I’m having a customer service nightmare with this company. My dogs have been eating raw grinds for months. I wanted to try Darwin’s because it’s a little more cost effective than my other raw grinds. Plus I saw the ad pictured on their Instagram, “50% off entire order”. That’s an amazing deal, of course I’m excited to start off with this company at 50% off and free shipping. The website clearly stated “20lb MINIMUM” in multiple places which was fine, because I wanted to place an order of 50lbs as shown below. At checkout my finalized order summary said that I would receive my introductory order of 50lbs of Darwin’s meals for $115.75. I thought this was such a great deal that I recommended this company to my friend who also feeds raw grinds. She was also more than happy to place an order through the company and start a reoccurring order with them. Her order was just under 50lbs and around the same price and mine said it would be. Saying no where that there was a limit on the introductory 50% off order. When I got my shipment I thought the box felt very light... upon opening it I find only 20lbs of meals not 50. Then see that my card is only charged $42.80. This is not what I ordered, this is not what my order summary said I would get when I placed the order. I emailed the company to let them know and they said that the introductory order is limited to 20lbs.... It never said this during the 50% off promotion once on their website or on their ads for this promotion. It stated that I would get my INTRODUCTORY order of 50lbs for $115.75 throughout my entire checkout process very clearly. My friend got her package and the same thing happened, she got only 20lbs of what she ordered and emailed the company. She only had to email them 2 times before they emailed her back saying the rest of her 40something lb order was being shipping her to right away at the 50% off with free shipping! I did not get this response from the company. Over and over they keep saying ” We apologize for the misunderstanding any confusion.” “I do apologize that we were unable to fulfill your request for a fifty pound introductory offer” “The offer was set up with 20 lbs being the minimum, however if you have screenshots that show differently, I would be happy to share those with our Marketing Team and also my Manager for resolution.” Their website clearly stated what my introductory order would be. It is not my fault that marketing failed to put any limits or disclaimers on the ads. It is not my fault that the website failed to have a disclaimer anywhere during this 50% off special throughout the checkout process. It said that I would be charged $115.75 for my introductory order of 50lbs. The person sitting right next to me who ordered after me, that I had order through this company got the rest of her order while I’ve been emailing Darwin’s customer service for a week about this. False advertisement and inconsistent customer service. They also canceled my reoccurring order and terminated my account without asking or letting me know.
