  I ordered Your Plan: Uniquely Yours Max+ Premium Plan: Men, Pick Meals on July 28th ( 8 days ago as time of writing) and received it on August 2nd ( 3 days ago as of time of writing) for a total of $463.78 under Order Number: *********** I found that after a couple days of Nutrisystem it's not for me as I was feeling generally unwell and not enjoying the food. After calling and attempting to use the 7 Day money back guarantee as listed here: ***************************************************************** I am being told that even under the 7 day guarantee I cannot get a refund for my frozen food (which is the majority of an orders cost). I returned the non-frozen foods (paid $30 in shipping for a $140 something refund which I have to call back for the 4th time to get since the last rep I spoke to said the package hadn't moved enough to prove I returned them).Based on my understanding of the 7 day guarantee it states: "Frozen foods are not returnable or refundable except under the Money Back Guarantee." but, all of the reps I've spoken to will not give me the time of day to refund me under the 7 day money back guarantee. I would like a refund for my Frozen foods as advertised.

  I'd like to add, after speaking with another representative (who had an attitude and was extremely rude, though I'm sure IF Nutrisystem responds they'll say they listened to the call and the rep was sunshine and rainbows) they informed me I'm ineligible for the 7 day money back guarantee because 5 years ago I signed up for a food plan with a company under the name of Soutbeach Diet, and apparently Nutrisystem bought them out a few years prior. Even though I had to go through the process of creating an account with Nutrisystem when I signed up, they are claiming it's not my "first time" ordering with them.
  
  I spoke with my credit card company and filled them in with my experience and they advised a charge back would be the best way to move forward. I received my $149 refund for returning the dry food and my credit card company began the process of a $313 charge back. This will still take 5+ business days to find the results of.
  
  I find Nutrisystem refusing to help because I used a company that doesn't even operate under the same name (5 years ago. Who no longer sells any products today, and who's ******** page hasn't seen a post since 2021) scummy and anti-consumer. I would've never signed up if I had known the 7 day money back guarantee didn't apply to me I would've never ordered.

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Max+ Premium Program on 7/28/2023, taking the auto-delivery option when signing up. We disclose all aspects of the Program on the checkout page immediately next to the checkout button. Customers may cancel at any time but customers who do not cancel their auto delivery program before an order begins processing are responsible for the frozen food portion of their order as frozen food is non-refundable. A money back guarantee applies for customers placing their very first order with Nutrisystem. However, as detailed in our Terms and Conditions and throughout the Nutrisystem website, returning customers are ineligible for the money back guarantee after an initial purchase of a 4-week Nutrisystem plan.
  
  On 8/4/2023, the customer called into customer service to cancel the program. The agent went over different offers with the customer so the customer could stay on program and explained the early cancellation fee.  The customer declined all offers and asked to have his auto-delivery cancelled.  The auto-delivery has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will ship out.  On 8/4/2023 the customer called back to customer service and asked for a refund on his 7/28/2023 order.  The agent gave the customer an RMA# and instructions to return the non-frozen food for a partial refund.  The refund was issued on 8/7/2023, the funds were issued to the credit card on file and should appear in 3 to 5 business days and show on the customers statement within 1 to 2 billing cycles.  The customer is not eligible for the money back guarantee as he is a returning customer from 2018. Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: Business claims I'm a returning customer from 2018 but fails to mention it's from a company they purchased, they never included any information informing me I'd be considered a returning customer due to this, and YET THEY REQUIRED me to create a NEW account when I purchased their services (using the same email I use for all accounts).
  
  My credit card company is handling this as my concern is the claim that "NEW CUSTOMERS" are eligible for a 7 day money back guarantee. Yet somehow having to sign up for a Nutrisystem account doesn't make me a "New" customer since I used the product of a company they seemingly shutdown 2+ years ago and were not upfront that this would disqualify me from the money back guarantee.

  Customer service is seemingly something Nutrisystem isn't interested in based on their poor reviews, pushy and rude customer service agents, and claiming that customers are ineligible for refunds because they use a company Nutrisystem owns without knowing that fact.

