“I placed my order LAST WEEK and received a delivery by date of YESTERDAY. I was on chat with customer service for 2 hours today (since there is no phone number to call) and they are just sending it TODAY! So it won't be here til NEXT WEEJ sometime. AWFUL! I was referred to iherb's "management team" but that will take 24-48hours to get any action. I wish I had read these reviews first. Don't think it can't happen to you.”

“ompletely underhand tactics from this company, I was completely unaware they were not in the UK and I would have to pay a customs charge for over half the value of my item. I was told if I didn't collect the package they would refund but 80% of the refund would be kept for shipping!!!!! Complete scam DO NOT BUY!!”

“Had two very different experiences with them. 1) First order (to Europe) no problem, no fees, delivery on time, prices respected. 2) Secound order (still to Europe). Pckaged never delivered (though very small and for a product that is legal in here, so no explanation). They refund the price of the product, but not the shipping costs. Didn't I pay for the product to be delivered to my place ? Apparently not, I paid for it to vist the USA and stay there forever. It represents nearly half the price of my order.”

“Rubbish Company. I have been buying the same products from American for some time and have never once been charged customs duties. I ordered from iHerb for the first time due to stock shortages elsewhere and when the parcel turned up I was faced with customs duties worth nearly 50% of the order value – despite nothing being said about this possibility at the time of ordering. I wished to return the parcel because of this and contacted iHerb. They told me I had better keep the parcel as I would lose over 80% -if not ALL of the order value, due to admin fees etc if I returned it. They didn’t offer any other help or help reduce the custom costs –just kept sending the same threat. I would strongly recommend NOT buying from this Company. By the way the Carrier DHS were very good and did everything to help me – unlike iHerb!”

“they have the worst customer service that i ever meet in an ecommerce. Pay attention: they don't respect shipping time and when you ask them about it, you will obtain just an automatic reply.”

“Terrible service and products...the company has went from being pretty good to be almost disgusting. The customer service is without a doubt the worst customer service of any company..they don't listen to customer concerns or complaints. The quality of the products has went downhill to the point where I actually think they may repackage and dilute what is in each pill. The products have changed in the last year just like the company.”

“I was supposed to recieve my order between the 13th-18th of February. It’s the 23rd and still no sign of my order! My supplements schedule has been interrupted because of this delay. Won’t use iHerb again, completely unreliable.”

“Do not order from i herb! Placed and paid for an order with them recently. One day before delivery got a text demanding further payment before delivery. Contacted them and was told it was their policy to keep 80% if i didn't like it. They will take your money and refuse to deliver. Do not order from them.”

“Won’t be ordering again- No way to call customer service - all issues go through a string of emails which takes several weeks. Iherb disregarded my 10+ years of loyalty by not replacing a damaged shipment in any type of swift manner by endlessly promising “we are re shipping” but would not provide tracking info. After 3 emails back saying I WANT a REFUND they finally issued a credit less $2- Why?!?”

“I've been a customer with iHerb for 3 years. I made a mistake on an order and they did NOTHING to help me. You can't even call & talk to someone. You have to either chat online or email. Worst customer service!!!! They have a complete disregard for customer loyalty. So disappointed!!! DO NOT use this company!!!”

“Iherb – это настоящий шикарный сервис, с большинством качественных продуктов, с профессиональным обслуживанием. Заказываю уже не первый раз, товар всегда упакован отлично, стекло в бумаге, в пузырчатой упаковке, до еще и в герметическом пакете. Молодцы!!! На сайте Iherb много приятных акций, скидки постоянно, бонусы лояльности. Я очень довольна! Рекомендую всем)))”

“Misleading, dishonest and ridiculously bad customer service. On international shipping they have hidden costs of at least 30%. After I ordered, and paid, i got a notification i had to pay another 100 dollar for import taxes, and also for service fees for DHL. When i tried to cancel my order, they made this impossible for me. Also, the customer agent I spoke to on live chat ignored all my messages, just sent me automated messages and then just ignored me after a while. Have never experienced such bad customer service. Honestly.”

“A friend uses iHerb regularly and loves the service, has never had a problem. Based on her experience, I opened an account and placed an order. I received confirmation. Two weeks later, no delivery! I went into my account but could find no evidence of what had happened. Engaged with "chat" and learned that my order had been cancelled with NO NOTIFICATION! The chat representative could not tell me why this had happened, but said he would follow up in email. That never happened. A couple of months later, I decided to try again. Once again, I got as far as the confirmation of order. Then I receive an email telling me I need to call my bank to get a "verification code on the transaction." I have never had an online company require me to call my bank and get a verification code. No one in either chat or email could explain to me why I needed this. I called my bank, who informed me that NOOOOOO, they NEVER give out verification/authorization numbers to a customer - only directly to the merchant, and I would have to arrange a conference call between the bank, iHerb, and me. But here's the catch - iHerb doesn't have a phone number! LOL! That's right, you can't reach an iHerb rep by phone. I emailed iHerb multiple times and requested a phone number, a phone call from them to my number, or at least, a consistent representative via email - nope, nothing doing. I kept getting emails from different reps but no one would address my problem or my request. The toll free number found online has a recording that says iHerb no longer provides phone customer service. Good luck with business - you lost mine and I will make sure that I tell EVERYONE. iHerb cost me about 6 hours of wasted time. They can send me a free box of products and a personal phone call apology and I might consider giving them a second chance.”

“I don't understand the bad rating of iherb and suspicious of the authenticity of the reviews. Anyway, my experience with iherb has been great. Great choice of products, alot cheaper than retail and delivers everywhere. I've been ordering from iherb for past 3 years since I've been moving alot (UK, South Korea, France, UAE, Malaysia etc) and they delivers to all these places. My usual buys are immune enhancing supplements, sports supplements and organic stuff. Try it one time and see if it helps. For 10% off purchase, use this non-expiring voucher NAJ3457 during checkout. Enjoy !”

“Ordered some items. The arrived one months after the predicted arrival date. Some products did not have an expiration date and when i contacted them they asked me to send pictures etc. and at the end asked me to contact the manufacturer. Poor service don't seem to care about their customers”
