FAQs

Quite simply our prices are so competitive because we don’t use fancy and expensive blister packaging as do many of our retail competitors.

With so many of our products being processed, manufactured and despatched from one site, our UK manufacturing facility based near Ripon in North Yorkshire, using the minimum resources necessary with regards to packaging and transport, this means we can pass the savings on to you, our customer. We don’t expect you to pay for our expensive marketing costs either.

Hellenia supplements are supplied in space saving re-sealable pouches and letterbox friendly flat pots which means that in many cases parcels will fit through a standard letterbox.

There are exceptions of course, large quantity orders, or where certain products such as powders supplied as 500g/1kg pouches will not fit through a standard letterbox.

We use Royal Mail 2nd class service as standard. They aim to deliver parcels in two or three working days. If you opt for the 1st class delivery this is usually 1-2 days. However please remember that heavy items can take up to 5 days to be delivered by Royal Mail.

If you require a 1st Class delivery then the postage charge will be £3.95. Royal Mail aim to deliver 1^st class items next working day, however this is not a guaranteed service.

Royal Mail: If your parcel has been undeliverable the postman may have left it with a neighbour or in a secure location for you, we therefore ask you to thoroughly search your property and to check with neighbours prior to contacting us. Alternatively, you may have been left a ‘Something for you’ card if they have been unable to complete delivery, this will inform you of how to contact your Local Delivery Office to allow collection or redelivery of your parcel. Please note the parcel will only be held at the sorting office for a limited amount of time, after which it will be returned to us.

Parcelforce: To ensure the safe delivery of your parcel they need a signature to confirm successful delivery. If there is nobody to receive the parcel, the driver will either attempt delivery to a neighbour or take your parcel to be securely held at the local Post Office or depot. The driver should have left a card stating the location of your parcel. Please follow the instructions left by the driver.

We are proud to manufacture our supplements on site in North Yorkshire in the UK.

As a company we are keen to minimise our impact on the environment. We make every effort to be environmentally conscious and minimise the environmental impact of modern manufacturing processes used within the food supplements industry.

Our office and factory are all run under this policy and our employees are actively encouraged to recycle and save power wherever possible. All office paper waste is reused then shredded to be used as packaging (please note any sensitive paperwork is cross shredded in house prior to being destroyed). (This conforms with the Data Protection Act 1986). We also reuse cardboard and packaging.

We recycle our used inkjet printer cartridges, with a donation being made to Diabetes UK for each one. In order to maintain our green commitment we would encourage electronic communications wherever possible.

Our carbon footprint is smaller than a lot of other mail-order supplement companies who buy their products already manufactured, then ship them to a clearing house that packs them and often ships each item separately. This is extremely inefficient. Unlike other companies, we process, manufacture and dispatch from one site here in Ripon using the minimum resources necessary with regards to packaging and transport.

How do I find out more information about a particular supplement?

If you need advice on any supplement sold by Hellenia please contact our friendly customer service team via email – info@hellenia.co.uk or by telephone – 01765 603 816. Please note we cannot offer any medical advice.

No, we cannot offer any medical advice, and would advise if you have a medical problem that you contact your GP.

The material structure is a 3-ply laminate including a metallised layer.

It is not recyclable but it can be upcycled.
