IHerb used to provide excellent service. Now it's horrible. Their customer service is non existent. I've been waiting for an order to be shipped for a week and every response I get is different and complete garbage. They charged my credit card incorrect amounts and no response to my queries on that.
I'm sharing my experience because I know there are a lot of choices for us as consumers as to where we do business. I order 2 bottles NOW Pro-GH from iherb.com. I received 2 packages Stoneworks Laundry Detergent Pods...? I got on the iherb.com chat and asked what I needed to do to get my product. The agent told me that she had initiated a new shipment of my original order of 2 bottles NOW Pro-GH and to keep the Stoneworks Laundry PODS. It has now been 1 month and I have not received my order.
I understand that mistakes can be made, but I don't understand when they do not follow through to correct them.
Tried to order several boxes of herbal teas. Had so many issues with ordering and having the merchandise shipped to another address. It took me 4 days and nothing was resolved. I paid with IPay, then Paypal and they reported no payment. My bank revealed payment made. I asked for a phone number to speak live with a customer service member and was informed they do not have this service. A disaster. Ultimately, I had to cancel and order from Amazon for a few dollars more and no stress
The transaction I made was accepted by the bank 3 times in a row but I kept receiving mails that I need to update my payment. When trying to update the payment I kept getting error 504 so I had to cancel the orders. The chat support is even more awful, I kept explaining that idiot that I made a 3rd order and he said that it was canceled too. After 30 minutes of "I understand your concern" this idiot thinks to check again and finally sees my last order. But after one and a half hours of apologises and ignoring half my messages I really advise you to stay away from iHerb.
I'm used to receiving my items late from this company (3-4 weeks at best), but this time my order got canceled after five weeks (!) due to a payment processing problem on their end which they never informed me about. I wrote 9 emails to customer service, and 7 times I received generic replies ("Sorry about the inconvenience, please reorder"). The other 2 times they answered somebody else's questions! In general, the iHerb representatives are rude and unprofessional and do not care one bit about their customers. Stay away from this company! It's far better to spend a few dollars more to actually receive your products and be treated like a valued customer.
I purchased a Supplement from iHerb on July 31th and paid via Paypal. I received an Order Confirmation from iHerb along with a Transaction No. From Paypal stating payment to iHerb would not take place until shipping. Their projected date for receipt was scheduled for August 3rd and since I didn't receive it I contacted them this morning and they now state that my order was never completed. The iHerb Rep. Was blaming Paypal for the glitch. They suggested I contact Paypal for resolving this issue and when I contacted Paypal their rep. Stated that their database shows that the order was cancelled on iHerb's end and not theirs. I wasted a week waiting on my order which never showed up plus another hour with online chat trying to resolve - will never deal with this company for my supplements again...
My son girlfriend ordered R26 000 worth of goods from them.
Got into SA and apparently was destroyed! So no product received and still had to pay UPS R7000 to store the goods / shipping.
What now?
Do not order from this company! Did not receive my order in time and I cannot speak to anyone. Tracking my order said my address is unknown! How could that be? And I was not notified about this unidentified address apparently? VERY STRANGE!
Ordered vitamins, never received it. The trackinv just kept saying it was shipped and waiting for courier. Was never informed there was any issue. Already forgot about it and only remembered when checking my bills. After checking with them they said it was never picked up. Had I not followed up, my order would've just been forgotten. No body checks if you received your package. You have to follow up yourself. Terrible customer service. I do not recommend them at all. You're just throwing away your money unless you have time to keep track and follow up your orders.
While placing the order, i chose DHL service for reviewing which clearly showed me the amount of 1389 inr I have the pay at the time of delivery. But I got a call from DHL this morning and they are saying I'll have to pay an amount of 3519 inr in order to receive it.
Why are there such hidden costs involved which you are hiding your customers from? DHL they didn't get any confirmation from their end about the amount stated there as 1389.
So let's be clear, I didn't order from iHerb because their checkout and web addresses were so flighty. And I'm glad I didn't! Next day I had my fb flooding with IHerb ads in Russian. BE VERY WARY of website even if you don't purchase.
Very disappointed. Bought bamboo hairbrushes that were actually mostly plastic. Took ages to arrive and when the box got here they'd used a huge box and filled it with plastic air padding. Completely ridiculous and obviously not at all concerned about our planet. They're just profiteering on the eco trend. Will not buy again.
I ordered Folic Acid 400mcg worth Rs. 415. However, first IHerb charged Rs. 830 more at the time of purchase itself in the name of shipping charges. Then DHL again charged Rs. 1150 more at the time of delivery. So I end up paying Rs. 2000 more for the product which was just for Rs. 415. DHL and IHerb both dupe customers in the name of fraudulent charges whereas all the customs duty charge was only Rs. 124. So Stay Away From Such Websites. Rather use Amazon.in for India. It has all the medicines available on it.
