  I received a package of products in December that I did not order from this company. There was no invoice or return information. 2 months later I noticed a chard on my HSA Medical Reimbursement debit account in the amount of $271.11. I did not authorize this amount and it was debited from my account on December *********.

  We appreciate receiving this message. We have been in touch with our ************* team and they have been able to locate the customer's request to remove her as a distributor. We have forwarded that request to the appropriate department to assist with the cancellation of the distributor account. 
  
  As to the refund for the return, we see that we have not received tracking information for the return, so we are unable to confirm at this time that it has arrived in our return center. If it has arrived, then the return and refund should be processed within the regular processing window. We have also contacted our ************* team and advised them to watch both cases so that a resolution may be reached soon.

  I was told from a previous complaint that they would put $189 on my account. I had went in several times to my account to place an order and the items I was looking to order was out of stock. Due to this issue the $189 dollars expired on my account. They refuse to put it back on my acct. Also they was holding money to be put on my card as well. I told them to go ahead and release $52 dollars of it. I was told when I wanted to use that money to contact support for that. Which I did. It was more than $52 dollars. Now they coming up saying Please note that we have granted one-time agreement on adding the $52 Product Credit and we are unable to add any further Product Credit. Which I stated to them The credit was more than $52. So that would not be correct. Thank you for your quick response. We are unable to fulfill your request, since we have already granted a one time exception on adding the $52 Product credit to your account. So they are trying to steal more of my money. I have advised them they need to keep there products in stock. They refuse to even ship to my mailing address. I have to have it shipped to my neighbors house. They need to stop trying to take people's money. Which is what they have done. They stole that money from me. Since you never keep products in stock and you are stealing my money then just refund my money with a check. That way I can be done with your company!

  The $189 in product credit in question was added in August of 2023, following customer's ******************** complaint. While restating the company's product credit expiration policies, we advised customer that, as an exception, we would hold an amount of $189 to be added to customer's account at a date when the ********************** she desired were available. This decision specifically countered the customer's complaint about in-stock **********************, since we gave her the power to decide when the product credit would be added to her account. Our records indicate that she asked for it to be added to her account that month, and thus should have been used before its natural expiration date. 

  The company's decision not to process orders to customer's address follows a history of credit card chargebacks and abuses of our returns policy. This is intended to protect the company from further abuses at the hands of this customer. As mentioned in past responses to customer's ******************** complaints, we'd advise that if customer is continually having a negative experience consuming our products, she may find a more suitable experience purchasing from a different entity.

  Complaint: 21122731
  
  I am rejecting this response because I had informed them the products was out of stock.  I just had them weeks ago to add $52 dollars to my account that is owed to me plus more.  They added that then come up and say they will not add the rest.  After this was done I went to place my order on the product and it comes up an error message about payment.  I have sent several emails about this and was told last week someone would reach out to me within 2-3 days.  They have not done so.  I guess they waiting for that to expire as well.  I was told it would expire in Feb.  This is not my fault the error is on there end.  Like I have stated several times they need to keep the products in stock.  I just wish to use the credits that are owed to me so I can be done with Younique!  So they can either pay cash on what they owe me or ship the products I need when they in stock.  It was not my fault when the $189 was applied you didn't have the items.  You need to stop trying to steal from people 
  
  Sincerely,

  I ordered 2 different foundations. Received them and they are way to dark. I did a return with the love it guarantee. It came up saying products didn’t need to be returned. Then I get a email saying I need to return. I told them to email me a prepaid label and they refuse. I told them it came up it they didn’t have to be returned. Said they could do me a favor and give me $10 dollar credit to use to cover cost of shipping. Told them I was not interested in that. They also have not credited the money to my ycash for the products either which is what was chosen.

  

  Business response

  After reviewing the customer's complaint along with their tickets with our Customer Care and Loss Prevention teams, the following has been determined:
  
  Firstly, Younique's official return policy (the "Love It Guarantee") requires products to be shipped back at the customer's expense for exchanges. We have attached the policy to this message, but also quote the following for convenience. “Orders eligible for return will receive a return mailing address and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number that will be needed to process your return. You are responsible for any shipping costs associated with sending the product back.” The ability to receive product credit without returning items as an exchange option is offered as a goodwill gesture, but is not necessitated by our official policies.
  
  Secondly, customer has shown a history of receiving a high rate of initiating exchanges to receive product credit without returning the purchased items. This history and multiple chargeback issues, as well as a history of making BBB complaints to force concessions higher than those received by other consumers, have led us to the decision to not make further concessions at this time. We will still happily honor the Love It Guarantee and provide the customer with a product exchange should they wish to pursue that route. 
  
  Should the customer feel that the company's policies and solutions are consistently dissatisfactory (as customer's activity shows), we would suggest that they find alternative cosmetics to purchase.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:  As I stated it came up that the products didn't need to be returned.  And if you get the message saying they do not need to be returned then you get an email saying they need to be returned then you need to pay for the shipping not me.  You also stated the following: The ability to receive product credit without returning items as an
  exchange option is offered as a goodwill gesture, but is not
  necessitated by our official policies.

  SO i WOULD SAY IT IS NOT A GOODWILL GESTURE.

  Maybe Younique needs to look at making changes to there policy's.  sounds like Younique don't need to offer a love it guaturatee.  Maybe if the younique rep tells a customer they need a certain color and it does not match them maybe make them pay for the return.  Because that was the issue.  I was told that was the color that I need from a younique rep and the color is way to dark for me skin tone.  I'm not paying to ship it back!  Maybe if you do what you suppose to do then people would not have to file complaints with the better business bureau.
  
