Orders & Shipping
Where do you ship from, and how much does shipping cost?
All orders ship from our warehouse in Fullerton, California. Shipping within the United States is free on every order.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders are processed from our Fullerton, California warehouse and typically arrive within a few business days inside the U.S. You'll receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
Right now we ship within the United States. International shipping is coming soon and will be available for a shipping fee. If you're outside the U.S. and interested, reach out and we'll let you know when it's live in your region.
How do I track my order?
As soon as your order ships from Fullerton, we'll email you a tracking link. If you have an account, you can also see your order status when you log in.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
If your order hasn't shipped yet, contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to update or cancel it. Once it's left the warehouse, it follows our returns process below.
Subscription
How does Subscribe & Save work?
Choose Subscribe & Save at checkout and you'll get 16% off every order, with your red ginseng delivered automatically on the schedule you pick. It's the easiest way to keep a daily ritual going, and the best price we offer.
How often will I be charged and shipped?
You choose the delivery frequency that fits you, with options including every 2 weeks, 1 month, or 3 months. You're charged and shipped on that schedule until you change or cancel it.
Can I cancel or change my subscription anytime?
Yes, anytime, with no fees or commitment. You can change your frequency, skip a delivery, or cancel from your account. There's no lock-in.
Can I use a quantity discount and a subscription together?
The two are separate offers. Subscribe & Save gives you 16% off on a recurring delivery, while our multi-box quantity discounts apply to one-time purchases. You'll always get the better-priced option for how you like to buy.
Returns & Refunds
What is your return and refund policy?
We want you to feel confident trying Dr. Choi's. You can request a return within 30 days of receiving your order, even if you've opened it and tried a few sticks. Because returns are a change of mind, the product must be sent back to us, and a few simple steps apply, below.
How do I start a return? (RMA)
Returns are handled through a quick approval process so we can take care of you properly:
- Contact us within 30 days to request a return and complete a short RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) form.
- Wait for our approval and return instructions, please don't ship anything back before this.
- Send the product back to us. Return shipping is paid by you, the customer.
- Once we receive it, we issue your refund.
Approval first, then ship, then refund. It keeps everything clean and traceable for both sides.
How much will I be refunded if I've already used some?
It depends on how many sticks have been used:
- If you've used 3 sticks or fewer, you get a full refund once we receive the return.
- If you've used more than 3, we deduct $5 per stick beyond the first three.
For example, if 10 sticks were used, that's 7 sticks past the first three, so $35 (7 × $5) is deducted from your refund.
Who pays for return shipping?
Since returns are a change of mind, return shipping back to our Fullerton warehouse is paid by the customer. Once your approved return arrives, we process the refund.
What if my order arrived damaged or wrong?
That's on us, not you. If anything arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us right away with a photo and we'll make it right.
Product
Does it contain caffeine?
No, zero caffeine. Korean red ginseng is a caffeine-free adaptogen, which is why many people use it for steady daily energy without the spike, crash, or jitters of coffee.
How do I take it, and how much per day?
One 30ml stick a day, ideally in the morning. For timing, routines, and a personalized plan, see our How to Take It guide.
Is it safe to take with medication or during pregnancy?
If you take medication, have a health condition, or are pregnant or nursing, please check with your doctor before starting, since our red ginseng is concentrated. Full safety notes are on the How to Take It page.
What's actually in it?
Each stick is 30ml with 3,000mg of 6-year Geumsan Korean red ginseng concentrate, 30mg+ of ginsenosides, and honey. No caffeine, vegan, and non-GMO. The deeper science is on our The Science page.
How should I store it?
Keep sticks at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed, which is part of what makes the stick format so easy to travel with.
