    GNC's Return Policy

    Not sure where to post it so i figured i'd post it here.

    I know GNC has a 30 day guarantee - but with tubs of stuff (i.e. protein), do you know if there can only be a certain amount gone?

    Thanks, bryan

    Oh yeah that policy. Last time I checked it was the GNC **** You Guarantee! Its the one where you get no money back, and maybe, just maybe, they will take a little extra from you.

    Cause i had to (as an emergency) get some protein from them, the other place I go to had problems with suppliers. But the stuff tastes like ass, so i want to return it. I'm gonna give her a try tomorrow.

    you can go for it! But once the seal is broken, it seems like GNC, being the stiff's they are, wont buy into it. But...


    GOOD LUCK!

    Usually its at the employees discretion where I live. They are supposed to take it back even if its used. But I mean you have to think about it logically, if you use 95% of the shit and return it saying it tasted horrible well then any normal person (GNC or not) is gonna say why the f*ck did you use 95% of it if it tasted so bad.

    in a fix, you're better off going to a vitamin world if ones near you. they're cheaper, though not nearly as good as these online stores. i'm personally done with gnc. i have another thread, i believe in the supplement forums, that explains why. basically their line of products are very low quality, and i found that out after trying another companies. the only thing you'll see me walk into a gnc store for now is to flip off the owners.

    The VitaminShoppe by my house says it will only accept unused or unopened containers. But the GNC will take back anything in 30 days, even if its empty. There was this old lady there last time I went in for protein who brought back an empty calcium container, some herbal crap, and some squeeze bottle of something, and they took it back! I was shocked! Wish I had known that before I struggled through the last protein I got there...YUCK!

    i think under certain circumstances, you should be able to bring back a near empty container, though i think completely empty is asking a little much.

    for example, if you bought a fat-burner that didn't do anything (which many on the market nowadays don't), i certainly think you should be able to bring it back. after all, how are you going to know it doesn't work if you don't try it?

    also, many of the new hyped-up supplements are also worthless. remember when "vanadyl sulfate" was supposed to be the newest, greatest supplement like 8 years ago, all to be tossed away after studies were done on it that WEREN'T funded by the companies selling it that showed it did little to nothing? how about when "DHEA" was supposed to be this amazing natural test booster for people of all ages? i think for new supplements, if the stores aren't willing to back it up with money-back satisfaction, they shouldn't have it on their shelves! to not do so is basically them admitting a lot of it won't work!

    as far as vitaminshoppe, sorry to hear about that. never been to one actually, as there are hardly any around. seems like wherever you can find a gnc though, there's always a vitamin world around somewhere as well. again though, i'd stick with buying online as i just started doing it recently and am saving lots of money and am very satisfied.

    Hey BCAP Did you have to bring back the receipt?

    I also had a similar prob but thru away the receipt and went to the store near my job where they basically told be to beat it fo all non GNC prods without a receipt but she didnt say anything about the GNC brand.

    Do I need to bring the receipt?
