I had a bit of a frustrating experience with Bulk Supplements recently. Here's the scoop: I placed an order because they advertised free shipping for orders over Au$130, and they even had a handy bar on their website that showed how close you were to hitting that threshold. I thought I was good to go and stopped adding items to my cart as soon as the free shipping bar disappeared. However, when I received my order confirmation, I was surprised to see that I had been charged for shipping.
Naturally, I reached out to Bulk Supplements right away, explaining the situation. Their response left me scratching my head - they said I was just 30 cents short of the $130 mark, which is why I got hit with the shipping fee. It felt like a bit of a letdown.
I then tried to cancel my order, but they claimed it was already on its way. However, that didn't add up because two days later, I received an email saying my order was being prepared, and it took another three days before I got my shipping details. So, the communication seemed a bit off.
To make matters worse, I had a pretty unpleasant experience with their Niacin Tablets. They caused extreme skin flushes and a weird skin-crawling sensation. I thought maybe I was allergic, but two other people had similar reactions. When I contacted Bulk Supplements about this, they said I could return the product to the US, but the shipping cost would set me back a whopping $100. Ouch!
Lastly, it's hard not to notice that Bulk Supplements seems to have borrowed heavily from the color scheme, name, and logo of the Australian company Bulk Nutrition. It feels a bit too similar for comfort.
All in all, my experience with Bulk Supplements wasn't great, and it's not a company I'll be ordering from again anytime soon. Just something to keep in mind if you're considering doing business with them.
