Adore Me, Inc.

Review: During the checkout process, the company automatically signs you up for a "VIP membership", which claims to have no monthly obligation or fee. They charge you $39.95 per month, which is not stated unless you click on a separate link. They say there is no "fee" because the $39.95 you are charged monthly is actually store credit and this is how they get around saying there is no monthly fee. It is unfair and sly business practice. When you call to inquire about the monthly charges, they state that "you should have known to switch to the 'pay as you go' option instead of the VIP membership", which again, is the default setting. There was no email verification process, and they did not have the correct email for my account, so I was not receiving their monthly emails regarding the VIP membership. They did NOT refund me may money, so basically I am now forced to spend an extra $119.85 at their business because I unknowingly signed up for a VIP membership. If I cancel my membership without spending the store credit, they don't allow me to spend all the money they have unknowingly taken from me, and only let me spend the store credit on 1 item instead of 3 (most items cost 49.99).Desired Settlement: A refund of the $119.85 that was unknowingly charged to my bank account, and a recommendation to the company that the "VIP membership" option NOT be the default selection during checkout.

Review: Hi,

When I placed my order with this business I did so because I was led to believe (via the website) that returns are free. It distinctly states "Free shipping both ways" on the homepage. There is no asterisk or footnote indication to signify that returns have other costs besides shipping, such as a re-stocking fee. Most online clothing vendors that offer free return shipping do not charge re-stocking fees, in my experience ([redacted]) and the companies that do (best buy) always make it very explicit.

So when I decided to return the item I purchased because I was dissatisfied with its quality, the re-stocking fee of $5.95 was a complete surprise. I made the purchase with the understanding that there were NO fees involved in returning it due to the very clear "Free shipping both ways" on the site.

I feel deceived by this business and request that they take responsibility for their misleading advertising and return this fee.

Thank you,

[redacted]Desired Settlement: I believe that this business should return $5.95 to me.

Review: Store credit has been removed without proper warning or other notice.

When I signed up in 2013 there was no mention of store credit expiring. In August of 2013 I had $99.85 in store credit due to forgetting to skip certain months and refunds from products. Suddenly the balance began diminishing. I emailed earlier this year to address the concern and didn't get a sufficient response. My balance is now down to $0. I had intended on using the credit but didn't find the products that suited my taste, but now have no money to use and find that my credit is completely gone.

Unfair business practice. A notice should have at least been appropriate since there was no advertisement of credit expirations when I signed up.Desired Settlement: I'd appreciate having my store credit back so I can make a purchase.

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

Hello,

I am attaching a sample email confirmation of when a credit is charged from May 2013. Please note that a mention of expiration is nowhere in the email.

Unfortunately, their policy is misleading. Even in their statement to the Revdex.com they say the credit can be used "at any time", which if it were more accurately stated would read, "Anytime within the next 12 months".

I am respectfully requesting that my credit of $99 be reinstated. I would love to use it as soon as possible. I am not asking for a refund, simply the ability to purchase goods with the money I have already paid and the company has already accepted.

In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Sincerely,

Review: The company invites customers to enroll in a "members only" program that does not fully disclose their policy of automatically charging the customer credit card each month, regardless of whether goods were desired or purchased. Upon discovery of the unauthorized credit card charges, their customer service department stated that the only way to obtain a complete refund was to write an email or letter to the company, explaining the reason for the refund, at which point they would determine if the circumstances warranted such a refund.

Further, after canceling the account and credit card charges over the phone the business continued to charge the customer credit card without regard for the customer's stated intent to cancel those charges and prevent any further charges. Altogether the company has charged over $300 without authorization to the customer credit card.

In addition, this company generally engages in the most unethical type of business practices available including misrepresentation of information (customer was told that a refund could be processed by email, only to find this was not the case), wait times of over 30 minutes to reach an initial customer service agent, additional wait times of over 30 minutes when a request was made to speak to a [redacted], and an argumentative and hostile demeanor when requesting to have money returned to the customer credit card.

