    I had ordered some vitamins twice, after 2 weeks of placing each order, I called customer service and they mentioned that it was delivered. Both time I got different answers, so I asked for my money back. The lady that answered mentioned to me that the refund was not process. So the new lady did it again, so I am waiting for my refund again. Very disappointed with their responses. I will not order from them anymore.

    When I wrote a requested review for Puritan's Pride, I had some negative comments regarding the quality of one of its products. Puritan's Pride denied the review. When I contacted Customer Service regarding the denial of my negative review, I received a firm reply saying that Puritan's Pride will contact me. I never heard back from Puritan's Pride again. As for its rewards program, you must purchase a minimum dollar amount to get any reward points at all. It is a shame because Puritan's Pride has a nice line of products but terrible customer service.

    I love Puritan's Pride vitamins!! They are a great, high quality brand. I especially love the ones that come in the form of gel caps. They are very well made and none of them are stuck together when they arrive...even if the destination is hot, humid Florida. A lot of times you can create your own "Buy 1 Get 2 Free" specials and you can always get coupons. They just do not always have the vitamin I am looking for. I applaud them for their great prices, quick delivery, and great quality!!

    I have ordered from this company in the past, but it looks like their QC has gone Downhill. 3 of 9 items in my order were Missing. It was like they "didn't think I'd notice". PP promised to ship the missing items, but information (Tracking info) is proving hard to come by. Could be a COVID0-19 Thing, i.e., skeleton staff, etc. but I don't know.

    I ordered 2 products, and paid a $15 express fee for shipping. At the time of order, they were in stock. After receiving no order after a couple days, I emailed to inquire. They informed me the product was out of stock, and I would have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for my products. Unacceptable, since they took my payment via PayPal within seconds of placing my order. Also, no history of my order on my account after 2 weeks. And no more responses to my inquires. Only constant emails advertising their wares, which I had to block! Beware, this company is shady!

    I've been PP's customer for few years, and I'm always happy with their selection of products. Also their prices are unbeatable, especially "Buy 1, get 1 or 2 Free" deals. I always make sure to check their clearance section and find some gems there too. I never had to deal with customer service until the last order, as all my previous orders were processed in timely manner and to my satisfaction.

    When I was checking out my last order, I get an error message that one of the "Buy 1, get 2 Free" items has limit of 2 bottles at Canadian Customs. I really wanted this item, so I called Customer Service, and the agent offered me to customize my order. He reduced the price by 1/3 to accommodate two bottles instead of three. I was pleasantly surprised of how quickly he found the solution to this problem. Excellent customer support! I'm a very happy customer, will buy more from Puritan's Pride.

    Disappointing customer service. Placed order for Zinc as well as Cherry Turmeric. Order was paid for via credit card and received confirmation email from Puritan's Pride that it had shipped. Received confirmation email from UPS that order had shipped, with tracking information. Great.... However when I tracked the order on the day it was to have been delivered, I found out that the order had been returned to the warehouse. And now (march 20) all Zinc related products are out of stock. For obvious reasons. After working with CSR located in South Africa for 2 days. Answer is: we don't know why product was recalled after shipping and we will refund your money. After waiting 1 week, and placing a group order with friends who were depending upon the order - not a very satisfactory resolution. Product is average. Customer service is poor.

    The vitamins are shipped in huge bottles that are only 1/2 filled with product. What is the point of that? Not only dishonest packaging, it is wasteful. Bonus: Prepare to have your inbox bombarded with daily 'sales' emails. I will be buying local, or ordering from another vendor.

    For years I have used Puritan products. Now I have lost trust in the company. The customer service department has been outsourced outside the US and the competence is non existent. I called about an order and the first thing he said was that it was shipped today. Obvious lie because I had already received the order with one item on backorder, which is what I was calling about. He informed me it was still on backorder and would be for another 3 months. OK, so why did you decide to charge my credit card for the item. Now I have to dispute the charge. Also, on my account it shows entire order as not shipped. Record keeping not up to date. Me thinks Vitamin Shoppe is better way to go.

