AWFUL CUST. SERVICE
September 14, 2020

I was charged for a whole year of the core box( 155!), w/o any reminders. Even though on my subscription page, I am set up to only have MONTHLY boxes sent. I tried to reach out to them for a whole week, and nobody got back to me. Finally after the weekend, I received a response w/ how to skip a box. Not even what I asked for. Seems and feels like I am being scammed out of $155. I understand that COVID has slowed a lot of things down, including customer service, but the response I got to my issue of being charged over $100 dollars, was how to skip a box in your next order. WTF?

Will take your money, not process your order in a timely manner, don't respond back to email in a timely manner. When asking to cancel an order they will tell you they can only refund you store credit for some reason.

Hopefully they go out of business soon

Wow, so disappointed
August 12, 2020

This business sucks. Absolutely no customer support when needed and there is no phone number to be able to call. You've definitely lost my business. That's for sure. If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered, got messed up in mail and they gave me credits, when trying to use said credits they just charged my card again. I don't want to pay more for your crappy products, I just wanted to get the money I had already spent's worth. Don't order from them. Trust me.

S**t company..
July 27, 2020

Ordered almost 2 weeks ago. Took my money, posted label was created and that's the end of that order... no movement at all. Haven't heard a peep or received anything. Tracking still shows it's sitting in their warehouse. Wrote several emails with no reply's. Got through to them on Instagram and they promised help with my order. Still nothing. I noticed they were still pushing their scam crap products on their page and commented the truth about my order to expose them and they delete any kind of comments that shine light on how crooked they are. Stay away from this money racket. Hope they get shutdown for fraud.

Out of Patience
June 10, 2020
Previous review

Me and my roommate ordered from hemper about a week apart. Her item came literally 5 weeks later. They took my money as soon i placed the order rather then when it shipped (SUS) I'm still waiting for my order 6 weeks later. The tracker they put in your email is fake, it doesn't even track your order as the times for each step are always the same. Another guy i know ordered the subscription box from them and has already recieved a box in the time ive been waiting, and his next has already shipped. I won't be ordering from them again. The glass is thin and cheap, even though they look cool. Go support your local headshop.

Get ready for a giant headache, and no customer service. Everything about this so called business is a joke. They take your money, provide no service, and will maybe ship out in a month or two. A bunch of idiots are running that place.

My stuff never came. It is awfully hard to cancel your subscription, and it's expensive. My bowl piece on my first box was cracked and it broke almost instantly. I ordered another one in April. It's now June and I still dont have it. Customer service just keeps on sending me a tracking link. The link says it is in transit, but that's bull. It's a U.S. based company and I'm ordering from the U.S. it shouldn't take that long. The company just got a 10 mil investor. All they care about is growth. Don't waste your money on a company that doesn't care about quality and service.

Redemption
June 18, 2020

Original review: "Wish I read the real reviews. Over 2 months(April 17) with no communication or anything helpful. If you try to reach out, you will get a copy/paste response. RIP $120"
Revised review: After I made a comment on their instagram asking for a refund, I was quickly DM'd asking for my order number. I gave it to them, they said they missed the mark on my order and said they personally made sure to expedite my order and offered to throw in a little extra. That same day the shipping label was printed. I got my stuff within a week.

Hey Chris! Thank you so much for your updated review. We are not afraid to admit when we are wrong and when we do, we always try our best to make it right. Our goal is to make sure you have an amazing shopping experience so your sessions can be even better! As a small business, the beginning of the pandemic left us scrambling to find solutions and we were left with a thin workforce. We want to assure you that since April we have been constantly growing and learning from our mistakes. We are so close to implementing better communication channels for our customers to reach us. In addition to emails and social media, we are in the process of implementing a dedicated phone line to help with the sudden rush of support tickets. Live chat support is now available on our main website, instead of just our support page, so our customers can receive live responses in real-time. Our customer's feedback is super important to us and we want you to know your criticism does not go unnoticed. Again, thank you so much for your support! Hemper on!

Worst service ever
June 14, 2020

They told me I'd get my product in a month due to understaffing from COVID. Other companies however didn't seem to have a problem getting orders fulfilled and shipped. I ordered on May 12 and the product was "picked" on the 27th. Then it sat there for a long time until I got concerned and tried chat bubble twice, their support email twice, and their number numerous times and their lines have always been down. Finally I tried Facebook messaging and Instagram and they got back. It took over a week and a half to get back to me. They claimed they were hiring more people to answer back customer service inquiries. But that doesn't help their deplorable pace on shipping. Not to my. Knoedge then, but my roommate ordered something very small and it took FOUR MONTHS for one small item to come to our door. Their logistics model seems like trash, their customer service is pathetic, and worse their prompts are misleading.

Once I got a hold of a human being from HEMPER, the person I was speaking with told me my order was supposed to be "processed" by the next day. I was told it was to be DELIVERED. Not PROCESSED. I had my mind made up about canceling my order to begin with, but if I hadn't until that point, that would have been the last straw.

Don't order from this joke of a company. They're scammers and liars with nice packaging.

Absolute garbage. It's literally been 2 months and my item had just been picked from the warehouse. I emailed to request a refund and cancel and they offered me store credit which is moot since they dont send anything out anyway. If I was a paraplegic and the closest head shop was 3 towns over I could drag my broken body there and back before hemper even picked my order. Trash trash trash. Horrible customer service, horrible site, horrible. Business model. Avoid this website at all cost. Support local head shops. I bought online cause I didnt know when my local shop would open again but I'm fairly positive even if they were closed until august I still would have a new pipe faster if I just waited for that. Terrible everything. Cannot emphasize this enough. Stay away!

They tell you that you can contact them via email if you have any questions about your order, but after a month of it not coming, not one of my kindly worded e-mails has been responded to even with something automated. The order hasn't even been shipped, and the only courtesy they've given me is to see that I spent over a hundred dollars for something they won't even care to fulfill or get in touch with me about for at least a month. They should honestly sell the business or close I've never seen that level of incompetence from an online store that WASNT A SCAM. If they don't wanna be compared to scams they should not clearly be scamming me and others who I see recently filed with the Better Business Bureau for the same reasons. It should never take a company that level of action from a consumer to get what they purchased. It should never be like this and you should never buy from hemper like me.