  Sincerely,

  I have right much YCash to use on there products. The products I was always interested in buying was always out of stock when I would look. So I was not able to use the ycash that I had. It expired so I sent them an email in regards to this. Letting them know they needed to keep products in stock so people can use there ycash before it runs out. They refuse to put all of it back. Which is not right because that is my money. I asked them if they would refund the money instead of ycash and they also refused. Said they don't do that. your account has been flagged and forwarded to the Loss Prevention Department. From now on, all claims will be forwarded directly to the Loss Prevention Department, who will decide on the outcome of your claims after investigation. Which makes no sense why they are having to deal with this. anytime you send an email you have to wait for response then they say someone will reach out. previous activity of receiving large amounts of product credit in the past, we will not be issuing the other expired product credit (I will allow you to keep the 71.20 product credit which was given yesterday). Please be aware that product credit cannot be transferred to a payment method such as PayPal or a credit card since it is only product credit that can be used at Younique-WHICH I'M TRYING TO USE AT YOUNIQUE BUT, CAN'T WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE STUFF IN STOCK. that was on the July 7th from them. I emailed them back asking for there address so I could file this. Sent a couple emails and didn't get response back until July 18th. and this is what she said Please let us know if there is anything we can do to work with you further regarding your concerns to your satisfaction. Thank you, Kimberly M Younique Loss Prevention Team I emailed back today saying this- The only thing you can do is put the money back on ycash. AND I HAVE YOU HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE. TOTAL AMT LOST WAS $260.20. NEVER GOT EMAIL ABOUT IT GOING TO EXPIRE EITHER.

  We have contacted our Customer Care team and worked with them to provide a solution for the customer. While customer elected to engage in no-shipping returns and receive product credit (which expires after 30 days as noted in the returns portal), we have secured an exception to add the product credit back to the customer's account once the products they desire are in stock. 

  We trust this will resolve the issue to the customer's satisfaction.

  I am rejecting this response because:  Again went to order and says out of stock until Oct 6th.  Which is the Gleaming moodstruck stick eyeshadow.  so they are saying in the email that it will expire on Aug 31st.  We have added $189.00 in product credit back to your account. This credit is set to expire on August 31st 2023 if not redeemed. This expiration date is visible in your product credit ledger.
  
  Again. this is a one time exception to our policies and procedures surrounding product credit. In the future we will not be able to make the exception to add product credit back to your account once it has expired. 
  
  If you should have any further questions or concerns please let us know. 
  
  
  They are bad to always be out of there products.  Due to them always being out of products they need to change that policy about the time frame you have to use the product credit.  OR either keep the products in stock

  We have continued to correspond with the customer and, after adding the product credit back at her own request, she expressed concerns about its potential expiration before the restock of product she desired. We've notified her that should this amount expire before it's used, we'd be willing to re-add it as an exception, while advising that other product credit going forward will be subject to regular expiration policies.

  We believe this matter can be resolved as all the current product credit in question is available for use now or at a later date.

  I purchased a spray foundation from Younique. When it arrived the nozzle was broken off and foundation was everywhere. They did not provide either a receipt nor a return address which was very fishy. I had to ****** the address to the company to ship the product back. I included all of my information on a piece of paper and also put it in the box. After weeks of not hearing anything I reached out to Younique who claims they never received my return. They refuse to refund me. I have researched and reached out to quite a few people and there are many complaints of the same exact thing happening to others. This is not right and they need to be held accountable.

  A rep of yours ********************* ordered products they came to my address by mistake I not knowingly thought they were purchased by my daughter then I get told that no its a mistake been sent out to wrong people and I was to pay ***** for the products I did not want nor order these I had no idea why they were sent to my address no notifications till four days after delivery by at which point my daughter had used the products. I have had to pay for these and Im not happy that I have had to pay for something I didnt order and that was sent to me by mistake! Surely paying delivery on products sent to reps of your company you must have some insurance covering loss of products or in this case mistakenly delivered I dont see why I should have to pay the bill!! Its not very good proactive for reps to send products to clients by mistake then expect them to pay the bill for their or the companies error what if I had not got the money?? I have paid on this occasion and I will not be paying again if this is to happen again. I want my money back please as it was not my order and not my mistake!

  We have investigated the facts of this complaint and have been in touch with both the Complainant and the Presenter involved. We believe this was simply a Presenter error, and have advised that because the Complainant paid the Presenter directly she will need to get refunded through that individual.  But we are working to coordinate that refund process with them both and will continue to stay involved until the situation is resolved.

  My account was suspended 3 weeks ago due to my mom filing a fraud charge. She had completely forgot about the subscription. Younique told me the bank needs to get in contact with them to drop dispute. They have…twice and my account is STILL suspended. Very, very frustrated with this company.

  I have emailed through the website and also ******** messenger and I did just leave a voicemail for the first time. I would like my entire account cancelled and to no longer have a login. I would like it completely cancelled and no one at this company can help me with this. I don't want to be a presenter I don't want any products I don't want to spend any money with this company. I wish to have the account cancelled.

  

  Business response

  08/29/2022

  We have researched the Presenter/customer history for this individual and discovered that she contacted our Support team on June 28, 2022 to request an account cancellation and was advised that her account was terminated on April 1, 2021 at which time it was converted to a customer account.  Our agent informed her that we do not cancel customer accounts because there is no contract between Younique and a customer, but noted that the data on her account could be deleted upon request.  At that time she did not follow up to confirm that she would like her data removed. Upon receipt of the instant complaint on August 19, we again reached out by email and phone call to ask if she wanted her account data removed.  She confirmed that she did, and that action was taken.  We believe this matter to be resolved.
