Awful Product, Deceptive Practices, and Dismissive Customer Service – AVOID THIS COMPANY
IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT PURCHASING, MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS! I wish I had never wasted my money on Füm. The product is absolutely not fit for purpose and fails to deliver on the claims made in their advertising. If you're considering buying this product to replace vaping or for any other purpose, don’t do it. Here's why: - False Advertising: Füm promotes this product as a replacement for vaping, but the experience is nothing like what they claim. The flavours are unpleasant and feel like a cheap gimmick rather than a thoughtful solution. The product itself is overpriced for what it is and entirely underwhelming. - Ignored Refund Requests: When I contacted their customer service about my dissatisfaction, I was repeatedly dismissed by their representative, who sent copy and paste responses that completely ignored the details of my complaint. Füm refused to honour my refund request, citing a “hygiene policy” that does not override my consumer rights. - Deceptive Policies: They used to offer a "Try & Track" guarantee, where dissatisfied customers were promised a refund if the product didn’t meet expectations. This policy was still visible on their social media when I purchased the product, but they now claim it has been discontinued. Why was it not updated? Customers should not be penalised for Füm’s failure to communicate policy changes. - Unethical Refund-for-Review Program: I received multiple emails from Füm offering me a 100% refund in exchange for a positive review. This is nothing short of blackmail. Fake reviews damage the credibility of every positive comment on their website and social media. Are you seriously telling me I’d get my money back if I lied? That’s manipulative, unethical, and outright disgraceful. - Silencing Feedback: When I tried to share my concerns publicly on their social media, my comments were hidden to prevent others from seeing them. Rather than address issues transparently, Füm goes out of its way to bury them. - No accountability from leadership: I sent emails to both founders, after being ignored by customer service. Conveniently, their IT policies rejected my emails... It seems they’ve set up barriers to avoid hearing from dissatisfied customers. I also messaged Braeden on LinkedIn, and unsurprisingly, he hasn’t bothered to reply. The lack of accountability starts at the top. Braeden and the team are clearly not interested in resolving legitimate customer concerns, only in silencing them with bribes for fake reviews. This company does not care about its customers. They refuse to honour legitimate refund requests, fail to uphold their own guarantees, and instead manipulate customers into leaving fake positive reviews. Their product is overpriced, underwhelming, and not worth the frustration you’ll endure trying to get any support from their team. Do yourself a favour - don’t waste your money on this. Look elsewhere for a solution, because Füm will leave you feeling cheated, unheard, and completely dissatisfied. To the founders, if you’re reading this, maybe take a moment to step up and address the problems in your company instead of ignoring customers who have legitimate grievances. It’s shameful how this situation has been handled. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. EDIT - you are denying that you offer a full refund for a positive review - I have proof of this in the form of two emails! Happy to send to whoever would like to see this for proof!!!!
Response from FÜMNov 25, 2024
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your negative experience and take your concerns seriously. Let us address a few points: 1. Product Experience: We aim to provide a helpful tool for behavioural support, but we understand it may not work for everyone. If the flavors weren’t to your liking, we’d love to help find something better suited for you. 2. Refunds & Policies: While we adhere to our hygiene policy for safety reasons, we apologize if there was confusion or if you felt dismissed. The "Try & Track" guarantee was phased out, but we should have communicated this more clearly. 3. Customer Support: We strive to respond thoughtfully to every inquiry and never intend to dismiss concerns. If there were issues with communication or follow-up, we’d be happy to investigate further and make it right. 4. Transparency: We do not provide refunds in exchange for positive reviews. We encourage all customers to share their honest feedback, as this helps us improve and better serve our community. Your concerns are valuable to us, and we’re committed to improving. Please reach out directly so we can assist you further. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
