Return shipping on product that was received but not ordered.
I ordered 1 product. When it came it was accompanied by 6 bottles of a different product I did not know HBI offered. I did not nor would have ordered it had I known it existed. As with all their products it is expensive. HBI says since it was on my order I have to pay the return shipping. I truly hope the product I did order will be worth the hassle. I will not recommend this company to anyone.

100% Money Back Guarantee is NOT true
My wife has bad arthritis in her knees. We have had a hard time finding anything that will help give some relief from the pain. So after watching the video on Heal-n-Soothe with their 90 day 100% Money Back Guarantee, we decided to give it a try. As you go through placing your order, they show you other products (Super Joint Support, My Daily Collagen, and Rub on Relief). They say when used with Heal-n-Soothe you will get more relief. All these additional products come with a 90 day 100% Money Back Guarantee. So we purchased more than enough of each of these products to last the full 90 days by taking advantage of their bulk order offers. My wife worked her way up to taking 9 pills a day of Heal-n-Soothe as recommended. She took the recommended amount of the other 3 products, too. After 80+ days of taking these products, my wife didn't see any relief in her arthritis pain. We understand that certain types of medications don't work for everyone. That is why we liked their 100% Money Back Guarantee. So, I call their customer support number within the 90 days to get our money back. The person was very nice, took my information, provided information on how to return the unused products, and said it would be 7 to 10 business days after they received the products to get our refund. After a few weeks, I get an email about our refund. To our disappointment, we would only receive about 50% of our money. I called customer support again. This time the agent wasn't so nice. He mentioned their website states they only give refunds for the unused products. I told him that is not what their video or their ordering websites say. I told him I have screen shots of their ordering websites with their 90 100% Money Back Guarantee statements and in none of them are there any type of notation for the "small print" to tell you about the true refund policy. I asked to talk to his manager and that is when he hung up on me. I called back and talked to a different agent who told me a manager would be calling me back. That hasn't happened. So, if you are planning to try Heal-n-Soothe or any of their other products because of the 100% Money Back Guarantee, DON'T!!!!
Updated response to Steve's (HBI) reply on 8-25-23:
Steve, I received emails from HBI about the additional refunds, thank you, but it is still not a 100% refund of the 4 above products we ordered. Also, the "90-Day 100% No Risk Money Back Guarantee" information you provided is not what is provided as you go through the ordering process. None of the products listed anything about single or multiple bottle returns. If it did, I would not have ordered the 4 products because it would not be a true "100% No Risk Money Back Guarantee". When you view the video and start the Heal-n-Soothe ordering process, you are given an offer to "buy 3 and get 2 free" for $147. (I have not received a refund for these bottles.) On this webpage you are provided the following "90 day 100% No Risk Money Back Guarantee":
"When you take Heal-n-Soothe everyday for 90 days, I guarantee you'll feel the difference. If your joints don't being to feel any improvement or if you're not happy for any reason, just let me know and I'll refund 100% of your money. No questions asked. Just call the 24/7 customer service number or cancel online. You don't even need to return the empty bottle. I guarantee you'll love the way you'll feel with Heal-n-Soothe or you'll get your money back."
Next you are presented more information about Heal-n-Soothe "loading dose levels". For the additional bottles we ordered, we will be receiving a full 100% refund for these bottles based on the email we got today. Thank you.
As you continue with your order, you are presented offers for Super Joint Support, My Daily Collagen, and Rub-On-Relief. All these products have similar "90 day 100% No Risk Money Back Guarantee" except for the not having to return the empty bottle section. Again, none of the products mention anything about single or multiple bottle returns. If I had enough space on this platform, I would have listed each "90 day 100% No Risk Money Back Guarantee".
Based on the HBI emails today, we will be getting our full refunds for Super Joint Support and Rub-On-Relief. Again thank you for these additional refunds. Now we would appreciate it, if you can work on getting us the $64 remaining refund for My Daily Collagen and the $147 refund for the "buy 3 and get 2 free" Heal-n-Soothe offer.