    I've been a long time customer (since the 80's) of Nature's Bounty Co., which owns & operates Puritan.com, perhaps the largest American online seller of vitamins, minerals, herbs etc., since the beginning of the Web. They have always utilized 'volume pricing' (regular options to 'buy one get two free' and buy two, get three free'), are very diversified with a wide number of offered products, many of which are created/made for their own 'Puritan's Pride' brand. The many of these products my wife and I have repeatedly used over the years, seem every bit as outstanding as those made by the many other fine co's who offer their products via health food markets vitamin shops, & their own websites.

    I have been buying from Puritan's Pride for over 40 years. After I moved to Israel, there has been a huge change with orders and availability of support staff. I have ordered many items and have not had any negative comments about any of them. I do agree with other reviews that since PP has outsourced there has been a decline. Many of the regular items I order are not available in Israel. Worst is that the staff in Israel do NOT speak English. I have called the New York office for help with orders and orders sent to the wrong address. Oh sure I could go on. No point. PP must get the act together or most of the old time customers with go to IHERB. You have great prices and specials. But there is a limit to how many mistakes can be tolerated.

    I used to order vitamins from Puritan's Pride for several years and I thought it is respectable and reliable company, but... I live in Russia and I have to pay for international shipment. That's why I always try to order for about $100. It is clear, if I buy 1 product with $10 price and pay $17 for the shipment in fact I get that product for $27, but if I buy 10 pcs for $100 and pay $25 for the shipment one piece is $12.5. They sent last package without some ordered product. Nobody told me before the package was sent that some position is out of stock. If they did - I would change order and keep average cost of vitamins including shipment in a resonable limits. But they didn't warn me and informed me when I could change nothing.

    They refunded money for the absent position but as a result I've bought vitamins 50% more expensive (with a glance of shipping cost) than I ordered! Nice difference! Moreover, shipment cost with such a cut order had to be cheaper but they didn't cut it for the less weight. I wrote to Customer Help explaining situation. I hoped they compensate my loss by some way but the answer was "We are sorry, bla-bla-bla, please order again." Who would buy again after that? I don't want to get vitamins 50% more expensive than I paid for. Shame on you, Puritan's Pride! P.S. After this review (on another platform) I got reply from the company. They refunded $5 for wrong shipment cost and sent $5 as apology. Nobody in Puritan's Pride tried to calculate how much I really lost. I wrote to them again with detail calculation but they don't need to keep loyal customers: still no answer.

    When shopping online I always use Rakuten or RebatesMe to save money. On 11-28-2019, I shopped the Black Friday sales on Puritan's Pride using RebatesMe. They had partnered with RebatesMe to provide 14.5% cash back during the Black Friday sales, which was a slightly better percentage than Rakuten offered. Now they claim they do not work with RebatesMe and refuse to pay the $36.30 they owe me on the $250.36 I spent! I have always had trouble getting them to pay up thru Ebates (now Rakuten), but getting Ebates to chase down my cash back always worked. Now it looks like Puritan's Pride is just balking at paying what they owe. I have been a good customer, but now I will shop for vitamins and supplements at other online stores that honor their commitments. They are just sleazy and dishonest. I hope others follow suit and avoid this dishonest company.

I told him I live in a house not an apartment. He said they would do an investigation and hung up.

    I was a customer of Puritan's Pride (PP) for 45 years. I have lived in the US and I now live in Japan. I was recently informed that my latest order was canceled. The reason was that PP now has a distributor in Japan. They informed me that I would have to use their distributor. Fair enough. Well, their distributor charges higher prices AND they did not carry certain items that I needed. I called PP and told them and their response was "that is not our problem." They told me that should I need to make a purchase I would need a US address and US credit card.