The seller iherb is a fraud company. They charged you DHL custom clearance fee more that the cost of your product which was not informed in advance. Also lots of other DHL courier hidden charges which was not informed by iherb. They tell you later that its unrefundable and if you dont pay other extra charges, they will hold up your goods in hostage and it will start multiplying the cost and will be liable to pay on your part. They threaten you to pay up other hidden charges or else youll loose your item and they will take it for there own use. I had a nightmare dealing with iherb and DHL, order it if you want to experienced yourself else my only advice, stay away from this seller call iherb, Big regret.
Never ordered from iHerb before, but the price was good and the shipping was free... how could I go wrong? Than I read the reviews... wow, i'm in trouble now. BUT, I ordered on Sunday AM the 15th. Product delivered on Wednesday PM the 18th. Correct product, great price, fast shipping... I will shop here again!
I purchased an order from iHerb 18 days ago, I then received an email to state one item in the package had been damaged and I was refunded LESS than what I paid for it! Now I am still waiting for the remainder of the items a week after the stated time frame! Stay away from this company, every response has been a lie and they are not helpful in rectifying their mistakes!
IHERB claims to ship from abroad when they probably have some warehouse in the destination country, and charge you the DHL custom clearance flat fee which corresponds to no real work from their part.
Never buy from outside Europe; just use Amazon.co.uk, where you won't have any surprise with the custom taxes invented by DHL which don't respect the legislations in the destination country.
Even though you can prove it, they will hold your goods in hostage: pay up or else. I told them to **** off anyway.
A racket.
I purchased a product because of the free shipping and the estimated delivery date met my needs. After I ordered it the estimated delivery date slipped by, but no package. After contacting costomer service, I was told to be patient. I still don't have my order and they say the way they shipped it can take up to 4 weeks. That's more than 3 times longer than they advertised at purchase. Stay away from iHerb!
Leveransen i någorlunda tid. Produkten oklart i nuläget men jag fick betala extra avgift när det skulle hämtas ut. Inte Ok.
As with others, I wish I had read reviews about this company. They sucked me in with low prices and discount. Their shipping/delivery people (WHOEVER they are) are not efficient. After not receiving my order when it said delivered I got very grumpy with them. We were here tge day they said delivered. Nope. Anyway, the next day it was here! 9 days after shipping in the same region of the country. And their replies to your email are very impersonal/vague. Website makes it difficult to contact them. Good luck. I will spend a little more and go with a good company. You get what you pay for. Lesson learned.
Answer: Yes, we have a lot of satisfied customers from the UK who have been ordering from us for many years. The only concern is the customs fees that are charged on the order. Unfortunately some customers are surprised about these fees or the value of the additional fees that get assessed.
Answer: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your quick response! If there is a carrier which offers the duties and taxes included then no additional fees will be charged. If the carrier does not state plainly in the cart review that duties and taxes are included, then it is likely that such charges may be required by the local government prior to receiving your order. However, you can email us at appsupport@iherb.com and include the order number and further details. We may be able to look into this matter further. Hope we have helped and we wish you the best of health!
Answer: Dear Valued Customer, We thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide that information simply because we don't make that decision nor receive any of those funds. We recommend contacting the local customs office with such questions as they should be the ones who decide how much based on several factors beyond our knowledge. Please reach out to appsupport@iherb.com with your order number and we can see what we are able to look up in our system. We thank you for shopping with us and wish you nothing but the best.
Answer: Yes, iHerb uses only very reliable delivery services.
Answer: Well dont order from india. When the product will come to your door you will be surprised by the extra custom cost which is almost the price of your product. It happened with me i am from gujarat and i found out later that it happened with many others
Answer: Yes you will be charged extra, they dont make it clear when you place an order, but I was asked to pay an extra £15 sterling before they would deliver my goods to my home, so I refused and am waiting a refund of my order which they now tell me will take up to 6 months, not a good company to deal with, buy from home if I were you, I will not purchase from america again.
Answer: Catherine D. I'm sorry but I have no idea. Iherb is very unreliable on posting things outside US. I would suggest you to search somewhere else for your items if you are not a U.S. Customer. I had problems with not receiving my items, they didn't refund me after chasing them for over 6 months now and came to me with rediculoys excuses blaming UK customs and excise. I did bad reports to different sites to help customers to avoid then
Answer: Dear Valued Customer, We'd love to help but, for the iHerb account associated with the email provided, the last order was placed in December 2023. May you please provide the order number of the recent order so we may help? If this is, indeed, regarding an order placed almost 1 year ago, this has exceeded the time allotted for any claims. However, if this is a more recent order, you may also contact our Customer Support team who is always standing by to assist you.
Answer: Dear Valued Customer, We are sorry to hear this and want to help. May you please provide the order number in this review so we may reference your account? Once received, we will be able to expedite this and resolve the matter quickly. We are standing by and hoping to hear back from you soon.
Answer: Dear Valued Customer, We are sorry to hear this and it looks like an agent was able to assist you and reactivate your account. Customer safety and account security is our highest concern and, although we do our best to accurately identify fraudulent activity, in this instance we fell short. Our teams will continue to work on enhancing every aspect of our operations including identifying risk factors to more accurately identify suspicious accounts. Again, we sincerely apologize and understand the great frustration this must cause. We hope you decide to give us another chance in the future and we wish you the best of health.
