We ordered 3 items of food supplements for shipment to the Netherlands. Only one arrived. The other two appeared to have been cancelled because they were suddenly out of stock. After talking to customer support we were told to re-order the items. There was no discount in (the substantial) shipping costs. Note that we choose a high speed shipping service which included import/customs and VAT charges for the 3 items ordered. So we re-ordered two more items, and guess what: Just one got shipped, the other one was cancelled again without any prior notice or choice. This company changes your order without any prior consultation, charges you costs for items which were not shipped. Avoid them.

Don't remember the last time I had a Poor customer service from a supervisor like I experienced today with Lucky Vitamin. They are very friendly to take order. BUT good luck calling them for refund/exchange or anything else... very mean and unpleasant customer service. Spend your money somewhere else who stand by you and help you with your needs in professional and humanely manners... not business!

I had very few problems with this company until I tried to delay an order through their website. I was sent on a wild goose chase seeking tabs that do not exist and am not impressed. I started off wanting to simply delay an order, now I am seriously considering terminating my relationship with this company.

Do not order from this company. They take very long to ship and don't let you know that some of your items are on backorder till a week later, and when you try to cancel the remainder of the order they say they can't because it's shipping. They claim order ship same day but it all a lie.

Ordered an item as a Christmas gift online Dec. 18. Item was marked "In Stock" and was to ship in 24-48 hours. Received a confirmation email, "Your Order Is Being Processed" with order number & tracking info, but tracking link was disabled. Product never arrived. I phoned Customer Service in early Jan. and was told order had been canceled because the manufacturer no longer provides the item. I checked the reputation of this company online and learned my complaint is not unique. Other dissatisfied customers warned that if the item is "Out of stock", don't order. Obviously, LuckyVitamin.com is aware of this complaint so they now label items "In Stock" even though items are not. My advice: Shop elsewhere!

Let me start off by saying that I have had to endured THE WORST customer experience EVER! After reading these reviews this morning, confirmed that it wasn't only me experiencing Lucky Vitamins company tactics/ethics and BS business practices. I have made 3 purchases with LV, only because of their prices. Thus far I have spent $290.71.
WARNING: If the product is backordered, DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER! My credit card was hit twice because of this. Once for the full order amount and again for the adjustment less the backordered items. This was after I had to call customer service to cancel the backorder items. I was told that they had no idea when they would be getting in more inventory, and if I hadn't made that call they would just bank my money until the product did come in... So basically they had a hold pending on my bank account to over $200.00. Rather than crediting the customer's initial order and releasing the funds, they actually charge you again for the products that were shipped. It took over 10 days to lift the pending funds on my checking account, and luckily for me I had the funds in there to wait, but some customer may not.
They advertise FAST, FREE SHIPPING for over $49.00. WHAT A JOKE. I placed an order on 12/07/2015 and today is 12/15/15 and I still don't have my order! They ship with FedEx via the USPS. So basically your order is being mailed to you by the post office. I spend the winters in FL, and our postal mail is sent to the central post office located in Dade Co. (Miami), but I live in Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale). And we all know, NOTHING happens fast here in FL... lol. I have sent numerous hours researching my nutritional needs, pricing and suppliers, but the time that I have spent with Lucky Vitamins Customer Service dept, has me back online looking for local suppliers, where I can actually drive to and get my supplements in hand when I need them. This is a case where being frugal DOESN'T PAY OFF! BUYER BEWARE!!! Save your time, sanity and money.

I was looking for Auroshikha incense as Wegmans stopped carrying it. Looked online and Lucky Vitamin had the best price. I ordered some and then decided to check this business out as I had never heard of them. Yikes! When I got to this site and saw all the 1 star reviews I was concerned... So called them at the number on my confirmation email. She assured me that these bad reviews were isolated incidents. Indeed for me that was the case. I placed the order late on 11/19, and received the package today... about 5 days. The packaging was way more than needed for the product, and I had an excellent experience with this company. With ordering, tracking, packaging, and receiving exactly what I ordered.

I placed an order with Lucky Vitamin then waited. Contacted them via email to ask where I can find tracking since the link they provided did not work. I then received 3 emails. 1 stated my order had been cancelled, the next explained there had been a glitch and they had to cancel my order but I could call them to reorder. The 3rd email was from Gianni who attempted to blame me and or my bank for the problem and that I needed to contact my bank. I emailed him back and informed him that I wanted my funds released since they were still "pending" as well as there was no problem with my bank. I sent another email and was given a reply by Chris that any money would be returned in 1-3 days. If it is not I will contact my attorney and the attorney general's office.

