Ordered pet meds for very sick pet. Recd a few bottles & then, right when my cat was passing, received a bottle flavored with bubblegum or something when I had asked for fish flavored - needless to say my cat wouldnt touch it. My cat passed, I called and told them they had gotten the order wrong, & they should refund my money; and also that they should cancel any scripts. I recd a bottle very soon after that - assumed it had been in process when I canceled. Went online to see my acct - there was no prescription active and I did not see auto refill on any historical prescription. Now Ive gotten the third bottle at $50 each. I called again, they claimed theyve canceled again and told me they dont provide refunds. Wedgewood has quite a deal going for themselves. All they have to do is feign incompetence, fail to log cancellation requests, and keep shipping and charging.Business Response

I am on the autorefill plan with Wedgewood Pharmacy, which was encouraged by the pharmacy and touted as a way to make sure I never run out of the medication my cat needs. I noticed this week that the pending charge for her latest order, which ran out yesterday (1/7), had disappeared off my card, but I had not received any communication from the pharmacy, and the website indicated it had not been prepared yet. When I called the Pharmacy, there was a message that the pharmacy was experiencing technical difficulties and I was told to go to the website to place orders. I used the contact us feature to inquire what was going on. I was informed that due to regulatory issues, they were behind and would ship my cat's medication by 1/18, a Thursday and more than 10 days after her medication ran out and on the other side of the country. Since shipping is usually a week, that could mean my cat has to go without medication she needs for almost 4 weeks. They did offer a 1 day *** shipping but *** does not operate on the weekends so it will be the 22nd or 23rd at the earliest that we can get this. Still over 3 weeks. This is not the first time an extensive delay has happened, and having to stop meds abruptly is not good for the cat's health. When I've complained about this before I've gotten the equivalent of a shrug and "so sad too bad". Their only solution is that I buy 2 months supply every month for a buffer. Ordering just a few pills more is charged the same as if I order the whole 30. If auto refill is encouraged with the promise that a pet won't run out of medicine, then they shouldn't have a fail rate of 50%. In the past 6 months, meds have been late by a week or more 3 times. To make matters worse, if they know there will be a delay, they do not alert customers on the autorefill plan, a known quantity, so we only find out when it's far to late to reduce the dosage gradually so there is no hard stop. This can cause lethal harm and they don't seem to care.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution does begin to address the concerns I had. I understand that the changes that are needed will take time to implement and so while the steps taken so far do not completely resolve the problems, it does begin to add some transparency and are good first steps. I am happy the company listened to my concerns and is moving to address them. My hope is that other customers will be able to benefit from this and have a much better experience than I did and that the company will continue work on their system.
Regards,

I saw on my online bank statement today a pending charge for $51.50 (July 21, 2023.) I didn't order anything so I called them. They said I had a prescription on an auto refill, but I never authorized that. I have phone records showing when I got the medicine, I called them on June 5th at 5:33pm and spoke to a veterinarian to ask questions about the medicine. I asked him "how long could it be stored in that container" as it would take months for us to use it. I was never told I was on auto refill. I asked if I could deny/return the unopened product, I was told no. I spoke to a "supervisor" and was told no refunds. How can I pay for something that I didn't authorize (auto ship was set by the pharmacy without my knowledge as they had the dosage as daily, and it's been over a month; how would I know how to set it for exactly the time to run out daily?). I have seen online that they refunded others for "a pet not liking the flavor" so I'm not sure why they cannot credit the $51.50, especially since they won't let me deny delivery and have it be an unopened package back to them.Business Response

I placed an order on July 7th for $119 for which I received an alert from my credit card. On July 8th another charge comes thru for *****. I call in to go over what this is for. I am told that they run an initial authorization for the full order then they run multiple more authorizations on top of that as they ship out which now doubles the amount they are holding on my card. This wouid appear to be fraudulent activity as they are authorizing credit card holds above and beyond the order approved. I went over this worh ******* that answered who stated this is how we do it. I am contacting a legal 3rd party as well to go over this practice.Business Response
