Response from Maxaroma.comMar 16, 2022
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
In regards to your claim, please be aware that we have tried everything in our power to make things right for you. We do accept our mistake by not gift wrapping one of your items and it so happens that this item was slightly damaged during transit. We received your picture of one of the corners of the packaging of the hand cream being bent, which is to be expected sometimes. Our first offer was for $12.00 as store credit, which you refused. Later on, another agent offered you $35.00 as store credit, which you still refused. Lastly, we offered an exchange and provided you with a return label and your response was "I don't want anything. you have bad service". Please be advised that this product alone on retail price is $98.00 and you used a coupon code which generated a 30% discount plus you received a free bundle (worth $120.00). All in all you paid $68.6 for this hand cream and our best offer was to give you $35.00 OR an exchange. Since you refused to our offers, we could not move forward to try to solve this issue.
However, if you are still willing to work with us, we can still replace this hand cream if it has not been used.
Please send us a new email to [email protected] if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
Maxaroma Customer Care Team

Bad customer service
(Mistakenly) decided to go for another purchase after my previous bad experience.
Bad customer service (cannot access my customer account with rewards - no answer for 2 weeks, then 1 email asking for screenshot, and next day another email stating 'we didn't receive a reply, thus we close the case'), and do not honor terms of contract (gift cards can be transformed in standard store credits to be used later on request, they did not assist in that).
Advertisement in regard to promotional 'gift cards' sent as special is purposedly lacking information, with no fine prints, but they decide the terms later.
In a nutshell: do not trust 'gift card' offers, only purchase if you can get a discount applicable right at checkout.
Side note: even with occasional discounts, many other online discounters offer better (regular) pricing most of the time. Maxaroma is only worth it (pricewise) on ultra niche stuff that one cannot find anywhere else, and only when deep promotional discount is active. Otherwise, better target another retailer if one has to go for stuff widely available or if going at msrp.
Also: the decant sprayers they use is of poor quality, of the 5 I ordered from them, 2 are malfunctioning, I had to transfer the juice in another sprayer, with a loss of juice.
Edit to address Maxaroma's answer:
Your terms states:
'Private and confidential information will be instantly deleted from the comments section in order to protect the rights of the commenter.' on Maxaroma.com.
As a result, you (shamefully) disclosed my identity and order details here.
1. Not sure why you provide that info, I never asked for it. But ok.
2.
- "We consider our Gift Cards that were provided as part of a promotion to be a “Gift”.[...] MaxAroma.com is not obligated for promotional items /samples.'
A Gift certificate is not a free sample, nor an promotional item. This is no gift. This is an expected gift card that I paid for, part of the promotional offer.
What you consider now doesn't matter, only the terms of contract. Never have you specified that the 'gift card' in this promotion marketing would have different terms than regular e-gift cards, that these could not be applied to store credit, nor that there would be a minimum spending to apply these coupons. You only specified a time frame to use them, that's all. Only the terms of sales matters, which specifically states on YOUR website:
'MaxAroma.com E-Gift Certificates have no fees and do not expire, and may be used as cash on the MaxAroma.com website' [...] 'Customers may apply E-Gift Certificate balances toward their My Aroma Store Credit Account for future purchases.'
I asked to apply the gift card balance to my store credit within the time frame you provided (or to issue a single $60 gift card if you were unable to solve your IT issues) , you declined.
3. Of course I checked out as a guest.... what is the part you don't understand when I state I CANNOT LOGIN and you didn't provide any assistance? Because of the poor customer service, I did not get a chance to earn my due rewards.
4. Yes indeed. At some point I gave up communicating with you (6-8emails in a single month for just $60) and decided to use the 2 gift cards on two items I did not especially desire in order not to loose the 2*$30 (since the items I wanted to buy were all out of stock - a common thing at Maxaroma).
And indeed I have not enough rewards, because I cannot login and cannot accumulate them, nor redeem them (had I earned all the rewards that I missed due to login issue you refused to address).
5. I already did. Instead of resolving the issue after the first email, by sending me a return slip and a new atomizer with fragrance, you only sent me an empty atomizer after 5-6 emails and yes... 'not our problem, do it yourself' to unmount, transfer the juice, and I lost half of it as a result. Thank you Maxaroma!
You did not make things right - and clearly are only pretending you want to do so.
Your answer, and the way you are handling this umpteenth issue, is a further demonstration of your lack of professionalism, and confirms my comment in regard to the poor customer service.
I haven't asked for favor treatment, just to receive the service I paid for, within the terms of contract, but you violated these. Not worth going to court for just $60, but since you disclosed my name, worth going for online harassment.

