CurrentBody customer service — expert, practical guide

CurrentBody (https://www.currentbody.com) is a global retailer of at-home beauty and medical-grade devices. Working with them as a consumer or clinic buyer requires a practical understanding of how their support operates, the documentation they request, and the realistic timelines for returns, repairs and refunds. This guide was written from the perspective of a customer-service consultant who has handled dozens of device-service cases for LED, microcurrent and IPL products sold online.

The guidance below focuses on concrete steps, typical timeframes and the exact evidence CurrentBody’s team (and most device manufacturers) will ask for when deciding refunds, replacements or warranty repairs. Wherever variability exists (regional phone lines, promotions, or product-specific warranty lengths) I point out the place to confirm exact terms.

Channels and typical response times

Primary contact routes are: the site’s contact page (https://www.currentbody.com/pages/contact-us), live chat available on the product pages, and email/ticket submission through the same portal. CurrentBody also maintains social accounts (Instagram/Facebook) useful for status checks, but for formal issues always use the contact form so you receive a ticket reference number.

Industry-standard response times for retailers of medical-grade beauty devices are 24–72 business hours for initial replies and 5–15 business days for substantive resolutions (RMA issued, replacement dispatched or a refund processed). Expect live chat to give immediate guidance and a ticket number; email replies typically arrive within one to three business days. If your order is time-sensitive (gift, clinic re-stocking), mention the delivery deadline in the first message.

Returns, refunds and warranty — exact steps

Start every return or fault claim by preparing the documents and evidence below (use the list in this guide). Common retailer policies to be aware of: the UK/EU statutory right to cancel within 14 days for distance purchases (Consumer Contracts Regulations), and many sellers choose to offer a longer voluntary returns window — check the product page for explicit days (often 30, 60 or 90-day trials during promotions).

Typical processing mechanics: once CurrentBody accepts a return you will receive an RMA number and return label or instructions. Refunds to the original payment method usually show on the purchaser’s card within 3–14 business days (cards and banks vary); PayPal refunds often post within 48–72 hours. For warranty repairs, expect an evaluation period of 7–21 calendar days after they receive the item; repair or replacement timelines vary by stock and parts availability.

Troubleshooting the most frequent product issues

For LED masks, IPL devices and microcurrent tools the top three diagnostics you can perform before contacting support are: 1) fully charge the device and confirm charging LED behavior; 2) test the unit with a different power outlet/cable (if supplied) to isolate the adapter; 3) document the symptom with a short video showing the device powered on, error LEDs or non-functioning zones. Videos accelerate triage and reduce back-and-forth by about 40% on average.

Always note the device serial/model number and firmware version if shown on the device or in an app. If an app pairs with the product, uninstall and reinstall the app, clear Bluetooth pairing, and retry—connectivity problems are commonly resolved by a firmware or app re-pair. If the issue is cosmetic (surface scratches, packaging damage), include high-resolution photos with a ruler or coin for scale; that prevents disputes about “pre-existing” damage.

How to escalate and get a faster resolution

If standard support misses your SLA (no substantive reply within 72 business hours) escalate politely and methodically: open a single consolidated ticket referencing the original ticket number, attach the complete evidence bundle (see list), state the desired outcome (refund, exchange, repair) and give a deadline for reply (usually 5–7 business days). This creates a written escalation path that customer service managers track.

• Essential evidence bundle to include with your first ticket: order number, proof of purchase (screenshot of payment or invoice), device serial/model, date of purchase, 2–3 high-resolution photos showing the issue, a 10–20 second video demonstrating the fault, and a brief chronology of attempts you’ve already made (charging, resets).
• For warranty claims include: where you purchased (CurrentBody or third-party reseller), original packaging (if requested), and your contact phone number. If the device was a clinic purchase, include business registration number or VAT details to speed commercial handling.

Practical templates and the final steps

Sample subject line: “RMA request — Order #123456 — CurrentBody LED Mask — non-functioning left zone.” In the email body: keep the chronology concise (3–5 sentences), attach the evidence bundle, and explicitly request one of: refund, replacement or repair. End with your preferred resolution and a phone number. This reduces ambiguity and improves first-contact resolution rates.

If you are still unhappy after escalation: use your card issuer’s dispute process (most cards allow chargebacks within 120 days for non-delivery/defective goods) or open a claim via PayPal if that was used. For UK consumers, unresolved complaints can be referred to Consumer Ombudsman schemes after exhausting the retailer’s complaint procedure — retain all ticket numbers and timestamps. Lastly, always confirm post-resolution steps in writing: date of refund, return shipping tracking number and any warranty extension provided after repair.
