“Product was sent quickly however it smelled bad, it had spoiled. I contacted iHerb to return it and either get a refund or a different product and they DENIED the refund. I will never shop there again. When I googled the warehouse, it does not have A/C on the roof and is across the road from a sewage treatment plant. Never again.”

“Please do not believe the negative reviews. This company delivers all over the world and there is bound to be delivery problems in foreign countries My order came within a week and we received it, but my husband had put it away and I didn't realize it had come. I asked Iherb for a refund and they refunded the full amount immediately. 2 weeks later I discovered I did have my order and apologized to Iherb and asked them how I could repay them. Here is there gracious response: Dear Sharon C.: "Thank you for letting us know that you already received your package. We are glad that we could help. Regarding the Refund you received, there is nothing you need to do or worry about with it. And for the products you received, you do not have to return it to us. Please keep it and try it as a free product. " Iherb. I would like to thank Iherb for being quick to respond and refund my money. I would also like to apologize to Iherb for my mistake and thank them for their generosity. Thank you Iherb, Sharon C.”

“Casey Cravens 12:48 (12 minutes ago) to info I placed an order with you guys 7 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. I've contacted you now 10 times and DHL four times. My order # is 505866762-0 In every instance, either you or your shipping company has refused to accept responsibility. Finally yesterday, a DHL representative told me a bunch of IHerb shipments sent via Global Mail have been going missing in New Zealand once the packages arrive in Auckland. I've contacted New Zealand Post and they have no record. I've concluded that someone either in DHL's Auckland office or the NZ Postal office is stealing the packages. I want a refund and three units of the same item I've ordered or I will continue to post negative reviews of IHerb on every review site I can find. Here is a copy of the last review of your company I posted: https://nz.trustpilot.com/users/5bd8ebf44de5666d34fde4ad I'm a busy guy trying to run a small business and take care of my family. I don't have time to have to write you ten times when you fail to provide what I've paid you for. You chose the shipping method. Your are ultimately responsible for this situtaion. You guys have terrible customer service and management and deserve to suffer the consequences. You are also bad people. A pox and gypsy's curse on you and your families. Sincerely,”

“Poor customer service. Had to pay import and post office charges which trebled the cost of the purchase. When I suggested that they make this clear to overseas buyers, they were just rude and obnoxious.”

“The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced, and I lived all around the world and I shop for everything online. DO NOT PURCHASE A SINGLE THING ON THIS WEBSITE, PLEASE. I have never received a package and they have never provided me a refund. All that after 3 FULL MONTHS OF EXCHANGING EMAILS WITH THEM. I am still not going to give up but this is beyond. Also, they have TONS of false reviews on their website, just please, avoid them on your own good. This people need to be punished for the scams they are doing over people, stealing their money.”

“Awaiting an overdue order. I am being told by some possibly mechanical chat person that delivery is 5 to 7 working days. I have told her many times that it has been 13 working days so far, but I may as well be talking to a wall. No response to emails. It was a large order and I don't have that kind of money to throw away. I have bought from them before with no issues, so something must have happened to this company. I recommend you stay away from them.”

“iHerb used to provide good service. Lately I ordered an international delivery from iHerb. And it was a bad experience. The customer support is in such a bad state, they if you chat with them, you get copied pasted response and of non relevance to resolving the problem. I have stopped using iHerb. Not because what they don't sell products, but because of being a liar company that claims it can deliver but does not even have a support for it. Bad organization.”

“My first and last order from Iherb... When I've ordered from iherp there were a couple of options for a delivery- next week delivery £11 or standard delivery I choose a standard delivery and when I got the package they charged e £17,20. When I asked them why do you say that ''fees may apply upon delivery'' you don't actually tell us that we have to pay £17,20. We are in 21st century, about to go to Mars in the next decade or two, and you are telling me that you can't do a research and tell me I have to pay £17,20 when I get 2 jars of minerals ??”

“I ordered a couple of sun screen from the uk website but I was unknowingly diverted to the USA one even though the amount was paid in british pounds sterling. As a result I had to pay £16 DHL custom as the order was being shipped from the USA. But I was not informed of this. I am furious of having to pay this amount. I have ordered before from iherb but this will now definitely be my last time. And I will be informing my colleagues, family and friends of this too. Its obvious this deliberate withholding of information is an attempt to rip people off. Iherb need to be reported.”

“Do not buy from this company. Not sure if they even have people or robots. Placed a repeat order. They sent the wrong product. Have no system to ship correct item and order a pickup of the incorrect item. Nor does each "department" have the ability to know what the other "department" said or did.The same old questions all over again. After 2 hours between live chat and emails I got them to agree to a refund. Then I had to pack and get to a UPS store. 2 weeks after receiving the product back I still did not have the refund. Had to go through the same process over again. 2 days later after this agony, a credit was received. And it is not over, they tricked AMEX and told them the refund was given much earlier. Liars, robots and cheaters.”

“I placed an order with them on 3rd of August and after two days tried to login to my iherb account to check the status of my order which was a prepaid order which I placed with my credit card but to my shock I wasn’t able to login to my account even after resetting my password. I thought i might have forgotten but in real it was just that for no reason they deactivated my account. As i was already charged for it i tried contacting their costumer care who didn’t helped and gave another email id to seek help. When i shared my problem with that id, nobody reverted back. I tried chatting with their executive after downloading their website and he didn’t helped me but i kept insisting so lastly he said i just know we have canceled your order to which i was not even sent a mail about. Last mail i got from them is that they had shipped my order. These cheaters charged me for nothing and after that deactivated my account. Worst experience ever.”

“I ordered from Iherb for delivery to the U.K., order total £75. I received several messages from the courier telling me I had to pay an extra £25 for customs duty and taxes. I contacted Iherb to say I was shocked and didn't want the goods considering the extra charge. Iherb told me that if I refused to pay these charges the package would be returned to Iherb who would issue a refund BUT they would deduct all fees and charges off the refund so the refund would equal approximately £0.00. I paid the £25 and am absolutely fuming. I have ordered many things from America from a variety of companies without this sort of thing happening. I told Iherb this and pointed out it was their responsibility, but it made no difference. Scam. Trickery. IF YOU PLACE AN ORDER WITH IHERB FROM ABROAD YOU ARE TRAPPED INTO EXTRA CHARGES.”

“They simply refuse to cancel my account!! It is unbelievable. They will only deactivate so that you can easily reactivate. I spent a week of effort and in the end, they simply refused saying we cannot cancel your account!! That is unacceptable and I have never heard of an internet company refusing to cancel an account (in recent times). They have awful customer service.”

“This company should be closed down. I will be pursuing trading standards as iHerb should not be exporting products and ripping off customers with extra duty that is not mentioned at purchase point. If they are shipping go-ids they should incur import fees, not the customer.”
