On 2/18/09, after researching the company and found no negative complaints, I purchased a LadyComp equipment from Natural Methods using their monthly payment option -$130 down and $37.50 monthly (PayPal is the only payment method offered). On 2/25/09, Natural Methods approved my order and sent me an email stating that my item will be shipped to me approximately 3 to 4 weeks (was on back order). On 4/3/09, I still did not get my order so I decided to send Natural Methods an order status request using their online form (this is the recommended way for customer to request order status). On 4/16/ 09, I sent another email using their online form and and also called them only to be attended by a voice mail so I left a message message. On 4/23/09, I sent another online form and left another phone message. I also sent a direct email to sales@naturalmethods.com.
As of today's date, April 30, 2009, I received no respond from Natural Methods and no matter what time of the day, I continue to get a voicemail. I tired to file a dispute with PayPal for my $130 but PayPal said it has expired the 45days grace period so I have to contact Natural Methods directly. I was able to file a dispute for my March and April charge. However, not sure if Natural Methods will respond either. I probably going to just file fraud with my credit card company.
In total, I lost $205 and a lot of time with Natural Methods. This company offers the worst customer service. I heard some people did have to wait months for their order but a responsible company should at least RESPOND to a customer or just send out an email telling them about their order. After all, the dam equipment cost nearly $600!!!! TWO MONTHS of waiting with no responds and a lot of headaches trying to get my money back is not worth the trouble of this so called NATURAL BIRTH CONTROL - lady-comp, ladycomp. If anyone wants something much more reliable, try other options.

Update: Got refund and used a different reseller
AUTHOR: Consumer - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 07, 2009
I didn't file the original report but did file the comment titled "Exact same bad experience with Natural Methods".
I just wanted to update what happened to me: I ended up eventually getting through to Natural Methods via their phone line after repeated attempts. They told me they had been having customer service issues lately. They also said they were having some major troubles with their supplier. I cancelled my order and they refunded my money.
I then later re-ordered a LadyComp via RaXMedical and it was shipped right away. I made sure to phone first to confirm it was in stock.
It is a good product and RaXMedical seems to have their act together.

As the distributor presently servicing customers from within the U.S., exceptional and personalized service is our commitment to you.
Our hours of operation are convenient and all customers receive feedback by telephone or email within one business day, 7 days per week. All orders placed Mon-Fri are shipped within a 24 hour period, and orders received on Saturdays and Sundays are shipped immediately on Monday.

Exact same bad experience with Natural Methods
AUTHOR: Consumer - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 19, 2009
I've had the exact same experience as Kay in buying from Natural Methods.
I made my purchase about 6 weeks ago (except I paid the full $500+ upfront rather than in installments AND I paid for expedited shipping!). Natural Methods proceeded to charge my credit card and then sent me an email saying the product is back-ordered about 3-4 weeks.
After about 3 weeks I used their online form to ask what my order status was. They never got back to me. A couple weeks later I emailed them. They never responded. All I get when phoning (their many different numbers) is their voicemail, and they haven't returned my call. It's been over 6 weeks since I placed my order and I haven't been able to contact them once.
It's frustrating because I'll be moving soon and can't wait another month for my order to be shipped. I can't get ahold of them to change my address, nor do I want to wait indefinitely for something that I have no guarantee (or even a verbal/written assurance) I'll ever get. My only recourse might be to file a dispute or chargeback with my credit card company.
The thing is, I don't actually think Natural Methods is trying to scam or fraud anyone. They seem like they were at one time a reputable company. They just seem to either (A) have terrible customer service due to currently being phenomenally understaffed or incompetent or something, or (B) are going out of business and haven't tied up their loose ends yet.
It's totally unacceptable to charge a customer's credit card *months* in advance to shipping a product, especially when your website gives the promise that the product will arrive in a few days if one pays for expedited shipping. This would be still be forgivable, however, if I could actually speak to a customer representative to see what was going on. But I can't seem to do that.
In response to RaXMedical: I didn't order through your website so I can't say what your customer service is like. I ordered through http://ladycomp-babycomp.com. If you are in any way affiliated with that distributor, please let us know what's going on.
