Many people new into the world of blending are overloaded with all the information out there. Eventually they will get to the point where they just want to act and get started on their journey to health. Buying the tools needed is the first step required.
The problem then comes up, where do I buy my blender from? Given that the NutriBullet is the most popular blender on the market, let's take a moment to break down the options.
Big Box Stores (Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond)
The attraction to these stores is that you can just go out and buy the NutriBullet. No wait time at all, it is true instant satisfaction. Before buying the blender too, you get a chance to make sure the box is in tip top shape and not at all damaged. Many talk about special coupon codes for 20% discounts at these stores.
Problems do exist though. If anything were to break on your NutriBullet within the first few months, you will have to attempt to deal with the store's customer service. In all my times attempting to return any product, much less an expensive appliance, I have been extremely frustrated. Long lines, an employee clearly disinterested in the job, and unclear policy on what I will receive if I return the item. All of these thoughts run through my head when deciding whether or not I should buy an item costing $100 or more from a big box store or not.
*Update* Commentors have mentioned the easy at returning a NutriBullet to Bed Bath & Beyond. It is good to hear that if any problems come up with a NutriBullet Blender bought from Bed Bath & Beyond it can all be taken care of quickly and with satisfying results.
Amazon
Everyone must know what Amazon is by now. If you are not an Amazon Prime customer, I highly recommend you go sign up. Free 2 Day shipping is the single greatest achievement of humankind. Seriously, life becomes so much nicer when you can place an order and get an item delivered to your doorstep within two days. This is no different for appliances and large boxes. The NutriBullet will be delivered right to your doorstep for free from a shipping cost if you are an Amazon Prime member.
Unlike the big box stores mentioned above, Amazon has a very clear policy on return items. Quite frankly, Amazon has the best policy on returning items out of any company I have ever dealt with.
Any item sold by Amazon or through Fulfillment by Amazon is eligible for a free 30 day return period. This will allow for you to identify an possible faults in a product sold by Amazon and return free of charge. You can choose to get another NutriBullet, or you could decide on another item sold through Amazon. It is a clear and simple policy. Plus, the customer service representatives you talk with over the phone are always extremely polite, helpful, and engaged.
The price at Amazon for the NutriBullet is the same price as what you would find at the big box store when being sold through Amazon.com. If a third party seller is the only option on Amazon and is charging shipping, the price point may differ.
Third Party Online Sellers
I do not recommend the purchase of the NutriBullet from any Third Party Online sellers. Oftentimes there will be no return policy at all and questionable levels of customer service. Prices may be at inflated rates and you will often unwittingly wind up on an email mailing list.
Conclusions
I recommend purchase of the Nutribullet
through Amazon.com. Free shipping, speedy delivery, and the best customer service all make for Amazon as the shining star purchase. If only third party sellers are selling the NutriBullet through Amazon and are charging shipping, then I would consider buying it from one of the Big Box Stores to save a bit of money.

At bed bath and beyond you can use a 20% off coupon to help. Plus their return policy is out if this world from what I've read. I've heard and read of many people taking back items after even a year
ReplyDeleteI bought my nutribullet at Bed Bath & Beyond. I highly recommend you buying in there. I used my 20% coupon.
DeleteI had a problem with it. The motor gave off a burning smell. I returned it without a problem. I never had another problem with it. I just love it!
Good to hear that has all been taken care of. I will update the web post to reflect that users have had positive experiences with Bed Bath & Beyond.
DeleteHello anonymous, i also bought mine from Bed bath & beyond buy i did not save the box! do you think returning the nutribullet without box is possible? My motos smoked too!
ReplyDeleteIf you have the receipt, you should be in a good position. Make sure you have everything that came in the box. Unfortunately, it may take a trip down to Bed Bath & Beyond to clear everything up.
DeleteHopefully all goes well.
