“Outstanding Customer Service: Nutriessential.com Exceeded My Expectations”

Mohammed S.
6/19/24

I recently had an issue with a delayed delivery of a product I purchased from Nutriessential.com, and initially, I was quite frustrated. However, my experience since then has completely changed my perspective on the company. Nutriessential.com went to great lengths to address my concerns and ensure my complete satisfaction with their service. The customer service team demonstrated an outstanding commitment to resolving my issue. Special thanks to Rachel King, the Customer Service Director, who was incredibly responsive and attentive throughout the process. Her dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Rachel and her team took the time to understand my situation and worked diligently to resolve it promptly. Their efforts reassured me that Nutriessential.com genuinely cares about their customers' experiences and is willing to go the extra mile to make things right. I am now a very satisfied customer and will continue to shop with Nutriessential.com, confident in the knowledge that they stand behind their services. Thank you again to Rachel King and the entire Nutriessential.com team for your exceptional service!

“Additional costs”

Mary-Jane G.

I placed an order and paid including shipping and then I get an email about extra charges, not only that, they took these charges out of my account, without asking me. I had very little money in my bank so this stung. I sent them emails that they haven't replied to as yet, and yet they replied to the review defending themselves, and im still not sure if I'm getting my product, which was a product to maintain my health.

How is it that Nutriessentials.com shows a product as available, take your money and when you reach out to them after 10 day and have not received tracking info on your order, they tell you that the item is not in stock. Even till this date, the website still shows it as in stock. I contacted them to ask for a refund and they tell me they will give me store credit. Why would I buy from a company that does not deliver and has such shady practices? Buyers beware, do not shop here as they will take your money and ignore you.

Hello Evgeniya,

Thank you for reaching out.

I have forwarded your concern to our customer service director, who will get in touch with you as soon as possible. I believe there may have been a miscommunication.

Please note that we deal directly with the manufacturer, and sometimes we are at their mercy regarding the availability of items, such as the product you requested. These items can be out of stock or have specific restock dates due to high demand, and we are actively liaising with the manufacturer to determine when they will be back in stock so we can update our website accordingly.

If that is the case, we offer several alternative options, including store credit or replacement. We always prefer to be clear with our customers and provide all alternatives, as some customers wish to proceed in other ways rather than a refund. However, a refund is always one of the options we provide.

We have been established since 2005 and receive numerous orders daily. Please understand that it was never our intention to appear shady. Expect to hear from us soon regarding your requested refund.

Thank you for your understanding.
--
As we have communicated over emails, Nutriessential has confirmed issuing a refund to your attached card.

I purchased a product May 18th. They told me that it had been shipped. I kept asking for the tracking number. Then they told me that in fact the product was out of stock. Some days later, a different agent sent me a shipping number, May 31st, but the USPS tracking number has not shown any movement since June 3. I have repeatedly asked for a refund. I wrote a review for the Better Business Bureau, which they refuted, and the Better Business Bureau investigated and substantiated my claim. Do not buy from them.

Dear Lourdes,
Greetings and thank you for reaching out!

We apologize for the delayed reply and any inconvenience caused. Your concern has been escalated to our Customer Service Director for further attention. As stated in our international shipping policies, we are unable to contact customs directly from our location in the US. If you have not received your order after receiving an update from USPS indicating that the shipment is in transit to its destination, it likely means that the shipment is being held by customs.

We understand your frustration, especially with supplement orders, as customs need to verify several factors, such as ingredient approval, before proceeding with delivery. For more information on our international shipping policies and why it is essential for customers to contact customs in such situations

We encourage all our customers to check their country's banned ingredients and regulations before placing an order to avoid such issues.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

If I could have left zero stars I would have. I am still waiting 5 months later for a supplement I ordered in January of 2024 and we are in May. After many attempts to contact them, they make excuse after excuse for not being able to respond. I wanted a refund and they stopped answering my emails. They do not let you add comments on Instagram because they know it will be full of negative feedback.
I work hard for my money. Although it was only 70 dollars and not more that I spent, they stole it. I didn't get what I ordered and they are running and skipping all the way to the bank because I was stupid enough to not so my research about this lie of a company.

