DO NOT GET SCAMMED!
June 27, 2021

This is a joke!;! Signed up for monthly service on 6/20. By the 25th it still had not sent my letter, card, postcard or photos. It was a 7 day trial but they scam you. It says they are sent right away for their 19.95 monthly fee but all they do is take your money! NOW WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY FOR THE MONTHLY IF NOTHING WAS SENT DURING TRIAL?
DO NOT SIGN UP! COMPLETE SCAM!

Hello Kimberly, I apologize for the inconvenience, usually our orders are shipped out within 3-5 business days, but since we had such a high volume of orders due to Father's day, it caused a bit of a delay on the shipment of our orders. We will make sure to send your letter as soon as possible and make this right for you, and please feel free to contact us at 1-800-323-9895 Mon- Fri 6am-6pm pst if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Hi Champagne, I apologize for this inconvenience. Yes that is a fee that is automatically charged to Pigeonly accounts depending on your subscription type.The good news is our refund policy is simple so if you were charged incorrectly the appropriate department will correct the issue and refund the charges right away. Have you received any refund as of yet?
The process to receive a refund can be as quick as 3 days but can take as long as 14 days, depending on your bank.
I will be more than happy to locate and refund any charges that were done incorrectly if it has not already been done. Our wait times have been high in the past due to the demand of our services but we have expanded our team since then and wait times are currently very low. So feel free to give us a call or provide me with your first and last name and I will be more than happy to locate and refund the charges.

HORRIBLE- STAY AWAY!
December 6, 2021

I cancelled this service 2 months ago after having it for a few months to try it out. Cancel means cancel, I dont use the service, they dont provide services right? NO... I didnt use the service for the last couple months and woke up this morning to look at my bank statement and there was a charge from them that was DOUBLE what the monthly subscription amount was. WHO DOES THIS! I won't lie down and allow this, I have seen other negative reviews but gave them the benefit of the doubt. That got me nowhere. Also, while I did have the service only half of the items I even ordered got to my loved one. This is a scam and it needs to stop. They have NO customer service skills and the little help they do have is not capable. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Fraud
September 7, 2022

I am TOTALLY irritated. I heard it was fraudulant and people were complaining but that was after I setup an account. The app is supposedly free. It is not! I had to enter cc info why? I didn't finish cc info so when they tried to charge my card it was declined. Weeks later I was miraculously charged. They make it impossible to cancel and get a refund. I called support and was on hold over an hour... no answer. If you request a call back you won't EVER get one. If you cancel through the app you don't get a refund. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS APP TO ANYONE!

Pigeonly is a joke when it comes to Customer Service and/or Relations.
I have been in weekly contact with these people since March 22 of this year in regards to a refund.
At first I was told there are absolutely no refunds.
(Until I the next day when I told them my son was never at the facility I paid for.)
I was "granted" (their word) a FULL REFUND on March 28.
On April 28 I received seven dollars and ninety nine cents out of a forty dollar refund.
I have been told on more than one occasion, by David Claiborne, that it is a glitch in the new computer system.
I call and get left on hold for fifteen minutes only to be hung up on. I call right back and my call is never answered by a representative.
I was told that his schedule is very busy so perhaps using Email would be better. (That is not the case. He never responsed to my email.)
Each time I have spoken with this company I am put off one way or another.
They are kind and very appreciative of my patience, but as in the real world they have taken advantage of my patience by sweeping my request under the rug (so to speak.)
Now

Hidden fees? Yes. Multiple fraudulent charges per month? Yes. No support? Correct. All negative reviews are accurate. If you are thinking about using this company, find another. There are others. Read the positive reviews on here and visit the reviewers' profiles. You will see that many are fakes/bots, and/or paid to write false positive reviews on other scam websites - Usually the same websites, too. Very interesting. Don't feel bad, or think that they are "just a start-up" like you will often see here and there on a Google search. They are stealing your money, hoping to get away with it, and they don't feel bad about it. They continue to charge you, and will take months to refund you the money. I once threatened to go to my bank, and I had the refund the next day. The next time I tried, it didn't phase them, and they took their time. Sadly, you are better off cancelling the card once they have the info. The downside is that this company is significantly cheaper than other inmate services - and they know that, I'm sure. But it's not worth getting your money stolen. So... Thank you, Pigeonly. Next!

Rip off!
February 13, 2019

Seems like the charge you every week for service. I called to cancel service and the charge me again a couple days later. Be careful with this company!

Date of experience: February 13, 2019

Overview

The company has garnered significant negative feedback, primarily due to persistent issues with unauthorized charges and inadequate customer service. Customers frequently report difficulties in cancelling subscriptions, resulting in repeated billing despite attempts to halt services. Many express frustration over unresponsive customer support, including disconnected phone lines and unhelpful email interactions. While some users appreciate the concept of the service for maintaining communication with incarcerated loved ones, the overwhelming sentiment is one of dissatisfaction, highlighting a critical need for improved operational integrity and customer care to restore trust and credibility.
