"Stay away from this store. Products seem stale or defective - something is not right. I tried to return a product and my emails (5) were never acknowledged. I called the number on the website at least a dozen times and that, too, was a waste of my time. So, I lost a lot of money and can only hope others learn from my experience. Iherb boasts about having 113 positive reviews, but considering they also boast about filling thousands upon thousands of orders, the math does not add up!"

"Iherb.com has been rated best online vitamin store by consumers for the past 5 years running. Enter code LAN054 to get $10 off orders over $40 and $5 off other others. Iherb.com has great service, superfast delivery and the lowest prices. I've used them for 6 years and they are excellent. Highly recommended. "

"Stay away from IHerb international shipping. The shipping was lost, as per iHerb 'explanation' due to customs procedure.
I made $200+ iHerb purchase as New Years gift. They offered to use DHL shipping, 14 days promised delivery. After 1 month of non-delivery, I was told to wait, that happens "sometimes". After 2 months I was told they do not request from DHL information on shipping within 3 months of sending. After 3 months I was informed they are NOT going to deal with DHL and refused to refund.
I called Global DHL for tracking and was notified that only the sender can request tracking information.
iHerb looks for SALES not taking any responsibility for delivery.

"I ordered some superfood from iHerb.com to my address in Norway about one and a half months ago. For some reason unknown to me the package got stuck in the customs and returned back to iHerb.

iHerb refunded some of the amount I payed, but decided to keep 20% for them self in addition to the shipping fees. With goodwill I can understand the shipping fees, but the 20% of the order they did not refund is flat out bad customer relationship policy. What disturbs the most is their very impolite way of telling me this, and their total lack of wish to sort it out to end up with a satisfied customer. They even stopped replying me.

"I would recommend this seller. I live in South Korea and they ship to me super fast. The products are great and my wife loves the variety they offer. If your trying to be vegan overseas this is a great site for you."

"Ordered some shampoos from iherb.com, it was the cheapest place online I found that had the shampoos that I wanted. Also received a 5.00 off coupon which pretty much paid for the shipping. Fast shipping! iherb.com gets a thumbs up from me!"

"Returned $40 worth of products and got $3.06 back. Shipping alone cost me $5.25. Nice.

Customer service is HORRIBLE. Meaning, there is ZERO.

I was a loyal buyer to this company. Spending hundreds every few months. They obviously do not care about repeat customers. End the end I got my money back by filing a dispute with my CC company. Nice to lose a few customers over $40 right?

Looks like I will be going back to Amazon. Sure they charge taxes but their return policy and customer service is 100% better than iHerb.

I think their full name is "I is smoking some herbs" because I think everyone one of them are high while on the job.

"Very good selection and service.

I've ordered from iherb for several years now without problems.
I've seen a few items cheaper on other sites like luckyvitamin.com. but I end up going with iherb mainly because I like how the expiration dates are displayed for their items. I don't want to risk getting something near its expiration date. I also like that they fully display all the supplement facts.

If you spend $40 you get free shipping as well, and I receive my orders in a couple of days. Eveything so far has arrived well packaged. No leaks or spills on the liquid products I have ordered.
I did have one occasion where a package did not arrive and I did a 'chat' with a rep online. She found that the pkg was lost and she promptly sent me another package with no problem.
I live in California, iherb is located in Moreno Valley, so I am obviously not going to run into any shipping problems as opposed to others in different countries.

"I had noticed if there were any complaints about iherb, most of the time would be about the customer service. With my years of online shopping experience, iherb has by far the worst customer service I have ever encounter.

"Toni" the service personnel obviously doesn't enjoy his/her job or perhaps the company does not set a certain standard for the employees.

My experience in short: Wrote to customer service about my order which was being returned. Obviously anyone would like to find out why? So my reply from "Toni" was to be exact: "it does not said custom sent it back." and that was the explanation I get basically. So I wrote back to clarify and gave a piece of advise by telling "Toni" to do his/her job well or don't do it at all. Guess what?! He/she actually wrote back again and another lame response: "You had a question I answered it. I cannot predict why something was done in customs. Thank you".

Honestly, I am glad that there are other websites that providing the same products online.

"Continually excellant service and prices. Customer Service friendly, polite, fast and knowledgeable. A pleasure to do business with. Shipping....just as good as their service and prices. Found the order in my sent folder and wanted to comment before I deleted the order. Something just take longer to get done than others. Now, back to my order to Iherb 8-P Ceecee"

"I have purchased many many vitamins and supplements from iHerb.com. I have always found the service to be FAST and the prices are the lowest I have found on a regular basis. I may find a cheaper price for an item here and there, but iHerb is very consistent. In December 2012 they emailed their customer base and gave away $20.00 of products for free--but you had to use the code within a week or two (dont remember exactly, but it was time sensitive). And I mean TOTALLY free. I went in and ordered 2 bottles of Vitamin D which came to $23.xx... At check out I entered the code and only had to pay the $3 plus change. If I remember correctly you will get 10% off your first order as well. I highly recommend iHerb!! "

"Great prices and service. They do consistently pack certain items poorly (soymilk is often leaking by the time it arrives) but they always promptly replace it. We've asked them to change the way they pack the soymilk and they have listened! Great store."

"Almost 8 weeks passed since my order and I still haven't received anything. Their customer support refuses to be helpful. Parcels from iHerb are being lost ALL OVER Europe. Someone must be stealing them in the warehouse or something, because it's unbelievable – just check iHerb facebook page and read customer comments.

Also, the company doesn’t inform you during the ordering process that it is not going to refund the money if the package has been lost.

I'll never do business with them again.
