One such product category that should fit both is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/supplements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vitamins and supplements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Shipping supplements is generally cost-effective because they can be shipped in smaller or compact packaging. Unlike categories such as clothing, supplements don\u2019t need to be seen in person before buying\u2014if the ashwagandha doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s hard to request a return on an open bottle of pills. As we see vitamins and supplements move further into e-commerce, now may be a good time to start looking into selling them online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few things you will need to know before you begin your venture selling and shipping vitamins and supplements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, let\u2019s differentiate between the two:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamins are chemical compounds or groups of chemical compounds like vitamin C or zinc\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplements are generally a combination of vitamins, herbs, amino acids, or other natural\/synthetic ingredients taken to supplement one\u2019s diet\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, the term \u201cvitamin\u201d has better SEO and traffic. The Vitamin Shoppe is the #1 Google result for most search terms. Both terms are equally difficult to rank for, but \u201cvitamin\u201d is more commonly used in brand names. That is something you\u2019ll need to keep in mind when naming your vitamin and supplements business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u201cvitamin\u201d is frequently used interchangeably with \u201csupplement.\u201d Furthermore, \u201cvitamins\u201d is a simpler word to spell and this can help with SEO to avoid misspellings that aren\u2019t autocorrected. If you have to choose a term to use in your branding, it\u2019s probably best to go with \u201cvitamin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I Need Approval to Sell Online?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike pharmaceuticals, supplements and vitamins do <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smpnutra.com\/do-you-need-a-license-to-sell-supplements#:~:text=To%20summarize%2C%20to%20sell%20supplements,ingredients%20approved%20by%20the%20FDA.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not require FDA approval to sell<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Supplements are not subjected to the same tests that drugs are to prove effectiveness or side effects. This makes it an easier product to sell, however, merchants are liable for damages their products cause. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Shipping Vitamins and Supplements Internationally Legal?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplements and vitamins are commonly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myus.com\/benefits\/shipping\/customs-help\/restrictions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prohibited from shipping internationally<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Factors such as prohibited compounds or stricter regulations on growing, harvesting, and selling the compounds make many customs offices return or discard supplements. For simplicity\u2019s sake, you\u2019ll want to focus on shipping vitamins and supplements to domestic customers. For more information, check with a desired country\u2019s import restrictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I Ship Pharmaceuticals &amp; Prescription Drugs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmaceuticals are an entirely different beast due to regulations and FDA approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping pharmaceuticals involves certain requirements you need to fulfill in order to ship them. If you have to ask if you\u2019re able to ship prescription drugs, you\u2019re probably not. Before attempting to ship pharmaceuticals, it\u2019s crucial to check with individual carriers on their stipulations and guidelines. We\u2019ve linked the three major carriers\u2019 guidelines below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ups.com\/us\/en\/services\/knowledge-center\/article.page?kid=art16541bedbda\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPS<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedex.com\/en-us\/healthcare\/pharmacy-delivery.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FedEx<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.stamps.com\/2020\/07\/23\/can-i-mail-prescription-drugs-with-usps\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USPS<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Carrier is Cheapest?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no \u201cone size fits all\u201d answer for the cheapest carrier when shipping vitamins and supplements, but lightweight parcels are generally most affordable through USPS First Class Package Service (under 15.999 oz).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavier parcels are sometimes more affordable through UPS or FedEx. That being said, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/flatrategreen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ShippingEasy\u2019s Flat Rate Green<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a very economical way to ship parcels weighing between 2-20 lbs so long as they are under .<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/dimensional-weight-shipping-calculator\/#:~:text=For%20each%20package%20dimension%2C%20measure,1728%20(1%20cubic%20foot).\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50 cubic feet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This could be particularly useful for larger orders of capsules or more dense packages such as tubs of supplement powder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat rate shipping may also be an alternative so save on shipping vitamins and supplements. Flat rate shipping is offered by all three of the major carriers, each with their own guidelines. USPS and FedEx provide preapproved boxes for free, and UPS allows merchants to use their own packaging at flat rate pricing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37608 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/USPS-Flat-Rate-Medium-Box-Sizes-1-and-2-300x150.png\" alt=\"USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Medium Boxes\" width=\"412\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/USPS-Flat-Rate-Medium-Box-Sizes-1-and-2-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/USPS-Flat-Rate-Medium-Box-Sizes-1-and-2-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/USPS-Flat-Rate-Medium-Box-Sizes-1-and-2.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download our free <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/flat-rate-shipping-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>guide to flat rate shipping<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, complete with tables and charts to help you find the cheapest option by weights and zones.<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering Returns<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning merchandise is never a fun topic, and with supplements, it\u2019s even trickier. You can\u2019t offer returns on used or opened supplements, but many supplement companies offer returns for orders that are less than 14 days old and if they are unopened. Make sure to be clear and upfront about your return policies, and note that 11% of people <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/abandoned-cart-emails-save-sales\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abandon carts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based on a business\u2019s return policies!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering returns on unused merchandise is a great way to boost sales. Even when customers are planning on keeping their merchandise, seeing that a business offers returns is a great way to elevate your brand. This can even move customers from marketplaces with stricter returns on supplements and onto your own website. Luckily, returns can be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/shipping-unboxed-faqs-about-returns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affordable and easy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the right shipping platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Case for Repeat Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One element of selling and shipping vitamins and supplements is the high likelihood of repeat customers. If your customers enjoy the products, they\u2019ll want to reorder. But sometimes people forget or, even worse, shop a competitor\u2019s similar products. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to get ahead of this situation with buy-it-again reminder emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building repeat business is a crucial part of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/customer-lifecycle-email-strategy-e-commerce\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maintaining your customers\u2019 lifecycles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and email is a major part of that.
