Pricing:
Q: Is the price online the same as in-store?
A: The website takes its prices directly from the store, but there are exceptions for some brands that prohibit or limit internet discounts. Metagenics is one brand that prohibits online discounts, so you must place your Metagenics order by phone if you want to redeem any special offer for these products. Also, sale pricing can vary between the web and the store. All advertised sales will specify the details.
Q: What happens if the online price is wrong?
A: We make every effort to prevent data errors, but if the online price is incorrect, we will correct the price and send an email to the address you used to place your order before shipping the price-adjusted order. Please respond within one day if you wish to cancel or change your order before your order is shipped. If you suspect there is a pricing error, please contact us so that we can confirm the correct price.
