      I placed an order last week on vitacost website.I was charged for the order the same day.Today after not getting any shipping updates I contacted vitacost and was told that the order was canceled.**** did not even bother to contact me.Explanation was its out of stock but their website is still showing as in stock and available for purchase.However they did charge me for this order and have not refunded it.Not sure what kind of a scam they are running here but I thought Vitacost that you are/were honest business. Vitacost representative ******* disconnected the chat when i started asking questions but i did receive chat log.I want my money back asap.

      Crappy customer service. I spent a good deal of time putting together an order but then needed to know what shipping method they would use. I contacted their chat twice and read through their shipping policy which is vague. The chat representatives were NOT helpful. I have the package weight, the order total and my zip but you dont have a clue if your shipping **** or ****** I have a P.O. Box I had to reluctantly use for the shipping but Ill never order from vitacost again! No way to email them and their chat reps are useless robots! I hate **** and wanted it shipped ***** but depending on the shipper is what determines what address I use since I live off grid. Next time Ill go to IHERB they use *** up here.