To date, a refund to the customer credit card has not occurred over 4 months after the account was cancelled and a refund was requested.Desired Settlement: As has been requested repeatedly, customer is requesting a complete refund to the credit card that was initially charged.

Also requesting that the account be permanently closed and no further charges made to the credit card, as the company has already resumed charges after permission was expressly denied by the customer.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

The response failed in any way to address the specific issues mentioned in the complaint, other than simply re-stating their membership policy. They did not address either the fact that my credit card was charged even after the account was cancelled WITHOUT NOTIFICATION or their decision to so far refund none of the over $300 in charges that have appeared on my credit card. In addition, they have failed to explain why it is that they feel it is acceptable to enroll customers in a monthly payment plan with just one click but in order to cancel that enrollment it requires a written letter (not email, but written) to be sent to a claims department that is unreachable by any other means.

I continue to await a clear and actual response to my issues as stated above.

Review: I am filing a complaint against Adore Me for extreme lack in costumer service and continuously charging my debit card. I have been disputing Adore Me through my personal bank, [redacted] and even changed my debit card in an order to stop charges. I have disputed Adore Me four times and emailed with costumer service represent Andreea requesting my account please be canceled. I was assured that my account associated with my email was closed a month ago and today I was charged again. This has caused me a great deal of frustration. When I call the costumer service line, I get a constant ring and I am kept on hold for an hour or more. I want my account canceled and I want something to be done of this inconsiderate costumer service and unauthorized collections from my debit card for a service I have been attempting to cancel.

This online lingerie company has a site that looks like a normal online clothing site. What its not telling its customers is that it enrolls you into a membership; charges your credit card 39.95US each month and you don't know it. After speaking with a representative for that company she stated that at the payment screen by default monthly membership is selected. I find this to be very deceiving and sneaky. I was being charged 39.95US each month and wasn't getting anything from them. I didn't notice this until months later. They take that 39.95US and put it as a store credit, forcing you to purchase from them.....hence store credit. You are then responsible to take the time out of your busy life to go into their account every month and request to not get charged each particular month and if you forget you are being charged!!! This is not right and ridiculous. They charged me for months and months yet would only give back 30 day refund.

Most frustrating online shopping experience ever. Not only was I also automatically signed up for the VIP membership; but once you create an account and buy something - they automatically save your credit card information without your consent. Even after I was able to unsubscribe from their VIP membership, I was still not able to delete my own credit card from my account. I ended up having to call and demanded that my entire account be deleted.

I purchased one thing from them and it took my weeks to sort out the mess that it created on my credit card. Their products are also incredibly cheap. I will never ever recommend Adore Me to anyone. In fact I plan on actively telling people NOT to sign up with them. How they are still an operating business is beyond me.

Review: My daughter purchased some underwear from Adore Me. Dispite several claims on the web site, of no obligation, when signing up for the VIP club, to get a discount on the underwear, she was signed up for a $39.95/month charge that I am sure was buried in the small print. Yes, I am sure she checked a box that stated she read it when she had not. When she called to cancel the VIP club in September, and again in November, she was ignored and the charges continued. The month charge was not stopped until, I got involved in December and between my calls and using the credit company, the automatic payments were stopped. Adore Me has $119.85 tied up in her account, which I would like to get refunded. I have written their claim department in early January, and again have been ignored.Desired Settlement: $119.85 credit return to Tabitha's and my credit card account.

We

are not trying by any means to force customers in a subscription program.

I

have attached a screen shot of the shopping cart with the two payment

options, as seen in image 1. Customers who select the VIP Membership option during checkout are sent

a membership confirmation email, then two reminder emails before the fifth

reminding them to either skip the month or make a purchase. Customers who do

neither before the fifth are charged $39.95, which turns to store credit

available for their use at any time.

Review: I have tried calling their member services line multiple times only to be put on hold for long periods of time. I purchased an item on this site and was then signed up for a VIP membership that I didn't sign up to take part in, I then looked up this site to find it has scammed and charged people even after canceling their membership I have been trying to get a hold of them to cancel the membership with no luck, I do not want to be a part of the membership and don't want to be sought after when I change my card number to avoid their in store credit charges.Desired Settlement: I want them to finalize the canceling of my membership and to not charge me for anything other than the current product that is being shipped, since I did not want to become a member and they have given little options to cancel it besides calling and they won't answer. I would like an email confirmation from the store that my membership has been canceled as well as a phone call to make sure they are doing this.

