I did sign up for the free trial of this product and once I received it I went online and canceled my account. I did request to send it back but didn't realize that it had to be done by a specific date. I looked at my checking account because of some overdraft fees I was charged with. I then saw where this company had taken $90.00 from my account. My income is limited and every penny I have has a specific purpose. I now have all kinds of problems with overdrafts and no money due to this transaction. I requested my money be refunded but was told since I hadn't returned the product in time that they could only offer a store credit. THAT WON'T HELP ME. I want my money put back in my account now. Is there anywhere else to go to get help?

I too, signed up for the trial and my debit card was charged 90.00. Since I live on a very limited income and every penny is spoken for, this transaction caused a domino effect in my checking account. I now have overdraft fees on top of the $90.00 being gone. I can't get my money back because I am too late in returning the product which by the way, I don't wear. Isn't there anything that can be done to get my money refunded?

I signed up online for a free trial of makeup from GLOW and received makeup in mail and then my credit card was charged for the full amount of the makeup, around $90. Then a few months later I receive another package of makeup which I did not order with a bill for $98.50 . To return this package you are instructed to go online to glow.com and get a special label called a RMA. You are then instructed to cancel all the 'automatic refills' which I did not order. When I go online their is nowplace to click on 'free trial' The phone is not being answered. very bad business practice.

It's my personal opinion that Glow.com's free trial offer is deceiving. I signed up for a hair care trial pack. I paid $4.95 to ship it. They signed me up for an autoship of the product (which didn't work for me) and charged me $98.50. I cancelled the autoship by internet access and received a return authorization for the product. I was still confused. I thought I would receive something to send back. After 3 weeks I called to try to get a refund on my credit card. They told me the $98.50 was for the trial pack I had already received. I was supposed to send it back in 30 days if I didn't want it. The bottom line is if you sign up for a sample pack, you are also signing up for automatic shipment of their products. They don't do enough to tell the consumer that fact. I had 2 bottles I had not opened. I asked if I could return them. I was told I could only get a store credit. Worthless since I won't do business with this store again.
BE AWARE! FREE TRIAL MEANS YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR THEIR PRODUCTS!

I had the same experience with the "free trial offer" of beauty products. I called numerous times to cancel and was alwayse told they had no record of any such call. Finally, today I was more persistant and the response was that I must have called "the other company" since I had memberships in two of their companies; Glow.com and BeautyFix. I also experienced sending an unopened back after calling and getting an RMA and a promise that my credit card would be credited once they received the product. That was June and now they say it's only a store credit. I want the world to know not to do business with them. I pulled all of my credit card statements and found I was charged hundreds of dollars for shipments I never received. There's no way to return what was never received. I hope I find a way to warn everyone who may fall prey to their deception.

How did they get your credit card number? Can you cancel that credit card so they won't keep charging it? And I'm wondering how they got that other person's checking account to cause all those overdrafts.
