What our customers say...

 

  • I just wanted to say what excellent service you have! My husband and I ran out of our Ola Loa and didn't get a chance to come to your store over the weekend. We ordered them from your website on Sunday night and they were delivered today! We are so excited, because we can't go without our Ola Loa vitamins even for one day! My husband is taking 2 to 3 of the pink energy ones and 1 sport one a day! He is hooked (which is why we go through them so quickly). Thank you so much! - Molly
  • I thought I'd let you know that the order you sent on Friday 20 February arrived this morning at 8.45 GMT - I can't remember how many hours you are behind us. Now that's what I call good service! Thanks again, - Astrid H., Basingstoke, UK
  • Just writing to tell you how impressed I have been over the past 2 years with your on-line order process. Without exception, my order arrives on the east coast 3-4 days after placing it via your website.....no mistakes, no delays, no excuses, a fair S&H charge and a very competitive price. Thanks for the great service!! - Regards, Charles A.
  • Hello, I am writing to tell you how impressed and pleased I am with your great prices and super fast service! I ordered Monday night from NC and my purchase arrived mid-day Thursday. I am anxious to try this new product and will definitely purchase from you again. Thank you. - Lynn K., Raleigh, North Carolina
  • I've enjoyed the three products so far. The Melatonin has "cured " my sleeplessness. The Choline & DMAE are great pick me ups, and long lasting mood enhancers, because I'm so "Awake". I'm looking forward to my next order. Thanks Vitamin Express! - Jindra P., Australia

  • Great site! Very informative, interesting, and easy to load. Also, I was in your San Francisco store for the first time yesterday - such helpful staff there! Great selection and prices. I'm coming back next week to get some Progest cream and Zia makeup. - Anna C., San Francisco, California
  • Thanks for the great newsletter. Vitamin Express is the best health store I've been to (I go to the one in Berkeley, great staff). I'm moving to the L.A. area soon (yuck) so am glad I'll be able to order things online. Not sure anything can save me from that much smog though.... Thanks again for the high quality stores & great prices! - Caroline M., Berkeley/LA, California
  • Thanks for your email, and service. I have been looking all over San Diego county for several months for a particular product I bought a couple years ago at a health foods place. They no longer carry it. FINALLY, it dawned on me Friday to surf the net for the product, and there was your company at the top of the choices. Thanks for making this available to me. - Karen P., El Cajon, California
  • I really like your site. Information and good prices. I doubt I will search the net further for other places to shop...unless you don't have what I need. - Ghina S., Columbia, Maryland
  • You people are really on the ball and I truly appreciate it very much. The day I sent in my order and said I couldn't find the primrose oil one of your staff called me and told me where to find it and also gave me information about the different kinds you carry and I ended up adding to my order. Very impressive. Keep up the good work and you now have a new customer in sunny Florida. I will be telling my family and friends about you too! Thanks, - Dutchi R., Jacksonville, Florida
  • I placed an order around noon on Wednesday, receiving lots of good answers to my questions. I was told the order would be shipped within 24 hours and it would take 4 days (4 business days, I assumed). I was running out of Endocreme and prepared myself not to count on receiving the order until next Wednesday.  Sure was pleased to see the UPS truck pull up today, Friday, only 2 days later! Thanks much! - Pat H., Bend, Oregon
  • I love it! I bookmarked it and will return when ever I get the chance. - Dan W., SoCal
  • I wish to thank you for the good service and the prompt delivery in handling my order.

I look forward to ordering from you in the future. - Truly satisfied, Jerome M.

  • I want to tell you that I appreciate the articles that you have on your site.   Having read Dr. Lee's book a few years ago it was a nice reminder of the importance of progesterone.  The article on pregnenolone was one that I had to print.   Thank you, your site has been bookmarked and now I have some information on colostrum that my daughter had been wondering about.  Your prices seem to be very competitive also. - Thanks, Mary M., Michigan
