I've had good experiences at GNC and have taken back some things when I didn't like the taste. I've never bought vitamins there. I buy my multivitamins from BA and get free shipping since I have an automated order. I also order Click from them monthly.
You do need products that are specifically for bariactric patients. I was told NOT to take children's vitamins because they aren't what we need.
Bariatriceating.com has some excellent products and free shipping with orders of $75.
I have the Gold Card and have gotten more than the $15 back. Sometime they have their protein powder, BOGO, and that's a big savings. The one close to my office honors the card everyday. I bought a shaker cup today and they gave me 20% off.

If they've not been opened they should take them back but actually I wouldn't want vitamins that had been taken out of the store. There are crazies out there that would put something in them that was harmful then return them. Please don't be offended by that comment. I don't mean you would do that but there are people who would.
I have returned protein powder and exchanged for another flavor with no problem. You may just have to use them. It's a bummer that you spent so much money on them when you could have gotten them cheaper somewhere else.

That would be upsetting. The Columbia GNC is always very nice and helpful- I am sure they can refund your money. I went to the one at Capitol Mall and tried to buy the protein bullets and they had a price listed for the case and a price for the individuals. They didn't have any boxes open so I took one flavor out of each box to try. I wasn't going to buy a case of one flavor. The boy working told me I couldn't buy them individually because of how they inventory- I even questioned why an individual price was listed then..............didn't get me anywhere. I left and drove to Columbia where I was able to buy them individually- it just made me mad that I had to drive to Columbia to buy them.
