Customer service
The Saudi facts we hold do not include a phone number, email address or service hours for Dr. Nutrition. Use the contact options on the Saudi site, and get in touch quickly if something is wrong, because the refund deadline is 48 hours from the moment the parcel reaches you.
Shipping and customs to Saudi Arabia
Each Saudi order is an international shipment from the UAE. The courier sets the fee and the transit time, and both appear at checkout rather than on a published rate card.
Some countries qualify for free shipping when the basket clears a threshold displayed on the website; only products with the Free Delivery badge count. If your cart mixes labelled and unlabelled items, expect a charge for the unlabelled ones.
On top of the checkout total, the recipient may be charged customs duty and clearance fees. Have identification at hand when the parcel is due; it may be requested before release.
Changing or cancelling an order
No cancellation deadline appears in the Saudi policy we hold. Contact customer service as early as possible if you need to change an order. Clearance items are the one clear exclusion: they cannot be returned or exchanged, so treat a clearance purchase as final.
How to return or exchange
Refund claims close 48 hours after delivery; exchange claims close after 5 days. The Saudi policy states that shipping costs and other fees are taken off the amount you get back.
- Unpack the shipping carton only, then look over each seal and expiry date while keeping products closed.
- Decide within 48 hours whether you want your money back; after that only an exchange is possible, up to day 5.
- Contact customer service with your order details and the reason for the return.
- Send the unopened item back as instructed; it travels back across the border.
- Expect the refund to be reduced by shipping and related fees.
When the refund arrives
After approval, the refund is sent within 7 to 14 working days. Since shipping and fees are deducted, a return on a heavy, low-priced order can leave little to refund, which is worth weighing before you send something back.
Payment and instalments
Saudi shoppers can split larger orders with Tabby or Tamara where the service is available. The qualifying amount is not stated anywhere we found; the simplest test is to fill the cart and see whether either option is offered when you pay.
Remember that customs is collected separately from the recipient, so the instalment plan covers the site total only. Current promotions are listed on the Dr. Nutrition Saudi coupon page.

Frequently asked questions
Why did my Saudi parcel cost more than the checkout total?
Because customs and clearance fees are charged to the recipient on shipments leaving the UAE, and they are not part of the SAR price on the site. The checkout total covers the products and the courier fee only. For a large order, set aside a margin for these charges before comparing with a local shop.
Will I get the full price back if I return an item?
Usually not. The Saudi return policy says shipping costs and fees are deducted from the refund. You also need to act within 48 hours of receipt for a refund, and the product must be unopened. After approval, the reduced amount reaches you in 7 to 14 working days.
How can I tell which products qualify for free delivery?
Look for the Free Delivery label on the product. Items without it are excluded, even if your basket passes the minimum shown on the site. The minimum itself is displayed on the site rather than in the written policy, so confirm the shipping line at checkout before paying.
What should I have ready when the courier arrives?
Your ID. Dr. Nutrition advises Saudi customers that the delivery company or customs may ask for it, and you may also be asked to pay customs and clearance charges at that point. Having both ready avoids a failed delivery attempt and another wait for a parcel that has already crossed the border.
Can I exchange a product after the 48 hours have passed?
Yes, up to 5 days from receipt, as long as it is unopened and not a clearance item. After 48 hours the refund option closes, but an exchange remains available until day 5. Shipping and fees can still apply, so ask customer service what the exchange will cost before sending it.
Does an instalment plan cover customs charges?
No. Tabby and Tamara, offered above a set amount where available, split the amount you pay on the Saudi site. Duty and clearance are billed to you separately when the parcel arrives, so they fall outside the plan and need to be paid directly.
