We're truly sorry to hear about the difficulties and frustration you've experienced while attempting to cancel your subscription with Flex Pro Meals. It's very concerning to learn about the challenges you've faced, not only with our phone system but also with our online and text messaging services. This is far from the seamless and respectful customer experience we aim to provide.
Firstly, let us assure you that we take your feedback seriously. It's clear there has been a significant breakdown in communication and process on our end. The scenario you've described is unacceptable, and I understand how it could give the impression that we're making it difficult for customers to cancel their subscriptions, which should never be the case.
To address your immediate concern, we can confirm that your subscription is cancelled, effective immediately. You will not receive any further charges or shipments from us. Regarding the disputed amount of $148.88, we are initiating a refund request for this amount to your account. Please allow 7-10 business days for this refund to be processed and returned to your payment card. We're also reviewing our customer service protocols and systems to understand how your experience fell short and to prevent similar issues from happening in the future. This includes ensuring our automated systems work as intended and improving our response times and procedures for subscription cancellation requests.
As a gesture of our commitment to making things right, and in appreciation of your patience and feedback, you will still receive your first and only order, in addition to the billing adjustment. This offer is made in the hope of mending our relationship and, perhaps, welcoming you back as a customer under better circumstances in the future. Please expect a confirmation email shortly with the refund request and you should have also received an email confirmation that your subscription was canceled last February 28, 2024 - sometimes that email gets routed to your spam or junk folder so it's worth checking them as well. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to contact us directly at *************************. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've experienced. We are committed to earning back your trust and proving that we can do better.Initial Complaint

On 2/23/24 I contacted the company via email and text in order to cancel an upcoming delivery. I agreed to a reduced charge but then was charged the full amount. This is the second time this company has done this. I then sent them a text message that this was not what was agreed and to cancel the order, close the account, and refund my money. They have not responded for three days. I sent them multiple emails and text messages which they didn't respond to. The website says that you can call them but it is a recording directing the customer back to the chat that doesn't exist. This company is very unethical.Business Response

Ordered meals from this company.
Very poor quality for the price. False image advertising.
This food is packed full of sodium and not healthy as they claim. Watery and mushy like canned food.
They will not cancel my subscription even though I do not want to continue eating this food.
It is clear they want to lock you in to 4 weeks so they can make money off you
Will not give me a refund for order not yet sent but billed from my account.Business Response

I ordered a meal plan that included 21 meals from them and planned to cancel the subscription as I just wanted to try it out. There is nowhere on their website to cancel a subscription which is absurd. Additionally when someone called me about it they informed me I signed up for a "pro plan" that is a minimum of 4 plans I have to buy. Nowhere on my account does it show this is true nor does it allow me to change it. It automatically checks the pro plan when you first go to the website and you have to uncheck it. He wouldn't let me cancel no matter what I said, even though any reputable company would let you change your plan if you wanted or cancel. If you call the number back I was called from no one picks up and no one responds to texts, you have to hope they call you. There's no company email either. I will continue to delay meals for the rest of my life if I have to as I do not wish to do business with this company any further.Business Response

Unable to cancel through email, chat, or text. Says that an account manager will get back to me in 24-48 hours. I have used other meal services and they allow one to cancel online without contacting anyone. There should be no wait. The one item I have eaten so far was a fudge cake that is completely dried out. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.Business Response

I placed an order on Friday 12/15. On Saturday i received confirmation and a text messages asking when a good time to call would be. They called and informed me that i was on a 4 plan payment which i would have to pay weekly. I told them that i did not want to do that and to cancel my order all together. The receptionist then hung the phone up on me and i have not been able to get in touch with anyone since. I've tried texting the number they provide and I've tried contacting them through there website which says "We're away right now, but we'll get back to you as soon as we can." all of the time. They charged my debit card and i DO NOT WANT THIS SERVICE. I'm starting to think that this is some kind of scam.Business Response

Hi *******, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our customer service.
Firstly, we would like to apologize for the abrupt phone call disconnection. This is certainly not how we aim to handle customer interactions, and we understand how frustrating it must have been for you. We are reviewing this incident with our customer service team to ensure it does not happen again in the future.
Regarding your cancellation request, we deeply regret any miscommunication that may have occurred during the initial conversation. Our intention is to provide flexible meal plan options to accommodate our customers' preferences. However, we understand that the weekly payment schedule may not suit everyone hence as per your conversation today with your Account Manager, ******, you were offered to pause your billing, applied a $25 credit to all your 3 upcoming billing cycles, and adjust your billing frequency so that you have enough time to discover your favorite meals and to compensate for the misunderstandings. We're truly sorry for any inconvenience caused.Please know that we are actively working on improving our response time and availability to provide better support to our customers. We value your feedback, as it helps us improve our services and ensure a positive experience for our customers.
If there's anything else we can assist you with or if you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly via our dedicated customer service at [email protected]. We appreciate your patience and understanding.Customer Answer

Flex Pro Meals is making it impossible to cancel my subscription. When you select cancel on the website, it says to call. When you call it says to text or use the chat feature. When you text they don't respond. There is no chat feature. I have emailed with no response.
All I need is to cancel my subscription. The reason is that it was advertised as $6.99 meals for life. However my plan is $72.93/week for 7 meals. Which quick math will tell you is not $6.99 per meal.Business Response
Date: 12/15/2023
***** Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your experience with Flex Pro Meals. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Regarding the lack of response to your text and email inquiries, we reviewed your initial billing inquiry via SMS. We apologize for the lack of response from our customer service team. However, upon your email to Helena on Wednesday 12/13/2023 and you received a response within 3 hours, and the following day, your cancellation request was granted. You were also informed via SMS and email yesterday in regard to the cancellation however we haven't heard back from you for further acknowledgment. Be assured that we value your time and are actively working on reducing response times.
We apologize for any confusion regarding the pricing of our meals. While our $6.99 per meal offer is initially intended for our introductory offer for Pro Plans, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding or error in the pricing of your plan. Though your subscription has been canceled, we have notified our IT department for further evaluation of the pricing. We can confirm that you were not able to utilize our coupons to match your order hence you were billed in the normal price of our discounted meals for life ProPlan for 7 meals. Please note that all customers are responsible in placing their first order coupons and they are only valid for first time orders and we are sorry that you were not able to include it in your first order. We understand your frustration and once again apologize for the inconvenience caused. At Flex Pro Meals, we strive to provide excellent customer service and we are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Should you decide to give us one more try, please reach out to [email protected] and we'll be more than happy to set up your account as seamless as possible.

I have tried to cancel my subscription for two days now. I’ve sent multiple text messages as it says to on their website and when I reply back I don’t get a response. I have used the live chat several times and each time it says to wait for a phone call from an agent. I needed to cancel my subscription before the next order was shipped because I can’t afford another order. It’s absolutely ridiculous how hard it is to cancel this subscription.Business Response

Canceling is predatory you literally have no way to cancel yourself.
The website will send you to a phone number that will not pick up and will not text back. I’ve been trying to cancel for over a week. They said they will call me but they won’t.
It’s literally a consumer trap to keep extracting money from you. This is done by design so they keep charging you.
I have to keep logging in to push the delivery or I will be charged hundreds of dollars a week. I don’t have time for this.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: it took me going to the BBB to cancel my account. This doesn’t resolve the main issue of it being purposely difficult so this will affect any Americans who try this service. It should be easy to cancel for anyone that doesn’t want this service on your website and if you provide a phone number it shouldn’t auto disconnect regardless of which option is selected. Also your chat service employees should have the ability to cancel not schedule a callback that never materializes.
