Nutrisystem Reviews

To get your refund if you are unsatisfied in the first 7 day mean before you even receive your food you need to cancel. If I knew the food was so tasteless I wouldn't have tried it.

Prepare yourself for a culinary letdown of epic proportions. Brace as disappointment marches in, draped in the guise of a meal. Oh, the plan you've invested in, a siren song promising satisfaction, yet lurking within its fine print, a cruel clause reveals itself: a staggering $125.00 ransom for your freedom.

And the food? A symphony of mediocrity, conducted by processed ingredients devoid of soul, leaving your taste buds to wither in despair. Freshness? A distant memory, as each bite plunges you deeper into the abyss of flavorless despair.

Similar experience to the other reviews here. They try to charge you for canceling, then customer support tells you it's your fault for not reading the fine print. The food was about what you'd expect (not good), but atrocious online experience. I feel kind of bad for support reps because they're just regular people who represent terrible companies to make a living, but it was definitely a bad support experience as well. Telling the customer, "You should have read the fine print," is a lot like saying, "You should have known not to trust us." Lesson learned, Nutrisystem.

I ordered the first package and everything went well. I hated the food. Snacks are ok but the food is awful. Then I am charged almost $500 on my credit card. I immediately call them and tell them I didn’t order anything. They say that when I bought it the first time I automatically subscribed to the meal plan. And that they couldn’t give me a refund because the order had already been fulfilled. They said they sent me an email 72 hours before but I never received it or I would have cancelled the order. Now I’m stuck with terrible food I haven’t even received yet. And I have to pay for it. It’s ridiculous. Never again. Do not recommend to anyone.

Garbage company with even worse food. I should have read more reviews. Everything is EXTREMELY processed and full of bioengineered ingredients. Everything that causes cancer! Cancelled after my first month and they charged me $125 but its cheaper than another $450 for awful food. They scam you with the cancellation fee due to how many people cancel. Its unethical.

This is basically bars and boxed food with little taste. Can't cancel online. They indicate they have a text chat for customer service, but it's just a bot, that pulls information from their FAQ. When you call you are on hold. I'm on hold 40 minutes so far, probably because I indicted I want to cancel account. If I said I was new customer I'm sure they would answer right away. Steer clear of this and work on your own to lose the weight.

Just another diet where you may or may not lose like Jenny Craig and Optavia and they are all expensive. Eating healthy is also expensive, but not as much. You need raw fresh vegetables, fruits low in sugar, protien with mostly eggs, fish, chicken, and cut the sugar intake daily by eating pistachios instead of chips, power bars instead of chocolate. You can get these great 70 calorie brownies at Walmart with great fiber. I have lost over 80 lbs on my own and kept it off because I do not diet. I did a lifestyle change.

Nutrisystem used deceptive advertising to makwe you think your are getting a discount and they make it very difficult to cancel an order. You cannot do it online. You have to do by telephone and the rep continues to try to dissuade you from cancelling. And, to top it off there is a hidden $125 cancellation fee.

Sent me the wrong food, when I contacted to let them know of their error, they insisted it was my fault and told me as a 'courtesy' they would exchange 10 items. Bad start, told them to forget it and I wanted to return everything for a refund, they charged me $125 cancellation fee. Took 2 months to dispute with credit card company, which I won. Thinking I was stuck with their food, I tried to eat a few items. They hurt my stomach and found more than one piece moldy upon opening. Decided to return everything with their 'money back guarantee, no questions asked'. I received an RMA, sent package at my cost, but was refused a refund until credit card dispute was finalized. Called them once a week until resolved, then they said they never received returned box. I had tracking and proof of delivery, they finally agreed to refund, but would only refund 30% the value of the gift cards used. I am now currently disputing that. It has been a nightmare going into its third month.

The other reviews are correct, the cs tries to tell you that you can NOT cancel after the first shipment and before the second. When I demanded they cancel it, there was a hidden $125 charge. This diet is mostly bars and highly processed tasteless food.