I placed an order for some vitamins for my son and in the next couple of minutes found a better deal on Nature Remedies, which offered an extra bottle of 180 vitamins with the purchase of 2 bottles, which was exactly what I ordered. I called Lucky Vitamin's Customer Service to ask them to cancel the order and they REFUSED even though I had placed it within minutes from my phone call. They asked me to send the vitamins back once I received them and I find this SO UNACCEPTABLE as I KNOW it's going to take PAIN to get my credit back and who knows what's going to happen. BAD COMPANY!

Placed a order. Wanted to cancel since it was BACK ORDER. When I called them they said the product just came in and I said to cancel the order because I did not want to wait another 6 to 7 business days for the item. She responded to me that the order was being picked and it could not be canceled and that they would still send the product and she did say that there would be a returnable label. Now I cannot understand why I had to wait any longer since I placed the order on October 19 2015. Very dissatisfied because they are holding my money for about a month.

Without realizing it, this company's website leads you to believe you're ordering from the UK - but you're not. This means that, although you're paying in sterling, when you get to the checkout you will be paying a lot for shipping (£7.26 on an order worth only £16.70). Worst of all, when the order arrives in this country you are liable for customs charges (£12.81 on this same order!). If you try and contact the company, their answer is basically "Hard luck, not our problem" and that's it. As you've (unwittingly) ordered from a company outside the UK, you don't have any real comeback under UK law. I've refused the order so I can't comment on the quality of the items but, given the tricky way the website leads you into believing you're ordering within the UK and the appalling customer service, I wouldn't be at all sure that the quality is trustworthy. Definitely best avoided.

I made a purchase online. I then got an email saying that my order was on hold. When I called, they said that I needed to get an authorization code from my bank because it was flagged for fraud.... no problem. I called my bank and they said that the transaction was authorized just fine and there was no need for a code, nor did they have anything to give me. I then got my bank and Lucky SCAM on the phone together and they then changed their tune, now telling me that I need to call "VISA" and not my bank (it's a debit card). They gave me the phone number. I called and VISA told me and they referred me back to my bank because my bank manages my Visa.
Called LuckyVitamin back and they actually had an attitude with me. I was perfectly nice with them. I was even trying to make light of it. The supervisor (Sierra) had a serious attitude problem. It's painfully obvious that she deals with crap like this all day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!! I would rather have overpaid for my stuff from somewhere else than have to go through today's events again.

I have ordered from Lucky Vitamin for the past 3 years for my business..A few months back, I signed up for their rewards program. I received a coupon code, from them, which I attempted to cut and paste into the coupon window they provide for such things, while placing an order. I was informed the code was invalid. Returned to my email and copied again, to ensure there was no error. The code still would not work. I emailed Lucky Vitamin and was told I need to be signed into my account in order to use the code.
I was signed in to my account, and the code still doesn't work. Lucky Vitamin refused to apply the code manually on their end, even though I was entitled to the discount and the code THEY sent, was in fact invalid, for whatever reason. I replied to the email and asked why the code wouldn't work, when I had followed Lucky Vitamin procedure. This email has been ignored. I wonder if their rewards program - is just a SCAM? I have spent thousands of dollars with this company and they are being shady over a $5 coupon THEY sent ME. I'll be switching back to Vitacost. Lucky Vitamin customer service is a joke.

If I could give them negative stars, I would. On May 23, 2015, I placed an order for $150.59 and paid for it via my PayPal account. Five minutes later, I called their customer service and cancelled the order and placed a new order for $211.72 because I had forgotten to order something that I needed. It is now 10 days later and I still have not gotten a refund on my money in PayPal for the $150.59, and I called and talked to their customer service department at least 3-4 times and they kept blaming it on PayPal, saying PayPal has to issue the credit. But when I talked to PayPal, they say that is not true. I asked for a supervisor at LuckyVitamin and they were not helpful at all and promised the money would be back in my PayPal account by NO LATER THAN Friday, May 29, 2015. But here it is, May 30, 2015, and no money.
So, unfortunately, I had to file a claim against them with PayPal. They really have terrible customer service. Compared to Swanson Vitamins and Vitacost, these people really suck when it comes to taking care of their customers. I buy from Swanson Vitamins and Vitacost all the time because they have awesome discounts. The only reason I bought from Lucky Vitamin was because they were having a Memorial Day special (not as good as the ones Swanson's and Vitacost were having, but Swanson's and Vitacost don't carry the items I was looking for) and I thought I would give Lucky Vitamin a try. I am very disappointed that I did and wish I could cancel my other order now. DON'T BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE! They need to learn how to treat their customers better.

