Ordered a Pura with the wrong address, immediately called and asked to change the address, they said no and I would be charged. (Terrible customer service) then I gave them the correct address. A month later got notified that a shipment was sent to the wrong address again! And I was charged again! Called the business and again they said it was already shipped and they cant intercept it! Even though it was their fault they didnt update the addressBusiness Response

I placed an order May 22, 2025 for $363.57 of all Pura diffusers, nothing else. I received 24 pura mini plug in devices. I called to let them know of the error, they asked me to take a photo of the plug in devices, box them up, bring them to UPS and pay for the return. I took the photos and emailed them immediately and asked for shipping labels. Considering the error is 100% on their side, I would assume they would pay for the shipping since I now have to also bring them to UPS. I got zero response. So, I called customer service the next day, got disconnected four times and then spoke with someone who said my correct order would be shipped and I would receive a shipping notification. I have received nothing. No email, shipping information, shipping label...nothing. So I am left with paying nearly $400.00 with zero to show for it. I am filing a complaint with my credit card, asked for my money back and I have still not heard anything. This is one of the worst examples of customer service I have encountered. Buyer beware!Business Response

I bought the Pura diffuser with a description but it had the wrong address. I immediately notified the business to change the address or cancel the order, and they wouldn’t do it. Low integrity from the business as they forced me to deliver it to the wrong address. They have repeatedly refused to cancel the subscription without a $50 fee. They are practicing deceptive and unfair business practice. I will file a complaint with their state AG next if this is not resolved.Initial Complaint

Charged for additional itemBusiness Response
Date: 01/10/2025
Hello ******,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the additional item on your order.
After reviewing your concern, it appears the unwanted item was added to your order during the checkout process, where we offer an optional discounted add-on. We understand how this might have been unexpected and are truly sorry for any inconvenience this caused.
When you reached out to us, we refunded you for the Pura Car set as a courtesy and let you know you could keep it or gift it to a loved one—no return necessary. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to cancel or remove the item initially as it had already been processed by our warehouse by the time you contacted us.
We appreciate your understanding and hope this resolution demonstrates our commitment to ensuring a positive experience for our customers. If there’s anything further we can assist you with, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to make future interactions with Pura smoother and more enjoyable.Customer Answer

I have cancelled my subscription but they continue billing me every month.Business Response
Date: 06/18/2024
Hello Iquawe,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern about the continued billing.
Upon reviewing your account, we discovered that you had two separate subscriptions under different email addresses: **************** and ***************** It appears that while the subscription under **************** was canceled, the subscription under **************** remained active, leading to the continued charges.
We have now canceled the subscription under **************** to prevent any further billing.
We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team at ********************************.

I placed my first order at the end of May 2024. The order was shipped and received. A week later I received the two refills that were supposed to come 4 weeks later and was charged tho I never received any shipping confirmation or order info. I had no idea it was coming then a week later I received yet another refill of the exact same two fragrances and charged again. No order info and again no notice it was even coming. At this point I would like to cancel this subscription and I would like a refund for one of the refills since I was only obligated to try for 30 days which has now elapsed. I tried to contact the company only to find they only have one way to communicate and that is through email. No phone and no chat that is actually live chat. I have received several responses that offered no resolution only the run around like so many others. This company is not reputable and is not meeting their promises to customers. At this point I would like a refund of the one extra refill and to cancel this subscription before I am charged yet again for things I did not order. Thank you.Business Response

Hello ******,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the subscription and shipment issues you've encountered.
It appears that your subscription order was edited after the initial processing had already begun. Changes to your subscription need to be made before the ship date and time reflected under the Deliveries tab and Subscriptions tab on the app. This ensures that any modifications are applied before the order is processed and shipped.
Regarding the multiple charges and shipments, we acknowledge the error and understand your frustration. As part of our free device promotion, you received a free device in exchange for two fragrances a month for six months. Since you are within the first 30 days of your contract, you have the option to cancel your subscriptions and return the device. If you choose to cancel and do not return the device, a charge of $49.99 will be applied.
To address your specific concerns:
Refund: We are more than happy to have you return any of these orders and we will refund you for whatever we receive back.
Subscription Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription by opening the Deliveries tab in the Pura app, selecting Subscriptions, tapping the three dots, and choosing Unsubscribe from all. This will ensure no further charges are applied.
Customer Support: While we currently offer support primarily through email, we are committed to assisting you and resolving any issues. Please contact our support team at ******************************** for further help.
We understand your frustration and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter. If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding.Initial Complaint

I recieved a diffuser that leaked all over my countertop and caused damage. I let the company know and that I would like to cancel my subscription. Company has continued to bill me and there was no option to cancel subscription through app. Company is requiring diffuser to be sent to them. This would not be possible as it was a health hazard and leaking everywhere. I could not mail this diffuser back without risking my health. I cannot get into contact with them. Asking for refund of April and to not be liable for the original shipment charge since faulty product.Business Response
Date: 05/28/2024
Dear *****,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. We understand the issues you have experienced with the leaking diffuser and the damage it caused. However, it is crucial to note that our process for handling such situations involves the return of the damaged product or photographic evidence to support the claim. Without the return of the device or proof of the defect, we are limited in our ability to verify the issue and take corrective action.
We acknowledge your attempt to cancel the subscription and understand your concerns about billing. However, the promotional offer you accepted included a free diffuser contingent upon maintaining a subscription for a minimum period. Since the terms were not fulfilled and the product was discarded without providing evidence of the defect, we are unable to waive the fee associated with the device.
Our records indicate that we have made several attempts to resolve this issue amicably, including requests for information that would allow us to properly address your claim. We regret that you have decided to dispose of the device, which complicates our ability to verify and rectify the situation.
We encourage you to contact our customer service team if you have any additional information that could assist in resolving this matter. We are committed to providing our customers with quality products and services and are here to help in any way we can.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

I am rejecting this response because:I have replied to all outreach attempts from Pura and included information on the defective device. Asking someone to risk chemical ***** to take a photo or mail back a device is ridiculous. I understand the terms if I were to have a working device, a defective device should not comply to the same terms. **************** has continued to ignore my replies to outreach and has made no attempts to answer my recent outreach.

Dear **********************,
Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed feedback regarding your experience with our diffuser and subscription service. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the faulty product and subsequent billing issues.
We have reviewed your account and would like to address the following points:
Refunds: We have processed refunds for two out of the three orders. Unfortunately, the refund for the last order cannot be processed at this time due to an open chargeback dispute. The funds are currently frozen until the dispute is resolved by the bank.
Subscription Cancellation: We apologize for the difficulties you faced in canceling your subscription. Our team has now canceled your subscription to ensure no further charges will be applied.
Defective Product: We understand that you disposed of the faulty diffuser due to it being a health hazard. While we typically require the return of defective products for quality control purposes, your safety and well-being are our top priority. As such, we have noted this in your account.
Promotional Commitment: As a courtesy, we have waived the charge for the diffuser that would have typically been applied due to the early termination of your six-month promotional commitment. We hope this gesture shows our commitment to resolving your concerns and providing a satisfactory experience.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the chargeback process. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at ***********************************.
Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize again for any inconvenience this may have caused.

PURA home fragrance (Pura.com) Continues to send me product and charge me every month even after I cancelled my subscription Months ago! I liked this company and was just trying to stop buildup.
