ReviewTerminal Summary

iHerb delivers reliable products at competitive prices with fast shipping, but faces significant customer service failures in dispute resolution, communication accessibility, and quality control issues that leave dissatisfied customers without recourse.

What customers love

  • Fast shipping and competitive pricing on wide product selection
  • Easy website navigation and ordering process
  • Consistent product quality and reliable delivery for most orders

Common concerns

  • Unresponsive customer service with no direct email contact, automated replies, and refusal to provide documentation or proof for disputed claims
  • Excessive plastic packaging (40+ air pillows per item) contradicts health brand positioning
  • Damaged products during shipping, quality defects (spoiled/rancid items), and unacceptable return policies requiring customers to pay return shipping for defective items
  • Fraudulent handling of refunds: keeping money for undelivered/returned orders, misaddressed packages, and overcharges with no resolution

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU LOG IN

I logged on (as I have previously) but for some reason I ended up on the U.S. iHerb site. Normally I’m directed back to the Australian site, but it didn’t happen this time. I only discovered it when my bank charged me for the AUD to USD exchange. It also resulted in a longer than usual delivery time. It’s water under the bridge now, and I’ll be more careful in future. But it would be useful if the entry portal could flag which site you’re ordering on.