Review: In addition to unauthorized billing issues, I also had severe issues with the customer service. The first time I called the support line in order to remove myself from the VIP program, I was told that there would be a 3-minute wait - I actually experienced a 43-minute wait, and then was promptly hung up on once I got into contact with an associate because she could not understand what I was saying. When I called back the second time - again, promised a 3-minute wait - I was on hold for 27 minutes. The customer service representative was unhelpful; I could not be removed from the program because my last purchase was not marked in the system as shipped, despite the fact that I had already received the item and had submitted the online form to return the purchase. I was instructed that I could not be removed from the program until the systems updated, but was not given a time frame of when this would be the case. Additionally, the only way to confirm this was to call the support line, and again be placed on hold. A week later I called to confirm that I could be removed, and I was able to do so - however, I was not sent the email that I was promised confirming this removal. Each month after my "removal" I have been charged the monthly $39.95 fee - which has been rectified once by Adore Me - but I strongly feel that I should not be receiving these charges at ALL because I am no longer in the program. Three months later, I received my third incorrect monthly charge from the company, and I am getting steamed. Additionally, I keep receiving marketing emails from the company despite the numerous times that I have unsubscribed from the email lists.Desired Settlement: In addition to having all of my billing charges reconciled, and being REMOVED from this automatic billing per month because I am no longer in the VIP program - I would also like to receive a phone call from a manager with an apology for the inconveniences that I have been anticipating. Additionally, I would like an email stating that I have been removed from this program. And then I would like to be officially removed from the mailing list - I am still receiving emails despite the fact that I have unsubscribed multiple times.

Review: In February of 2016 I placed one order. Somehow placing this order signed me up for a $39.95 charge every month which in turn gives me a $39.95 in store credit. I NEVER signed up for this program. I realized it in May when I couldn't understand why I had been charged for this. When I logged in, I realized they have been charging me this every month since February. I was able to cancel April and Mays and get a refund however they do not allow you to request a refund on anything older than 30 days. So, there was still a $79 credit sitting there. Clearly I wanted to cancel this scam. I followed all the online prompts to cancel. Understanding that I was just going to be stuck with the $79 credit I figured I'd just order something. However, apparently when you cancel this VIP thing they REMOVE all credits you have in your account. So they basically just stole $80 out of my bank account with no recourse. I have contacted them to request a refund. If they refuse I will be contacting my bank and filing a dispute. This kind of thing should not be legalDesired Settlement: I would like a full refund or at the very least an in store credit for the money they stole from my bank account.

Thursday, May ** 2016This is in reply to the complaint ID #[redacted]First, we would like to apologize to the customer for any inconvenience caused.In regards to the membership, it is only one of two option offered to customers upon checkout with their first order. Customers who select the VIP Membership option during checkout are sent a membership confirmation email and reminder emails before the fifth reminding them to either skip the month or make a purchase. VIP members who do not shop or skip by the 6th day of each month (11:59:59 p.m. EST), are charged $39.95 and receive the same amount in store credit. Members may redeem this credit on AdoreMe.com at any time. VIP members who do skip the month (before the [redacted] 11:59:59 p.m. EST) may change their minds and are free to shop any item in their showroom throughout the month.Please note this is an automatic billing, and members who do not participate in the active membership may accumulate store credits.That being said, we see that the customer was able to refund $79.90 via our online helpdesk (see below) and we now confirm that the customer has been unsubscribed from the membership (see below). When unsubscribing, it is stated that all unused credits will be forfeited. Customer did have to select “I agree” to processes the un-subscription. However, we see that the $79.90 Store Credit that was forfeited was refunded via our Claims Department on May ** 2016 (see attached image 1)If there are further comments, questions or concerns, please let us know.Best regards,Sandra N[redacted]

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. However, I will note that I was NOT given the option to sign up for the VIP program. It was automatically done when I failed to see the tiny little "pay as you go" box at checkout. This is the ONLY way to not automatically get signed up for their VIP program. This is NOT clear to the customer. Also, I NEVER received any emails from Adore Me reminding me to skip or cancel my membership. It was only when I noticed it coming out of my bank account that I realized something was being charged to me that I never agreed to. While this company did finally give me a refund, this is a TERRIBLE way to do business and I will never shop with them again. I actually really liked the item I received. Perhaps they should rethink their business model as I know for a fact I'm not the only one who's had this same exact experience.

