A once fantastic company but service has gone to hell in a handbaskett A once fantastic company that would have orders on my doorstep within 3 days. Now my last order was shipped 4 days after ordering and then to the wrong place! I have been using them for over 5 years. If they don't get this recent blunder fixed I just might be done.

Beware of their 15-20% discount codes I have noticed that when they showcase a code that will give you 15-20% off - they actually hike up the prices and then offer the discount - so you're not really getting any discount. I checked the prices with Amazon and a lot of times Amazon is cheaper! So just something to beware of. You're not always getting a discount!

Update to review-Vitacost responded Update 3-20: I did find an email address for Vitacost customer service and sent an email outlining my experience. They did respond and offered me a new code for 20% off, which worked. I have updated my rating to 4 stars since overall I have been pleased with Vitacost. However, their live customer service help still receives 1 star. I have purchased from Vitacost long before Kroger bought the company and loved them. Since Kroger took over, I've had issues with orders and some product breakage during shipping. That I can live with. But I received a promotional email for a 20 percent off my order, spent time on their site shopping, put in the code they provided, and received a message saying it had been used already. I hadn't used it. I called customer service, and they were no help at all (and customer service is now outsourced overseas, it wasn't pre-Kroger). I said I can forward the email, she said she doesn't have access to email (really?), she couldn't give me the 20% off, would not transfer me to someone else, just said I'd have to place the order, then call back to talk to them and get 20% refunded to my payment account. Do you think I trust that? Plus I'd have to waste more of my time on the phone. I said no.

Bravo! I once purchased from Vitacost often, but stopped because of deteriorating service. However, I recently placed three orders, with excellent results. I had suggested to them for years that they ship factory cases of products when possible. In the two orders that I received today, they did exactly that! As a result, there were *no* broken glass bottles in either box. This change in the way they fulfill orders lowers their costs for a quite number of reasons, which ultimately benefit customers. It also enhances the shopping experience tremendously! Everything about doing business with Vitacost now produces superb results. Bravo, Vitacost! Bravo!

My happy home pantry… Ease of finding what my home pantry needed. Barney Almond Butter, Doc Bronner's peppermint liquid soap, lavender and sage spray, vinegar. Oh - and the inside wrapping was done to perfection. No leaks and well done! Thank you.
