Review of Vegetology


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Item not received, dishonest customer service

I really wanted to like this business as it's very difficult to find multivitamins that are specifically targeting the needs of vegans and their products seemed perfect for me. I placed my order in November based on the indication that deliveries to the rest of the world would take "usually 7-14 working days" and that delivery would be tracked.

16 working days after the order was placed, I haven't received the products and we have no idea where the parcel is. It turns out that the delivery partner only issues tracking updates once a week (at best) and that these updates are completely vague. For the first 11 days, the item has simply been stuck in a sorting centre in the NL and didn't move, so honestly claiming that it takes 7-14 days is simply delusional. Since 8/11 no updates, we don't even know if the parcel has finally left the NL.

I tried contacting the customer service several times but their replies were quite weird. Firstly, they quite dishonesly tried to say that deliveries to the rest of the world take "minimum 7-14 days" which was simply false and then said that they can't do anything to help. The only thing they offered to do was to check the same tracking link I already have and send me pointless emails from time to time. How is this supposed to help in any way?

If you sell important supplements - like pregnancy multivitamins - you have to take delivery seriously. You simply can't leave pregnant women without supplements for weeks and do nothing to rectify or help.

I really feel I was cheated by this company and only lost money and precious time.

It's sad that in their reply they shamelessly insist that they promised a delivery in minimum 7-14 days, luckily I have screenshots showing their lie. And it's astonishing that they aren't offering to do anything, just checking the tracking link. Stay away, I was really scammed. This is gaslighting.

(Message to vegetology: please don't reply to this review asking me to send an email to the customer service - I've already told you that they refuse to help or offer any solution. How about you just escalate to someone more constructive?)

Hi Vittoria,
I'm really sorry to hear that your order hasn't reached you yet! We shipped your order the same day that you placed it. We do advise customers on our website that international orders take a minimum 7-14 days however during busy times, like the Black Friday period, orders can take longer to arrive. This is unfortunately out of our hands as we have no control over couriers and customs. We understand how frustrating this can be and we are sorry that your order hasn't arrived. I know one of the team has been in touch with you and is keeping a close eye on this for you. I can see that your parcel has left the Netherlands so we are hoping it will reach you this week.
Best wishes,
Customer Service Team