  We have provided all information regarding this matter in our initial response.    As all calls are recorded for quality assurance and training purposes, customer service complaints and concerns are reviewed on an individual basis and handled accordingly.   The customer ordered with Nutrisystem  on September 16, 2018, selecting the Uniquely Yours Plus Program. Due to a platform changeover, customer profiles that did not have active auto-deliveries were archived, which required returning customers to create another profile when signing back up. This did not impact the customers status as a returning customer. As stated in our initial response and consistent with our Terms and Conditions, as a returning customer the customer is ineligible for the Money Back Guarantee.  We consider this matter closed and wish the customer all the best.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  Nutrisystem comes across as a pretty anti-consumer and anti customer service oriented company. I'll ensure I make my feelings known with reviews (like most other that use their service). They could've just provided a refund OR better yet, be up front about their policies and what qualifies as a "First time" user. I will not accept any of their responses unless it includes a refund.

  My order was missing all 20 breakfast. The snack bars were crushed/melted/deformed, 5 of the mashed potatoes were crushed and leaking all over the box, and the dinner items did not what was ordered. When I call the person said they would resend the breakfasts and issue a $50 credit. Meanwhile we cannot continue the diet program BECAUSE WE HAVE NO BREAKFAST. A $50 credit against this epic failure and ruination of an order is an insult. Loyal customer lost.

  Business Response

  Date: 08/21/2023

  On 8/4/2023, the customer called customer service regarding missing breakfast items.  The missing items were subsequently delivered on 8/9/2023 with a credit for the inconvenience.  The customer, however, should not have had any interruption in the diet program as on the Nutrisystem program, customers can use flex meals to help get them through the diet program if an issue arises. These flex meals are outlined in the program materials that are on the **** blog and on the **** app.  An email was sent to the customer on 8/8/2023 recapping that replacements were sent out and would deliver on 8/9/2023.  We trust that this provides a satisfactory resolution to the issue.  Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

  No one canceling this subscription after 4 attempts. I want to cancel.

  Business Response

  Date: 08/09/2023

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Max+ Program on 4/30/2023, taking the auto-delivery option when signing up. Customers may cancel at any time but an early cancellation fee applies if a customer cancels before receiving their second shipment. We disclose all aspects of the Program on the checkout page immediately next to the checkout button.

  On 6/6/2023, the customer called into customer service to cancel the program. The agent went over different offers with the customer and the customer accepted to delay her auto-delivery until 7/26/2023.  On 7/23/2023, the customer called into customer service,  was reminded about the early cancellation fee, and the agent went over different offers so the customer could stay on program.  The customer stated she would call back after she decides which offer she would take.  On 7/27/2023, the customer called back, agreed to take an offer, and decided to call again to cancel since she had accepted the second shipment and would not be charged the cancellation fee.   On 8/4/2023, the customer called to cancel and did not want any additional offers. The agent cancelled the auto-delivery on the call, but the customer disconnected before the cancellation confirmation number could be given. The auto-delivery has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will ship out.  We trust that this explanation provides a satisfactory resolution to the issue.  Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

  I ordered the nutrisystem food diet plan to lose weight, but the food is really bad and I tried to cancel it. The first time I chatted with customer service they asked me if I wanted to switch to another plan, etc., etc., etc., and finally managed to manipulate me into keeping my account open, but delay the next shipment. After thinking about it, I wanted to cancel. I tried contacting them two or three more times and they asked me same questions offering to change the plan, asked me how much weight I lost, did I want to speak with their health coach, and then after I repeatedly told them I want to cancel they said Id be charged $125 to cancel!! I cant afford this. If they charge me my rent check will bounce.My account is still open and I cant afford to cancel it. Can you please help? I just want my account closed. Theyre claiming this cancellation fee is per their auto ship policy but I didnt sign up for auto ship.

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Program on 6/23/2023, taking the auto delivery option when signing up. Customers may cancel at any time but an early cancellation fee applies if a customer cancels before receiving their second shipment. We disclose all aspects of the Program on the checkout page immediately next to the checkout button. Prior to processing an auto delivery program order, customers are sent a transactional e-mail reminding them that their next order will process soon.
  
  On 7/19/2023, the customer chatted into customer service to cancel the Program. The agent went over the early cancellation fee and also mentioned that the customer could delay her next order which would avoid the fee. The customer did accept to delay her next order deciding to edit the food selection rather than canceling.  The customer asked about other program options but chose to stick with her current program.  The customer's auto-delivery is still active.  If the customer does not want to remain on auto-delivery, the terms of the program apply and the customer will be charged the $125 cancellation fee.  If the customer decides to take the next order, the auto-delivery will begin to process on 9/15/2023. The customer should keep an eye out for the transactional email reminder and make any changes to her order by 6pm EST 9/14/2023.  We trust that this explanation provides a satisfactory resolution to the issue.  Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: the company’s $125 fee to cancel was not communicated in a way where it was noticeable. I didn’t know there was any cancellation fee at all. Had I known the cancellation fee was this high I would not have signed up for their program. 
  