I ordered some Wobenzyme N, waited and never received so I reached out and was told they won't be in until late April, in the meantime I found elsewhere to purchase the product. I reached out for a refund and that is where I'm at now. Very poor communication still no refund numerous emails about how they are reviewing my case, very very hard to work with. I will not use again. They seem to be an overseas company do be very careful if you do business with them. I highly recommend you do not.

Without a doubt, Nutriessential is a game changer. Their supplements are of the highest quality, and their supplement line meets a variety of health requirements. Customer service is also excellent. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and helpful when I had trouble with my order. And I've noticed a significant increase in my energy and overall wellness since using their products! I wholeheartedly recommend Nutriessential to anyone looking for effective, high quality supplements.

I placed an order in October (order #*******) for over $500 worth of supplements. After 10 days without any news, I contacted the customer service again and they explained that my products were not available. I was then offered a refund or to choose other products. I immediately asked for a refund which I am still waiting for 4 months later.
Customer service told me several times that my refund was in process. But I never received anything and the support ended up not answering me anymore. I am desperate about this situation. The amount of money stolen is huge for me.

Never order from them.

Nutriessential, I remain at your disposal so that the refund can finally take place. I will then withdraw my review.

I purchased a product back in April and we are in July and I keep getting promises and excuses after another. It is ridiculous how they are still claiming to be wanting to make things right with expedited shipping and nothing. I am disputing them and there is no doubt they are a fraud. I can't even get a phone number to talk to a representative it's all been through email communication. Buy somewhere else don't waste your money and time.

Noelly not sure if you are a customer or a competitor who trying to tarnish our image since we have mostly positive reviews. We have been in business for over 16 years now and have over 150,000 customers with very high retention rates. We also include backorder products in our shipping policy the following statement in our website: Some popular products can become on back-order the day we try to place them with manufacture so we will reserve them for you and once they become available you will be a priority in the waiting list to receive them and it will be shipped directly to you from the manufacture or their main distributor with expedite shipping. However anytime you wish not to wait for them then please notify us and we can cancel your order immediately and credit back your account.

Scam company! Florida address listed in website is fake! I made an order for $242 on 1st May. It is now 4th November 6 months later and I never received the item. I chased repeatedly and received a vague sentence at 2 months "check with local customs" with no tracking or ID or information on how to do so. I was then ignored until I started leaving negative feedback. I now receive vague sentences refusing to issue a refund. Cannot find any company registration details to report them. They are a scam outfit - search reviews https://g.co/kgs/wGsi5m such as these -also attached - stealing money from many people - suspected to be in India. I have no money and to lose this with no recourse is devastating

Tip for consumers:
Avoid at all costs - please search this scam company - they are stealing from many people and likely based in India

If I could give this company zero star. I would! They are such unprofessional. Making things so hard for a customer. I regret making a purchase from here. Which I tried to rectify by sending in a cancellation email but they were quick to assure me the order had already shipped. And when I am trying to return the order they are charging me 25% restocking fee and q7$ For (re routing?/ not sure what they is). So basically they are telling me you can't return the order that I never used! So disappointed. Lost 110$ to this company

Beware of this company! I have been waiting for my order since December 2022 and it is now February 2023. Customer support have just given me the run around by email when I have asked for proof my order has shipped. Worst of all they haven't offered to give me a refund. I have asked twice by email for a refund and am yet to receive it. Appalling customer service that poor communication with new customers.

I bought and payed a number of dietary supplements and they were supposed to ship my order.
After more than 1 month nothing were delivered to my address nor they want to refund me.
No replacement possible.
It's a fraud
Pay attention with this company

Tip for consumers:
no good policy.
they dont refund and want to force me to choose alternative supplements that are no suitable at all for me.
It's me who pay and choose, it's my right
I want to be refund, simply if they are no able to give me what I wish to have, instead they charged my card without giving me what I bought and payed
in a few words it's a FRAUD

Will not answer phone, emails, they will take your money. Now I must call my credit card company what other option am I left with. Do not make the same mistake I did.
Update: they did refund my money, after emailing them I was filing a complaint with the bbb and would be leaving reviews all over the internet, the product I purchased still shows it's available on the website when it clearly is not and hasn't been for some time. They also called me several times asking me to remove this review and had several excuses as to why they never delivered the product or refunded my money. The person handling my order no longer works there/they didn't have my email address. I am just thankful I did get my money back.

