“Update”

Raven G.

So I am updating my review because my issue was resolved. Like everyone else, I was waiting for products with no clue when I would get them, if at all. The owner of buttersnbars finally emailed me one day and was very transparent about why no one has received their orders. She also promised to refund my money when she could. Today, I received my refund, in full, for the purchase order that prompted my first review. I am hopeful that everything will be resolved for all other parties as well, including the owner of this company.

“BEWARE! Never order from here”

This company is beyond disappointing. My mom places an order back in February valuing or $70. We have yet to receive that order. The head of the company is always making excuses as to why we haven't received it. She claims that the order was shipped out but we never received a tracking number or anything. They deserve 0 stars. PLEASE save your self the time, money, and energy! It is not worth it.

Like every other customer, I tried to order something from Butters n Bars. I ordered on 9/17/17 and did not receive my product. I was charged for it but never got it. I emailed several times and did not get a reply. I should have listened to others and never ordered anything. Thank God I ordered through Amazon Pay and I should be able to get my money back.
So much for wishful thinking!

I am so delighted to read these messages although it appears it will come with the same sentiment and more importantly "money paid out for a merchandise I did not receive". After reading these emails I now realize I may never receive my order and I've simply been "taken for granted". With that said maybe collectively this will highlight the ButtersnBars business ethics and "go out of business" or best be held accountable for their actions.

Do Not Order!

I have been waiting on the same purchase for nearly eight months! I've ordered in the past with no problem but now it's like she just took everyone's money to move to GA and could care less about filling the orders. I have emailed about dozen times, tweeted on the twitter page, and even filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau. She has responded to nothing. She is a thief, plain and simple. I am ready to seek legal action against her. Do Not Order from her! You will regret it. I am waiting on 200 dollars worth of product or a refund for Order BNB-******* and have been since Jan. 3,2017. Yet she is having flash sales and taking new orders?! Unacceptable

I finally received a response from the owner after my third email stated I wanted a refund. She assured me I would receive my product as soon as she was able to get back into her website to see the orders. She said she would refund my shipping. I have a conformation saying I should have my product by 5/8/19. However, I have not received said refund. So my review for this company is still only one star because of the amount of time it took to get my product, the lack of response on her part until I asked for my $ back and her lack of refunding me like she said she would.

Buyer beware!

I used to order from this company when it was Butters N Bars. It is now operating under Beauty Naturals Express. I placed an order and received an email stating my order was accepted. It's been over 10 days since placing my order so I went to the tab to check on my order and the website is no longer available! I have emailed the owner twice with no response!

I've shopped at BNB for years. No problem until this year. The business seems to have taken a bad hit in 2016. I did receive my money back through my bank due to BNB never delivering my product and a collection of nice emails I sent the business concerning the order.
My complaint at this time is why is the site still up and running and constantly sending me coupons knowing they aren't fulfilling orders to date! I initially felt bad for the business but now I'm concerned that ButtersNBars.com may be a fraudulent company.

Sadly, I still have not received product after reaching out and being patient.

Was promised that products would be shipped, but still have not received (both my sister and I).

I really did not want to add a bad review because I was really trying to give the company the benefit of the doubt due to the move to another state, as technical issues.

Feel really sad that a good company doesn't seem to care for its customers.

I have sent additional emails, which are being kicked back.

I wish I would have read your reviews first. On BS! Waiting on PayPal to close the dispute and refund me now. Poor business practices. I emailed her at the two week mark for status. She said she would send that week. I waited another two and emailed again. Guess what no response! Lesson learned. NEVER again. If zero was an option... that's the rating I would give!

I have been ordering from ButtersNBars for several years. I (apparently along with many others) purchased products in MARCH! Initially I wrote to them a couple of weeks after I placed my order to check on its status - A quick response from Sharika Chaney assured me that my package was scheduled to go out for delivery later that week and apologized for the delay but they were "going through a lot of changes." It's now July and I can't get ahold of anyone. Of course my credit card was charged without my package even being mailed out. Very disappointed.

