How can I check for myself that a product is genuine?
Check the pack before you use it: the seal should be intact, the batch number and expiry date clearly printed, and the label consistent with the brand's own design.
- Confirm the outer seal or inner foil is unbroken
- Find the batch number and expiry date on the pack
- Compare the label and logo with the brand's official artwork
- Look for an importer or distributor label if one is applied
- Contact us if anything looks different
-
Why is your price different from a seller I found online?
Prices vary between sellers for several reasons: purchase volume, import and storage costs, how VAT is applied, and how close the stock is to its expiry date.
- Our prices are in OMR and include VAT where it applies
- Delivery charges are shown separately at checkout
- Products are sold in original, factory-sealed packaging
Note: If a price sits far below the market, it is worth asking about the expiry date and the source before buying.

- Ready the same or next business day and held for 7 days
- Branch collection is free
- To check an item at a branch, message us on +968 7161 1711

The packaging looks different from the photo. Is that normal?
Yes, this is common. Manufacturers refresh their packaging and label artwork from time to time, so a pack can look different from the photo while the product inside is unchanged.
- Site photos are illustrative and may show an earlier design
- Check that brand, flavour and size match what you ordered
Note: Unopened, factory-sealed items can be returned within 30 days of delivery with proof of purchase.

Are your products imported, and how are they handled?

- Batch number and expiry date appear on every pack
- Storage instructions are printed on the manufacturer's label
Note: Once it reaches you, keep the product in a cool, dry place as stated on the label.

What is a batch number and where do I find it?
A batch or lot number is a code the manufacturer prints to identify a production run. It usually sits next to the expiry date on the base of the tub, the label edge or the lid.
- Look for the words Batch, Lot or LOT No
- Photograph it once you open the pack, in case the print rubs off
-
Who do I contact to verify a batch number?
Message or call us on +968 7161 1711, daily 10:00-22:00, or use Contact Us, and send the batch number with a photo of the pack.
- Include your order number if you bought online
- You can also bring the pack to any branch
