Just wanted to say, before you buy anything, check out whether it's available on ebay as often the same products are available at lower prices.

I've bought so much on ebay at such great prices. And strangely enough, I seem to get better service and delivery from the ebayers than from standard websites .... maybe it's because people can leave positive or negative feedback.

A lot of the Garden of Life products are available at good prices - like Primal Defence etc..

also, if you are non US based, still check out ebay.com since I often just send a message to American ebayers (eventhough it may say on their ebay listing that they send to US only) and ask them to quote postage for UK ... and I haven't had anyone say no. And US prices are way cheaper than UK ones (even with extra postage costs) ... plus you never get to pay import taxes because

Also, US ebayers (and possibly Americans generally) are great at service and response! UK customer support has a lot to learn!

Right on!! I always check ebay before I make a final purchase. Amazon also has some great deals too (Vitamin Shoppe). I like the bidding too...it's kind of a rush sometimes. It can be disappointing though when you don't win...esp. when its two bottles of OmegaZyme for $8.00!!!!

Yeah-- but you have to be careful too though. Sometimes you can get nailed with a product that is expired. The worst is when the seller doesnt offer insurance and the product get's lost or damaged nothing you can do. Just a few things you might want to double check before you buy the products.

I always go with ebayers who have 99.5% and up ratings. That's a great sign. Also, I tend to email first and discuss with them and only buy if they have good response time. I haven't had a problem so far and have bought loads of stuff.

I'm in the UK, but I have found that American ebayers are the best! They seem to really understand customer care.