I found this site when I was looking for a supplement that was/is currently hard to find because of it's immune support properties. So, when it showed that one of these products were in stock, I ordered several. After waiting several weeks without receiving anything or any emails from them, I sent them an email. Two days later I got a response that the product was on back order and would be coming in the end of the month (Oct.) and shipped in order of orders received. Towards the end of Nov., still nothing, I sent them another email, this time i haven't gotten a response. I also made the mistake of placing another order with them that day that hasn't come. They also have billed me for products that I haven't received. I sent them another letter today, who knows if they'll respond?

Nutriessential has been my site of choice for my probiotics for many years! Their prices are fair and they always have a bit of a discount code you can use (every little bit helps :) The products I order get to me super fast and with ice packs (if needed). Tracking and customer service are also good!

Tip for consumers:
Definitely set up an account. Their new site is secure and easy to use.

I placed a pretty large order and received it. It finally all came in. My patrons came for their appointments and were muscle tested for the specific items ordered for them. Only 1 of the clients was totally compatible with what was ordered for them. So about half the order is waiting on a call to help through the process of sending back.
I marvel when ther is always someone ready tontake ones money, but no concern for helping out when there are issues concerning returns.
I also was notified by Health Concerns that Phellistatin is now available and wanted to get that in exchange for some of these items that are not compatible with my clients. And I am not sure why as I muscle test strong for the ones I need and have 2 clients that muscle test strong, while the rest do not and it is harder on the body to take something not compatible as taking nothing at all for the issues.
None of the containers have been opened or had the plastic seal broken as opening is not necessary for muscle testing so I would like to get this cleared up and I have them in a container awaiting a resentative to help me reverse this process.
I hope you are a company that is there in the good times and bad.
I left a very detailed item list and explanation of what I could not use and it would then show what was kept.
So I would appreciate a call as soon as possible as I am leaving town for 2 weeks late this afternoon.
Thank you for you time and all your help.

Tip for consumers:
I am concerned by the lack of concern if items need to be returned. Nonway way to get ahold of them. As for the returns, my only communication has been ignored so far. This is concerning for future purchases. I have placed some sizable orders and feel that should account for the ability to get ahold of someone easily if and when there are issues.

When you purchase something online- you expect to be at some certain guidelines established to be a decent amount of service. Unfortunately, it seems to be less and less the case today with many businesses. We ordered a very common supplement that we have ordered on another website. WE thought it would be no big deal to order it on this website even though it was not one I was familiar with currently. We purchased it on 2/17 and our credit card was charged the next day. However, we never have received the product and it is March 15th which no update. I inquired a week ago through their email and also through their own website contact form and told them if it is not even processed cancel the order. We had no response.

We have not heard anything about shipping except for the picture I will put down below which asks you to download an app to track your shipping- but it looks it has not been shipped (even though they charged the account). I assume they are selling your information to another 3 rd party so you can track your package that is their responsibility. I wish this could be not as common as it seems to be getting and seems to be at the least poor customer service and at the most - fraud with taking your money and no product received. I understand that things may take a couple of weeks but after a month an ignoring our efforts to follow up-- is there a problem?

I do appreciate this site for its ability to give honest comments and reviews of when this happens to share with consumers to beware of sites like these. I wish I would have checked more on this because I may be next writing the BBB. What a pain but I think as consumers we have a responsibility to keep businesses accountable especially if they are holding or taking money out of our account without giving or sending our products out! We used to call it stealing! LOL ;) So just be aware of your money and how you buy on this site.

UPDATE: After I wrote this review, I did receive an email that they were sending my product and apologized that it was on backorder. I did ADD two stars for the service for the expedited shipping at no cost and their response. However, I did take off stars for the fact I did not receive a response until I wrote a review and that they did not respond to my emails for weeks after I complained and asked them to cancel. I did get the product elsewhere so I now have extra. I do give credit for them trying to help and apologize. I did want to update this review accordingly because I do believe we need to be honest and give second chances. Thank you for my product and if you would like to give them a chance- I would make sure they have your product in stock before paying for it. It seems there may be a problem with this and the customer service 1) not answering emails and 2) only have an answering machine with their number. :)

Tip for consumers:
Don't use- no customer service and no response if asking about products that charged our card for but 1 month later have not received.

Products used:
The supplement was on backorder and did not respond to emails until I wrote a review.