Sincerely,

Be careful ordering anything from this company, they automatically sign you up for their VIP program which means they charge you $39 a month automatically and will only refund it for thirty days. Buyer beware! Better off finding another place to buy.

They false advertise, they are a scam! Take reoccurring membership fee without authorization You can NOT get through to customer service to resolve issues, horrible company

First, they send SO MANY SPAMMY EMAILS! I don't need an email sent to me everyday of the same items.

I try to cancel my account on the site and it's NOT clear how to do so ANYWHERE.

Then I call to cancel, have to sit on hold for 15 minutes listening to horrible music.

Once I get someone on the phone, she says she cannot cancel my account.

Then when I finally get an email back, there is a link that does not clearly state I can cancel my account and go to it....

TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT THEY MAKE YOU TAKE A SURVEY!!!

Who does that?

You cannot cancel unless you take a survey?

This whole service is a scam. The quality of the product is not worth the price. Will NEVER recommend. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR COMPANY..and your lack of morals! ..hopefully this will prompt someone to take action and fix this.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. they will take your credit card information and then never allow you to cancel and you will keep being charged. The help desk is useless; I was on hold for 35 minutes to be told that I was a liar and then not have my problem resolved. I was also told that I could not speak to a manager because my complaint was not serious enough. I still can't cancel my account. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION

Review: I was charged $39.95 on November *, after they allege that I failed to 'skip the month'. I did, in fact, skip the month of November when I arrived home from a family weekend away on Sunday, November *. I did not notice the charges until I logged on to skip the month of December, on December *. I immediately emailed the company, and did not receive any response. I emailed again, a couple of days later. When I finally received a response, it did not reference my problem at all. So, I emailed AGAIN. Someone finally acknowledged what my problem was, but said that it was past the 30 day refund window that they allow. So, basically, too bad. I informed them that my first two emails were both sent to them WITHIN that 30 day window, and that they had failed to respond. I was told that I would now have to file a claim, which can take up to 30 days to process. The general feeling I get from the representatives is that I will not be receiving my refund, which is unacceptable to me.Desired Settlement: I would like for the company to refund the money to my credit card as soon as possible, and for the company to realize that they need to have customer service representatives who can respond appropriately to customer issues, in a timely manner, without blaming timing issues on the customer after failing to respond properly.

First of all, I did request my refund within the 30 day window; my request was not granted. I have also filed a claim with the claims department and it has been WELL past 10 days; I have as yet heard NOTHING from them at all.I filed a complaint with my credit card since I was not getting anywhere with the company. I gave them MANY chances and QUITE A BIT of time to resolve the issue before taking it to the credit card company. In regards to the response that my credit is 'frozen' because of the complaint to the credit card... what does that even mean? I understand I can't use the credit; I do not WANT to use the credit. I want it refunded. Can you not refund the money because I told the credit card company you charged without my consent? That is ludicrous. How can we resolve the issue so that my money can be refunded as soon as possible. This company is the WORST I have ever dealt with in regards to customer service.

Review: This company lures people in by offering deals on lingerie. When you purchase a set, you're enrolled in a monthly subscription program and they charge your card $39.95 a month! This went on for three months without my noticing until I saw a charge on my card that I never authorized. When I called the company, they said "Sorry, nothing we can do!" and made off with over $100 of my money. Six months after I unsubscribed and told them to clear my name and billing information from their database, I receive an email saying that I have been billed for the month of September. Another call, but at least this time I got my $40 back--but still NO LUCK FROM LAST YEAR! I'm a college student; this is impoverishing me. This company thrives on luring women in, then saving their credit card information and billing them without their explicit consent. A simple search on the internet reveals that my problem is not uncommon with this company.Desired Settlement: I demand a full refund.

