Payment Methods:
We currently accept most major credit cards, such as; Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
If you experience difficulties using your credit or debit card to make an international purchase, please first contact your credit card/bank to ensure that your card has been enabled for international purchases. Make sure the billing address provided matches the address on your credit card/bank statement. This will nearly always fix your issue. Please note that all prices are listed and charged in USD unless otherwise noted.
Duties/Taxes:
The number of duties and taxes payable on your goods will depend on its commodity code, as well as the overall purchase and shipping value of the shipment. As the US does not have tariff preferences with the UK, customs duties apply to all goods with a value of over £135. The exact percentage payable depends on the commodity code, which you can check on the Trade Tariff website. Items will not clear UK customs until all duties and taxes have been paid. From the 1st of July 2021, import VAT is payable for all consignments entering the EU, regardless of the value.
- The VAT is calculated based on the total cost of specific goods and the country regulations.
- The applied customs duties are calculated based on the value of the goods, the customs tariff and the origin of the goods.

The laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all. The responsibility is yours to check with your country's Customs office to see if your country allows the shipment of products you ordered (or wish to order) to your country.
We will do our part and follow the exact directions in your order. We will ship the products that you pick to the address that you provide. We will give you the best service and ship it very quickly at the rates that we have agreed to on our site. If for whatever reason the package is seized by Customs Officials, we will not issue you a refund unless all products are returned to us in their original condition. Most orders make it through customs fine; however, most orders that are stopped are returned to us. Also, if the package is returned to us by Customs Officials, you are still responsible for any shipping charges. You pay actual shipping charges based on the weight of the package and handling costs. Medium bottles are cheaper to ship than heavy nutrition bars and protein powders.
