Archaic Online Ordering
In 2019 e-commerce needs to compete with the convenience of amazon. GNC is still taking 3-5 days to FULFILL an order BEFORE they even ship. I placed an online order for protein powder. After a few days of assuming it was in transit I received a message saying my order was cancelled? No explanation. No telling me it was out of stock. No option to pick a different flavor. No offer to notify me when it was back in stock (after i contacted customer support to find out why it was cancelled). Not to mention why is your site allowing orders to be accepted and cards charged when you don’t have the stock? Had to wait for my card to be refunded, and noticed a few days later what i wanted was available again? So i tried a second time. Placed an order for $95 worth of product. It shipped on 1/11 with an expected delivery of 1/15. Came home today- no package. I checked my delivery status and now the expected delivery is pushed to 1/18?? Contacted GNC and all they said is “it’s still within 5-7 business days”. Why in 2019 is shipping taking 8 days from South Carolina to New York? Why is fedex pushing out the delivery status? Terrible service terrible order fulfillment and terrible UX. Faster to just use amazon or go to the store.
