I have been trying to contact iherb for an hour. There is no record of my email or mobile phone yet they are emailing me regularly. There is no one you can talk to and you have to sign in to get a live person. But you can't sign in without your email or phone which they say they don't have. I will never order another thing from this company. It is too hard to get help from them!
The company lacks the most important element - technical support. After purchasing the goods, it makes no sense to contact them, they shift responsibility to the delivery company in every possible way and do not help the buyer in any way. The refund or resending of the goods was refused for the reason that the parcel was allegedly delivered. In fact, no one contacted me, the package is in an unknown direction. I'm trying to find her, but so far to no avail. All Iherb help is in the photo. Order number *******.
Dear Valued Customer,
It seems as though our Customer Support team has already looked into this. However, we are willing to review their decision to ensure that all avenues of help were explored. May you please directly message us on SiteJabber with the order number? Once received, we will quickly work towards resolving this matter.
We are standing by to help and hope to hear from you soon.
I was a loyal customer but they have lost me because their customer service is virtually inaccessible. I am not willing to spend hours (which is how long it was starting to take) to remedy a company's technical issues. I can get all of their products on other sites for slightly more ($1 or $2) with better technical functionality and actual customer service.
I love shopping at iHerb. They have most of the organic products that I am looking for, along with a great selection of vitamins. I order usually once a month to keep my items in stock all the time. IHerb's prices are well below the suggested retail that you would pay at a local store. Besides, it is easy to keep a list and reorder off that list!
My account was hacked and an order placed without my knowledge. Useless customer service. Had to open a Pay pal case. Been 6 weeks and still trying to get a refund. Customer service is terrible and they don't know what they're talking about. Never using this company again.
Dear Valued Customer,
We take account security extremely serious and would be happy to expedite this investigation should you provide any order number or email account associated with the iHerb account. Of course, you can direct message this information here or by contacting our Customer Support department.
We hope to hear from you soon and wish you the best of health.
I am very pleased with all my purchases from iherb! They are the best in the business and far ahead of their competition. No other health food company offers free US shipping over $20 regardless of the weight of your order and free international shipping! I would not comment on the negative reviews since I have my suspicions on where they are coming from. IHerb also has a very nice, easy to navigate website with lots of great products!
Iherb takes your money and does not take any responsibility of your order is not received.
I have spent over $200 and a month later still have not received my orders. Iherb took no responsibility and will not reship or refund. Instead they reply with "contact our carriers"
Their carriers have NO contact info. And it should not be the responsibility of the customer to track their order. It is iherb who hired them. They need to follow up!
There is no number to call iherb nor person to talk to.
Do not order from them unless you want your money stolen
Dear Valued Customer,
We never want any customer to have any issues with receiving their goods and want to help. May you please provide your order number in an updated review or by directly messaging us here on SiteJabber with that information? Once received, we can quickly look into this further in an attempt to assist you as best as possible.
We are standing by to support you and hope to hear back from you soon.
I dealt with the company and bought many things at low prices.
The problem came when they charged me $280 on a $210 order. I ordered in Canadian funds (displayed on the page) and checked out confining the transaction with the bill confirmed in Canadian dollars. Someone there decided(?) to convert the bill to US funds.
People (many it seems) have accused the company of fraud. Maybe. Or just carelessness. Or incompetence. Or having so many customers that they can afford to piss people off.
They have no customer service phone line and the email discussion is mostly "check our web page!"
Amazon customer service is fantastic and the prices are slightly higher.
When a company gets a flood of extremely negative reviews I'll listen in the future.
I would not recommend the company. I never received my order and wasted two days trying every possibly way to get in touch with customer service. I finally posted on Facebook page with a negative review and got a general reply. They use regular post office for delivery so there is really no way to track the items. It said my stuff was delivered and it never was. They say they won't refund money after one time until they receive the item back. Like it would be my fault the item is lost in shipping. I would never take that chance. I would never order from them again. Never did receive my order and I'm still upset over how much Time and energy I wasted just trying to get someone to respond. Terrible terrible. Buy somewhere else.
