I am a huge fan and use this site to buy my supplements whether I am in the US or abroad. The items usually ship quickly and the cost of traceable shipping is normally between $4 - $8.00. Of course, if I'm outside the US there may be customs/duties/taxes, but that is normal and has nothing to do with iherb itself. I have been using them for 5 years and will continue to do so. I see many comments here by people who are angry because they didn't know they had to pay taxes when the goods arrived--that is very common in international commerce has nothing to do with iherb itself.
