    Hi ****, 

     

    Please accept our sincerest apologies for the delay in our response and in taking care of your concern and request. We recently upgraded to a new system and that change led to the unforeseen closure of our support tickets thus some emails were closed unanswered. We are truly sorry for the unfortunate experience and the inconvenience that it had caused. 

     

    In the interim, I tracked your order and I can confirm that the rest of your order is still on their way to you. Since the Crystal Elixir Water Bottle is one of our fast-moving items, we had to ship them to from a different warehouse to lessen the shipping timeframe instead of waiting for the new stocks to arrive before shipping them out. 

     

    You can track the progress of your shipment here: ********************************************************************************************************************************************

     

    I have also sent this confirmation as a response to your emails and provided an additional offer with regard to your initial request that was missed. Attached is also the screenshot of the said email and we will be waiting for your response to proceed with fulfilling the said offer if you agree. 

     

    Again, we are truly sorry for your unfortunate experience and we are looking forward to making things right. 

     

    A blessed holiday season to you and yours.

    Hi *****,


    Please accept our sincerest apologies for the delay in our response and if we may have missed to take care of your concern in a timely manner. 


    We recently upgraded to a new system and that change led to the unforeseen closure of our support tickets. This unfortunately caused delay in taking care of some issues and responding to some of the inquiries and concerns in a timely manner.


    In the interim, we sincerely apologize for the delay in shipping some of the items in both orders MS903223 and MS937436. Unfortunately, I am not showing any recent movement in the tracking information and I am afraid that the package may have been lost in the shipping process. We are truly sorry for this. Please know that this is an exceptional circumstance and is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We are committed to providing the highest quality products and services, therefore I have refunded the following orders which you did not receive as per your request:


    MS937436 - White Phantom Quartz Cluster - **** - **** Lbs - $33.11
    MS903223 - Witchcraft Kit Box and ********************************************************** style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">
    Both amounts should reflect on your bank statement within the next **** business days. I have also sent you an email confirming both refunds and have attached the refund receipts here. 

     

    Again, we sincerely apologize for the unfortunate experience and we are looking forward to making things right. 

     

    A blessed holiday to you and yours!

    I have tried on several occasions to cancel my membership through the company's website, but the option to do so is not working. Every time I call the number listed on their website it rings and rings until going to voicemail (which I have left but have never received a response). I have also tried to use their "contact us" option on the website, but once again have not received a response. I'm a little concerned now especially after seeing so many other BBB complaints.

    Hello, I have had so many issues with this company Mindfulsouls. I almost feel this company is a fraud. Last night I magically recieved $130 charge and had to block them from my PayPal. I have called and left so many messages. I have emailed more than 1 issue. First they sent me fragrance oil and said that It was essential oil. 2nd they told me my payment wouldnt go through and wouldnt help me or let me change info. Then finally I made a new account they sent me the same stuff than last night I was charged 2x for 2 subscriptions. This hasnt even just been over 3 months its been probably around 6. I call I email nothing gets resolved.

    Business Response

    Date: 12/10/2022

    Hello ******, 

     

    We are truly sorry to hear that you have been disappointed with the ******** oil that you received from your first box and about the recent charges. Customer satisfaction is our utmost priority and this is certainly not the experience that we would like you to have. Therefore we reviewed your account and can see that we have recently contacted you about the charges and the duplicate subscription that *** have been added by mistake. 

     

    Please see the copy of the email correspondence attached. Having said that we believed that your concerns were resolved via email and the 2nd order were canceled and refunded accordingly. Additionally, while the duplicate charge was refunded successfully, we also acknowledge that you were disappointed with the ******** Oil that came with your first box. Please know that we are already on top of the situation and have coordinated with our supplier about the matter. 

     

    As a courtesy for this inconvenience caused, we have also added a 30% discount towards your next renewal. Again, we are sorry for the unfortunate experience and we appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter. 

     

    Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns and we'll be glad to  help! 

     

    Blessings and love!