I have made about 29 purchases between 2014 -2016 and I haven't had much to complain.
The purchases have been 16 - 50. My purchases have gotten stuck in customs about 5-6 times. Usually that's happened when Iherb had free shipping, or when one of the items inside had been around 25. I guess Finnish customs let packages go easier even when their price is over 22.
They usually give little free stuff with the purchases, like pens, magnifying bookmarks and tote bags, which are kinda cute. I had one of the pens open in the package and it had sprayed ink everywhere though.
I usually buy makeup, hair products for curly hair, beauty products, ingredients for flax seed gel, oils and supplements. They once sent me an argan oil that had a rancid smell to it and they refunded my money. I like buying from Iherb because many of the products are usually over two times more expensive to buy from shops in Finland than from Iherb.
I have used them regularly over the past 3+ years to order a wide range of beauty, wellness, grocery & household items. I like that they offer a wide selection of quality products at great prices, plus a highly efficient & affordable overseas delivery service. I have not had a problem with any order so far. Please keep up the good work and great prices!
Package came on time, but turned up with a very grumpy delivery man from DHL Express who demanded I give him £16 for the package. I'd already paid £10.68 for delivery and so was a little shocked and felt like I was being robbed. There was NO mention of this extra cost anywhere! It didn't help that the delivery man was incredibly short with me, when I was very polite to him, considering he just took £16 off me! So I sort of felt like I'd been slapped in the face and robbed by the DHL delivery man. Rude. Not worth the products at all.
I ordered from the uk and believe I was misled about delivery charges. I was asked for an addition £16 by their currier DHL to cover tax and costs to clear customs. Very misleading and they are aware of this as many others have made the same comment. I should have read the reviews before I purchased the product and will never use them again.
For the third time a shipment was delayed because they claimed there was info missing on the address. Last time it happened, after much searching I found someone to help. The package came with the corrected address identical to the original address. This time it was exactly the same situation except the iherb discontinued their real person phone help. I was directed to an automated chat except they wanted my cc number and to charge me a dollar for their help. I will never order from them again. It's just too much hassle to resolve an issue, even an easily solved one.
Dear Valued Customer,
We sincerely apologize for any issues. Please be advised, we never charge customers for support so whoever you may have been talking to, it is not us. We offer 24/7 chatbot support which can answer most common questions, 24/7 email support with an agent, and live chat support during the posted available hours. Please go to our website at iHerb.com or use our app to contact us directly and avoid anyone trying to take advantage of you.
We are standing by to support you further should you decide to contact us.
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!
I ordered iodine, and iodide in two separate orders. And separate companies. Both times the bottles came back with a clear water like solution. I am beginning to wonder about the rest of their products now.
Well done iherb you deliver on time, cheaper than anywhere else even with customs charge. I will always use your company i have no complaints whatsoever. I have only used you twice so far as i order double what i need very happy customer
Once your card is charged, you are at their mercy.
Its is very difficult to get to their customer service, items ordered doesnt arrive by estimated dates, one estimated date over, suddenly there is no delivery date shown as to when you can expect to get product, even though their app shows allegedly product has arrived in your country. And it is very hard to contact them for any info.
Be cautious when buying from them
Dear Valued Customer,
We are sorry to hear of any issues and are glad to help. Also, thank you for providing the tracking information so we could reference this order. After doing so, it appears the carrier has attempted to deliver your order unsuccessfully and is asking that you contact them directly to arrange delivery. This last update is from November 3rd. Please contact them as soon as possible to arrange delivery or to see what is preventing them from completing delivery.
After doing so, should you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team.
I use this site all of the time to order my organic spices, healthy body care items, and essential oils. Not the cheapest price but close (way cheaper than any health food store in my area) and you can't beat the free shipping after $20... Which makes it the cheapest then. Only had one problem and they refunded my money to my card, no problem. They're great in all of my experiences and I order frequently.
Dont buy if you are in India, Because of duty charges cost will double. Also they are not giving any detail about duty payment which should pay by end user.At delivery end user has to give charges to courier agency.
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.
