Placed my order March 16, March 18 they created a shipping label and nothing has happened since. Emailed them they lied order was shipped. Disputed the charge. Stay away from those scammers.
I PLACED AN ORDER ON MARCH 8,2020 AND PAID $16.70 FOR (GUARANTEED DELIVERY OF MARCH 12TH. I RECEIVED MY ITEM ON MARCH 25TH, BASICALLY TWO WEEKS LATER THAN PROMISED. I NEEDED THE ITEM BY MARCH 17TH AND THAT IS THE REASON I WAS WILLING TO PAY NEARLY 17.00 FOR SHIPPING. TOTAL FRAUDULANT SHIPPING INFORMATION AND I INTEND TO CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. I BELIEVE THIS COMPANY IS SCAMMING CUSTOMERS TO MAKE ADDITIONAL MONIES ON SHIPPING. WOULD NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN.
Good news! My order did finally arrive! I ordered the gel sanitizer. I think that this company can resolve a lot of confusion if they would just explain their shipping procedures on the web site. Simply saying that there is a 10 day process is not enough. I placed my order on 3/9, I get a email on 3/19 that my order has shipped with a tracking number, UPS did not receive my package from vendor until 3/24. The problem is with the time that it takes for UPS to get the package.
I was leary of previous reviews but needed hand sanitizer since its not available in stores where I live. I ordered the 1 gallon hand sanitizer and they said 10 days for shipping, it was 11, so not that bad. Recieved order and its good. All around pleased at price, shipping and quality. Would buy again.
We desperately need hand sanitizer for our business. We ordered from Bulk Apothecary. The hit the mark. The price was high (very high), but they did deliver what they promised within a day or two of the promised shipping date. During the Corona Emergency, that's pretty darn good. I would say that Bulk Apothecary definitely delivered when we really needed it done.
Not sure the quality. I still dont have it :( The website said 7-10 days because they are busy. Its not until after you pay, you get an email days later sorry this could take a while. Also no refunds. Sales are final!
Ordered my sanitizer they claim to have in stock on the 9th. It still has not shipped. They said 10 days now 12 or more. It is ridiculous. I ordered from them b/c they were the only people to have it in stock. I honestly don't think they have any. They state no refunds. COVID-19 will be over before I get it. I will not order from them again.
Customer service isn't great. I've had damaged items show up and I wanted a refund. Never heard a response or or got even a partial refund (4 out of 5 bottles had spilled and were empty). When I look to place other orders, usually half my items are out of stock. Most recently, shipping out has gone way longer than what they said. I understand they have more work load, but don't offer products then if you cannot get them out when you say. I was told it would be 10 days until my order could be filled. Then it jumped to 12. Now it's been 14 and it still has not shipped. I would have ordered elsewhere if I'd have been given a more honest estimate. They won't refund me though, so now I'm stuck waiting who knows how long.
If you are debating whether to order from this company, I beg of you not to do so. Please please please pay attention to all the reviews from customers and from Employees. I placed an order and the money was taken but I have not received the product. Their phone number does not work and They do not respond back to emails. They literally scammed me out of my money. I am not angry because I have resources and my finances are good but for those potential customers who cannot afford to lose their money, please do not order from this company no matter how good they website may seem. Buyer beware, shopper beware! Stay away from this company!
I ordered product from this company for non-profit organization for children. The product has not arrived, there is no way to verify shipping, no way to check on it, no one answers their phone and it appears they either have no customer service, corporate morals or are just a scam;
Ordered hand sanitizer that they claimed they had on hand, slightly longer shipping times.
Bulk Apothecary sold all their hand sanitizer to big retail companies by the barrel to make the big money on this pandemic while screwing the people that had already ordered smaller quantities. The BS on their sight about big retail coming in and scooping it all up to be sold at higher rates unapproved by Bulk Apothecary is just that, a 40' container full of barrel BS! Says my item shipped 2 days ago. Another lie from Bulk Apothecary. Label created and nothing more for 2 days.
This company is acting irresponsibly with my money ($78), endangering lives, and taking advantage of a pandemic to make big money by screwing the individuals. Shame on them for their practices and their lies.
Update: I DID finally receive my shipment. Apparently they are overwhelmed and just cut-off communication. Sorry for the bad review. These are just terrible times.
I ordered bulk hand sanitizer for business at a whopping $50 per gallon. Email states shipped, but tracking does not work. Neither does their phone. Scam?
Allegedly my products were "delivered" They're refusing to reship! They definitely lost a customer!
Should have read the review before I placed my order. My order has been place over a month now and I haven't recieved a thing not even a tracking number. Every time I called they transfer my call to leave a voice mail. They charge almost $10 shipping fees to a items that can be ship using $1.50 stamp. Don't order from them
They claim to treat customers the way they would want to be treated, yet I cannot return anything I've used only once. Satisfaction not guaranteed, since I can't tell if I like it or not unless I open it. Once it's opened, it's yours. Their prices are low for a reason; their product is much weaker than the top of the line brands. Going back to those other brands, never doing business here again. Total waste of my money. Thanks a lot Bulk Hypocrites!
I've thrown away all my Bulk Apothecary essential oils. They smell bad compared to other essential oils you buy from Doterra, Plant Theraphy, Young Living, Rocky Mountain or Now Foods. You will get rip off by this company.
DON'T BUY FROM THEM!
I bought 1 lb rhassoul clay lately from them, it is not authentic, it is random clay, it is total scam.
This company will sell you merchandise, then when you go to sell it after preparing your product ( they might have done your labels), they will compete directly against you!
Good thing I didnt buy my main product from them!
Just as title states, they sent my order to the wrong address and I cannot get English speaking customer service. I'm asking for my order and begging for help but they just keep linking me the same tracking number..
They are my go to store and have been almost since they began business... love their products that I have purchased, they always come well packaged and shipped, and the Essential Oils I have ordered and use daily are awesome! So much better than those one oz size bottles from other sources... and priced soooo much better... If I'm looking to buy something I always research and compare prices and always end up ordering from Bulk Apothecary... truly one of my favorite go to's
Answer: Because ripe people taste much better than unripened people.
Answer: Yes, Their Customer Service people, and the Managers are rude to customers. I also experience severely delayed shipments.
Answer: They are constantly changing the shipping date for items allegedly in stock. Total bs that it takes 3 weeks to put items in a box and ship. No delay in charging my credit card though Totaly misrepresented and possibly a fraud
Answer: Yes, they received nothing and their wallet shrunk.
Answer: Yes! Bulk Apothecary is just a repackager. You can order directly from all of their suppliers
Answer: If you buy their oils from their supplier (New Directions Aromatics or Lebermuth) you'll get them cheaper and purer
