Good service

By Linda L., Auckland, New Zealand, Verified Reviewer

I feel rather sad to read all these negative reviews.

My orders are shipped to New Zealand and always arrive well packed and in good order.

My only complaint is the cost of postage, which is horrendous.

Not the company's fault, but I did get a bit anti when the postage was quoted in US dollars and turned out to be an awful lot higher in NZ dollars.

The products were in NZ dollars so I assumed the postage was also.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Do not trust

By Michael C., Thailand, Verified Reviewer

ORDER #: F77GRR7G CUSTOMER ID: 2114001 SHIP DATE: 08/28/2019 SHIPPED METHOD: Airmail ESTIMATED DELIVERY: Estimated Delivery In 1-3 weeks.

I still have not received this order 6 weeks after it was shipped and their customer response team claims I will receive it within 10 weeks and that they have no way to track the order. So I asked for a refund and they can wait 10 weeks to receive their products back and I will have no way to track their return. Of course NO REFUND.

SCAM?

This company needs to be shut down. They mislead their customers, and take no accountability for their actions. I can only hope that at some point they will not be able to conduct business in this manner.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Indeed a scam

By D C., Manila, Philippines, Verified Reviewer

I wish I read the reviews before placing orders! So far, all the international order issues are true...just didn't think that a company could be so blatantly unethical.

I live in Manila, Philippines. I ordered last July 18th and like an obedient (or gullible) customer, I waited for 8-10 weeks, which they said was the typical duration range for international shipments. It's been 10 weeks. Our local customs didn't receive any parcel from Piping Rock. When I informed customer service, they said that they are not responsible for lost items. In other words, I paid for products (PLUS delivery costs) that were obviously never shipped in the first place! And based on the plethora of similar situations, it seems like there's some sort of Bermuda Triangle for Piping Rock packages that just get "lost" in transit. Guess I have to admit that I've been duped. Hope others get to read these negative reviews before getting sucked into this obvious scam!

Yikes glaring gap in customer service

By Edwin B., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I have ordered here several times before. Their products appear to have some efficacy and are priced competitively. My most recent order, however, has convinced me to take my business elsewhere. My mistake was a simple one; my old billing address populated the billing address for my credit card. Piping Rock rejected my order but the charge still showed up as a hold on my credit card for over a week. When it first happened I immediately try to correct the issue, which didn't work, used live chat and subsequently called. When it was clear that I could not receive my order I asked for them to release the hold on my credit card. It never happened and finally a week later after contacting my credit card company the charge was released. I've never experienced this level of difficulty with online shopping in many years. Did not receive an order and to have my funds held up with little help from customer service convinced me to cancel my account and do business elsewhere.

Low price, as advertised, on time and well package. But the website is a bit poaky

By Steven V., Minneapolis, MN, Verified Reviewer

The best prices and variety I have found anywhere. The products match what I can find at the local stores. The selections of bulk goods and essential oils are priced to meet and beat any other I have found. The crazy deals are a must check for me and my budget. The only disappointments were an essential oil defuses-er that quite after 4 months and the sluggish web site. The products arrive well packaged and in time as listed on checkout. I have been using Piping Rock products for several years and have suggested Piping Rock to any that I know can use its large variety of products. I appreciate the encyclopedia and use it often to research the products befoer deciding whether or not to make a purchase.

Suspect quality of Magnesium Chloride product

By Simon B., Israel, Verified Reviewer

I consider myself sufficiently knowledgeable to comment on their Magnesium product based on 30 years experience with a pharmaceutical company and who are world leaders in magnesium range of products.

Firstly, the tablets crumble in the bottle.

Next, as magnesium is highly hygroscopic, an insufficient desiccant in the bottle to reduce this problem.

Then, I question its solubility, if left in a glass of water for days, it will not dissolve, even on stirring.

The product is potentially harmful as magnesium if not correctly formulated and the tablets not coated, they can cause severe diarrhea.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Grateful and happy

By Jo S., Australia, Verified Reviewer

Ordered via PayPal 11 days ago. Sun was barely up this morning and my parcel was on our front doorstep. I stopped around and was unable to buy this particular product in Australia in capsule form, it is only available in powder form, which I cannot convert. My Specialist recommended this product to me as a last resort, I am extremely grateful to Piping Rock and their efficient service! I can only say to those unhappy to order via PayPal.

So so disappointed...

By Greta K., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

So so disappointed...

I had a problem placing the order in the first place, there was some error on their website, after I contacted customer service they managed to help me out BUT the sale offer 2 for 1 was not applied so I ended up paying more than planned...

Furthermore, the order date was the 22nd of May 2019, today is the 24th of July 2019. I contacted customer service a few times and all they kept saying that "the maximum time for the order delivery is 8-10 weeks, please wait for few more days for the order delivery" and that "your order has reached your country customs and waiting for the order to be delivered". Well, it's been over 2 months and l contacted my country customs and they said that they do not hold the missing parcel. Obviously, the parcel got lost somewhere and PipingRock refuses to do a refund.

Lost £33 for nothing, super disappointed.

When I posted this story on their social media (FB and IG) they just deleted it and blocked me. Wow, such a "professionals."

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love this company

By Diane B., Lucas, KS, Verified Reviewer

I got several items from Piping Rock in good shipping time and excellent price. I love all the products. I definitely will order again.

Lots of discounts was what attracted me. While searching, I found many items at a very great price. It has saved me from needing to pay high prices at city health food stores.

I purchase many supplements and these seem to be just as good. Thank you.

Scam

By Raad A., Saudi Arabia, Verified Reviewer

They claim they shipped my order to Saudi, nut no reference number to follow up on the shipment. Then they claimed there is a problem with my address. Then they claimed the shipment has been shipped back to PipingRock! When I ask for a refund they said shipment has to arrive first to their warehouse, which does not happen! No shipment, no money back!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good service

By Trutz S., Germany, Verified Reviewer

I have ordered six times and the transactions were without any problems, with one exception, when Customs had declared the order as a medicine product, which is not allowed to import to an EU-country. I had to send back and I got the refund in the shortest time.

According to this experience, I will order in the future too.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
