Vitamin World

I didn’t have any issues with pushiness, but I did have some issues with the supplements I was given. The first time was totally my fault – I bought a supplement without looking at the label and got home to realize it had dairy in it. Went back the next to return it and talked with the salesperson behind the counter who was very nice, apologized, and found me a new supplement without dairy in it. He read the label for a about a minute, said it was dairy-​free and I was on my way.
Now maybe this my fault again for trusting and not verifying, but when I got home and went to take the supplement that night, I saw under the ingredients «CONTAINS DAIRY.» Pretty disappointing since he checked it for me and told me it was dairy-​free. I don’t have an allergy, but I feel like if a customer says they want a supplement without a specific ingredient, that’s something that should be taken pretty seriously.
Went back a few days later to return it, and the woman behind the counter took about 20+ minutes to do the return. All in all, not a great series of events with Vitamin World. Probably won’t come back, their selection isn’t great if you’re looking for food based vitamins/​supplements and their prices aren’t exactly competitive.

I have nothing against their products, but I find the sales staff to be a bit too pushy. I only come in to buy things when they are on sale (I think their regular prices are quite high). However, I can never seem to just quickly drop in, buy my sale item and leave. No, a sales person always has to talk to me about some other product, or why the version of whatever I am purchasing is not as good as the others that aren’t on sale, or how I should consider adding xyz supplement to what I am already taking. So, all in all, worth it for the sales, but otherwise, save yourself some time and money and buy your vitamins and supplements on-​line.

The staff is extremely knowledgable and helpful but just a bit off-​putting. I haven’t taken vitamins since I was a kid but decided it was about time I become healthy again. He headed me and my friend in the right direction to help our very different problems and we both left with a couple of new vitamins that have worked wonders.
