Usage and Results
While we strive to offer products that are of the highest quality and backed by expert recommendations, we cannot be held responsible for the results, effects, or side effects of any product. Customers are encouraged to follow up with the manufacturer directly regarding product use and outcomes. Consequently, we do not accept returns or provide refunds based on dissatisfaction with product performance or results.
Shipping and Return Fees
- If an error occurs on the part of Vitamin Egypt, we will cover all related shipping costs, including the return shipping fee and refund processing fees.
- If the return is initiated at the customer’s discretion, without fault on our part, the customer will be responsible for all associated shipping, return, and refund processing costs.
Suspected Product Authenticity
In the rare event that there is a concern regarding the authenticity of a product, we will not immediately accept the return. Instead, we will engage directly with the manufacturer to verify the product’s authenticity. If the product is determined to be counterfeit, the customer will be compensated with an amount equal to five times the product’s purchase price. This policy ensures the highest level of authenticity and confidence in the products we offer.
