1. Is Shipping Really Free?

Yes, we include the cost of shipping with all orders! Remember to take this into account when comparing prices. For more details on shipping costs, please contact us directly.

We may also be able to ship to the countries and territories that we don’t list, but in that case you need to contact customer support so that we can check separately if shipping is possible and what the additional price is.

Please note that since we ship from Asia, such as China, our shipping times may a bit longer than for local shipments. See our shipping terms for more information.

*) Yes, it’s free for you, because we pay for it.

2. Don’t You Just Use Dropshipping?

No, we don’t. Firstly, because very few of the products we have are available on any market platforms. Secondly, when any supplement is available, quality is nearly always really poor, inconsistent, or counterfeit.

We source and stock products in our own warehouse. This also means we have in-depth sourcing skills of the Chinese food supplements market that has been gathered over many years. We know how to avoid the sourcing quality problems that are so typical in China.

We also both test products in our own lab and send in products to third party labs.

3. Then Do You Also Do Sourcing for Companies?

Yes, we do. Companies often ask us to source supplements in China and we regularly do this. This is aside from supplying our standard products to companies.

4. Why Doesn’t the Credit Card Payment Button Work?

Please register first your user name and your address, then after you are logged in, place the order. The Stripe payment button for credit card (or iDeal) payments should now work fine.

5. Why is My Product Cart Page Empty?

The cart update page can be slow. This means when you press View Cart or Checkout, a new page opens saying “Your Cart Is Empty”. Just wait about 10-25 seconds on the page and your cart will update automatically with your chosen items. After this you can fill in your contact details and complete the purchase using various forms of payment, such as credit or debit by Stripe or PayPal.

6. Why Does the Final Price Suddenly Increase? The Answer is Prepaid VAT / Taxes

On July 1, 2021, new VAT taxes came into effect in the countries within the European Union for shipments from outside the EU. From no on, customers need to pay the VAT in advance for your country when ordering at VitaMondo if the order has a value below 150 €. The specific VAT rate depends on your country, but it is usually between 18% and 25%. The VAT that you pay for is directed to the customs of your country. If the order is above 150 €, your customs will decide the import tax and VAT upon arrival. Companies can order without VAT if they contact us before ordering.

We also collect the sales- and state taxes for the USA, which are usually between 5% and 10%. Similarly we collect VAT / GST taxes in advance from customers in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey.

7. Do We Provide Any Buyer Protection?

Yes, we do! Our Buyer Protection guarantees that you as a buyer can shop reliably at VitaMondo. Please see our shipping terms for more information.

If the item you ordered does not arrive within 75 days from your order, we will refund you or ship another item for free. Just inform us within 15 days after the 75 days has passed.

Note that shipping is usually 12 to 24 days, but sometimes it takes longer.

Please let us know if you did not receive the item you ordered, another product altogether, or if the product quality was below specification.

8. Where Can You Find More Information on Dietary Supplements?

For example on WebMD, Healthline, and Mayo Clinic, where you can get acquainted with benefits, but also any adverse effects. We also have a blog page with some supplement information.

It goes without saying that bloggers that are sponsored by any competitor tend to be the least reliable sources.

9. What If I Cannot Register or Make a Purchase?

Because of the large amount of spam email from certain internet service providers, we have had to block the IPs used for instance by Colocrossing. Please use another ISP if you are interesting in making a purchase. We also automatically block the IP addresses of hackers. In rare instances potential customers have been blocked for invalid reasons. Please contact us in case you cannot login after repeated attempts.

It is common that customers used another email address when registering that the one they try to login in with. Please check which email address you used when registering or during your purchase.

You can also complete your purchase at our sister site https://vitamondo.eu/. We have a few additional products at the new site, such as NMN (nicotinamide nucleotide), Tongkat Ali, Artemisia Annua, and Cistanche Deserticola products.

10. How Do I Search Products?

You can search for products by entering the product name or keyword into the Search Bar at the top of any page. Try to enter a general description. The more keywords you use, the less products you will get in the results page. When you find a product you’re interested in, simply click the product name or the product image for more details.

11. What If I Want to Cancel or Return an Item?

Please see our returns policy. You may cancel an order up until the parcel has been shipped, which usually means before you have received a tracking number. (In rare instances a product may have been shipped, even if you are still waiting for the shipping message.) We do charge a small cancellation fee to cover the fees that the payment processors charge even on refunds.

You can also return an item after it has been shipped to you, but in this case need to pay for the return shipment to us and needs to be unopened. Please contact us first in for returns to receive the address.

12. Which Types of Payment Do We Accept?

Since the launch, we have offered a broad range of payment methods, such as direct payments by Credit Cards and Debit Cards such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Debit Cards, and PayPal.

Stripe allows payments by Echeck, GiroPay, Klarna, Apple Pay, SOFORT, Multibanco, EPS, iDEAL, P24, etc. However, we hope to have these payment providers back soon.

For direct payment by credit- and debit cards we use Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), which is new stronger encryption standard from 2019, which provides an extra security layer for our customers.

Note that on our sister site https://vitamondo.eu/ we have even more payment options available.

In some countries, the above payment solutions are unavailable to our customers. To solve this we also accept money transfers by Western Union and other providers. Please be in contact with us directly if you would like to pay by a money transfer.

13. What Happened to NMN (Beta Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)?

Google decided it is against their policy to have ads for NMN. (Although, arguably it is quite poorly monitored and observed by Google.)  This followed a decision by the FDA in USA in December 2022 that NMN for now is classified as a medicine.

Note that the decision by FDA is not due to any side-effects with taking NMN, as these are minimal and comparable to other water soluble B-vitamins.

For the time being, NMN may be available on our sister shop https://vitamondo.eu/. Note that you need register a new user name on the vitamondo.eu site.

14. No Response to Your Email?

The best way to reach us is to send a message by chat, that you can find on the bottom right on any page that says “Send message”. As email servers get more effective at filtering out spam, they sometimes filter out valid emails or pass them to the spam folder. If you don’t receive any response in 4 days, the reason is probably that we never received your email. The vast majority of all emails still reach us. If you’re unsure if a message reached us, please send a chat message.

15. Do you Support Deliveries to my Country in Asia, in Africa, or in Latin America?

Yes, with some caveats. There are about 50 countries for which we support orders, and guarantee the order internationally, but not after it reaches the country. Thus, before shipping we need to get your acceptance that there is at least a small risk that your order may be lost after it reaches your country. The reasons for any potential loss vary, but it usually due to a loss at customs, expensive customs fees, or a loss during local delivery. Or because we are less familiar with orders from the country.

Countries part of this group in Asia include India, Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, etc.

Countries in Latin America include Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Costa Rica, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, etc.

Countries in Africa include South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Gambia, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, etc.

Of course, many people order it to another country and have a friend or a service forwarding it to the above country.

16. Can I Place an Order to the Island or Protectorate where I Live?

There are some locations that are unavailable due to no shipping routes or that are much more expensive. This group include many Islands located in the Caribbean, in the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic. Even when it is possible for us to ship, we may require that you accept there is a small risk of loss (see 13).

Of course, many people order it to another country and have a friend or a service forwarding it to the above country.

*There is no problem shipping to Hawaii, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Malta, Cyprus, or Iceland.
