SECAUCUS, N.J., April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Vitamin Shoppe®, an omni-channel specialty retailer and contract manufacturer of nutritional products, today announced that StellaService, an independent company that measures the customer service performance of online businesses, recently recognized The Vitamin Shoppe with a 2018 StellaService Elite Overall Award—a top honor reserved for the best-of-the-best performers across multiple service channels. This was the third consecutive year that The Vitamin Shoppe was recognized for this award.
StellaService's Elite Awards annually recognize retailers for best-in-class customer service across phone, email, chat, shipping and returns.