I bought a lot of things and most items were fine but the natural herbal shampoo left my hair so greasy I had to wash it twice to get the oily residue out. I emailed company twice to ask a simple question but no reply. When I looked on line to write a review I found that a lot of people complained that they never got there product delivered and had to fight to get their money back

I have reached out several times and sent several emails with no response for my order #BNB1587. I am really disappointed because I am currently pregnant and was really counting on that Shea butter to keep stretch marks at bay. I have been a loyal customer for years and even told many family member about this business. Now I have to update them. I had issues with my last order and still tried again. Now to not even get a response is bad business and I am sorry to say.

I've ordered for several years from this business. Since they've changed names and the owner has gone through personal struggles, the business has never been the same. I'm still waiting to receive and order from September. Have emailed her twice with no response. There's a tracking number and order number that's shows they label was created and that's it. She had taken my payment but never delivered. It's hard to get in contact with her because she doesn't reply to the emails. Guess I'll be filing a complaint with BBB. If she's not going to do REAL business just $#*! the site down. If anyone knows of a RELIABLE business I can order raw butters from please repost to my comment. I'm more than irritated at this business and this is the second time she's done this when I placed an order. The last time took me months to finally get a reply and receive my order. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE service.

I was a very loyal customer and used to order my shea butter and African black soap religiously from them. I put in my last order in March and as of now haven't received anything. I emailed them and got no response. So I've taken my business elsewhere. It's so sad because they did have a wonderful product.

Thankfully I ordered from this site with Amazon Pay, so I'm able to dispute it and get my money back.

I went to look at the status of my order on the buttersnbars website, but it's gone. I get a proxy error every time I try.

I'd ordered from here in the past with no issues, but this go round seems more like a mad grab for our money and then shutting everything down.

Sharika responded to an email 2 weeks ago letting me know she was sick and would ship my order last week. Of course that didn't happen, and she hasn't answered my emails since.

I'd suggest using paypal or amazon if you order from this site at all. They at least have protections in place so that you can get your money back when you're inevitably swindled.

I try to give my business to small businesses. I try to support this company but their customer service leaves more to be desired. It's it HORRID. I've given them several orders and EVERYTIME it's like I have to beg and plead to her the product that I order. Just because I contact them doesn't necessarily mean that they respond either. This last order, I made in March 20th. Here is is April 14th and it hasn't even shipped! I will NEVER ORDER FROM HER AGAIN.

I love their products but they do not understand the importance of communicating with their customers. I place an order in early December, it was processed for shipping Jan 26th minus (2) items on back order. It is now mid-March. I have emailed several times, no response. I noticed they took the contact phone number off the website. Deserves a minus zero for how they treat their customers
I; m willing to work with small businesses because I, too, am trying to run a business. My business is dependent on getting my products timely. I will continue to press for my products or a refund. But the problem could be solved if someone, anyone, would respond to my communication? How hard can that be Butter N Bars?

Ordered 10/20/17 3 emails No product No email response! A week or so after I ordered in October then out up a sale so I felt then like Oh great now I'm going to be apart of a backed up holiday order. They won't respond to my emails... after reading more of these similar Bad reviews after my order date. I decided to go through with requesting a refund and yes I'm glad I went through Amazon Pay... I now don't trust the fresh and sanitary quality of Butters -N-Bars even once I get the product whenever that will be. If it was just a issue of to many orders than the solution would be to 1. Stop excepting more orders 2. Stop promoting deals 3. Stop and refund to all who request if you don't have the quality product to send... Until caught you are able to provide. From my own current experience and as well as these other reviews. It all seems Super Shady and Fraudulent so now I'm thinking if this is how the company is Unprofessionally being ran than why trust that my product is fresh and with in the right exp date of good use. I might get old stuff or poor quality thrown together stuff that's not sanitary but without me knowing... No Thx!

I essentially thought this was gonna be a great company because Curly Nikki purchased great products from them but my experience was horrible. I put in an order Feb 1st and the charge hit my account the 7th. I emailed the company after 10 business days about my order with no answer. The website says to text a number for emergencies and I would hear back within 24 hours. They contacted me 3 days later. They told me that at checkout there is a disclaimer about late shipments. I personally didn't see it. I asked for a refund. They said I'll get it but they won't reimburse the shipping cost... I noticed that night after we texted that my order was cancelled but I didn't get a refund despite waiting another 3 days. I texted them back and received an answer about getting a refund within 1-5 days depending on my card policy holder. That was Feb 24th. Since then I contacted my bank. My bank contacted them and the company said they'd send a refund. It's been 15 days since my bank contacted butters n bars and I still have no refund. This company is pathetic.

