Non-Conformance Issue Guide

Non-Conformance Issue Guide

Overview

To help us resolve any order issues as quickly as possible, please review the guide below and provide the requested details when contacting our support team. Submitting complete information upfront allows us to expedite replacements, reships, or investigations.


Product Types

All products and bottles are received pre-sealed directly from our manufacturers and suppliers. Sealing methods vary by product type. We currently support three primary product categories:

1. Tub / Powder Products
Examples: Mushroom powder, sports powder, pre-workout, BCAA, creatine

  • These use heat seals under the lid (not plastic shrink wrap)

2. Dropper Bottles
Examples: B12 drops, hair & beard oil, vitamin C serum

  • May be plastic or glass bottles with droppers

    • These use plastic shrink wrap on the outside of the lid.

3. Capsule Bottles

  • Typically include shrink wrap and inner tamper seals
