I ordered on the 15th, expected delivery on the 19th - didn't even ship until the 20th-21st with a 2 WEEK delivery time! Ridicules - they seem to be trying to lure people in with fast shipping dates at are not based in reality, then just brush it off. Customer service responded quickly but with a stock apology and no explanation or offer to cancel order. Also, I shipped to a P. O. Box and they sent via FEDEX - which does not deliver to P. O. Boxes so not sure I will even ever receive this order!

It is now the 21st of March - more than a month after I ordered - and still no product. I have contacted them on several occasions. They apologize, but give no concrete date or answers. Around the 5th time I emailed them they said the package had been "lost or misdirected" and said they had shipped it again. Tracking number they gave was dead - no such number in USPS or FEDEX. I did find they ship via Fedex post which is supposed to end up at regular USPS addresses but so far no luck.

Then they said the package had been lost or misdirected, I told them to just cancel it - they said they couldn't because it had already been re-shipped. That was a lie. I got an email the day after I asked for cancelation with a new tracking number which was dead, then the day after that another tracking number that said it shipped on the 7th which was the day AFTER I asked them to cancel the order.

They are liars and cheats and should just be put out of business. Again - it's more than a month after I ordered and I have never received the order and tracking doesn't show any advancement past the Atlanta warehouse.

Very upset
September 18, 2014

Very upset. I ordered from the Canadian site, but it is an American site and it charges duty and taxes. That was an extra cost I was not expecting.

March 14, 2019

You don't get your order and they don't return your money back.

Ovoid at all costs. Excessive hidden customs charges mentioned nowhere on their website. Buy elsewhere and avoid the hassle.

Dear Valued Customer,

We are sorry to hear you had issues with your order. We never use 'fake carriers' and any issue you have experienced we would love to help. We do not offer phone service as the scope of our business, being the globally dominant eCommerce health product supplier, would prohibit that. We kindly ask that you please email appsupport@iherb.com with your order number so that we could assist you through any difficulties you still maybe experiencing.

Best of health!