    I have both, so I made an order to my US address using my US credit card. It was canceled again! I called them. They informed me that since the address was for a shipping forwarder, they suspected that I would have the items sent to Japan and so they canceled the order! BUT ISN'T THAT ILLEGAL, CANCELING AN ORDER TO A US ADDRESS? I told them on the phone and again their response "that is not our problem." Is this the way they treat their customers of 45 years? This is disgusting.

    At the very least they should offered to ship the items that their distributor did not carry! NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH. PP has shown that they care NOTHING about their customers and only care about their money! Oh, they also lied to me. I asked them if I should have my order sent to a friend in the US and have her send it to me. They said that ALL their products would be blocked by the Japanese customs service that are not through their distributor and I would lose my money! THIS IS A TOTAL AND OUT AND OUT LIE!

    Let me preface this review by saying I have spent thousands of $$$ over the years supporting Puritan's Pride. On March 19, 2019 I placed an online order and received a confirmation of the order via email. I was supposed to receive my package in 10-14 days. Three weeks later I called and was told the order hadn't been processed yet. They hadn't billed me yet. I was so furious that they hadn't processed or sent my order and asked what they were going to do about it. The "supervisor" said he'd have it processed the next day (Monday) and overnight shipped the following day.

    After not receiving my package again for another 10 days, I called Puritan's Pride only to be told the order had been accidentally canceled. I was again enraged. I demanded to speak to a supervisor who said he would research the original order and ship it out immediately. He did. I received my package today and 1/5 of my order is missing. I called and spoke to a "supervisor" who told me those 5 items are out of stock and they couldn't sell them to me for the same price as when I ordered them 7 weeks ago. I was livid. He said "I'm sorry you feel that way". WHAT! How about "I'm sorry we're incompetent". By the way, their call center is in the Philippines not in the US.

One bag was missing from the shipment. I called their customer service number and explained the situation to JJ in the Dominican Republic. The hallmark of scumbag outfits is to outsource customer service to some third world ** where worker are paid $0.12/hour. JJ assured me that I would be contacted by someone from the New York Office. A week goes by and no one calls. I send an email to their customer service, and three days later, no response.

    Hello! My experience with Puritan's Pride is quite good. I received fast my order, anything was missing except items that are out of stock. (The best deal, maybe to push you to order?) But I also saw on the front page, "Receive with an order made today, a free complimentary gift." No gift in my package and I called them, polite but they said, “No gift was offered this day and not what you pretend.” It was on their front page on the top and I remember the picture.

    Yesterday I placed two orders of vitamins and fish oil on Puritan's Pride website and received the order numbers after I submitted my orders. However, I did not get the confirmation e-mails. So I contacted their customer service and was told my orders didn't get through because my Chase Sapphire Visa failed to approve the payments. I then contacted Chase Visa immediately. Chase Visa told me they had approved the two payments instantly when the requests were received. This evening around 8:20pm, I contacted Puritan's Pride customer service again to check the status of my orders. They just repeated the same story with the same reason, even though I clearly told them that Chase Visa had already approved the payments a day ago. I am so disappointed!!

    This is such a bad company that first I placed my order on 07-08-2018 and they received the payment by my credit card and after few days they send me a notification email that, "Your order has been shipped and you will receive it within 6 weeks" but even after 8 weeks the order not delivered. Then even after several email they told me, "There was a mistake. We will send you the replacement order". Then after 10 days they again send me the notification email that again "Your order has been shipped on 16-10-2018 and it will be deliver it to you shortly." Now it’s going to be 4 months from my order placement. I am unable to get my order due to the lack Puritan's Pride services. They are such a careless company for which they are not caring for their customers which is the main objective of a organization. Please don't place any order with them. It’s just wastage of time and money. They will not reply back to your emails and even not help.

    I placed a order on Sept 28th online for essential oil set. I logged back in a few days later to check my order and it showed someone else's name, address and phone number. I called Puritan's Pride customer service and the guy acted as if I was lying. I offered to send them a picture of the order history and what it showed. He said okay. He also told me it might be a computer error. He did not seem too concerned someone's personal info was showing on my order history.

