Netrition - Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions we receive. Please read before contacting us to see if the answer to your question is already here.
Products
We show the complete nutrition facts, ingredients and recommended usage for every product on our site. Right next to the Quantity Buy Box, there is a partial image of a "Nutrition Facts" panel. Simply click that image and a small screen will popup on your display. If you are looking at a product page that has multiple flavors or sizes, you'll need to first select one of the products from the pulldown list and then click the "Nutrition Facts" image for the information of that particular product. This is a very time consuming and labor intensive process that we take great pride in keeping as accurate as possible when formulas and ingredients are changed by the manufacturers. If you ever receive a product that has different facts than what we have posted on our site, please drop us an email so we can check our stock and update as soon as possible.
For those of you following a low carb lifestyle, you'll notice that in addition to displaying Total Carbohydrates in the Nutrition Facts, we also break it down further by displaying "Net Carbs".
If you are following a Weight Watchers SmartPoints program, you'll notice we automatically calculate the SmartPoints for you and display it in our Nutrition Facts panel.
In general, we do not have more information than what is on our web pages. We try to put as much information as possible on our website to allow you to make an informed decision. In addition to nutrition facts for each product we often have further information regarding the product's usage and expected result. If you need information beyond what we have listed on our website, you would have to contact the manufacturer. Contact information for the manufacturer, if we have it, is located at the end of the nutrition facts listing for each product.
We are not currently offering a printed product catalog. However, if you would like, you can print a price list for all the products we carry here: https://www.netrition.com/cgi/catalog.cgi For detailed product information including nutrition facts and customer reviews, please refer to the product pages on our website.
We do not have samples readily available as we are an online retailer and we do not manufacture any of the products that we sell.If you are interested in a certain product you can contact the manufacturer to see if they have any samples to offer you. We provide contact information for manufacturers, if available, near the end of the nutrition facts listing for each product we carry.
We do not have a nutritional specialist or medical staff on hand to give supplementation or medical advice.

Ordering
Sorry, but we have found that it is too time consuming to track down the legitimacy of a company, the company's price, their product availability, and the company's quality of service and breadth of products. Please note that there are thousands of people and companies selling similar items on the Internet, but we believe few compare to the quality of service that we offer. Honestly, we have heard numerous horror stories of customers that got suckered in by a low price at a website but the products never showed up or they waited weeks to get it, received expired products, and/or had no one to call and no one that will answer their email messages or phone calls.
Our first priority is providing you with high quality service. We do an excellent job in maintaining a huge variety of products, keep all products in stock and alert you prior to ordering when they are not, provide product information, excellent prices, shipment options and costs prior to ordering, easy tracking of your shipments and overall top-notch service at all times. We feel that this level of service is better than all of our competitors and provides you with best overall value consistently and doesn't waste your time. We hope you agree, but we understand if you choose to do your business with the company with the lowest price on each individual item.
Please feel free to bring our attention to specific products on which you feel we are over-priced and we will consider adjusting its price during our next round of pricing revisions. We really do appreciate the feedback and your business. We are doing everything we can to keep you coming back.

Yes, when Netrition and Mother Nature deem necessary, generally between the months of April and October, depending on what State the package is shipping to. We constantly monitor temperatures across the country. If you do not see the ice pack option when checking out, then ice packs are not currently being offered. When checking out, if your order contains "heat sensitive" products that are at risk of melting or molding, we offer a Cold Pack Service which consists of an insulated box or insulated bag and re-usable ice packs. This service is automatically provided, free of charge, for orders totaling $50 or more of products. If your order is below $50, there is a $3.99 charge to reflect the extra cost of the Cold Pack Service. You will be given the option to accept the Cold Pack Service for $3.99 or decline it and accept the risk of heat damaged product.
- The ice packs used are not designed to remain frozen for the entire time the package is in transit; however, they are frozen when placed in the insulated box or insulated bag and remain cool for 2-3 days in transit.
- We strongly advise that you place your order so it does not remain in the shipping system over the weekend. For example: place your order Saturday through Wednesday and choose Next Day or 2 Day service, if necessary.
- You should also arrange to receive your package personally or have it delivered to a location (such as work or a friend's house) that will prevent it from sitting outside in direct sunlight.
- Your shipping charge will be based on the weight and destination of your package. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday will be shipped on Monday.
- If you are ordering perishable / heat sensitive with other products and the upgraded shipping charge is excessive, you may want to consider placing 2 orders. One order with perishable/heat sensitive products and one without. That way you only pay for upgraded shipping on perishable/heat sensitive products.
When you receive your package:
CHOCOLATE PRODUCTS: Immediately REFRIGERATE for at least 1-2 hours before opening. This will allow any chocolate that has softened during shipping to reset.
BREAD PRODUCTS: Freeze upon receipt and keep frozen until ready for use.
