FRUSTRATING Customer service, inaccurate information on their website and CS reps never answer the CS phone!
I have purchased their products for years but always through Costco and other stores. This was my first experience ordering through their company's website. BEFORE I placed an order, I asked if their liquid Turmeric really did not include the ingredient erythritol because their website does not show it in the detail portion of the ingredient list but their version of this product at Costco includes it. Our cardiologists said to avoid this ingredient now because recent studies are showing it actually can increase heart attacks and strokes. Since Qunol's website didn't show it in their version, I emailed to be sure and they did reply that their website ingredient list is accurate and I asked why then does their product at Costco contain the ingredient and they said sometimes big box stores request different ingredients. So, because I confirmed that their listing was accurate, that the ingredient is not listed, I placed an order. I bought 3. Well, the items arrive and sure enough, just like the Costco version, it actually DOES contain erythritol! I immediately contacted customer service, including the screenshots of the listing on their website and our email thread and I asked them for a return label since they gave me inaccurate information about their product and they told me I have to pay for return shipping!! I emailed several times back and forth and tried calling three times, pointing out that it was THEIR fault since they gave me erroneous information and I specifically clarified before ordering and they still insisted I have to pay for return shipping. I finally got my lawyer involved who clearly pointed out by my screenshots and emails with them, they were in the wrong here. They FINALLY relented and issued me credit for the 3 bottles. No apology, of course, and they still to this day, weeks later, never have updated their details on the item listing showing it contains erythritol so they clearly are being deceptive and untruthful and those customers avoiding this ingredient should be aware of this! By the way, I tried calling their customer service phone number 3 times total, during their CS hours and was first placed on hold for several minutes and then it just goes to voicemail, making you leave a VM but they never once returned my phone calls. Who has CS that never answers the phone during business hours?? AND I had to write several emails because they do their best to avoid your emails and avoid writing you back. Worst CS experience ever, deceptive ingredients list on their website...after this experience, I will no longer purchase their products, even at other stores, because a company like this cannot be trusted. There are too may other companies out there that make just as good products. They could have kept me as a customer had they just done the right thing in the first place since they clearly were in the wrong and I did my due diligence before buying the product but instead they put me through ringer first. JUST DO THE RIGHT THING!! And, again, by not updating their website STILL says a lot about how little they care about their customers and are trying to hide ingredients.
