Like a pyramid scam Swanson website is poorly designed, over complicated and prices change as you shop even items prices in your cart. Constant nagging to force you into their email newsletter which means constant spam or paper propaganda catalogs with again over complucated pricing that starts cheap but ends with inflated shipping or having to buy itenms you don't need. Example today was looking for Pickly Pear extract, noting it was a Swanson item we already were turned off. Yet we thought we woould try again. Immediately the shopping cart which is way to big for large screen mobile phones there is mass confusion and needless screen changes. We add 2 Cactus bottles then to make the $30 minimum.99 shipping we add a few other items. Problem is when you click check out even the Amazon or PayPal options to pay you must give all your shipping and billing info. Worse the cart removed the Cactus bottles with no reason. If this is due to us living in CA it makes no sense as buying directly from Walmart or Amazon this was never a problem. Walmart has won our business and agsin Swansons over complicated check out, ordering ( the whole online shopping experience us a nightmare and riddled with too much sales BS and needless hype.

Tip for consumers:
Poor webdesign over complucates, wastes times and often the end cart total is changed to much higher rates, the whole pricing structure is like a pyramid scam. Cheap get you interested pop ups that end up changing in price when you check out or being totally removed with no reason

One sided program that takes advantage of users who help sell products. Amazon Associate program is designed to milk your work and then add fees to avoid payment. Fall short of their demands and all your work is lost while they continue to take advantage of your sales.