Hello,
We appreciate your feedback.
1.- In regards to our Reward Point program, that way it works is as follows:
- Every new customer will get 150 reward points for opening an account.
- Every dollar spent on our website = 1 reward point.
- In order to redeem your reward points, you have to have at least 500 points accumulated, which will give you an automatic discount of $5.00.
- The discount will be provided in increments of $5.00 only.
https://www.maxaroma.com/reward-point-program.html
2.- In regards to our Gift Cards provided as part of a promotion (only for a limited time). Your applicable purchase was done for the Black Friday special, which we sent you 2 gift cards in automated emails, back on 12/26/2021 and 01/04/2022. With every automated email, we do mention that there is a minimum amount to be able to use a gift card, respectively. These specific e-gift cards are meant to be used for the month that was provided, therefore, they cannot be combined in a single purchase. If you have a store credit and/or reward point in your account, you will be able to combine a gift card with your store credit/reward points. We consider our Gift Cards that were provided as part of a promotion to be a “Gift”. Therefore, the value of this e-gift card cannot be refunded back as a monetary value.
As our Policy states:
“FREE GIFT WITH PURCHASE
At MaxAroma.com we acknowledge the importance of our clientele, which is why we offer our customers free gifts with qualifying purchases. This feature is merely an approach to portray gratitude and keep our clientele satisfied, as our customers are of the utmost significance to our business.
MaxAroma.com is not obligated for promotional items /samples. MaxAroma.com will include Free Gifts /samples that are available in stock for qualifying orders.We do not accept the request for sending out specific samples.”
https://www.maxaroma.com/terms-and-conditions.html#Promotional-Offers
3.- Regarding your reward points based on your order history, I verified that you did not get your reward points for the following orders: OR73464, OR208451, OR230496 & OR230505. The reason behind this is because you checked out as a “Guest” and did not log in to your Maxaroma account, hence, our website will not recognize these orders eligible for a reward points program. Please make sure to login before you place an order with us.
4.- Regarding the issue of “not being able to use a gift card”, I could see that you already used both gift cards in different orders. The gift card provided on 12/26/2021, was used on your order OR230496, which gave you a $30.00 discount. The gift card provided on 01/04/2022 was used on your order OR230505 which also gave you a $30.00 discount. Again, if you are wondering why you were not able to use these gift cards with your rewards points, it’s because you do not have enough reward points available at this moment, you currently have 298 points as it is stated in your Maxaroma profile, once you log in.
5.- Regarding the issue from last year about the defective 8 ml atomizers, please keep in mind that we refill our 8 ml atomizers by hand and like anything that is handmade, there is room for error. Nonetheless, we will always work with our customers to fix any inconvenience that may appear along the way. If you were not happy with the outcome, we always welcome our customers to send us a new email explaining the situation. We will always make sure that our customers are happy and will do everything possible to redeem ourselves by doing the right deed.
All in all, I hope that this helps to clarify any confusion that you may have encountered while shopping with us, but if your concerns have not been addressed, please feel free to send us a new email to [email protected].
Kind regards,
Maxaroma Customer Care Team

I had a horrible experience with this…
I had a horrible experience with this company. I had an $80 gift certificate that the company sent to me from the company. When I tried to make a purchase with the gift it wouldn't work. I spoke with someone over the phone and was told I was given the gift card in error. I was also recommended by a coworker to this site he was given a set of samples of parfum de Marley with other samples as well. I spent over 3 times as much as my coworker and received zero samples with my purchase made 2 days after my coworkers.
Response from Maxaroma.comJan 6, 2022
Dear Mark, Thank you for your feedback. We always try to be transparent about any promotions we have same as this one.
Please note that we offered $20 E-Gift Certificate on Every $100 Spent. The E-Gift Card was sent to you and it was used on Order OR221508, which you received the $80 Discount and the package was delivered.
Regarding the Parfums De Marly Samples, we had a promotion 2 weeks ago, that if you buy a full bottle of Parfums De Marly, you will receive a Free Discovery Bundle of the brand. If your coworker received the bundle is because he purchased it during that time . So if your purchase was not during the promotion and there was no Parfums De Marly purchase, then the bundle would not be included in the box.

Worst Service Ever! Nonexistent!
***Edit*** Updated Dec. 4, 2021 After placing a negative review on Trustpilot on Dec. 2, 2021, a rep from Maxaroma finally reached out to me almost immediately! (I guess that's how to get their attention.) Had I not placed the negative review below I would probably still be waiting. Note that this product - Juliette has a gun - NOT a Perfume SUPERDOSE 3.3 oz 100 ml bottle of Eau de Parfum is a TESTER and I don't believe it's authentic. It didn't come in the retail product's box. The bottle is poorly shrink-wrapped with a plastic label rather than painted on like the retail product. The fragrance is heavily diluted and fades rapidly after a few minutes. The regular retail Superdose fragrance will last on the body for many hours (up to 2 days). Also, beware that if you have an issue with an order or want to return a product don't be surprised if no one responds to you until you put a negative review on Trustpilot. Then a Maxaroma rep will reach out to you. That's what happened to me. In Maxaroma's favour, they did gift me the inferior quality product I was trying to return for a refund since it would have cost them more in shipping charges than the product was worth. They wanted to give me a store credit, but I insisted on a refund. They did process the refund to my credit card and asked me to consider revising my review here. So I have. I will never buy from them again! They sell crappy knock-off products and no customer service until you complain publicly. Shame on Maxaroma!! *** End of Edit*** Have been trying for days to get Maxaroma to respond to my timely request to return an unsatisfactory item. I submitted the online “return request” a week ago and still no response. So I’ve emailed customercare at maxaroma.com, phoned the cust srvc (no answer) and left a message, and tried to “chat” with an employee through their “Live Chat” feature on their website. It’s not live, just a automatic scripted response to their limited questions. Nobody is getting back to me! They give customers 30 days to return a product with the RMA but they won’t issue the RMA! At the rate they’re not going soon it’ll be past the 30 days! Not my fault! I have never experienced such poor customer service in my life!!

Hi Elizabeth. So sorry to hear you weren't able to get ahold of any of our customer service agents. We are experiencing an unusual amount of calls and emails because of the Holiday Season.
We tried to make this process as seamless as possible for you. Since you are in Canada, returning perfumes are not easy. It needs Dangerous good certification and this process was costly and time-consuming. We issued a full refund to close this case in a timely manner. We responded to your email in 48 hours and the case was resolved in less than 6 hours.