HI Darwin,
We have reviewed the return and what we received back was what was included in your refund.
We did note an error in the amount refunded in the prorating process, so an additional amount was refunded based on what was returned. You should see that returned to your card in the next 7 to 10 business days.
Our returned inventory showed the following:
3 unopened Heal-N-Soothe, 1 opened for a total of 4 - refunded 11 originally ordered
3 unopened Super Joint Support, 1 opened for a total of 4 - refunded 6 originally ordered
1 My Daily Collagen opened -refunded 3 originally ordered
2 unopened tubes of Run on Relief and one opened for a total of 3 - refunded 6 originally ordered.
an additional purchased but not returned was the heating pad.
As stated in our 90-day money-back guarantee, for multiple-item orders, we will refund the unopened, unused product.
In your case, we went ahead and refunded the opened product as well.
The 90-day Money Back Guarantee literature from our Heal-N-Soothe is below, each product has the same literature:
90-Day
100% No Risk
Money Back Guarantee
We guarantee you’ll love Heal-n-Soothe or we’ll refund your money.
If you’re not happy for any reason, simply return Heal-n-Soothe within 90 days of your purchase date for a full refund, less shipping. No questions asked.
For Single Bottle Returns
Simply return your bottle, even if it’s completely empty, and you’ll receive your full purchase price, excluding shipping.
For Multi Bottle Returns
Return all your bottles and you’ll receive a prorated amount based on the number of unopened bottles returned, excluding shipping
Thank You,

Hi Imre,
Thank you for reaching out to us on Trustpilot.
We have reviewed your account and found that on June 20, 2023, you took advantage of our free trial offer.
To receive the free trial offer, you must agree to the terms and conditions. The terms and conditions of this offer state that you will receive a bottle of our Heal-N-Soothe product for free, just pay for the shipping and handling. The free trial includes our smart ship subscription service. If you like the product, do nothing and we will automatically send you a new bottle every 30 days after the trial period ends. You are under no obligation and you may cancel anytime.
We have found no record of an attempt to cancel your subscription prior to the first subscription shipment, so automatically on July 30, 2023, the subscription was processed and a new bottle was shipped.
As of this time, your subscription was canceled in response to your email received and a refund was credited as well. The refund may take 10 to 15 business days to be received by your bank.
Thank you for trying our product!

Cancel my order
I would be most grateful if you would cancel my order immediately. It does NOT work at all certainly not for this customer. I would very much appreciate if you would cancel my supposed order. You sent me my last bottle July 31 2023. I would appreciate if you could refund my last charged payment of 62.61 pounds sterling for One bottle (and i hope it is)
This would be exceptionally appreciated. Gareth Davies

I cannot remember ordering anything, now there is a debit of AU $123.04 on my account. I tried contacting to discuss on the number on your website but it’s out of order. I’m scared that further debits may be raised even though I have NOT given you permission.
Please reassure me that you will NOT debit my accounts again and either refund me or provide an explanation as to why you have debited me.
I’ll be raising this with the relevant Ombudsman.

Hi Robin,
Let me assure you, you did place an order with us. Your order was placed on June 24th of 2023 via our online order system. You placed the order after watching a couple of our videos on YouTube. The one that led you to order was "The Joint Pain Protein" with DR Paris.
As part of your order, you took advantage of our free trial offer for Heal-N-Soothe, which requires you to read and agree to the terms and conditions to be able to add the offer to your cart.
The terms and conditions of the free trial state that there is a Smart Ship subscription service included. If you enjoy the product, do nothing and we will automatically send you a new bottle every 30 days after the trial period. You are under no obligation and can cancel anytime.
Upon review, we have found no cancellation request from you via our email, phone support, or by logging into your customer account on our website.
We have at this time, canceled the sub based on this post on Trustpilot. Your last subscription bottle shipped on August 9th, 2023, and is en route to you. After that bottle, no further bottles will be sent and you will receive no further charges to your card.
You state that the phone number you tried is disconnected, but we receive calls every day from our customers so they are active. However, as it is an international number, if you have limits on international calling or a block by your carrier, this may cause the issue you experienced.
If you seek a refund for your purchases, please return the unopened bottles to the address below. Once received, we will verify the returned items, and process a refund minus shipping and handling charges. The refund process can take up to 1 billing cycle from the time received at our warehouse, for your bank to receive the credit. We also recommend you ship via a trackable method.
The return address is:

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!
I received an email in April 2023 offering me a free bottle of Heal n Soothe and, as I have persistent pain in my joints, I decided to give it a try. I paid the $19.95 shipping requested and waited for my bottle to arrive. When it was delivered, 2 weeks later, I took 3 capsules a day, according to the instructions on the bottle, hoping my pain would ease, but it made no difference. I thought that maybe I needed to take it for longer for it to be effective so, when I received an email offering me another free bottle, I thought maybe I might send for another, so I would be able to try it for a longer time, in case it worked better. It didn't work after taking it for two months. Then in July, out of the blue, another bottle arrived! I was puzzled how I could have received this, so decided to investigate and I noticed that my credit card had been charged £62 in June and the same amount TWICE in July! I investigated the website and was horrified that I had been subscribed to two separate separate subscription programmes. I contacted their customer service, explaining that I had no idea I had signed up for their subscriptions, as the small print must have been very tiny to have overlooked it and I asked for a refund. I cancelled both subscriptions and today I received an email from Jesse Cannone (the man behind the ads) confirming my cancellation and stating that, if it hadn't worked for me, maybe I should have taken more, like 3 capsules, 3 times a day - that's 9 capsules a day! There was still no mention of my refund though, so I replied to him, pointing out that there were numerous reviews on here which were very bad and saying that I would write my own poor review if I didn't get my refund within 24 hours. I am still waiting Mr Cannone!!!

Hi Lynda, we have reviewed your account and a refund was issued for the July subscription.
As it is an international exchange, it may be 15 to 20 business days before the funds are received by your bank.
Normally, a refund requires the return of the unused portion of the product, but we have waived that requirement for you as well, already.
We ask you to be patient while the process between our banks works itself out.

Hi Amed,
Based on the information in this post, we have located your customer record.
Your original purchase was on August 24, 2022, for our free trial offer of Heal-n-Soothe. The Free trial terms and conditions state that you have a set period of time to try the product. If you like it, do nothing and we will begin sending you a subscription bottle at a discounted rate, every 30 days. You are under no obligation, to cancel anytime by simply contacting us or logging into your account online.
We have reviewed our logs for our phone and email systems and we can find no record of any attempt to contact us prior to finding this post on Trustpilot. We reviewed our contacts going back to August 2022, when your original order was placed.
We've also never received any of the 10 bottles sent as subscriptions, back with any indication of a desire to cancel.
All we have is confirmed delivery notifications from the prior shipments.
At this time, we have canceled your Heal-n-Soothe subscription and no further charges or orders will be placed on your behalf as of July 17, 2023.
Our product is backed by a 90-money-back guarantee. We have applied this to the last three subscription bottles shipped and refunded those charges to your card on file.
Thank you for trying our product!

I had a worst experience with this company. They’re very nice when taking your order but when it comes to refund the worst company ever. My $150.00 was never refunded since they were asking for a tracking number. I wasted my time going to the post office and money sending my return to them. When I first call them the lady said to give them another 2 weeks to process my refund. I gave them another month then they said that they.cannot give me refund since I didn’t have a tracking number. My question on whatever department is receiving the return, don’t they have a way of recording whatever they received? Why do they require me for a tracking number when first of all they didn’t inform me that they require it. The worst company ever. If I can give them negative I will do so.