I had an awful experience with this company. I ordered some probiotics over the phone and the person who took my order made it sound like she heard my address correctly and did not ask me to repeat it. I never got an email confirmation and then I called to find out if it had shipped out and the person who took my order not only got my email address wrong but also my shipping address was completely different from what I had told her. I was told that I would have to wait until the item was attempted to be delivered and sent back to them in order to receive a refund or to have it re-shipped. I called back when the item was sent back and they told me they could send it back out but would not pay to expedite the shipping.
This is horrible customer service if you ask me. It was not my fault that the person taking the order got my address wrong and they should be doing everything they can to get the correct item back to me as soon as possible. The person I spoke with even asked his supervisor and the supervisor would not approve it. I ended up asking for a refund and I will never order from this company again.

This seller keeps making the same mistake over again. The first shipment had a very short "Best By" date. The second order had the same problem. I accepted their refund offer on the first order. Their second order -- I wanted to return the order, but it turns out that I have to pay the shipping charges, and repack and carry it and transport it to FedEx. Having to pay and do all this work for their mistake is not a fair business practice. Stay clear of this seller.

Strike 1: failed to disclose in order process that items out of stock. Strike 2: failed to deliver on expedite shipping. Strike 3: failed to refund extra charges on broken promise of shipping. Instead the reps are trained to be disagreeable and argumentative. Lesson learned: Do not pay extra for any shipping! They are not allowed to make satisfied customers.

After placing an order, I got a receipt saying everything was fine. The next day, I got an email saying I must contact Lucky Vitamin within 24 hours or my order would be canceled. When I contacted them, they said my address didn't match with credit card so they canceled the order. This only occurred because their "inferior" shopping cart could not accommodate a PO Box in the billing address. But the biggest problem was, they "took my money" from the card and said it would "eventually" be returned. Had their shopping cart and gateway been set up correctly, it would've simply "disapproved" the card without taking my money. I got absolutely no satisfaction from customer service.

I placed an order that qualified for free shipping. An order arrived, however, it was not what I had ordered at all. I called the company's customer service line, waited on hold for 4+ minutes only to get an "attitudinal" Lauren who was not interested in this customer's service. I asked to speak with a supervisor three times and was connected to "Pat's" voicemail-> left message. No response. Went to the website's "live chat" where "Christin" stated she'd cancel my order, generate a full refund to be posted within 24-48 hours, and not require me to send back the package their company erroneously shipped to me. When I went to check the status on the account page of their website, I found that my order had indeed been cancelled, however, I also found that I was now being charged a shipping fee of $5.95.
I re-contacted the company on the website's "live chat", and again got Christin who promptly told me that I was in error and that what I was looking at on my account page, on THEIR website was not there. I informed "Christin" that I logged the live chats and was filing a complaint with PayPal & my state's attorney general's office of consumer protection. Within 2 minutes, I received email notification from LuckyVitamin and a notice from PayPal of the full refund. However, I still fully intend to file complaints since I may not be the only consumer with whom they've attempted this highly questionable activity.

