We ordered online meals FlexPro Meals
We wanted to try a different meal prep company from the one we previously ordered from. We placed the order on 8/29 and received the meals 2 days later. Realizing they immediately lock you into a reoccurring 4 week charge. So we tried canceling immediately.. we called multiple times leaving messages, emailed and DM them on their Instagram account.
Our card was charged a second time on 9/6 with no meals delivered and no email with any update on shipping . So we called out bank to stop payment going forward from FlexPro Meals.
This morning 9/11 we finally received and email from Horacio … he called us and basically said they were not refunding us for the meals we never received and he hung up on us . The first charge we receive the meals
We want a full fund on the second charge of meals we never received.Business Response

Thank you for contacting us here, we'd love to help. To assist you accurately further, could you please send us a screenshot with the visible dates when you were requesting to cancel your subscription? We're asking since we cannot find messages for cancellation request before September 6, 2023 and your direct message was taken only today hence we would need a valid request of canceling or messaging us with date/timestamps. Please know that any order already charged before cancellation is an order that will be delivered to you and will not be available for a refund. This is something shown on our terms and conditions ********************************************** and also on our FAQs *********************************************
I hope this info helps clarify and confirms the cancellation of your subscription. You should have also received an email confirmation of the cancellation. Sometimes that email get sent to spam or junk folder so it's worth checking those.
Thank you again for reaching out to us and we look forward to your screenshot/response.Initial Complaint

I received my very first delivery yesterday. It’s worth noting that I was also charged for another week of meals before I ever even received my first delivery, so I had no opportunity to form an opinion about the service before they took more of my money. The box was not properly sealed and the delivery person from FedEx seemingly dumped the box at my door, which caused the top to split and one of the meals to explode and get food all over the box and the remaining meals. There was also a dark hair visible on the food of the meal that broke. I have reached out attempting to cancel my subscription because I am appalled by the lack of care this company puts into their packaging and delivery methods. I have reached out twice now to cancel, both times I’ve been told an account manager would reach out to assist and I have not heard back. For a company that advertises “no commitment” and “cancel anytime”, they sure make it difficult to do so. Like the others below, if this is not resolved by tomorrow I will be reporting the charges as fraudulent with my bank. It should never EVER be this difficult to cancel a service.Business Response

I have been attempting to contact this business following all the advertised steps in order to cancel my subscription. I am due to be billed again in a few days and am going to have to contact my bank to report fraudulent charges if I am billed again. It is ridiculous how difficult they make it to cancel the subscription. Their marketing strategy seems pretty clear to lure you in with advertising and get as much out of you as they can after you are subscribed with no intention of allowing the cancellation. It is unfortunate that a good business model would have to turn to such shady tactics.
I have no problem paying for what I received thus far, but do not want to continue my subscription. Nobody will respond to my request to cancel other than the live chat where they say a customer service rep will call me, but they never call.Business Response

Hi this flex meals place is a scam my bank account is about to overdraft they won't take me off my plan and get me a refund. Iv been talking with them for 4 days now and nobody will speak to me on the phone. I feel like it's a scam cause the food is disgusting and taste horrible I have car insurance and a car knote and other responsibilities to take care of it's not fair to let them take advantage of people like this. Worst costumer service I have ever been thru. All I want is to have my subscription cancelled so I never have to deal with them the only option I have at this point is cancel my card and get a new one and risk missing a payment and having a late fee. I just want to be out of this bullshit and be left alone by flex meals please help me cancel my subscription so I can live my life without having them steal my money. Please and thank youBusiness Response

When trying to contact customer service you can't actually speak to anyone. You have to communicate through text. I contacted through text on 8/30/23 to cancel my subscription. I was then told i would be contacted by an account manager in 24 to 48 hours. I reach out again the following day. They said we already have you in the system some one will contact you. Later that day i get a text saying can you explain why you want to cancel, so i did. I receive no response until 9/5/23 again they said we are working on it. I checked the site and my subscription showed canceled. They still charged me and shipped me 21 more meals even though I asked them not to. Now I have 21 more meals I will be forced to eat. I texted 3 more times asking if they could cancel or return the food. I have heard nothing. Customer service is non existent with this company. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.Business Response

There’s no way to cancel in a timely manner without cancelling your card. tried to contact them 8/12 to cancel my subscription. (I have screenshots) no response. According to their voicemail, someone would call me back. But again I then got a notification that I was getting a delivery and they charged my card. So I sent a message again on 8/16. (Also I have screenshots of this) - No response. But I did get an email saying that my account was on hold until I review it. So I was thinking “that’s PERFECT!” Until yesterday 8/28 when I got an email saying they had charged my card & a delivery would be there in the morning. So I called 7 times. Their answering machine says to text or go online. So I went online - and it was a bot. So I texted the number on their website, the number on their voicemail & the number that a girl would text me from to find out if I received my meals. I spend 30 minutes straight trying to find human contact at flex pro. Still no response. I finally found an email address to someone in sales on the internet and i emailed them. They also didn’t respond. I almost started loading the internet with reviews but I waited til today to see if they would refund me because it is their mistake. But all I got was an email saying - we got your email - sorry, we cancelled it. Hopefully you come back.
No refund. No acknowledgment of ignoring all my past messages or apology that they trap people into a subscription. No apology from them that their website doesn’t have a cancel button on it. And I just learned from someone that used to work with them - they purposely do this and they also don’t care if they get a negative review because they will have someone post a fake review, and they will write a long apology response to your review to make the world think they are fixing your problem if you contact this specific person, But they don’t. This company wasn’t always like this. I used them before the pandemic & liked them.Business Response

I have reached out to the company via phone calls and now on-line chat and texting, but still zero responses, which is common occurance with FlexPro.
I would simply like to cancel my subscription because I do not care for the meals at all and dont' want to continue to receive these meals and waste money and resources.
Simple communication would got a long way in rectifying this situation, but FlexPro do not make it easy to contact anyone in the company, and the more research I have done shows they do not return at messages, especially in regard to canceling the order.
I have tried contacting this company several different ways, and now have to resort to BBB in helping complete this cancelation. There is zero customer service and quite frankly terrible.
I don't want these products any longer and want any and all future meals discontinued and not charge me for them. Just cancel immediately!Business Response

I have contacted the manager to cancel my subscription as per instruction and they promised they would do it but when I reminded them again, they disappeared without a trace. No one seemed to respond anymore, and my subscription is still active. It seems that they are trying to delay the cancellation to my next cycle to charge me more. The fact that customers cannot cancel by themselves for their own reasons and everyone just disappeared show that this business is a fraud. I will report this to my bank as well. Total experience with customer service is very unsatisfactory.Business Response

I have been trying to cancel my subscription because frankly, the food isn't that great and they do a terrible job of letting you know what's going on and like a lot of other people I realized they were attempting to charge me for a second batch. I tried to cancel several times. There is no option to do this on the site. They tell you to call during business hours. Only M-F or to talk to a chat bot which just tells you someone will contact you. Which they don't do, so I had to follow up again and again until finally someone sent me a text message and every time I said I wanted to cancel they would not listen and tried to sell me on more. The last I spoke to them was today which is a Friday so I didn't get another response after I, for the 8th time (all together) told them to cancel my order. I have emailed, texted and tried to call. This is ridiculous. And based on all of the other responses it seems like this is a major problem. How do they justify this?Business Response
