How returns work

You must contact Vitabiotics Customer Services at [email protected] to request a freepost return address for UK orders. International orders do not qualify for free return postage. Once you have the address, wrap your item securely in its original packaging or a suitable box along with all accompanying documentation, then mail it back. You will receive an email notification when your refund has been processed.

Exclusions and restrictions

Items that have been opened do not qualify for return unless they are faulty or damaged. Additionally, the retailer states that damaged items may not be accepted upon return. However, faulty items are subject to different terms and may be eligible for refund or replacement depending on when the fault is discovered.

Refunds

Refunds are processed after Vitabiotics receives and reviews your return. You will be notified by email when the refund has been processed. For standard returns, you have 14 days from purchase. For damaged or faulty items, refunds are available up to 30 days after purchase.