In the past year I have already placed several orders with Lucky Vitamin with minimal problems. Recently I placed an order and accidentally used my shipping address in the same blocks as my billing address (they are different). Due to this my order was flagged by their fraud department. The order was placed on a Saturday and I called them on a Monday morning to correct the mistake. The customer service rep who took the call immediately changed the information and told me that everything was okay. That same day I received another email from their fraud department stating that this was not sufficient to clear the order for processing.
So I sent an email to the fraud department explaining what had happened, that I had already contacted Lucky Vitamin customer service and asking them if this was sufficient. The return email form a rep in their fraud department (in my opinion) was somewhat trite and condescending and stated that I needed to call my bank/credit card issue and get an authorization code from them that had to be provided to Lucky Vitamin before the shipment would clear. I then called my bank to ask for this authorization code and was told that from what they saw the order was okay and there was no need to provide me with an authorization code.
Wednesday morning I again called Lucky Vitamin to advise them of this and talked to a customer service rep who was trying to be helpful but was obviously limited in the amount of support he could provide. He offered to contact the fraud department for me and I was placed on hold for at least 15 minutes. Upon him coming back on line I was told that there was nothing they could do, I would need to get this authorization code from the bank. I point out that I had placed several order previously, used the same credit card, shipping address and billing address so this order actually fit the profile of my previous orders. While I understood why it tripped their fraud profile, certainly anyone with common sense could see that if someone was attempting to commit fraud it would be unlikely that they would have the items sent to the same address as when my profile was created.
Getting increasingly frustrated I then asked to speak to a supervisor. After just over 10 minutes on hold I was told that "none of the supervisors want to talk to you since everything I already told you is correct." It was then suggested that I could cancel the existing order and reorder the same items as this would not trip the fraud profile. I immediately pointed out how little sense this made as this seemingly defeated the whole purpose of their guidelines. Nonetheless, the customer service rep stated that an authorization code or new order were the only options.
With this I then again called my bank to see what could be done. The rep I talked to this time from my bank and credit card issuer (Navy Federal Credit Union) stated that for security purposes they do not provide the authorization code to the card holder only vendor and that "any reputable vendor should know this."
Back to Lucky Vitamin I go one more time with a telephone call and as luck would have it reached the same customer service rep. Explained the situation and he once again maintained that a new order or the authorization code were the only options. He did offer to let me call my bank and then conference the call but I was too frustrated at this point and did not want to continue to be kept on hold.
One other frustrating issue was that I tried contacting the fraud department rep who sent me the email about the authorization code. In another sign of how amateur this company is, the phone number that he had in his email signature block was incorrect! Instead of having an "888" prefix it had a "800" prefix that was sending me to a totally different company. But since the answering voice message of the incorrect number never gave the company name this ended up having me redial this number multiple times trying to get to his office extension. This error had me totally frustrated before I even called their customer service number and is certainly one of the reasons that I find this company to be so unprofessional.
I did send an email to this person requesting reconsideration based on the facts (it was denied) but at least he did take my suggestion to correct his telephone number. If it wasn't that I had received vouchers to reduce the cost of the order I would have given up much sooner. As it is now, I just cancelled the order and will place it again in a day. Once this order is filled will then immediately cancel my account with this poorly managed outfit and utilize another of the many available options on the web.

After spending an average $100/month for the passsed few years, I will never again order from Lucky Vitamin. It was okay at first and then the service went down consistently with damaged boxes and items ordered wasted, but they would rather send a replacement for damages than just package it properly to begin with. After just receiving an order last week, I received an order confirmation for something I did not order. In fact I had just received the item and had no need to reorder a week later. I emailed customer service to cancel this and was told it was too late to cancel and to request a return label when the order (that I did not place) arrived.
I called to speak with a human being to resolve the fact that an unauthorized charge was made to my credit card to be told the same thing. Of greatest concern at this point is the (in) security of my financial information and the fact that someone has access to my credit card. I requested to close my account and remove my credit card number on file. The customer service representative told me to go into my account, delete the information, and just make up something else in it's place. I then asked to speak to a supervisor several times while he talked right over and argued vehemently that it was not "a supervisor issue." Just after the fruitless phone conversation, another charge was placed on my account for their $5.95 shipping charge but no product. Now I have to file claims with my credit card company for a disgruntled employee's ineptitude. Lucky Vitamin's prices are not worth the hassle, waste, and ridiculously awful service besides having your financial information at risk of being accessed by whoever they allow to make bogus orders.

Well, I apologize for my earlier review. I was just surprised at they way they handle payments I'm still not sure I understand it but it worked out exactly as they said it would. I received my products in a timely manner. They sent tracking numbers which were accurate. I got a little freaked out when I saw the way they approached payment and then looked online for reviews which were overwhelmingly bad. Either they have listened and corrected the Customer Service issues addressed in the reviews I read or the people reviewing just had an exceptional bad experience. So I jumped the gun. The products and pricing were excellent and the customer service was courteous, professional and quick. I will be ordering from Lucky Vitamin again and recommending it to others.

