I spoke to customer service and was told that I am no longer entitled to free shipping and discount items on my MORE.COM charter list.

That sucks. Where will I get my Mach 3 blades and Robitussin from now on? They should at least let us get one last order in, or give us some sweet discount/GC or something.

what a bunch of BASS TURDS, companies should be held liable for stuff when they promise you something for life, then just rename their company and get out of the deal........
I spent alot of money there, but won't anymore..

I am gonna miss the mach3 blades for a buck as well

I agree that this sucks but did anyone actually believe that the offer would last forever?

I sent them a hate email. I thought it was the rudest thing in the world to do. "Sorry, as of today we deleted all your past lists and information. Hope you wrote it down or something." At least they could've been bought up and had a going away party or something. Not, type in more.com this morning and find out it's gone. Man, I hate them. Nice email about rewarding their loyal customers. Hard to be loyal when they just sell and run.

I just tried to go to more.com and ended up at healthcentralrx or something, but it did offer me a $10/30 coupon :frown:

For all those wondering, the company wasn't just renamed. It was bought out by HealthCentral (which I believe Drug Emporium purchased a few months earlier). Now the HealthCentral empire includes more.com, drugemporium.com, vitamins.com, and their own healthcentralrx.com.
It's a competitive area. Company failures, consolidations, and acquisitions were bound to happen.

And I doubt the acquiring company will care about prior charter benefits. I don't think they're planning to go out of business like more.com did with their marketing strategy.

The evil MyCoupons ladies were the root cause of more.com's demise, I'm just sure of it ;) If only they'd given back those $.10 clocks.

Makes me wonder if I should hurry up and use my free Drugstore.com GCs I received from my Amazon.com orders?

Are they going under also? I think they are backed by the RiteAid B&M chain.

Attn. valued charter member, thanks for being such a loyal customer.
In return, we would like to take away everything we promised you and refer you to a new, higher priced online drugstore. Here, you can still find overpriced toothbrushes and pad the pockets of the venture capitalists who funded the empty promises of more.com.

Please use this $10 off coupon to make your first purchase at www.overpricedvitamins.com and as an extra value, we will collect all your personal info and shopping habits and sell it to whoever we want.

Once again, we thank you for your patronage.