  Also, the company neglected to tell you that I didn’t like the food. This is the reason for canceling. Due to the reason why I want to cancel, is why I deserve to be able to cancel without paying their absorbent cancellation fee.  I have not canceled completely because they will charge the $125 fee on the day I cancel. I want to cancel and will, but without paying that fee they are charging.  
  
  This company needs to put their cancellation policy and fee at the top of any email they send out, not at the bottom, so it can easily not be seen as they intend to gain more unknowing customers.

  Placed the order on 6/27/2023 canceled order on 7/5/2023. Waited for return box to return unused non-frozen portions of meal kit never received anything called back on 7/22/2023, customer Service stated they never got a cancellation request and if I were to cancel it today it would be $125 processing fee and there was no way around. It told them that was incorrect that I called and canceled on 7/5 didnt really seem to care .

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Diabetic Program on 6/26/2023, taking the auto delivery option when signing up.  All aspects of the Program are disclosed on the checkout page including the early cancellation fee.  All calls to customer service are logged and recorded in the system. There is no record of the customer calling in on 7/5/2023.  However, on 7/22/2023 the customer cancelled the Program.  As of 7/22/2023 the customers account has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will be shipped out.   The customer cancelled after only receiving one shipment (which would still have been the case on 7/5/23), therefore, per the terms of the Program, the customer was charged the early cancellation fee.  The customer had been advised of this on the call and there was no mention of returning food on this call. If the customer would like to send back the non-frozen portion of the June 26th order for a partial refund,please contact customer service to receive an RMA number.  If the customer decides to send the non-frozen portion of the order back, the customer will be refunded once the order is received at our warehouse.  We trust that this refund offer is a satisfactory resolution to the issue.

  I recently ordered a 2-month shipment of food from nutrisystem Inc. The first shipment came in and I was completely unsatisfied. The food tasted stale and I was missing one or two items. I paid over $500 for 2 months because that was supposed to be cheaper than ordering monthly. I tried to cancel as soon as I got my first shipment and asked if I could have my refund for the second shipment before it shipped to me. I was told that I could not get a refund for shipment number two and that I would have to wait until after the second shipment to cancel. I ordered a certain plan but it shows that I ordered the least expensive plan which was extremely unsatisfactory. I have experienced nutrisystem in the past and I was very satisfied. This time it is completely different and I don't want it anymore. I was willing to have the second shipment canceled but now I will have two months worth of food that is actually non-filling and awful. When I called and spoke to a customer service agent, she was rude and never offered a resolution for me. Can you please help me figure this out.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/31/2023

  The customer ordered the Basic plan online and chose to pay upfront for two months with auto-delivery, selecting the Chefs Choice option rather than the customizable option. The customer customized their second order, which was dated 7/12/2023.  Womens plans include one snack and customers should add in fruits and vegetables as outlined in the plan. We disclose all aspects of the auto-delivery program on the checkout page immediately next to the checkout button and provide a link to the terms and conditions before a customer can complete their order. As explained in our terms and conditions, refunds for the Pay Upfront Option are only available within the 7-day Money Back Guarantee timeframe.
  
  As of 7/15/2023, the customers account has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will be shipped out. On 7/18/2023, the customer called customer service regarding missing snacks from her orders.  On 7/21/2023, an agent made two outreach calls to the customer and sent a follow-up e-mail to help resolve this matter and arrange for replacements of any items that were not sent.  As of 7/31/2023, we have not heard back from the customer.  We trust that this provides a satisfactory resolution to the issue.  Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

  I called to cancel my subscription today, July 14th. After being GRILLED as to why I wanted to cancel and being asked several times about moving to another plan, I was charged $125 for early cancellation. Are you kidding me? I asked where this was written and was told on the website - of course! I am sure it's hidden close to the same place I had to DIG to find out how to cancel!Is your product so bad that the only way you make money is by charging people to no longer receive your product?? It's not like I was in a restaurant, ordered a steak and as the server was approaching my table, I changed my mind. I wasn't due for another delivery until NEXT month. You did nothing to earn my money. I don't know how this isn't considered stealing?!And I think it's very shady that it's impossible to remove your credit card information from your site. My card was charged before I even ended the call. Makes me wonder how many more times it might get charged!Terrible, terrible company!

