When package arrive to germany every thing possible, maybe lost, maybe stolen.
They use very bad company for shipping overseas.deutschepost.de
You cant track your package. Most times they didnt know your package, delivered or not. 60 days my package still on IPZ-Ffm, Germany.
Track no CH*******DE, any way. They send me message, they will refund the amount.
I have made a mistake when I left Iherb to deal with this site. I placed an order with them 5 weeks ago, but haven't received yet! When I contacted them asking only to contact the courier they said contact us after 60 days! 60 days! Which means that if I will receive my staff, most of the items will be expired!
My one stop shop for vitamins and other personal needs. I trust their quality. Their website is easy to use.
My order qualified for free shipping, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was delivered (in U.S.) in 2days, after placing the order!
Additionally, Vitacost is 1 of only a few businesses that has a terrific and important -for me- product I've used for years; (no longer able to purchase it retail nor is it available on most sites), at a better price than any other site it's available to buy from. With free and fast shipping: Vitacost is the most dependable business to shop from. 5Stars&Great doing business with Vitacost!
It has been my pleasure to discover this wonderful source for so many things from supplements to organic foods. I love, love, love them and recommend them to anyone seeking an honest, trustworthy online business.
I often use Vitacost to buy supplements and vitamins that would cost me MUCH MUCH MORE if I purchased them at my local health food store. In particular, I buy Garden of Life products-the Men and Women's Over-50 Multivitamin/Mineral supplements AND Garden of Life's RawFit, which is a non-whey based protein powder with supplements. At the health food store and at other online companies, Raw Fit retails for around $52, not including tax (if applicable). I recently purchased TWO Raw Fit containers for a total of $56! Free shipping! When I visit family in Wisconsin, I've had Vitacost shipped there; when I'm at home (duh!) obviously they ship to my home. I always get my order quickly. They also carry a variety of foods, flours, and other health care products. I've never been disappointed. I highly recommend Vitacost. I've never had to call Customer Service, so I can't review them.
They have almost everything! Seems if they don't have something after you've searched for it, the next time you check, they do.
Customer service is awesome too. No questions asked if there's a problem. They just fix it immediately.
I tried to order 32 packages of Arrow Head whole grain puffed rice and wheat. Their site promised that If I give them my email for promotional purposes, they would give me a 10% discount. I did as they asked and they gave me a code that was invalid. I repeated the process and they again told me their code was invalid.
I sent them a complaint.
They told me they would not honor their code but I was to place the order anyway, pay the full price and then contact them and they would give me a refund in the amount of the promised discount.
I am not stupid. Vitacost is a scam.
I have used Vitacost for a few years and am very impressed. Their prices are very competitive. Once I ordered liquid B vitamins that had a cracked lid upon arrival. I called customer service and they immediately sent a replacement. The last order I placed (a month or so ago) arrived in two days! I have had it take longer in the past (especially if you order essential oils) but I like to think they are beginning to understand that shipping has to be fast or people will just pay a little more and go through Amazon.
I buy my vitamins, soaps, shampoos, etc. from them and have been so impressed with the customer service. I had packing issues from other sites where items were damaged in shipping due to poor packaging. This company is amazing. I get my items in 2-3 days and they package it so well. I cannot say enough about the service. If you have any issues they take care of it. I recommend them to everyone I can.
It's a rarity these days to find a biz that WANTS TO KNOW if you're happy w/their service, but Vitacost is an exception! Not only do they take great care in how they mail merchandise ordered online, but the one time I had issues with an item being less than perfect... they sent me out a replacement that very day! No questions asked and they didn't ask me to return the damaged good. They just wanted me to be happy and satisfied... which I was! I'm a loyal customer as I know they work to keep prices lower than average AND work hard to have happy customers! Thanks Vitacost! Sherri, Dallas TX
I switched to buy from this company recently and am very happy with their service, price, and speed of shipping out my order. There is one item that the formula has changed and they still carry the old picture of the item on their website which was misleading. I asked for a refund and it was refunded to me in 3 days. My email to them was answered right away. Will continue to buy them this company despite the shipping cost is a bit higher than the previous company I bought from but overall their product prices are lower and customer service is definitely better.
I don't have a problem with Vitacost itself, just that they have somehow managed to arrange the slowest possible shipping! My last order took 7 days to reach me - it was a heat sensitive product, so I emailed them and complained - they refunded my money. This order, Fed Ex turned into SmartPost. The order arrived in Dallas (90 miles away) at midnight last night, and I am not due to receive the order until TUESDAY! I could maybe put up with this if the shipping was free, but it was not - I had to pay for this ridiculousness. Their shipping didn't used to be this way, but PLAN on it taking 7 days to get to you from the time you order!
For the love of god don't order from that site, the worst service, the lamest solutions for the problems they making, ordered twice products and they failed to arrive, not only that they are telling me that it will take 60 days to "make sure the shipment is lost" so i need to wait 60 days for my refund.
In conclusion don't order from them AVOID ordering from this site!
The company now does not inform you of an item being out of stock until AFTER you place your order. Then they send an email informing you that they are drop shipping to arrive 9 days later. And then it doesn't show up at all.
I've been using them for over 3 years and have had no problems. When I made mistakes on my orders, they've taken care of it in a speedy manner with awesome customer service.
We often see great promises about companies standing behind their products and promises of superior customer service, but often these promises turn out to be hype. In the case of VitaCost, everything they promise is TRUE! I had occasion to have a bad reaction to a supplement I had purchased from VitaCost. I filled out an online request for refund yesterday afternoon citing the problem and I'll be darned if this morning in my email, I found VitaCost had already responded with a refund! I am totally impressed and this experience has solidified my commitment to use VitaCost for all our supplement needs! Thank you, VitaCost!
Vitacost's customer service improved a lot in recent years and customer service agents are friendly and eager to help. Besides, shipments are well packaged. The prices are great and you get lots of sales offered.
I've been a long-time customer, at least ten years. I've ordered regularly through them. I've always read reviews, good and bad, about products. Something happened recently. They've scrubbed their reviews, and have deleted a ton of negative reviews on products. I've tried posting a negative review of their pumpkin seeds sourced from China (Go Raw products), and they refuse to post it.
If you want to go through hell or a lot of stress, then use this company.
This is the first time I didn't get my order in my 10 years shopping experience.
The most ridiculous and hopeless shopping experiece ever and customer service is useless.
Vitacost = bunch of scammers. They are driving you crazy.
Answer: Yes they sell brand names and reputable products. They may not sell everything though depending on what you're looking for. I couldn't find the product I wanted anywhere other than through Vitacost so I was quite impressed.
Answer: Can't see it online, only on actual product if ordered
Answer: They sell the reputable Thorne brand recommended by wiser MD's and not available in vitamin shops, retail pharmacies or food stores
Answer: There is a money-back guarantee on all of the products they sell. Often, you will be given a refund without even having to return a product. They really are the best in the business when it comes to customer satisfaction.