Review: The advertising is false. They do not say anywhere how much the actual "memebership" costs. It says membership is free yet they charge you 40 dollars a month even if you dont make a purchase! It only says you have to skip a month. Who is in their right mind going to remember to "skip" a month by the [redacted] of every month? I know I sure won't because I have other things in life to worry about. Who in their right mind buys 12 pairs of lingerie a year? I tried unsubscribing online. It has NOTHING online that lets you unsubscribe! You have to call in I called to unsubscribe and they tell me I have to wait 10 days before I can unsubscribe from the time of the first purchase. Are you kidding me?Desired Settlement: I want to unsubscribe whenever I please and if you are an online store might as well have an unsubscribe button ONLINE as well.

Review: I will describe a bad experience and request I had with Adore Me. Please let meknow if there is anything you could do to help me close my account with them and ensure they delete any of my personal information and payment account they have in their system.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Adore.me as they definitely are not open with Canadian customers regarding all charges and fees – as custom fees – and disguise the price which ends up being much more than what they advertise.

I have started receiving adore.me emails a couple of months ago and I was very impressed with their promotions, price and beautiful products. I received 50% discount in my first lingerie set, which made me purchase a full price set as well. Unfortunately, both sets did not fit properly and I called AdoreMe to get information on how I could do to return both sets. AdoreMe representative was very nice and passionate – badly she was giving me wrong information when she said no more charges would be made in case I exchanged both sets, trying to get my correct size, including no custom charges.

This weekend I received a Canada Post notification and I had to pay $20.83 to custom to be able to get 1 of the exchange sets, and the second set is still to come. When I called AdoreMe they agreed that I was misinformed by one of their representatives as there is always a chance that we pay custom fees in Canada. Therefore they misguide me as now the price I had paid for those sets and the waiting time have been way too much compared to any other retailer in Canada.

Once again, I do understand the custom may charge for any package coming from US, but having your employees misguiding customers guaranteeing that it would not happen, it is not correct and I sure get extremely upset with AdoreMe and this experience. I will then ensure I will tell all my friends, family and network to be very careful if they think on buying anything in the future from AdoreMe.

To AdoreME – it is a shame that you arenot upfront with your customers and worst do not have any effort to keep a customer satisfied or try to fix your employees mistakes.

One more bad experience with Adore ME, it is regarding information protection and how bad this company secure privacy and customer information. Due to a very bad customer service and shopping experience I had I called Adore Me to ensure they would cancel my account and with that delete any customer data, especially any payment card information they had due to my previous purchases. Adore Me just answered me that my account is dormant. Therefore they cannot access it, delete it or cancel it, they do not have access and my information will continue there – including payment card as they CANNOT change anything on THEIR system.

I am extremely dissatisfied and now I am sure Adore Me does not keep their promises to their customers but it is just a scheme to pretend they have attractive prices but at the end charges will come anyway as they are not upfront about them, and lock customer information WITHOUT CUSTOMER CONSENT.

If there is anyone who could help me to delete my information from this company’s database please contact me at ###-###-#### or email [redacted] Thank you, [redacted].Desired Settlement: Refund of $20.83 regarding the custom charge that Adore me said that would not be charged and deleting my account and personal information as well payment information from their database. In additional to receiving the 2nd lingerie set that I have ordered and paid for but I have never received - therefore if custom charges it as well I will also need to refund of customs or retunr it and receive total refund of the product.

Review: I've been dealing with bank issues because of this company for months now. They have been taking a $39.95 membership fee monthly even though I've requested to have my membership cancelled monthly. They have been making my bank account negative along with multiple overdraft fees. I plan on canceling my bank account and getting a new one because of this business. But this company needs to refund me my money as soon as they receive my complaint. I will never be shopping with this business again and I will never refer anyone to them either.Desired Settlement: I want my money refunded onto my debit card immediately.
