I love their tea brands
Excellent experience with Vitacost
Fraud
If I could give them no stars I would - they double billed me on my debit card and refused to reverse the charge or cancel my order as requested so i'm out $120. they also tried to lie saying I purchased through Paypal, which is impossible as I don't have an account with them.
Never again
Order 3 bottles of parsley cleaner. Arrived with 2 empty bottles and one with twist top so loose it was leaking all over, Vitacost only refunded a small portion of original cost. No refund for shipping and only part of tax. Receipt says “ carefully hand packed by Jacqueline P. I think not. I will advise you not to use Vitacost.
What happened to my order?
I used to be happy with VitaCost, but not now. I have put in an order for $80.53 on 28 May and the charge has been posted to my credit card on 28 May. However my order does not exist on their site anywhere under my name, so have not idea whether I have been scammed or not. (luckily, I printed it when I put it through before they disappeared it, so have a record).
I have tried to call their 800 numbers as well as their 336 number several times , but it gets me nowhere. The questions keep asking you to press "1" or "2" but nothing happens when you do it, and it keeps looping around with the same questions endlessly.
I want an answer or I will advise the credit card of the scam.
The worst company on earth!!!
This company is the worst company on earth. They have really bad customer service people who don't speak English. They get the email address wrong even though it is clearly on file in their database and I spelled it out multiple times. They refused to send me a confirmation of my order after three telephone requests. That did not happen. So I called back to cancel the order. I had to make 6 calls and I got through to three of whom hung up on me!
They refused to cancel my order after telling me it was actually cancelled and I was told I would get a refund on my credit card. But never got an email confirmation of that. I called back again several times and now they refuse to cancel the order.
That is illegal. Vitacost is a fraudulent company and I will file a complaint with the better business bureau! I will never do business with these losers ever again. I suggest that nobody ever order anything from them again. They used to be good when they had local customer service, but now it is nothing but people who don't understand the english language.
Quick and discounted!
They’re fine
Vitacost tied up my money!
Ordered vitamins which they cancelled the order the very next day, but did not remove my "pending sale" on my charge card. It eventually dropped off after 7 days.
VERY RUDE to tie up my money for 7 days!!!!
Their system is screwed
Buyer Beware! Terrible customer service horrible shipping agent
I tried to change the arrival date of my package. I spent an hour trying to get through to the Shipper who could not help me. I spent over an hour between two different Vitacost chat representatives who both assured me the package would be rerouted back to them and my money refunded.
This never happened and the shipper left the package in the parking lot of a different building. Vitacost customer service never got back to me even after leaving multiple emails and speaking with multiple customer service representatives. What a waste of hours of my time.
Worst customer service ever. Shop at your own risk!
Shock to see some bad review on vitacost!!!
Vitacost is terrible. Customer service is a joke to them. Shop at your own risk!
It's true. All info on my previous orders mysteriously disappeared. I don't even want to go into the hell I went thru just because I made two orders to send to other people. It totally flummoxed their system that they could not even figure out themselves--until I pushed the cs agent to dig deeper. She had to go into accounting to even FIND one order.
Not one problem in over two years
I don't work for Vitacost, but they deserve a good review, and I always give them one.
I've been ordering from Vitacost for two years and never had one problem with the shipping, customer service,and they always send me the products I order: no bait and switch. Whatever I order is what I get. Some probiotics I ordered came wrapped in an insulated package so that the product would maintain its potency.
I once ordered a product from another company that I hated: I went online to their customer service and they actually refunded me even though it was my choice to order. Another time, I needed to add a product to an order a couple of hours after I placed it: customer service came through again.
Their prices are reasonable and, if you become a regular customer, you'll get additional discounts and they always have a lot of deals on prodcuts. You get free shipping with a $49 order. I've always opted for standard shipping and always received my order within two-three days.
I definitely recommend Vitacost.
I agree completely with Stella Jonsson's review of Vitacost.. Their service has been efficient, products are high quality and fairly priced. Standard shipping arrived in 3 days and is free! Keep up the good work Vitacost. -- you'll have a customer for life.
Great products, fair prices, good service!
Vitacost is terrible. Customer service is a joke to them. Shop at your own risk!
Agree. They are useless. They have no access to records. My order disappeared (even though I got confirmation from Paypal that I bought something.) And they ignore directions to ship elsewhere than one's own address. On the phone vitacost people know nothing, can't help at all.
I sign up for a $1.97 and then they took $97.00 Australian for a monthly menbership. So becareful to what you sign up for.
