We ordered the Flexpro meals a few months back. We had started to get backed up on them so I skipped some of the weeks. My husband and I now decided that we just want to cancel the subscription. I have been trying in vain talk to someone to help me cancel it. The number you call tells you to either text them at the number they provide you or to chat with them on a live chat located in the lower right corner of their web page. I have tried texting them numerous times and didn't get a response until I said I was going to contact my Bank to put a stop on the debits. They text back saying someone would be contacting me. I'm still waiting. I tried reaching out to them via chat and was also told someone would be contacting me. I'm still waiting. I contacted my Bank to see if they would stop the payments but they said because it's a debit they can't stop the payments. I'm tired of having to keep bumping the delivery out a week. If I miss the window to push the delivery out another week then the meals will start again and I will be charged. I don't need a refund as I have the meals all I want is to cancel my order and be done with this company.Business Response

Flex pro llc maintains a hidden contract that is not posted conspicuously in clear language that requires someone to engage in 4 transactions with them when the customer is made to think they are paying for one transaction. It is all but impossible to get a subscription canceled. Further, even if the customer cancels, they are required to pay the remaining transactions in the subscription. This is immoral, disingenuous, and seems illegal. In addition, my meals were rancid, which tracks with the 19 Health Code violations that the Kansas City Health Department found with their meals. The food is disgusting and I would not have bought the first box if the language wasn't purposely manipulative to trick customers into having to buy 4 orders.Business Response

I've been trying to cancel my subscription but every time I contact the live chat it tells me to call a number. A robot answers the phone and says to contact the live chat. I feel like they are trying to scam people with this. No customer service at all and i still have not been able to cancel my subscription. I just want them to respond and cancel my subscription so i'm not charged anymore.Business Response

$98.59 on 11/24.
I ordered meals from FlexPro meals on 11/24. I wanted to try out the meal prep service. I quickly decided this was not the right fit for me. The food was not good/overpriced. I tried to cancel my subscription but customers are not allowed to do so on their online account. I reached out to the chat bot which stated I would have to wait for an account manager to reach out to cancel. The account manager did not reach out to me until I was persistent. When they did reach out via text, I stated I would like to cancel. They offered 30% and I declined and stated once more I would like to cancel. The rep then stopped responding (I have text proof). I do not want to be charged the next payment of $241 and I cannot get ahold of a representative. Furthermore, the phone number they provide on the site tells you to go to the chat bot and then hangs up.Business Response

I had purchased my the pro meal on Nov 2nd and received my regular sized meals. The portion size left my starving so I decided to upgrade to the larger portion sized meals on Nov 8th.
The larger portion sized meals still left me hungry. In addition, the quality of the food decreased and I would have issues digesting. On November 14th, I contacted FlexPro to cancel my subcription as I no longer wanted to use their service. I've been told that I was not "allowed" to because I was locked in a 4 week subscription and was offered a % off.
On Nov 29th, I contacted Flex Pro after receiving my 3rd week box that I was really unhappy with their service and that I did not want to receive my 4th week box and wanted a refund. I was just told that again, this is not applicable and that I would have to basically, proceed with something I am unhappy with. Not to mention, I let the account manager know they're advertising their meals at 372 G per serving but WITH the container it measures out to 336 G per serving. In addition, the % DV is including for nutrient which is not adding up to what is advertise.
The account manager told me that he has to charge my card one more time and then my account will be canceled - after explaining how unhappy I am with their product and service.Business Response

They have intentionally made cancelling orders so difficult that it’s absurd. You click cancel on the side and it says to call, you call and you get an auto message that says go to the site and chat, you go back to the site and try the chat and they tell you you might be able to cancel in 72 hours or so if they get around to calling you back.
Honestly, I’ve never ran into this level of chicanery from a business like this before. I will be letting everyone I know not to do business with them.Business Response

A few months ago accidentally signed up for this meal service which wouldn't let me cancel my order even 20 minutes after ordering it because of how the create account button and order button were the same. I had to call them multiple times to even contact someone to help me as they ignored my call multiple times and when I finally did they told me because I took an influencer sponsorship I now had to buy at least four boxes before I could cancel. I tried talking to my bank and they couldn't help me so I'm not sure what else to do, I don't even really want my money back that much I just want to be allowed to cancel my order.Business Response

I canceled my trial subscription in the time allotted. ******* at FlexPro confirmed via SMS text ************ that my trial was canceled (one time order of $151.97) and that future orders would be canceled.

I am having much difficulty as many others cancelling my subscriptions. Per the websites instructions, I have emailed, used the company chat, and called customer service. All avenues perused multiple times. I am told they will respond within 24-48 hours and I have yet to receive a response. The website claims there in no commitment and easy cancellation with a phone call Monday thru Friday. My choices are to get the subscription cancelled or cancel my credit card and lose all my points.
