specific date unless I canceled. That was clearly not the case here and find this lack of transparency to be a less than honorable or ethical business practice.

      Date: 04/02/2024

      Our Customer Experience team was able to connect with ********************** directly regarding her subscription enrollment. We do our best to make the terms of the Play Kits subscription as clear as possible during the checkout process, and we are happy to resolve any subscriber concerns as quickly as possible. To the best of our knowledge, this matter has been resolved via personal correspondence with ********************** over email, and we are always here to assist if further help is needed in the future.

      I ordered a three box subscription based on their recommendation of my childs age. I Contacted them via their portal to email them for a response to ask if I could exchange the first box that I had received as my child will not obtain the boxes at the correct developmental stage they claim their boxes are for. He is already 2 months old and should have been started with the second box for months 3-4 as by the time he receives the 3-4 month box he will already be 4 months old. I had asked for someone to contact me back regarding either an exchange or having the next box sent early to which I have not received a reply. I received the automated response that I would hear from someone soon and to not send multiple emails/requests. It has been a week and a half since I placed my order and it has been almost a week and I still have not received any response from the company.

      We were gifted two, one year subscriptions via our baby registry. At the time of activation my husband reached out to their customer service to ensure we would recieve two years of subscription box's vs two sets of the first year. The customer service rep told my husband he made an override to the system and it was taken care of. After my son's 1st birthday we never recieved any second year boxes. We reached out and were told we would have to pay for the 2nd year. We provided proof of 2 subscriptions but were told no and to take it up with the registry company. It seems whatever override the original representative did messed something up and the company is refusing to honor what was purchased and paid for. The subscription is under my husbands email ********************** and proof of the two gifts is below. This is the same proof provided previously and the same information shared with the original service rep. *** can clearly see it is for two, one year subscriptions.

      Business Response

      Date: 12/06/2023

      We looked carefully into ******************** order history, both in our internal systems as well as with the company that facilitates registry gifts. To the very best of our knowledge, the gifts given to **************** were each for 6 months, for one full year of Play Kits (6 total kits). Additionally, the registry company only offers Play Kits gifts in 6-month increments, so it is not possible to gift a full year of Play Kits in a single gift. We sincrely apologize for any confusion around this experience, and have done our best to ensure that there are no outstanding gifts that have not yet been activated.

      I ordered the babbler play kit ($120) based on my daughters age and added the thinker play kit ($80) to my order after it was recommended by Lovevery. *** received the thinker play kit but not the babbler one that I ordered but Ive been charged for both ($214 with taxes). Ive tried contacting Lovevery twice but get a generic, automated response. Theres no contact number for the organization on their website. I want them to send me the play kit I paid for.

      I received a charge for $330 on my credit card which I believe to be a large overpayment. I have tried several times to get more detailed information about the nature of the charges but as there is no direct customer service phone it is impossible to speak with someone. Ive emailed and left messages but no one has contacted me to resolve my issue

      I have been a customer for 2 years and Ive loved this service, but Ive recently fallen on hard times and havent been able to afford this subscription. I finally got to the point where I could afford it and scheduled a shipment. On September 4th, I was billed for my daughters subscription, the same day that I have a major life expense. Immediately, I sent an email to cancel order #*******. I could not afford it at the time and wanted to switch my delivery date. Their website says not to send multiple messages, but to this day (September 10th), I have not received a follow up email. Initially, i chalked it up to the Labor Day holiday, but this is ridiculous. The package continued to be shipped, and was delivered yesterday. Overnight, on September 9th, I received an email that ANOTHER package has been shipped. Order number *******. What the hell? My account was already overdrawn from the first shipment 4 days ago, and Ive incurred overdraft fees that have put me deeper in the hole. Now, its the weekend and their business is closed. I am seeking a FULL refund of both charges immediately. The total is ****** (****** for each shipment and $70 in overdraft fees that incurred due to unresponsiveness. In the meantime, I will dispute the charges with my bank, since they are so unresponsive and have no phone number (which I think is ludicrous for a subscription company that involves debiting other peoples money without so much as a courtesy email before the charge). I have sent this same email to the company. Maybe theyll respond. Thank you.
