Why the same vitamin costs three different prices online
Pack size, seller, delivery speed and your PIN code all move the price of an identical bottle. Here is what each one is really charging you for.
By Right Supplements
Search a specific bottle across a few Indian stores and you will usually find three or four prices for what is, as far as the label is concerned, the same product. None of the differences are random.
The pack is not always the same pack
The most common explanation is the least interesting: the listings are different sizes. A 60-count and a 120-count bottle of the same product photograph identically and are often titled almost identically. Comparing them on sticker price is comparing nothing, which is why price per unit is the only honest basis.
Who is selling it
On a marketplace, the same product is frequently listed by several sellers at once, each setting their own price and delivery promise. Pharmacy platforms and brand stores price on their own terms again. A large gap between two listings of a genuinely identical pack usually means you are looking at two different sellers, not a bargain.
Speed costs money
Ten-minute delivery is a different service from a three-day courier, and it is priced like one. Where a quick-commerce app is more expensive on the same pack, that premium is the delivery window. It is worth paying sometimes and not others, but it should be a decision rather than a surprise.
Your PIN code is part of the price
Stock, seller and shipping all vary by delivery area, so a price quoted for one PIN code is not a price for the whole country. This is the reason we ask for yours before showing a comparison: a cheap listing you cannot receive is not cheap.
What we do with all this
Right Supplements reads the live listing from each store, converts everything to price per unit, and shows the delivery estimate next to the number. We hold no stock and take no payment. When you decide, you buy on the store itself.
