Kiss iHerb's $4 Flat rate shipping to Thailand bye

[wondercul]

"paying forward with a little 20 or 40 or 50 baht tip also expedites my deliveries"

How do you do this ? I not see this option in the order form ?

Bahahahahaha. He's talking about tipping his local postman in advance.

In other news, yesturday I received in Bangkok a $57 order, with discount came to a shade under $50. Medium size box, small enough to fit in most postman's containers.

It came in under 2 weeks. One of the $13 items arrived rancid, probably due to being stored in very hot conditions. From my previous experience with iherb customer service, i don't hold my breath for getting any store credit.

Still, shipping was just $3.56 !! Amazing.

I've always gotten credit with iHerb. Don't even need to send photos. Contact their live online help. They seem to just hand out credit like nothing. SOmetimes they will reship something if you're lucky.

I got a reply asking for a photo. Clearly from someone whose English is their second language. They obviously didn't understand the problem. You can't negotiate with stupidity.

This was a heavy box but small and I am so grateful for this company . Nothing at Boots like this and to buy the same thing from grey market at MBK ( which you can find ) would have been over 4000 Baht . This is quite amazing however they are doing this . I am grateful to IHerb and Thai postal service for helping me so much with something that for many years took lots of effort and cash with limited success . Wow hope this is the new pattern for all of us !

So little over a week with less than $4 US shipping . IHerb but in small box ( thank you )

This is great small orders / boxes and make sure they are under 50 buck orders . Thank you IHerb and postal service . No more grey market overpriced vitamins at MBK and questionable pharmacies around Thailand .

Calling someone stupid because they don't understand English is really asinine. Perhaps you would be happy if Thais called you an idiot every time you tried to interact with society without fluency in Thai ?

Thai written in Thai. I've done it for the past several months and have zero charges. They only use Thai post. No couriers after its in the country. I think they might have some kind of deal with fedex. My boxes have been steady at about 7-10 days since the higher shipping. However, two boxes i ordered in November just arrived in The end of march. LOL I wonder how many people had that issue.

Just made order for things very challenging to get here in these dosages and prices . So grateful for iHerb and Thailand allowing orders to be received . Most orders take less than two weeks lately and at such good shipping prices, the key is to make multiple small orders not large ones

Supplements do work. I have proof in my own dogs. One dog needs vitamin E - without it the soft outside of his mouth hardens - he has some kind of deficiency. I have basically cured my Pug's terrible skin problems with fish oil, Oil of Evening Primrose & Coconut Oil. It's not their diet. They eat better than I do & lots of veggies. And yes I take supplements myself - from I -herb / but not too many. I try to eat healthily also

I normally order from Vitamin World with no issues but just tried sending an order and they wouldn't post 2 ml liquid bottles of Iron saying cannot ship to Thailand.

Whilst looking for shipping rules this company popped up. I have been spending way more than I should. I've sent my order to i Herb and have saved over 50% shipping was only $4 the other was $31 shipping. Pretty chuffed.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE (as quoted from Professor Farnsworth (Fururama) )

!!!!!!!!!!!

The $4 flat rate is BACK! I have literally placed over 25 orders in the last hour. I'm concerned that it's some kind of computer glitch and tomorrow it will be gone.

Get your butts on there and order your heavy stuff quickly before it goes away!

I have ordered hundreds of Iherb packages, keep them all in the $50-$69.99 range and I haven't been charged on the last 30-40 or so packages this year. Customs rate when they do catch the box is typically in order of likelihood, 7 baht (this actually happens about 30% of the time but I mostly ignore that), 490 baht, or ~780 baht if you do a larger order close to $89.99 and if it is heavy. I think $4 flat rate is back, and KOH299 is a discount code if anyone wants a coupon for $5 off, that takes care of shipping.
