A clean, nicely-designed and easy-to-use site, Mother Nature brings you a good variety of vitamins, minerals and supplements. Since 1995, this site's mandate has been to provide its customers with the resources to find "natural, cruelty-free and environmentally friendly health and beauty products."
MotherNature has an incredibly large amount of products that are easy to find, due to the great design. The site is set up with "shopping aisles," that users can peruse to find the products they are looking for. They have everything from vitamins and supplements to keep your body strong and healthy to products for sexual health and weight loss. There is even a "home and grocery" section with a number of special items. There are kosher and organic items for sale as well.
Customer Relations
There is a good deal of information on the site that should clear up questions that users might have regarding the site and its policies and procedures. If you want to speak to a representative directly, you can do so from 9am to 5pm EST, Monday through Friday. An email form is also provided. Ordering by phone can be done 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Customers who purchase more than $49 worth of products will receive free standard shipping by UPS or the USPS within the Continental US and should take two to seven business days. All other orders can by shipped by priority or express service with the USPS. There is no information on the site for international shipping.
They have a quick reorder function for customers that have already placed orders.
Is the price right?
Many of the products listed on the site have sale prices that are 20 to 35% off the regular price. There is a section that lists sale items with some having up to 70% off discounts.
What else will I find?
There is a "learning center" where customers can purchase books on many natural health issues. You won't find any newsletters or information from health professionals at this site.
The bottom line
There are quite a few products at Mother Nature and many of them are offered at a discount. Offering free shipping for certain orders is a great feature and the kosher and organic products are a great thing to find. The bottom line is, this site provides customers with great discounts on many different health and lifestyle products.
