    Ordered 1 pair of socks. Went through a bunch of misleading screens to try and upgrade my order but declined. Then the order automatically submitted without my approval and 4 additional pairs of socks and other merchandise was added. Not contact to cancel order and had to fill out yet another form. There web site is very poorly designed and misleading do not order from them.

    I did not order the 1 pair I only ordered the 4 pack. I did not receive a 1 pair order but I was charged $24.04. I sent them an email and received this answer, which I consider to be a bait and switch... they did not make it clear that they were upselling the 4 pack only if you purchase the 1 pack. Their response:I have reviewed the details and confirmed that your order has gone through successfully. You have purchased the following items on 2025-05-26: ORDER ID: ************* 1 Pair of Compress Socks M $24.04 USD 4 Pairs of Compress Socks (Discounted) M $42.33 USD Please be informed that the discounted price of $42.33 is only an "upsell" and is only available after you have purchased the main product price of $24.04,

    We cancelled within minutes of the original order when the company relentlessly tried to up sale us. After numerous attempts to contact them, they tell us that the product had already been shipped. Within minutes of the order. They are a scam.

    On May28th, on the smooth relief website, I ordered 2 pairs of compression socks with a 70% discount. I noticed that if I ordered more compression socks, a further discount would be applied so I ordered 2 more pairs. I then proceeded to fill out mailing information but the system kept telling me that my address was not valid. I decided to get out of this order and try again, but only ordering the original 2 pair of socks, however the system would not allow this. I was stuck in the address screen. The only thing I could do is to X out of the website.I had no idea if an order went through or not until this morning when my ****** account revealed 3 invoices that were submitted for payment in the amount of $38.91, $27.71 and $6.93.I would like to pay for the original 2 pairs of compression socks, with the 70% discount applied, plus tax, shipping and handling. I would then like to be refunded for two pairs at the discounted price plus tax and shipping and handling charges. If by chance I do receive the order (see invalid address issue above) and there are more than the 2 pairs of socks in the package, I will be happy to return the extra pairs.Thank you for your review and response to my request. Unfortunately this has been a frustrating experience for me.

    I placed an order at 9:48 am on Friday May 31. When the charge for the order was far more than I expected, I immediately tried to cancel the order. The cancellation was processed at 10:35 am. I also sent multiple emails (at 10:35 am and 3:26 pm). These were all within the 12-hour cancellation window (see the photos attached). On Monday June 2, I received an email saying cancellation was not possible because the order was packed and on its way. This looks like a scam.

    ordered $17 in sox, immediately order was changed to $70 by subterfuge. This business is a well-engineered scam, multiple entities, no actual recourse for the scammed customer. I see hundreds of complaints the last 2 years of exactly this theft by subterfuge .
