      This is fine for the monthly charge for subscription even though I never signed up for it.

      But, I still have not received my refund for the items that I purchased and did not want.

      The refund was for $56 Reference number ******* Dated February 3, 2025.

      I am still waiting for this refund.

      Please help.

      DearLisa,

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and were truly sorry for the inconvenience youve experienced.

      After reviewing your account, we found that a subscription to the Shapermint Club was initiated on December 22, 2024. This subscription resulted in a monthly charge of $4.99.

      Please note that the subscription has since been canceled as of July 16, 2025. As a gesture of goodwill, we have approved a refund for three months of charges, totaling $14.97. The refund is currently being processed and should reflect in your original payment method within 510 business days.

      We sincerely apologize for any confusion or frustration this may have caused. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out to us directly.

      I am rejecting this response because: this order has become very frustrating. I do not want to buy anything further from Shapermint. I should not have had to go to the BBB to get a response back. As a result I've lost faith in doing further business with Shapermint. Looped emails and automated phone calls are not helpful and are making this situation worse.  I just want my $19.99 refund back. Please credit my original payment method.

      Complaint: 23601317

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I see no acknowledgment on their part that they plan on changing the way they upsell.  I am no genius but I have worked in IT for well over 30 years and I feel like a total fool that I was taken in by their methods of upselling.  I feel if I am deceived like this, I know others can be tricked as well.

      Next, after I submitted by BBB complaint I realized I was enrolled in their club.  I remember something about this but I truly believed I was just signing up so I could keep track of my account.  I realized that I signed up for a free 30 day trial of the club and would be charged $4.95 after that.  Once again, I believe this is another hidden in plan sight avenue to take people's money.

      Last, as I was going through I paid using PayPal.  The notification said something to the effect not to worry, I could always contact ****** to get them removed.  I never do anything like that but I really wanted to try one of their bras.  I looked all through ******, there is nothing to stop them from further charging my account, there is no avenue like they said.  I went into my account (that's when I discovered I had signed up for their club which I opted out of) and found no where that I could remove my ****** authorization.

      With all of that, I am going to get the product, try it, send back for a refund anything I don't want (or try, I'm thinking that will not be any easy process) and I have accepted that part of it but I do not accept the way they do business.  I believe they are very smart but not ethical.  I would highly encourage them to review their standards and policies and I would like someone from the BBB to actually blindly go into and order something from them to acknowledge what I have been saying.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is almost satisfactory to me.

      I received my bras and I am very happy with them.  To test your sincerity of improving your upsell and account creation I will place another order in the future.  If I see no improvement then I will contact the BBB and file another complaint and go further.  I truly hope you are sincere, I have read many reviews and see others have problem with your methods.  

      I do like the product and was hoping you would mend your ways.  Rather than deception, Im hoping you will stand by your product and gain customers through legitimate methods.

      Sincerely,
