  • Dermstore

8/9/16

Website is very buggy during checkout mainly, doesn't allow you to enter line 2 of your address. Because of this I emailed them to ensure my address would show correctly on the parcel, however what I received back was an email saying my order had been successfully cancelled, which I never requested?

I then placed a new order (as they had cancelled my first one) which I never received a confirmation email for, then today (a few days later) I get an email saying Dermstore has cancelled my order as they no longer ship to freight forwarding services - why should this be their concern?!

UPDATE 15/08/2016 - it has now been 9 & 10 days respectively since I placed the orders and Dermstore STILL have not cancelled the payment authorisations. Very frustrating as since they won't let me buy their products, I would like to purchase them elsewhere but can't because the money for both cancelled orders is still frozen in my account! I phoned PayPal to ask about this and PayPal told me that Dermstore needs to cancel the authorisation on their end. When I requested this Dermstore replied back saying that the authorisation should release by itself within 5-7 days... it has already been 9 days now and I'm just supposed to keep waiting for the authorisation to expire on its own because they won't make the effort to go in and cancel it? I am not happy at all and based on the service I received I can not recommend them.

Also I would just like to note that I went back to double check the "Shipping restrictions" section on the site and there is zero mention of not posting to freight forwarding addresses - maybe this should be updated to prevent wasting people's time like this

Hello,

We apologize if your recent experience with Dermstore was less than satisfactory.

Due to the constant rise in ecommerce fraudulent orders we have made it one of our top priorities to look after our customers and vendors. One of the measures we have instituted is to avoid shipping to freight forwarding services, as it is one of the primary indicators of fraud and unauthorized retailing. We would be more than glad to assist you in releasing your order, if you could provide us with a different shipping address.

We can be reached via phone at 1.800.213.3376 or via email at service@dermstore.com. Our department is open Monday through Friday 5am - 7pm and Saturday 6am - 4pm PST.

Dermstore sells items they don't actually have in stock and take payment. Then when you inquire...

This store is a fraud - expired products, promise of refund, customer service run-around. Do not...
