Non existent customer support
Non existent customer support. I was really keen on buying tirzepatide from them but I had 3 questions I wanted answered to reassure myself before committing. I sent them an email. The next day I get an SMS from bot “Olivia” saying I had left something unfinished in my order. I replied that could she answer my questions that I had emailed the day before? She said I have to wait 48 hours for email replies but she can answer me right away if I ask them here in text. I ask “does the medication come in an injectable pen or a vial?”. The bot says “I’m transferring you to orders team to answer. They’ll assist you shortly”. This was at 9 in the morning. 5 hours pass by. I write “I’ve been waiting for 5 hours. I hope you’re not this unresponsive to your customers.” The bot says “I’m escalating this to our orders team for immediate support.” This was at 2pm. Another 7 hours later at 9pm I write “Pretty awful support”. The bot says the exact thing as before “I’m escalating ..” If I can’t get a response from a person and am left in the dark like this how can I trust this business? I have the screenshot of the times of the messages but trustpilot doesn’t let me paste it here. No doubt another bot from NewSelf will be busy writing boilerplate garbage response to my review here. UPDATE: 9:33pm, on Friday, 55 hours after my email to support@newself, and 36 ½ hours after my SMS to bot ‘Olivia’. Nothing. No response. It boggles the mind they have a bot to respond to bad review so fast, instead of taking 5 minutes to answer my questions that I had asked via email and SMS. Like clockwork the newself team (be it bot or else) has been hard at work responding within a few hours with a full page response to my review. What is glaringly obvious is they spend an incredible amount of time building their image than actually responding to genuine customer questions. And by customers I include potential customers. Look at the defensive posture. They claim the phone chat is only to route questions. That is wrong. The bot “Olivia” said “If you need help right now feel free to ask them right here!”, If you need HELP RIGHT NOW. That is the exact wording of their text. What is the use of this bot? Secondly, the defense that “you’re not a customer, . Thank God I’m not a customer. I am not going to commit and spend money and THEN find out whether I can talk to a person. What a rubbish defense. The 48 email response. Well it is NOW 55 1/2 HOURS since my email. I mean, what else can I say? This is a website, with no phone, and you can’t get an answer. NewSelf team need to fix something in their system that is broken, or come up with new excuses. The good news is that this type of interaction is a good barometer of how not to select a compounding pharmacy.

Hi Armen, Your review contains several inaccurate assumptions and mischaracterizations that need to be corrected. First, our support is not “non-existent.” We clearly disclose that email inquiries are answered within up to 48 hours, which you were explicitly informed of. That timeframe was communicated transparently and was still well within policy at the time you chose to post this review. Second, our SMS assistant is designed to route inquiries to the appropriate team, not to provide medical or product-handling details that require human verification. You were correctly escalated to the orders team, and escalation does not mean “instant availability,” especially outside standard operating hours. Third, no purchase was completed, no payment was taken, and no service was denied. Labeling a business as untrustworthy or implying misconduct without having engaged in a transaction is speculative and unfair. Lastly, dismissing any response as “boilerplate garbage” before it is even provided reflects pre-judgment rather than a genuine attempt to resolve a concern. We respond publicly to ensure accuracy and transparency, not automation. We stand by our communication timelines, our escalation process, and our ethical business practices. Customers who choose to proceed receive full support through proper channels. — The NewSelf Team
