False advertisement for luxury brand

I have been using Tulu without a hitch since it was installed in my building years ago. This year however proved challenging when the Theragun pro broke. When I complained, they advised me that they would notify me when the issue was resolved which took over 2 months. When I rented the new item they replaced the theragun pro with, I noticed it was a lot smaller and less effective. The retail value of the theragun they replaced it with it $159 while the previous gun was worth $659. Initially I believed someone in the building stole the expensive one and replaced it with a knock off because Tulu was still advertising the more expensive theragun. After reaching out to customer service they advised that the investigation was complete. When I went back into the Tulu app I noticed that they were now advertising the cheaper theragun however the price to rent it did not change. I would assume if you downgrade a luxury item the rental price should also be adjusted.

After this experience, I don't have faith in Tulu as a luxury brand. It feels unprofessional and unethical that they would avoid replacing an item with the exact same item and then gaslight me into accepting a subpar product at the same price. I will be in contact with my management team.

You will own nothing and be happy

They offer a free trial and then charge you when you terminate it. Read the fine print before signing up. I'm not even going to attempt to put in my credit card info. Complete and utter scam.

Hi there,
Thanks for the note — we want to clear something up, because what you've described isn't how TULU works.
We do not charge users for canceling a free trial. The trial converts to a paid subscription automatically only if it isn't canceled in the app before it ends, which is standard for free-trial offers and is disclosed at sign-up. If you cancel inside the app, the trial stops immediately and zero charges are applied to your payment method.
Since you mentioned you didn't add a card, there's also nothing on file we could charge — so we'd love to understand what gave you that impression. If you're open to it, drop us a line at support@tulu.io and we'll happily walk you through the cancellation flow or look into anything specific on your end.

They are charges Just to charge

They are charges Just to charge ! I spent one-hour in the chat trying to understand and the only answer was,"there's a charge", but they doesn't know how to explain the "system rules" and where we can check before the service.

Hi Mariana,
Thanks for taking the time to share this — we want to address it directly because it doesn't reflect how TULU operates.
Our team always knows what a charge is for. Every transaction in TULU is tied to a specific service, item, or subscription, and the price is shown in the app before you confirm the rental or purchase. There's no scenario where a charge appears without a corresponding record on our side.
We also looked into your case, and we don't have an account registered under the name Mariana Matheus. That makes it hard for us to investigate what happened in the chat you mentioned. If you'd like us to take a proper look, please email support@tulu.io with the email address or phone number tied to the account, and we'll pull the full history and walk you through every charge.
We'd genuinely like to resolve this for you.

Wanted a $1 bag chips from their machine. They force you to download their app, which I am ok with; but then you're forced to subscribe to their service, which I don't get. I'm already paying for whatever I'm buying (or renting) from their machine. Why do I also have to pay extra? To make matters worse, they default to an annual subscription for $60/year. Somehow for $1 bag of chips, I had to pay $61! I don't even live in the building and will never use the machine again; but that didn't seem to matter to their customer service team (they asked me for 'proof' that I didn't live there - crazy). Finally got $50 refunded after way too much back and forth, and with a note extolling me not to ask for this again. Say what?!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the detailed write-up — and we're sorry the experience landed this far from where it should have.
A bit of context that may help: TULU isn't a public vending machine. It's a resident amenity — the machines are placed inside buildings as a service for the people who live there, which is why the model is built around a membership rather than a pay-per-item transaction. For residents, that membership unlocks the full set of TULU services in their building (rentals, household goods, etc.) and the math works out. For a visitor grabbing a single item, it's genuinely the wrong fit, and we understand how that came as a surprise — especially with the annual plan defaulting on you.
We'd also like to close out the remaining balance you're still out of pocket on. Please email support@tulu.io and reference this review — we'll process the rest of the refund, no further proof required.

Garbage.

Garbage.

The app shows available TULU credit in the wallet and clearly displays it above the payment method, strongly implying that it will be used for the purchase. Despite this, the credit was ignored and the amount was charged directly to my bank account. Only after the transaction did the credit magically become zero.

Whether the credit was technically expired is beside the point: **showing expired credit as available is misleading and unacceptable**. This is a clear lack of transparency and results in a very poor user experience.

Customer support failed to properly read or address the issue and provided generic, dismissive responses.

I will never use this service again and strongly advise others to stay away.

Hi Saverio,
Thank you for taking the time to lay this out so clearly — we hear you.
You're right on the core point: if the wallet displays credit prominently above the payment method, a user should reasonably expect it to be applied at checkout. Whether the credit was technically expired or not, the experience you described — credit visible right up until the moment of purchase, then quietly zeroing out after the charge — isn't the level of transparency we want, and that's a fair piece of product feedback we'll be taking seriously.
We're also sorry the support response felt dismissive. A specific, well-articulated issue like yours deserved a specific reply, and we'll be reviewing how that conversation was handled.
We'd like a second chance to make this right. If you email support@tulu.io and reference this review, we'll take another look at the charge and the credit personally — with full context this time.

Witless customer service practices

In late 2024, my apartment building replaced their free printer/scanner with a Tulu printer which requires residents to both buy an annual or monthly subscription and pay for every page printed.

FedEx's printers weren't working, so I bought a Tulu membership to use their printer, despite being annoyed that the printer was no longer free.

The Tulu printer would not turn on. I contacted support who responded promptly and kindly. They had me troubleshoot the printer on my own (e.g. did you try turning it on and off?). After a bit, I had enough and asked for a refund since I needed a reliable printer and obviously this wasn't it. They refunded me for the print job, but would not refund the subscription.

I had just bought the subscription a few minutes earlier for the sole purpose of using the printer that day. The fact that the support rep and even their manager would not refund me for a subscription that I couldn't use due to their own error is a poor business practice. I contested the fee through my credit card company and received the money back through their process.

From this experience, I've acquired a deep distain for Tulu. I do not like that Tulu requires you to pay for a subscription and each print job to use their completely average, unreliable printer. I do not like that their support team cannot refund someone who was not able to use their service as advertised. I would be happy to see Tulu removed from my building.

Hi Michele,
Thanks for sharing your experience. We're sorry the printer didn't work when you needed it most - that's really frustrating.
When you reached out, we refunded your printing charges right away and escalated the technical issue. We also added a $10 credit to your TULU wallet as a gesture of goodwill.
Your subscription was purchased just before the issue occurred. As outlined during sign-up, TULU subscriptions are non-refundable once activated - this helps us keep our membership model sustainable for everyone.
We know this doesn't change your experience, but we're constantly working to improve our service reliability. Your feedback helps us do better.
Want to give us another try? We'd love to offer you a 3-month free membership and reinstate your $10 credit. Just reach out at support@tulu.io or through in-app chat.
Thanks for using TULU!