This was my first time ordering from the company and it will absolutely be my last time.
Someone recommended this company and its products to me and I really liked what I used! So when I went to place an order for myself 3 WEEKS AGO I didn't think it would take as long as it did. I reached out to the company and received a response from Sharika saying that they were behind. That was 2 weeks ago! I've e-mailed since then asking for an update and also e-mailed to cancel my order and refund the money back to my card and have heard NOTHING! Do not buy anything from this company. It seems like it's all a scam and I will report it to every possible outlet, blog it, and write as many reviews as I can so other people know the truth! It's a shame.

I ordered my products in June 28 2017. They charged me right away. I haven't received my products. I have sent them a few emails with no response, product or refund. This also was to be a 2 day priority mail! We are now in July 18 2017.

Update: My previous review of BNB reflected the horrible customer service just as the majority of reviews of this merchant. It took six months, but Sharika Chaney finally sent a refund for the products I ordered from her site. No email or explanation, but at least I got my money back. I would have preferred to have my order fulfilled, but... considering my experience, I will probably not order there again until the recent customers provide better reviews.

I received my full refund via PayPal probably one week after I filed my dispute. It's bittersweet. I loved the products butters n bars offered but after this fiasco I am forced to search elsewhere for quality products at reasonable prices. I am not malicious and do hope that her business gets straightened out and fully functional again. Best of luck to both ends of this situation.

No longer an understanding customer. Run me my money!

Sharika Chaney a. K. a the owner and "sole" operator of Butters N Bars needs to close her site/business/operation until she gets a solid crew of workers and definitely after she has submitted full refunds and/or delivered people's products! I placed my order early March 2017 and have yet to receive it. I believe she notified her email list of subscribers in April letting us know that they were closing down shop, she was a one woman business and was now hiring workers to help her get caught up, and after a short period, they would be back up and running... well... I emailed her, notifying her of my situation and she apologized and said that my order should be shipped in less than two weeks. (I suggested a refund if that would be easier but she went with the later) anyways, 2 weeks? Ok cool... that was April, we're now approaching August and still NOTHING! Wait! To add insult to injury, she still sends out marketing emails and booooyyyyy do I write her back. She never replies to my emails regarding my order but will email out her promotions... Oh and yesterday, she sends an email stating that her new crew (1 woman) jumped ship on her and she was all alone again. Boo-f-ing hoo! Then had the audacity to say we should help out her business by giving reviews (I assume positive) then we will receive a discount if we screenshot it and blah blah blah. I'm convinced the B*tch is Nuts. Refund my money Sharika and keep your stale $#*! butters and bars bc I can assure you that by time Christmas comes around, I won't want it anymore!

This company was perviously know as butter and bar. They now go by beauty Naturals Express. This was my second time ordering from this supplier and i was shocked to see that operations had gotten worst. I like to support women in business, especially single moms. I was empathetic with my first order due to the fact that she was moving and was having marital problems. I received my order damage and cracked out. The integrity of the natural butters were compromised and i lost money. I wanted 2 year to try again because i felt she was trying. She responded to my emails clueless to the issue. She checked her records and send it was sent. Except the address was incorrect. How? I don't know. She had my pervious address from my first and decided not to follow up with the billing address placed on the 2nd order. I corrected the address. She said the package was on it way. I recieved the tracking number and waited. Months passed and i checked with the shipping company who explained they never received the package to deliever. I was shocked. I then contact her again 5 months after the purchase, she refused to respond and then i asked for a refund. I still have received a response and i still have not received my refund. I made a complaint on the BBB site regarding this business to help me solve this issue but i can clearly see that i was robbed. I was disappointed and completely dissatisfied by this process. I will warn you. Do not purchase from this company. Now i hear she has an amazon site. I am sure there are alot of dissatisfied customers. It is not worth it. She needs to be shut down.

I was hesitant to order products from this company right from the start. Now I am adamant about never again placing another order. No one answers the phone, nor returns messages. Linda McAlister
