“Piping Rock Above standard products, customer service and shipping.”

I have been a frequent customer of Piping Rock for the past 2 years. Great prices and specials keep me happy. Orders have always arrived timely and the one time a liquid item was broke they shipped a replacement immediately. I am a happy customer.

They treat you like you're not even there. Why go into the store if you have a website anyway? Ridiculous

I bought Piping Rock branded Turmeric and Quercetin. In both cases the weight of each capsule was printed in a large bold font. In a tiny font it says "per serving" which is two capsules. Furthermore each capsule includes the weight of the gelatin, rice and magnesium strearate. Regarding the turmeric, the amount of turmeric was misrepresented even including the foregoing. I will never buy anything from Piping Rock again

Tip for consumers:
More than 50 % of supplements don't contain what is stated on the label. Given the fraud and deceptive practices demonstrated by Piping Rock, I have grave doubts about the quality and amount of the active ingredients.

This is a dishonest company. When you purchase something and try to write a review, they don't publish it. There are only positive or fake reviews. Additionally, the shipping is terrible. I bought a product, and instead of the expected delivery time frame (6-21 days), they informed me that my package would be delivered in three months.

Titanium dioxide is an FDA approved food coloring agent commonly added to pills to make them white. Although only very small amounts are used in supplements (less than 1% of the formulation) animal studies have raised concerns that it could be carcinogenic and adversely affect the immune system and digestive tract.May 25,2019

Piping Rock has recently started to guarantee the quality of its products by a one year return policy. However I have found it imperative to buy products I have already bought from them and tested as OK. I recently bought a eye serum for the first time which did not seem to agree with me.It cost around $6 in an order that was around $75. I emailed them expecting a customer friendly response. Instead they asked me for details on the product that I did not know how to find - one was the date of expiry. There were a series of numbers on the item that I sent them. Waiting for them to respond. As a customer I decided NEVER to try their products if I had not bought them before.

Tip for consumers:
I have been a customer of this store for awhile

Products used:
I used the quercertin and milk thistle. It was the eye firming serum that I wanted to return as it did not agree with me.

I will NEVER shop with Piping Rock again.
I ordered enough products to make it a free delivery.
Piping Rock delivered 1 item, cancelled the rest of the order, and charged us for the delivery cost of the 1 item we got.
Pretty rude, I think, considering they instigated the cancellation.

Products used:

Took a month and several emails chasing my products before being told of an apparent error and the products were no coming. They refunded my order but not The postage costs so expected me to be out of pocket for products I had never even received and possibly were never even sent. They want the profits but no risk or accountability. Avoid these scammers. Check the genuine reviews on other Impartial sites not their own made up ones. Clearly a site to avoid. Wish I had checked these first.

I purchased tons supplements from Piping Rock, and I did not realized they sent me old stocks that are near their expiration dates. I was travelling a lot during that time and checking the expiration dates of their products was my last concern. After 4 months of my travel, I checked Piping Rock's products nearing their expiration dates, I called them and Piping Rock did not rectify their mistakes. A strong WARNING to all of you shopping in this company (Piping Rock), "BEWARE" before you will be the next victim. I am very disappointed and very dissatisfied with Piping Rock. "DO NOT BUY" Piping Rock Products or you will be the next victim!

Their courier, DHL, has a tracking system that isn't really a tracking system at all, where the basic level of delivery service is concerned (it might be better if you pay more). And the estimated delivery time of up to 5-6 weeks (I 've been waiting 3 weeks now) to cross the Pacific Ocean (New York-Auckland) is utterly preposterous in this day and age! The products are cheap, but there seem to be a lot of complaints about quality and delivery. So, I'd say don't go there.

Tip for consumers:
The prices are cheap, but you have to weigh that up against delivery times and the negative reviews.

Order wasn't delivered since October 22 they are now not responding to all mails sent to them. Really scary.

Tip for consumers:
Think twice you are about to be scammed for real. You order a product with immediate need and for over threeonths response never this could be right.

... but Piping Rock comes really close. My order never arrived. Whoever is to blame, I don't really care. Point is, the products never arrived and Piping Rock refuses to refund. I communicated with them in a very civilized manner, but they just would not refund. On top of that, they now try to blame this on me and are telling lies to PayPal. How can I prove that I never received the order? My advise is not to order here. If the products do arrive, you are lucky. In some cases you do get your order, in many cases you don't.

Tip for consumers:
Do not take the risk. Piping Rock has proven to be unreliable. Read the reviews first.

I ordered a skin care product called 'Hyaluronic Acid Serum' which is supposed to be a moisturizer. It's anything But That! I researched the ingredients and found that one of them destroys collagen and another can is toxic. I tried to post my negative review but the Piping Rock site wouldn't let me post it. That explains why they have no negative reviews on their site. I'll NEVER buy anything from them again. They Control what you can see for reviews.

I have been trying to get a response from customer service for days! I have used this company a lot and expected better! One agent rude! They don't seem to want to honour a discount code! I was even told there was no discount code as I was looking at it and I sent screenshots of it! So they may lose a good customer over this!

Just that the poor customer service is possibly their downfall

I bought two bottles of piping rock Resveratrol 100mg capsules. They contained a dark chocolate powder. It should be white. This has either been adulterated or burnt. Their complaint service is window dressing only. They receive complaints but do not answer or respond to them.

I ordered a product that was advertised as 2 for one recieved it only got one, contacted piping rock apparently i did not order it correctly? They offered me a $5.00 coupon this is the worst customer service i have ever gotten i will never order from them again and urge others to think twice before doing so, it would have been nothing for them to just give me the extra 2 items, thats real customer service!

WARNING... I ordered several bottles of Boswellia supplements from them. The package was just left at my front door ( no doorbell nor knock) in 88 Degree direct sunlight, and it was out there for 4 hours until my wife came home from work and found it out there. The box itself was Very Hot and all the bottles inside were also very hot. When I called them they refused any type of resolution. And their supervisor stated that The Heat would not do any damage nor reduce the potency... the most ABSURD comment I ever heard. Obviously they could care less.

Tip for consumers:
STAY AWAY from this business go "Anywhere" else (and there's many of these businesses)

Twice in a row they failed to deliver my vitamins, and their customer service just told me to "wait a few more days till they get the package back before the6 would offer me a refund, and then I could reorder". This customer service is atrocious, at this point my kid has gone weeks without vitamins, and all they can say is "try again. Better luck next time". My kids health is not a carnival game. A good service would make it right asap with a proper next day delivery service. Also, their website claims to be Canadian but everything ships from US.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this site. Go somewhere reliable with good service

I have been buying from Piping Rock for a few years, and they used to be pretty good, both in terms of price and performance (ie their delivery time was quite good).
Last couple of times they have disappointed to the hilt. Their delivery time is spiraling out of control. They then expect me, the customer, to contact the local delivery people to chase up where it is.
I am not talking about a few days - this is like a month and more.
I will be looking elsewhere to buy for my next lot of nutrients and suggest anyone reading this asks for their delivery times before committing to a purchase.

Tip for consumers:
check delivery times especially if international.