    I then sent an email to customer service with a snapshot of the proof of what was on my page. They never responded. I placed another order yesterday and went to check on it today and it doesn't show any order. There is a serious issue going on at Puritan's Pride and someone needs to check into what is going on. I intend to call the local attorney general today. There is an extreme issue with personal info getting into other folk's hands and they don't care about it.

    I've been ordering from Puritan's Pride for quite a while and am generally fine. The fish oil received once was cloudy but most of the items are fine. The problem with ordering seems to be intentional by Puritan's Pride so that they may try and sell you more items at check out. Then when I call the first card I give them is always denied. The speed in which the order taker asks for another credit card makes me suspicious of why this is being done. Possibly to the point of discontinuing future purchases. The card(s) I've used work everywhere else and are cards that are rejected online. They miraculously work (on the second card) every time. Are you doing something illegal here? Can you explain this in a reasonable fashion?

    This is a copy of the email I sent to the customer service, which was never responded to... Then I called and was offered $5... Which is not the email offer extended to me and I have them all in writing and did exactly everything that was required. This may not be totally clear, but suffice it to say they do NOT live up to their end and their customer service was awful! Lost a customer! "Placed my order $111 and change. Had $10 off in cart, which it applied discount to $101 and change. Placed order thru PayPal. Received emailed stating “Oops something went wrong." Now $10 is gone. Also the free promo for today only, gone too. I’ll also be gone unless you’re able to fix this..."

    Have been purchasing their products for years, recently their products and service have gone way down. Last week received some vitamins and Fish Oil, the Fish Oil came stuck together and could not even come out of the bottle. Called and after being transferred to the "customer service" the phone kept ringing and never got answered (after 20 minutes). Not an isolated case, have had problems like that before and took quite some time to resolved.

    Puritan's Pride (PP) uses United Parcel Service (UPS) Surepost as their delivery vehicle. The theory is that UPS picks up your box at the PP location, delivers it to the USPS facility. USPS then takes it to your quarters. The experience is totally different in this area. The UPS driver DROPS your package off where it requires the least work for him. On one occasion, he dropped in front of my garage at night. It had been raining and was due to rain again. In front of the garage door provides little protection against the weather.

    At a more recent time, the driver DROPPED a package of vitamins on the concrete in front of my front door. Fortunately, the package was fairly well packed and nothing was broken. I watched the driver and filed a complaint with PP once. I cancel my order with a mail order firm rather than have UPS deliver to my quarters. I have had unsatisfactory interaction with their supervisors in the past. PP management will not have to worry about using the profit from my purchases to lower their personal mortgage balance or their monthly car payment in the future.

    Recently, I've been a little disappointed with Puritan's shipping time. I understand that they are having a massive sale, but even when I've ordered during similar sales (buy 1 get 2 free), I've never had a delay in my order. They always shipped it within 2 days and I usually got it within 4. Well, it's been 4 days since my order was placed and just now they shipped it. This means that it's not going to arrive until another 7 days. So disappointing. I've had an issue with hormones imbalance and hirsutism for years. I finally figured out what my problem is and ordered the right vitamins and nutrients. These weren't even in the buy 1, get 2 free sale.

    So needless to say, I was super excited to get them and kept going to my mail the last two days expecting it to have arrived as other Puritan purchased products have. When I contacted support, they didn't have a real reason for the delay, the customer service rep was clueless. She simply assured me that they would arrive by next Thursday. Yeah, ok. If shipping was delayed, let's hope the products that arrive are the correct ones and not expired. I don't overlook little details like that. I had the highest regard for Puritan in all levels for the past couple of years, but recently it's like they changed CEOs or strategies. I don't like it one bit.