WARNING! Everything they offer contains Bio-engineered food ingredients. The new word for GMO or Genetically Modified Organisms. While the FDA claims these are not harmful nor was the use of Round up that caused cancer. Nutrisystem should be sued on their name alone. "Nutri" might sound healthy but the products are far from healthy. GMO's have been linked to a variety of health problems including cancer.

Did not receive notice of 2nd shipment and when I called was told I would be charged $520.00 for the food plus $425.00 cancellation fee, when asked to speak with mgr was not transferred. Food has too many carbs for me and did not help me lose any weight.
Unable to opt out of emails I am now receiving from them.

Let me start by saying it works! I lost over 50 in about 6 months. The frozen food is better than dry. Have realistic expectations on food. Remember this is a diet! That being said they say satisfaction guaranteed, only the first month. After that no take backs. They are nice and helpful until you go to stop plan. I had planned to still order a few items alicart even after exceeding my goals. Not anymore, I’ll find alternative else where. They acted soooo rude. Understand your contract too. You can’t cancel for a while without penalty

I don't even know where to begin but suffice to say, STEAR CLEAR! This company is very dishonest in the way they run their business. It says a lot when you try to call customer service but there is actually no option to speak with someone in customer service for an established account! Its also impossible to cancel an account on-line. You must submit a request and cross your fingers. Still have not heard back. Its a law suit waiting to happen!

Nutrisystem why don't you answer your phones or have a call back process instead of being so primitive? I need a RMA# and held for 1 hr yesterday and 2 hrs today and still no one answered. Your guarantee on first order is useless if you don't honor your procedure. Maybe allow RMA# to be obtained online?? Ive sent an email and now waiting for your reply.

If I could give them a negative review I would. I guess it is my fault but I called in last week and cancelled before my next shipment which was scheduled today the 11th of January. Well it shipped, when I called they had no record of my call, the last one was in March of this year. Wrong. Trying to cancel the plan with them is a nightmare of stupid questions all aimed at trying to retain as many customers as possible. I had deleted my credit card from my account and they charged to it anyway. I am filing a complaint with the BBB and broadcasting this to every social media outlet I can get in touch with.

They charge you a $125 fee if you cancel after the 1st shipment and before the second month's order is placed. Just be aware that is their "Policy" and the way they treat their customers. Their customer service has been unpleasant to deal with, to say the least.

Nutrasystem substitutes meals constantly. Today I received a shipment with 30 substitutions, all of which I would never order. I called to see what could be done and spoke with Katlyn, who explained that “it happens and if I don’t check the inventory I’m SOL.” Did you just tell me I’m SOL? She did agree to send replacements but not before getting her two cents in 3 or 4 times. Not very impressive or professional but good help is nearly impossible to find these days.

I was on Nutrisystem about 2 years ago and decided to get a few more pounds off recently. I liked the food and the company years ago but it is unrecognizable now. The customer service reps you get on the phone and ones you chat with seem like they cannot be bothered to help or answer questions. I know how orders work because I've done this before, but this time I put my 2nd order on delay through the automated system. For whatever reason that date did not stick and NS was shipping a few days early. I hadn't picked my foods yet and I hadn't gotten paid so when I got the email I immediately called cust serv. She proceeded to tell me that even though the order was just sent back to the warehouse and not fulfilled yet, there was nothing they could do. It was going to ship. I tried to speak a supervisor, etc. Noone cared. I told them I was going to refuse the dry and frozen order when it came. Again, they didn't care. I did refuse both and got charged for both. So I was without the food and out $300+ dollars. I tried working with my bank, but they have gotten very laissez faire also about helping it's customers. I would NOT recommend Nutrisytem to anyone. I'm sure there are other companies that really appreciate your business and want to be helpful.

The system is ok and handy for taking care of much of the meal planning. Much of the food isn't bad, but you cannot cancel without calling. I failed to check this first, at I do not choose to use companies that force me through their retention processes typically. Additionally, anytime you call their phone support, you are forced to listen to every single menu item option and their advertisements before you can select the right number to route your call. It is archaic and frustrating. Not for me.
