DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY
I ordered 2 pillows from Buffy, Company on 8/1/2025. They arrived 3 days later. The company was supposed to not bill the purchase for a 7-day free trial, but they billed it on August 1st. I unwrapped 1 of the pillows to try it out & found it uncomfortable for my neck. I contacted Buffy asking to return the pillows & letting them know that only 1 was not in its original packaging. A week later, I heard from them via email asking if the pillows were in their original packaging & not addressing my request for a return. I told them again that one of the pillows was still in its original packaging & I wanted to return them both for a refund according to THEIR COMPANY POLICY. I didn't hear from them & after 2 weeks I contacted my credit card company to dispute the charges on my bill. Buffy responded to the credit card company that the charges were correct & appropriate. A couple weeks later Buffy sent me an email saying that I should donated the pillows to a non-profit and send them PROOF OF the DONATION by taking a picture of the receipt & email it to them. I did as instructed & 2 weeks later I received an email from them stating: Thanks so much for reaching back out. I just tried to process your refund, but there was an error message, and the refund was not successful. It seems that because a dispute (chargeback) has been initiated by your bank, we are unable to refund you at this time. Going forward, I believe the refund will need to be processed by your bank. I've included a screenshot of the refund attempt (from your order details page). I recommend reaching out to your bank to see how long refunds typically take to process via a chargeback. I heard from my credit card company & they are not issuing a refund & consider the case closed. I am out $87.40 & I am warning anybody considering a purchase from Buffy not to go ahead since they do not honor their own free trial & return policies. This is the WORST COMPANY I have ever dealt with & I am not alone. There are a significant number of reviews that stated the exact experience that I had with Buffy Co.

Hi Geri, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with your return and truly value your feedback. Once a chargeback is submitted through your bank, we’re unfortunately unable to issue a refund back to your original payment method - as Shopify prevents further changes to the order when a chargeback is reported. I completely understand your frustration, and we want to make this right. I’ve asked our Customer Experience team to reach out to you directly to help resolve the situation. Thank you for bringing this to our attention — we appreciate your patience as we work with you to find a solution. Sleep Well, The Buffy Team