    I placed an order with Puritan’s Pride on January 4, 2017. Their website acknowledges the order date (see attached). After 3 days of not hearing anything, I called customer service. Their customer service is in the Philippines, so I had to struggle to understand the representatives. I mean, these customer service reps are USELESS. They just repeat the same script over and over. They don’t promise ANY action to address the problem at hand. I called customer service 3 more times over 3 days. Once, during business hours I was connected with someone named Debbie, I think, who was in the U.S. Debbie also assured me the order would ship that afternoon. Needless to say, it did not. Meanwhile, my credit card had already been charged 2 days prior to this.

    Later that evening, I called customer service in the Philippines again and received the same robotic response from the customer service representative. I asked to speak to a manager and she again started to repeat the same response. Now, my blood was boiling. I demanded to speak to a supervisor. A supervisor named Edmar came on the phone. I explained the problem. He offered no solution nor recourse and repeated the same script as the customer service rep.

    As of now, it has been 5 days since the order was placed and it is still sitting in the warehouse, according to the Puritan’s Pride website. I am out $70. As of 2 days ago and nothing has shipped, despite promises for the last 3 days that the order would ship, first yesterday and then today. I DO NOT recommend doing business with this company. I am in my 60s and have done most of my shopping online for the past decade or so and this has been one of the top 3 or 4 worst customer service experiences of my life.

    My experiences have been nothing but positive. This company is one of the best on the internet and as well as catalogue sales. They have most of the products I need as well as fantastic sales as well as a lot of products that cannot be purchased anywhere else online. I also feel that the shipping is reasonably priced, it is very quick delivery. Customer service is quick and efficient too. I like the item reorder list and how easy it is to use. However, I wish that they would carry some additional products that I have a need for. Sometimes when they offer their buy one get 3 or more for free, I feel that there should be more products included in those sales.

    I like the specials they offer such as 2 or 3 items for the price of 1. Their turnaround time for receiving an order and getting it out the door is very quick. Their shipping time is phenomenal too. Puritan’s Pride fast shipping offers a wide variety of vitamins and herbs. Also, their customer service has always been polite and very professional. Their shipping costs and expediting policy and procedures are above average as well. There is nothing about Puritan's Pride that I would change. But maybe I could persuade them to have a four for one sale on occasion. It seems as though they have put in a lot of time and thought into how to have a happy returning customer.

    Their customer service is great and helpful. I also like their prices and selection of products. Shipping is pretty quick. The return policy is also great--tey give you quite a bit of time to return unwanted products. They have great promotions but a loyalty program would be great. I would be more likely to buy all my vitamins there is I was rewarded for doing so. They should also encourage customers to leave reviews on the products. Some products had no reviews and I would like to hear from real customers before I try new vitamins.

    Puritan's Pride has a wide selection of vitamins and supplements and the shipping and delivery were fast as well. The prices on the vitamins and supplements are very good and competitive too. They also have great offers like sales and BOGO deals. I always look forward to the booklets they send me in the mail where I can see all of the vitamins and supplements in one book. However, they do not have the best quality vitamins and supplements. I ordered 500 mg magnesium capsules and when it came I found out it was magnesium oxide which is the lowest quality magnesium you can find with a low bioavailability/absorption rate at about 23 percent. Magnesium oxide is very cheap so maybe that's why they have such good sales all the time.

    Puritan's Pride has good prices and quality vitamins. They have good sales and selection. The website is very easy to shop and find specific items. I feel good when I take these vitamins. The checkout does not reflect discounts, sometimes. Their customer service is a little slow, so they may need more employees. I have been a customer for around ten years and have had no problems with my orders or the company. Deliveries of orders are made in a reasonable time. I have good lab results, so they're probably helping.

    Puritan's Pride has been around for over 40 years. They offer free shipping for online orders, and they offer specials. The items are place where you can easily see them and the payment methods allows cash, credit, or PayPal. On the other hand, they could update the product they sell. They need to offer newer products that is new to the market, the selection was outdated (could use a face-lifted). I think that they should offer free shipping on more of their items. The service is on point, they response to my questions in a timely manner, and the shipping schedule is flexible.
