Andrew Lessman Vit. C price increase!

Mominohio — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 02:54:20 GMT

I think I posted in this forum several months ago about getting Lessman's Vit. C and having such a bloated feeling when taking it. Happy to say that passed quickly and I've been really happy with the product.

In an effort to keep ahead of things being hard to find or simply unavailable lately, I looked at picking up another bottle, only to find that the price had gone up $50 (for the biggest bottle of 720) and from getting free shipping the last time, to $10.47 shipping. $50!!!!!!!!!!! That is a huge price increase just since March of this year.

I don't watch his presentations and I'm not familiar with the pricing of his products over time, so can anyone tell me, did I just get some great deal during a sale the last time? Is it something that happens at certain times of the year? Has something besides the virus happened that caused the price to go up so much?

Any input appreciated, as I find that kind of increases to be staggering.

The only explanation would be it was a Today's Special. I like his vitamins but they are not inexpensive.

@Mominohio You're not alone!

I swear by his Glucosamine/Chondroiten and about 4 months ago I paid $99.00 with easy pay and free shipping for 600.

After reading your post I checked on the HSN website and that item also went up $50.00 with the steep S&H charge you mentioned!!

I have found this item on Ebay in the past so I'll start keeping an eye out there as I have about another month's supply.

My belief is that with the COVID situation, his costs have gone up with sanitizing and other things so he's passed it along to the customers. However, that's more of an increase than I think is warranted under any circumstances.

He runs specials on a lot of his items during his TS visits and then they go back up. That's why I try to buy what I need during his visits. His best prices are the ones he offers for his Today's Special items. He's pretty consistent on his offers so when things I already use are offered for TS, I buy the largest size so it will last until the next TS. There is a nice poster here who keeps us advised on what items will be offered and when.

@Mominohio For my item:

I found 900 caps for $159.+free shipping at Ebay and on Amazon (for my item) I found 600 caps for $119. + free shipping, so maybe either of these sources would also give you a better price than HSN.

I've been using Andrew Lessman's vitamins for years. Like you, I bought the vitamin C back in march at a good price, but like some people said, the vitmains were on sale with free S&H. I just ran out and waiting for him to come back with another good sale so I could buy some. Next time, I'll buy the biggest bottle so it can last me longer.

This is a prime example of a Chinese monopoly. We need to get our supply source back to the USA.

@santorini Now you have made me curious. I don't see this on the photos of the bottle or in the description. Where is the Vitamin C made? @santorini

He doesn't say where the ingredient is sourced, though. He buys the raw material, but they are assembled in Nevada.

If you call the 800# they may be able to tell you where it's sourced.

You may want to check his own website which I think is procapslabs.com. Many times he holds the specials over from his HSN visit and I want to think his website is always free s/h.

I myself would be very leary of purchasing from e-bay or even Amazon. If anything, I would look around for another Vitamin C or other vitamins if his are cost prohibitive.

All of his products are at there highest price when he is not on air. All of his products have reduced prices, sometimes significant, during his visits. As well as free shipping. Just watch for when his visits are scheduled, usually monthly, and stock up then.

You can find his scheduled apppearances on HSN at his website procapslabs.com. You scroll down to the bottom of the page and there's a "HSN Schedule" line. I don't think he posts really far in advance - just for the upcoming visit. He is going to be on HSN in August but I'm not sure when or whether or not the days and times have been posted on his website.

@Mominohio

720 ct is $99.90 on his site & $129.90 on HSN site right now. Wait until he has his show on Aug. 23rd. I think it has been running around $70 during his shows.

@Lipstickdiva

I would not buy that type thing from Ebay unless it's being sold & shipped by Andrew.

The products on Amazon are sold by Andrew's company Procapslabs & fulfilled by Amazon.

@CrazyDaisy

Thanks for that info. I wondered if there were times when prices were cheaper. I ordered on a whim and it was my first time, so I didn't know if there were times prices were significantly lower. I guess I was just lucky in my timing.

I'll watch for his visits.

Thanks for the heads up on the upcoming show. I will definitely hold out and see if the prices are better then!
