Nov 2017 update on iherb shipping cost:  I have just placed an iherb order today November 3, 2017.  You get FREE international shipping now when your order total is US$40!  They use DHL Global mail and my order is supposed to be delivered between Dec 5-15.  I'm hoping that it won't take an entire month and that I will get my order in a couple of weeks in Bangkok.  Will keep you posted

 

So the thing to do is to make up an order between $40 and $46, better to keep it under $45 to allow for exchange rate fluctuations.  You get free international shipping if order >$40 and no import tax or duties to pay if <$46.

 

I did have a good look at the Vitamins Club shops here in Bangkok and the prices are expensive, that's why I have resorted to ordering from iHerb.  I've used iHerb previously in the US, it's a first class ecommerce site.  iHerb is one of very few online sites I know of that will ship to Thailand (Amazon won't, I don't like Amazon anyway, they are getting too big.  Most Ebay sellers ship to Thailand but quality can be iffy).

Here's an update on my iHerb order:

Nov 2: Order placed

Nov 4: Order shipped from iHerb US

Nov 7: Order processed by DHL in US and left for Thailand

Nov 14: Package arrived in Laksi, Bangkok

Nov 16: Order received.  Had to pay 7 Baht

 

All told, took just 2 weeks with free shipping from the US.  I'm happy with that and will order again.
