Full review
I needed to purchase some new vitamins,
Garden of Life Living Multi Optimal for Women, which are a bit pricey. I searched the net to find the lowest price, which turned out to be at
Vitacost.com I decided to give them a try.
FINDING AND BUYING
There is a large selection of products available at
Vitacost.com besides the vitamins I wanted. They carry emergency & survival items, testing kits & supplies, pet things, herbs, bath & beauty products, books and even more! I was surprised by this as I had assumed they were the basic vitamin/supplement type store.
Finding an item is easy. You can browse through products, categories or brands. There is also a search engine that works by keyword or item number.
To
purchase an item you simply add the number you wish to buy and click on the
add to cart button.
The availability of the product is listed as well as its shipping time. i.e.: Ships within 24 hours. This is a nice feature as I really dislike finding things wont be shipped for weeks!
Before checking out, you have the ability to make adjustments to your cart as well as save some of the items for a later purchase. I like this option as it enables you to add things as you find them, store them and then have them at your finger tips when you are ready to buy them. A real time saver which is always good!
All of the regular personal and credit card information is needed to checkout. A password is chosen to bring up all your previous information the next time.
SHIPPING
There are four
Shipping options available for orders delivered within the Continental United States. The fastest is overnight, followed by 2 day, 3 day and then ground which is listed as 1 - 7 days.
I am a big fan of one price shipping and was glad to see
Vitacost.com has it. All ground shipped orders are $4.99, regardless of the size. I find it is a good reason to add a few more things since the shipping price will remain the same - guess they see me coming. My order arrived in about a week, right within their delivery window.
I was not charged tax but noticed that Utah residents are tax on all items and Florida residents on some products.
**~~**~~**2BUZYS FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE SITE~~**~~**
This last year was a tough one for me, both physically and mentally. It was suggested I try these specific vitamins and hopefully they will work out. One thing they have already done is helped me to find a great website.
Vitacost.com has a large selection of products, was easy to navigate and had the lowest price. Their shipping was low; the product was well packaged and arrived in a timely matter. Hard to find anything to complain about so I am giving it all five stars!
