We ship most orders within 1 business day.

Domestic orders are shipped by UPS Ground in most cases. For destinations within the 48 contiguous United States which can be sent by UPS Ground service, there is a $4.95 shipping charge for the entire order. For an estimate of the number of days it takes to deliver your package in the contiguous 48 states via UPS from our warehouse in Albany, check this map.
- Other shipping methods are available such as UPS or FedEx Next-Day, Two-Day or Three-Day delivery and USPS Priority Mail. Shipping charges for these methods are based on the weight and destination. Simply enter your order online and you will be presented with all shipping options and charges.
- UPS and FedEx do not deliver on weekends or holidays. Do not include these days when estimating your expected delivery date.
- Orders placed on weekdays prior to 12:00 noon EST (9:00 AM PST) will usually go out the same day provided there are no issues processing your payment.
- UPS and FedEx do not deliver to P.O. boxes so you must either list a valid street address with your order OR choose USPS Priority Mail for P.O. Box delivery.
- We do NOT request or require a signature for any deliveries; however, it is solely up to your delivery person's discretion whether or not to leave the package without a signature. This also applies to any special shipping instructions that you have asked us to include on your shipping label.
- You can save even more money if you own a gym or retail store or just want to combine your order with family, friends or a group! Take an additional 5% off on orders over $200! These discounts are in addition to our regular deep discounted prices, special sale and clearance items! Our online ordering process will automatically deduct the 5% when your total order is over $200.
- For destinations in Alaska, Hawaii, and APO/FPO locations, you pay shipping charges based on the weight of the package (minimum of $4.95). Packages to these destinations are shipped via the US Postal Service's Priority Mail. Enter your order into our online ordering process and it will compute the shipping charge.
- For military locations (APO/FPO), in addition to the delivery time that it takes us to get it to the APO or FPO (two or three days), you will have to wait on the military then delivering the package to you. This could be days or weeks. We cannot help speed up this process. Sorry. When indicating your shipping address, "APO" or "FPO" will be your "City"; "AA", "AE" or "AP" will be your "State" and your ZIP Code will begin with either 09, 34 or 96. Leave the "Country" as United States. You will be presented with your Priority Mail shipping charge when you Checkout or check your shopping cart.
- We will charge you a $11 fee for shipments that are either re-routed after leaving our warehouse or are incorrectly addressed due to customer's error. Shipping labels are generated directly from the shipping information you have entered. If you provide us an incorrect zip code or other addressing error e.g. incorrect or missing apartment number, you will be charged the $11 fee since the shipping company will charge us a fee for this correction.

International Shipping Information
|
|
For shipments to all other countries, the following rules and restrictions apply:
- Do not order items that are illegal to import into your country.
Laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all.
It is your responsibility to check with your Customs office to
see if your country permits the shipment of our products to your country.
-
If the package is seized by Customs for any reason and we do not receive the
package back, we will not issue you a refund.
If we do receive the package back after being seized and the products are in perfect condition,
we will credit you the product cost, but you are still responsible for the shipping charges.
- Prepayment is required. Payment must be by credit card, US or International Money Order, or personal check
drawn on a US bank.
- You pay shipping charges based on the weight of the package and the destination.
The $4.95 standard shipping charge does not apply to international orders.
Shipping by air to most other countries
can be very expensive. Shipping charges alone are sometimes 50% to 100% of
the total cost of the products. Obviously, small bottles are cheaper to ship than
heavy nutrition bars and protein powders. As you add items to the shopping cart, you will
be presented with the shipping options and charges.
Important: If you write to us or order from us, but do not receive a reply back from us,
then there is most likely some
problem with your email address. We have received many email messages
that we reply to, but - for whatever reason - the message can not make it through.
We have no other way
way to contact you, so please make sure your email delivery is working
properly and that you have given us a correct email address before complaining that
we are not replying. In any case where you do not hear back from us, please
call us at 1-518-464-0765.
- You can add items to your shopping cart which displays the total
and you can see the shipping charges prior to sending the order to us.
We reserve the right to insure the package. You will not
incur an additional charge for insurance above what is presented through the online
ordering process. We believe our online order form to be accurate in computing shipping charges,
but we will not be held responsible for errors in the shipping charge calculation. If we
find it to be incorrect after receiving your order, we reserve the right to correct
the charge and inform you by email.
- Please allow 2 weeks for delivery by International Airmail.
IMPORTANT: This does not include any time that your
country's Customs office may hold the package which happens frequently.
If you have not received your package after the allowed period,
check with your Customs office (if possible) to track it down.
There is nothing we can do to speed up this process. You can choose
to have your order shipped by Federal Express International Priority
or UPS Worldwide Saver service for
faster delivery (two or three days) if you would like. This shipping charge,
if available for your destination, will be displayed when you view your shopping cart contents.
- If you choose UPS Worldwide Saver or Federal
Express International Priority shipping service, you will be emailed a
URL that can be used to track your shipment.
- For orders weighing 50 lbs. or more, FedEx International Economy is available.
- You are responsible for any duties or taxes that may apply.
We do not collect any duties or taxes from you and do not know how
much they will cost you. Check with your own country.
We report the exact amount of the sale on the Customs form. Please
do not ask us to claim less than the actual sale amount.
- For a description of the package contents on the Customs form,
we claim "Food supplements - for personal use only".
Please do not ask us to claim a "gift" or other incorrect description.
- Some countries allow for importation of otherwise disallowed
products "for personal use only", but not for resale. Check with your
Customs office.
- All prices are listed in US currency. If you want to determine
how much that is equivalent to in your country's currency, you can
use our Currency Converter.
- We reserve the right to decline an order for any reason.
