Would not recommend.
October 25, 2016

Customer support through e-mail and phone is atrocious; e-mail "matches" are pretty far-fetched.

I am not reviewing the results of my DNA, but I am upset that I had to pay $12 shipping and another $3 to send my samples.

Dear Jennifer,

I regret to find that you were unaware of the shipping charges involved in your DNA kit purchase. I can understand how frustrating it may be and I sympathize with your efforts.

Your feedback and overall satisfaction is very important to us and I would like to see what can be done about this.

In order to help, I must first locate your account. Please e-mail me at your registered e-mail address at rafael.vipsupport@myheritage.com. I'd be happy to help with the highest form of priority.

Sincerely Yours
Rafael

Dear Allison,

I regret to find that you were charged for an annual membership without knowing of the annual membership charge and I will do all I can to help.

Firstly, I must clarify that Myheritage informs all of the annual charge and its price on the automatic e-mail that is sent out after you enroll in the membership and after every renewal. Also, one may view the status or cancel an annual subscription at any time when logging in to MyHeritage and going to your My Purchases page and incur no annual charge.

Your MyHeritage member experience is very important to us and we really do value the satisfaction of all of our members. This is why our terms and conditions read that If you are not satisfied with your purchased plan you may request a full refund by contacting Customer Support within thirty (30) days of the initial purchase date of the subscription.

Please write to me from your registered MyHeritage email address to: dean.vipsupport@myheritage.com and I will assist you with your case personally.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,
Dean,
MyHeritage Team.
