Processing Time & Freshness Policy:

National Supplement Center takes 24-48 hours to process an order before it is shipped. Because of our Freshness Policy some orders may take a little longer. If you choose an expedited shipping method, it will not speed up the time it takes to process an order - it will only speed up the time-in-transit.

For flat rate shipping, we ship via USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground - we choose the shipping method based on the weight of the package. Packages weighing up to 3 lbs. ship by way of USPS Priority Mail. Packages that are 3 lbs. and over ship UPS Ground.

For shipping by specific carrier, we offer USPS Priority Mail and UPS Ground as separate choices in check out. For example, customers shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, U.S. Territories, or a PO box need to choose USPS Priority Mail. Customer who do not have a valid mail receptacle at their location would choose UPS Ground. Rates for both of these methods are based on USPS and UPS rates.

Processing Time & Freshness Policy:

Please remember that it usually takes National Supplement Center 24-48 hours to process an order before it is shipped. Because of our Freshness Policy some orders may take a little longer. If you choose an expedited shipping method, it will not speed up the time it takes to process an order - it will only speed up the time-in-transit.

We realize that the option for expedited shipping is especially important during the holidays and when dealing with time-sensitive health concerns. Next Day Air Saver and Second Day Air are the expedited methods we have available for you and can be chosen from the drop down menu.

• Expedited shipping is by UPS only.
• The cost is determined by the weight and destination of your shipment.
• Expedited shipping is not available for P.O. box or international addresses.

With the exception of some lines, most orders take between 24-48 hours to process and ship out within 1-3 business days from ordering. Expedited shipping will not speed up this processing time, only the time-in-transit. Of course, if your items are on hand when you place your expedited order, we will push to get your products out as soon as we process your order. We will inform you by way of e-mail soon after you order when you can expect your items to ship.

You may indicate a preference for one of our two carrier choices by including it in your shipping address and highlighting it with asterisks, or by contacting customer service at 1-800-369-1039 or questions@nationalsupplementcenter.com.

We know that a package "bouncing back" to us can be one of the most frustrating experiences for our customers when ordering online. If a shipping address is incomplete, or is inappropriate to the carrier that you have requested, your package will be returned to us. To help prevent this from happening, we have provided some useful information so you can make sure your address is complete and appropriate to one of the shipping carriers we offer. Some common ways that an address would be incomplete or inappropriate for the carrier are listed below.

Incomplete address:

• Package is shipping to a business or private company and address as entered did not include building name.
• Apartment, building, or suite number was not included in address.

• Package was requested to ship by way of USPS and there is no mail receptacle at shipping location.
• Package was requested to ship by way of UPS to a P.O. box address.

• Copy down your shipment's USPS tracking number, which begins with "9101".
• Go to USPS Post Office Locator by typing www.USPS.com in your search window and once you are there, click "Locate a Post Office".
• Enter your shipping address in the provided fields.
• Click "Search" button. Results are listed in order distance in miles from your shipping location. If the local office number is not listed under "Phone", but instead has "1-800-ASK-USPS", click "more info" and the page that comes up should contain the local office number.
• Have your tracking number ready to give to the USPS employee when you call.

• Copy down your shipment's UPS tracking number, which begins with "1ZX5X".
• Go directly to UPS Service Locator and enter your shipping address in the provided fields. Results are listed in order of distance in miles from your shipping location.

We use UPS for their excellent tracking functionality, competitive delivery times and customer service follow-up. USPS priority is often less expensive, but does not currently offer the tracking and follow-up to meet our standards of customer service. When our customers access the tracking information through UPS and are assured that their shipments are guided to their destination at every step of the way, they are more likely to choose our international service again and again.
