Default GNC 30 day guarantee?

I was putting around GNC today while accompanying my sister to the mall and as usual, i was approached by the person working there and she started asking me what i was taking, (just whey, a multi and a good diet, gonna start muscle milk for 30 days on monday and i want to get some cytogainer as well) so she asked me if i had tried NO or size-on or any of the other $75+ products they sold there yada yada yada. I didnt want to be rude because i know it has to be part of thier job to try and sucker people into buying things, so i just told her that they were all far too expensive to buy without knowing whether it was going to work for me at all (like the gnc brand and phosphagen brand creatine mono, as well as muscle-tech's CEE, i didnt respond to either) and she told me that if i brought back anything within 30 days of buying it and had the reciept they would give me my money back.

So finally heres my question, has any1 even brought something back to gnc and gotten a refund?

also, i have read about Cinnulin-PF as a great sidekick to creatine. since cee and mono both had no effect on me, i was thinking about giving it a try. Cellmass is creatine ethyl ester malate which they call CEM3 (i am guessing its not much different than cee), but what is drawing me to cellmass is the cinnulin-PF so if any1 has experienced better results with cinnulin enhanced creatine please let me know

Yes. I did to at least 200 dollars worth of products. Why? Because I did not respond to the products I had bought there.

I once returned something that was given to me as a gift after using all of it and enjoying the results. It wasn't even bought at GNC. Did I get an exchange, yes. Am I going to hell, probably, but oh well.

I think you can buy the supplements they have for ALOT cheaper in other places and if you feel they didn't work for you, it won't be such a tragedy because you won't have spent that much money in the 1st place

I feel the only way you learn is if you spend your money. Maybe you'll be a little more careful the next time you spend that hard earned money and you might be a bit more educated of a customer next time you shop. This is all just my opinion of course.

Yes, I have used their 30 day guarantee. I have gotten a refund and I also exchanged a flavor of whey protein before.

I wasn't uninformed...I'm actually a pharmacy student so i have a pretty good idea about what things work and how they work...I bought creatine mono and CEE, those are both pretty tried and true products for most people, but the only way you can tell if you are a creatine responder is to try it

Thumbs up

hell yes,

glad someone started this topic...I have worked for GNC before and people are allowed to bring back stuff within 30 days...things might have changed but I remember when I was there we HAD to take back anything even if it was half empty...

hell, buy some protein, put it in another container and by a big thing of Nestle' Quic and dump it in there

cause either way, the associate still gets there PM's (comission) and that's all they really care about.

Yeah I've seen a few GNC commercials pop up out of nowhere lately. I saw one the other day promoting a Women's Multi. It was kind of odd as I've never seen a GNC commercial before, let alone any supplement company's.
