If I could give this negative ratings, I WOULD
I placed an order for a 5 pack and it arrive warm and wet, despite all product saying right on it that it requires refrigeration. The product is nothing like "dough" or "cookie dough", they will get defensive and say "well it's a protein dough", whatever that means. The texture is that of old glue - very goopey, pastey, stretchy and yet thin. It's texture alone is concerning. The "add ins" become a soggy mess because they are sitting in this gloopey mess. The taste is SO chemical and artificial in nature, again, it is concerning what exactly is used in the ingredients. I tried every flavor and they were all so awful tasting. I also had my family members try them to make sure it wasn't just me, and they all agreed. I contacted customer service asking for a refund, and that I was even willing to ship the product back but otherwise it was going to end up in the trash. Rather than an email back, the customer service rep insisted on calling me. During the call she first asked "Did you stir the product because that can affect the taste"; I told her yes I had. Then she claimed they were just getting ready to launch all new packaging and even product ingredients to "improve the taste and texture" and asked if she could send me new product to try. I agreed, and while the packaging for the new product is cuter, the product still arrived very warm, same awful texture, same terrible taste. When I reached out again to customer service asking again for a refund, I was told "We do not refund based on taste and of course we are not "cookie dough" we are protein cookie dough. We wanted to make sure you had our new formula for sure and we do appreciate you trying it but know our product is not for you." When I stated that this was highly dissapointing and that I have never experienced a company unwilling to refund a product that did not live up to expectations, she stated "We stand by our service and the product arrived how it is supposed to. But as this email was previously sent it now requires a phone call. I am happy to take a phone call and go over things with you but at this time per my protocol a phone call is required." I'm sorry what?? Because an email was sent previously "protocol" requires a phone call?? A phone call for what exactly? And what "protocol" are we following exactly that is never mentioned to the customer? I am quite confused and honestly taken back at this process this company has in place. I had already gone back and forth with them numerous times via email, text and phone calls. This process feels very put in place because this company gets a lot of unhappy customers, I know from doing heavy research already online. My experience is the same as many others as well. Warm product that has the texture of glue, with customer service unwilling to refund the product. A company that cannot stand by their product enough to offer a refund just shows how often this is happening and how little confidence they have in their own product. I am looking forward to continuing to spread and share my review and experience everywhere I can. I am clearly not the first, and this company will not survive functioning like this. Literally the WORST customer service experience, and the most suspicious and confusing experience, I have ever encountered.
