I ordered from iherb.com over a week ago and I never received my order! Then they gave me an invalid tracking number. Once the tracking number was rectrified they said that it had been delivered to my front door. Never received it ! If your thinking about ordering from this place please dont.

I have been living in multiple countries across three continents, and so far iherb has delivered in terms of product choice, quality and delivery to all those countries. If there is any issue (apart of customs), raise it up with them for refund.

Having issues with iHerb, they sent me someone else's order, asked me to take photo's etc of the order and email them through, did everything they asked, and haven't heard anything back since. I don't want someone else's order, I would like what I paid for, or a refund. Have purchased things from iHerb before without issue, however it seems if there is an issue, well then you're up the creek without a paddle.

It's true. iHerb is a scam-site and absolute DON'T buy products from this company. Only international locations are not getting their orders. And poof then you're money is gone! If you we're looking for those brands like Real Techniques or Elf, please, do not buy it here. You're better off with buying it on Ebay, the original sites or Amazon. But for now, i don't really trust them... So yeah...

But, i think maybe it's also because of Airmail? DHL gives you the product, it is a little more expensiver but maybe that's the problem? Airmail does'nt give you're order if you're international? I'm from The Netherlands and my package from Airmail never received! And it was like 50 euro's! Alot of euro's, i'm very pissed about it and i hate iHerb. Anyone on this earth who buys from iHerb for the first time and he or she lives international: DON'T DO IT. Be careful!

Amazing store - $10 off coupon/code PJH581

I really appreciate the ease of shopping at the iHerb website. Being able to create and save a list of items that I purchase on a regular basis is a wonderful tool. It makes shopping every month so much easier. I am grateful for all of the information available for each vitamin or supplement giving detailed ingredients and usage as well as reviews. The extensive catalog provides lots of options and comparison shopping is easy. Every order has been filled perfectly, packaged well and shipped promptly. All communications through the website and email have been clear and helpful. Oh and did I say how much I appreciate the sales?! Thank you, iHerb! Great quality and wonderful customer service.

I was receiving orders from iherb regularly. I ordered on Feb 9 and then Feb 11. I received the order from Feb 11 but Feb 9 ( today is March 8) is still missing. I complained many times to iherb but nothing was done. Eventually I received an email to stop complaining and wait until March 23. I live in Toronto 50 km from US border. What is going to be different on March 23? My order was worth over $50. There is no problem resolution by iherb. I have not ordered from them because it is not reliable. I am looking for another on line store selling supplements and herbs.

I have been ordering from iHerb for years and I live in Africa. I have it shipped DHL. It always arrives very quickly. My only hold up is customs on my side. iHerb is in no doubt a trusted company.

My order, dispatched on November, never arrived. Iherb standard answer says that they doesn't take care of missing orders and don't give the money back. This is the first time in my life that a e-shop doesn´t give me a refund or send my items again (even with non-trackable shipments). It isn't an issolated issue and it's not just about my country post service as they said to me. If you take a look at Iherb facebook wall you could check how many people haven't received their orders, so obviously there´s a problem. Customer Service Department only send standard answers (if they send them, not always happen). I do know that sometimes they give somebody a refund. I´ve asked them about this but they don´t say anything. I don´t know why should I have less rights as a customer just because I buy via internet.

i`m waiting for my order 6 weeks already. i contacted iherb few times, but they did not communicate, finally after 5 weeks i got an answer, which said that i should be patient, that sometimes it might take 6-8 weeks to get the package... i think this is really a disrespectful behavior towards customers

I have ordered from iHerb about 10 times in the last 4 months. I live in Australia. One order out of them seem to have been lost (I paid $4 for non-trackable shipping). This is a $55 loss for me. Ordering from them using delivery through UPS etc. would come too expensive to order from iHerb all together. This is a big disappointment for me as I liked their prices and the range of products. :((( I don't think I am going to keep recommending this company as I used to.

I have not had a problem with them. I got everything that I ordered from them promptly. I guess if you don't live n the U.S. it probably best to order from a company within your own country. Different countries have different customs procedures when packages arrive outside their borders. If you live overseas you can't put it all on iherb, because you know that each country has their own way of dealing with international mail and that's where the problems come in. If I was iherb I would not offer delivery outside of Canada or the UK, if I did not have warehouse in that country.

They are scam. I spent over a hundred dollars on the order and nothing comes to me.
I am a frequent online shopper and this has never happen before.

I think iherb should look into it instead of replying with standard template on lost items are non refundable.

I am surprised to read there are more like me. I haven't received my order as well. I have been waiting for more than two weeks now. I find it unbelievable actually that such a company doesn't stand behind orders whih get lost over the post and that we have to pay for them without having received it. I have thrown my money through the toilet!

iHerb is a great place for supoplements. I've been doing business with them for over 7 years. If you didnt receive your order, it must of been an error by the shipping/delivery company, especially to overseas locations, it clearly states on their website if you choose certain shipping services, those services do not provide tracking numbers, and iherb is not responsible for lost products. I've come to know by now, that if iherb makes a mistake, they will fix it, but its a rarity. I've recommended many friends and family to this site, all have been extremely happy, and have recommended people themselfs. I love iHerb.

They gave me a shipment confirmation number. But no use. We cannot use it for tracking.
I dont know what to do now..

I don't know what happened there ?as we are all human and make mistakes. Worst case senario is get a refund from UPS if item was lost? and give iherb another try, that is what this country is made of (secound chances) I have been a customer for over a year at iherb.com and have saved hundreds and have decent shipping times, especially with FREE SHIPPING FOR ORDERS OVER 40 DOLLARS.