This was my first experience with this company and it will be my last as a customer. First of all, on the home page, they state in big red letters that there is free shipping on all orders over $49.00. My order was $68.00 so I was surprised when I got to checkout and found they had added $12 for shipping - I emailed and someone wrote back that it says elsewhere on the site that heavier items might require additional shipping charges. As I had ordered a yogurt maker, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let that go even though I never saw the caveat referring to heavy items.
I placed the order on July 3. This morning I saw on my bank account that the original charge had been subtracted from my account and an additional charge of $47.95 had been deducted from my account on July 5. I called this morning and a woman told me that since the item was from a third party, they also charged AGAIN for the yogurt maker some kind of rubbish about a hold. I told her that it wasn't being held; it had been deducted from my available funds. I do lots of shopping online and have never heard of anything like this. She said it was very common practice. The reasons it is baloney are obvious - for one thing, why deduct the full amount from my account then also whatever kind of "hold" for the other item?
I wish I had read the reviews before I did business with them. They are not BBB accredited. One review said they have an F BBB rating but I went to BBB and it said it wasn't BBB accredited but the rating was B+. Customer service is paramount. I think it'd even more so these days. As soon as I get my order (although from some of the reviews that may be more a question of if) anyway, I will never do business with them again and will remove my info even if I have to change cc.

I have placed multiple orders with this company over a 2 year period. Every time I choose Standard shipping, it takes around 3 days to ship out on items that claim they are in stock and 8 to 10 days to get to me. This last order I placed, I chose UPS direct for $8+ shipping. My order was $75+ and I wanted it sooner this time to see what would happen. Come to find out, 5 days after I placed the order it still hadn't shipped. I'd been buried at work so I hadn't noticed it. When I logged into my account, the status showed Open order.
I checked my email and saw nothing except the initial order confirmation. So I called them to see what the deal was. I was told it was on hold due to some billing issue. I hung up, called my CC company who said there shouldn't be any issue stopping them from billing me and shipping the order. I called Lucky's back and told them. Only then Lucky's claimed to me they couldn't ship it because the Billing and Shipping addresses were different?! I'd had 7 other orders that were the same situation and Lucky's shipped every one of them with no questions and they were billed to the same credit card, same CVV code and everything. So I hung up again. This time I'm calling my local Heath-Food Store to see if the owner could get me the exact same items I was trying to buy from Lucky's.
The stars must have been aligned correctly because she said yes, that her delivery truck was coming the next day and if I got my order in, it would be there when it came. I put it in just in time. I called Lucky's back again and canceled my order. I canceled the order 8 days ago and the $80+ pending charge has yet to be cleared off my credit card. I am somewhat close to my limit, so I called to have them remove it before I paid off my bill. They refused saying, "Oh, well it will just drop off in probably another 5-7 days, so it's not that big of a deal is it?"
Yes, it is a big deal if it causes me to overdraft! Pending charges on canceled orders still ties up spending ability. My credit card company told me that all Lucky's has to do is call Chase Bank directly and ask them to provide their Merchant ID number and request removal of the pending charge on my account. Lucky's still refused.
This company also does business or something under a name called S & P Properties LLC (?), something similar according to FireFox website verification. When my credit card company was looking for the pending charge though, it shows on their end as being billed from a company called What's the Big Deal. Apparently they're running under 3 different names with their bad attitudes and ripoffs. Stay away from them like the plague. They're not worth it.
Reviewed March 10, 2011
I placed an order to this company on March 4, 2011. I told them that because I was purchasing oils that I needed, I want it delivered the next day. The lady assured me that I would get it the next day, and that I could also pay to have an ice pack around each oil bottle. I told her I would like that. I called on Sunday and Monday to speak with a manager.
I was concerned that my package has not arrived. They would not allow me to hold for a supervisor or a manager, but they put me through to a voicemail assuring me that they would get back to me by the end of the day, they did not. Finally, the package arrived on Tuesday night of March 8, 2011. When I received it, there was no ice pack on the oils. They were turning (the best way to describe) like milk right before it goes sour. I also did not receive the chromium picolinate for my sugar. I found out it was on back order; this was not mentioned to me either.
I use these products for medicinal purposes, so I need the items to arrive when they tell me it will. I also need them to tell me if there would be trouble getting something to me because of a back order, this way I can plan better. If I need something right away, I can run to the store. I spoke to customer service again and they told me that they didn't have me down for ice packs and next day delivery. I told them I had a whole conversation with the lady about it. What was she doing when she was supposed to be typing these requests in the computer?
She shouldn't have that job, if she is going to daze out and not put the correct information in. All of these conversations I’m sure were recorded. They told me many people complained about next day deliveries not coming the next day because it was a Friday. I asked why they continue to lie to these people, but it seemed that the lady didn't even put me down for the next day because she was in “la-la land”. I’m a new customer and the service I received was nothing short of horrible.
