Puritan's Pride

Full review
Puritan's Pride is a company that distsributes pills and health oriented products both Homeopathic and regular. They are an extremely customer service oriented comapny that I've been using for years.

You can go to a secured web page for ordering and Puritan's Pride accepts Master card, Visa and Amex credit cards, debit cards and checks as well. They offer a money back guarantee, something in all my years of shopping here I've never had to use.You can start an account and have a list of your favorites by registering. You can also enroll in the Life Rewards program which will give you points for every dollar you spend  Their product comes in PETE bottles. PETE is a plastic that has excellent barrier properties against air and moisture when compared to other plastics, which helps ensure freshness.


The shipping at times is free or a nominal $4.95 per order (recently went up $1.00) and their shipping is astonishingly fast.  I was promised 4 days but past experience has seen the orders come sooner. You can upgrade to faster shipping methods but I don't bother since my experience with fast delivery has been excellent. They will keep an accounting of your favorite items so you can re order quickly. They ship internationally to Japan, Switzerland and Austria. It's reassursing to to know that they were rated #1 in 2007 in brand name catalog consumer satisfaction.They manufacture all their own products and are approved  by the Good Practices Seal. They have been doing business for 40 years. 


On the site there are quick click links buttons for Home, New Products, Go Shopping, Vitamin Infrmation  Guide, Company Info and Customer Service on the left. Then under that there are two search methods:  

1. A to Z product index  

2. Search by box ( 3 choices of search guidelines including Product name, Product number and Description).  

Further down on the left is a catalog request link. Catalog downloading is also available. Right now they are featuring a sun screen kit for $9. They offer health news  like "snap up Omega 3's featured August 1st. Each product area offers several varieties and sizes of the product.

You can order their free catalog or subscribe to their emails to keep up with their frequent sales. Those would be the times to stock up on whatever pills you use. Besides pills they offer homeopathic medicines and scented oils. When ordering from the site you can enter the name or number of your item to find it. You can also call customer service and have your order handled on the phone. Ordering from the site you will often see exciting new items or health notes to keep you informed on products. 

I use joint support and herbal supplements( Glucosamine, Fish Oil, Flax seed, Red Yeast Rice), Nutritional oils, multi vitamins, Antioxidants and Calcium supplements. The prices are amazing. You can count on a bogo (buy one get one free only it's usually buy one get TWO free!!! whenever you shop. So for instance when I order my Glucosamine I pay $16.39. I get two more bottles for that price, amazing yes? 

They have over 150 products. The catalog is easy to follow with product by product sections. My orders always seem to arrive incredibly fast, usually within 2-3 days.  I love that I can just order over the phone or online and have it delivered to my door. You can scroll through 5 pages at a time online.

The standard shipping no matter the size of your order is $4.95.  For customer service call  1 800 645 1030 . Your order confirmation can be sent to you by email for confirmation or you can get a confirmation number if you order by phone.  Some of the perks are:Receive a Free Gift With Your First Purchase, earn 1 Point for every dollar spent. You can get up to a 10% rebate Bbck on eligible purchases and there are double point opportunities. Also you can get 10% off the first week of each month. 

A little pill info/test: Dissolve a pill in vinegar. If it dissolves quickly in vinegar it will dissolve quickly in your stomach

I love the  link to pill size. I can avoid pills I feel are too large to swallow buy checking this chart.  Each pill will give you the quantity you need to take per day. I am most impressed with the incredibly fast service and  the great bargains.