  I ordered today by phone and told them I could not start the program until August 1st. After they took my credit card they said that my first first package would arrive in 10 days. I told them I wouldn’t be there. Their response was it will be there when you return. 7 days later? The food would not be could. I tried to canceled. He was very rude and I couldn’t cancel

  Date: 07/26/2023

  We sincerely apologize for any confusion the customer may have experienced when signing up for the Program and for any misinformation the customer received from our sales agent.  On 7/13/2023, the Customer signed up for the Basic Plan.   The customer ordered with the sales agent but was going out of town.  Upon our review, the sales agent did go over the shipping timeframe with the customer but the customer wanted the order after she would return.  The agent did not cancel the order for the customer on this call and the call ended with no resolution.  We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication and assistance with cancelling the order for the customer. We have issued a refund this order on 7/19/2023 and the balance on 7/24/2023. The auto-delivery was cancelled indefinitely on 7/19/2023 and no additional orders will ship out.  We appreciate the customers feedback and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.  This has been addressed with the sales agent regarding proper handling.  We trust that the refund is a satisfactory resolution to the issue.    Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

  It is impossible to cancel. I asked to postpone my next shipment since I couldn't find a way to cancel online. Tried to call and was put on hold for a very long time and finally gave up. Figured I would cancel before next shipment. Little did I know there were multiple steps to postponing next shipment and I missed clicking one button. They send an alert when your next shipment is shipping and even though I hadn't been picked up by the carrier, I was told there was nothing I could do, shipment was "in process." There is no way to cancel online. This is a scam and designed to extort more money with no way to easily cancel.

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Max+ Program on 5/11/2023, taking the auto delivery option when signing up. Customers may cancel at any time but customers who do not cancel their auto delivery program before an order begins processing are responsible for their order. We disclose all aspects of the Program on the checkout page immediately next to the checkout button, and provide a link to the full terms and conditions before a customer completes their order. Prior to processing an auto delivery program order, customers are sent a transactional e-mail reminding them that their next order will process soon.
  
  On 7/1/2023, the customer was sent a transactional email regarding an upcoming 7/5/2023 order. On 7/5/2023, after this order began to process, the customer chatted in to customer service to cancel the Program. As of 7/5/2023 the customer’s account has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will be shipped out. If the customer would like to send back the non-frozen portion of the July order for a partial refund, they may contact customer service to receive an RMA number.  If the customer decides to send the non-frozen portion of the order back, they will be refunded once the order is received at our warehouse.  We trust that the offer to return the non-frozen portion of the last order is a satisfactory resolution to the issue. Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.

  I have been with Nutrisystem for 6 months and decided I did not want the plan any more. There was no way on the website to cancel however the terms and conditions stated that if I had a credit card on file it authorized Nutrisystem to continue sending meals so 30 days ago I deleted the credit card from the account. On July 10th I got notice from my credit card that 375 dollars would be charged to Nutrisystem. Immediately called to ask how this happened without my authorization of a credit card I removed from the account and was told the only way to remove the card was to call which is not true as the website allowed me to delete the card. On July 10th I received notification through email that the plan was now cancelled. However, July 11th I got notification that the non frozen order was being shipped which means that two days from now the frozen will be shipped as well. There was ample time for this order to be stopped, especially the frozen items (which Nutrisystem states can not be returned once sent). This was a deliberate move to receive an added 375 dollars as a punishment for cancellation. This is not right. I did not authorize this credit card payment as seen by my action of removing said card from the account 30 days prior to the recent shipment. I am requesting return of the $375 which for a 71 year old woman on a fixed income is not peanuts. Thank you for any help you may give. I have screen shots of my account with no cc on file, as well as screenshots of the billing page which shows that I canceled before any product was mailed. Thank you, again. ***********************

  The customer signed up for the Uniquely Yours Max+ Program on 1/1/2023, taking the auto delivery option when signing up. Customers may cancel at any time but customers who do not cancel their auto delivery program before an order begins processing are responsible for the frozen food portion of their order as frozen food is non-refundable. On 7/6/2023, the customer was sent a transactional email regarding an upcoming 7/10/2023 order. Although the customer deleted her information, she never emailed us or called to actually cancel her order.  On 7/10/2023, after this order began to process, the customer called customer service to cancel the Program. As of 7/10/2023 the customer’s account has been cancelled indefinitely and no further orders will be shipped out. On the call the customer was offered return instructions but the customer declined.  If the customer would like to return the non-frozen food, please have the customer contact customer service for an RMA#.  When the customer returns the non-frozen food, we will issue a partial refund.  We trust that this explanation provides a satisfactory resolution to the issue. Please feel free to call or email customer service any time with additional questions.
