They mailed 6 cans of soup to me…
They mailed 6 cans of soup to me severly dented and damaged from sender address of CA. The box was poorly insulated, packed shoddy. It is is so bad that I cannot tell if they were supposed to be thrown out by a supermarket already head of time because the cans are not usable because the cans are so damaged. Question I am wondering is if iherb company took free ones that were discarded by another food store(s), found it in a dumpster or something, they got them for free? maybe then they themselves were charged shipping cost only, all it cost them and want me to be fine paying full price for it while also doing it to others, same thing, scam? Kind of seems to me that it may be true. I want none of the cans they sent me and do not trust them. You cannot conveniently for them talk to them over the phone. I want to send all the cans back to them asap. Is the principle. I paid them $27 and feel conned. Beware of this company. This company does not want to accept responsibility. Flat out imo, my guess, deliberately lies, betrays people saying as they did with me and is not true that they cannot refund my money because for one reason they claimed they insulated packing it well. Does not matter what the expiration date is on them if the can is damaged. Common knowledge about that. Anyone can ask AI and or google and they will confirm it. The cans dented are deep enough to be a problem. If I known how crooked this company is, was I would never bought anything from them in the first place. If IHerb customer service reads this shame on you for being unprofessional, shady and scuzzy!!!!!!

IHerb makes buying vitamins and supplements easy and convenient. Their product selection is vast, prices are good and shipping is fast. Can't ask for much more than that.

I placed an order on June 6 and used the address and number of a shipping company that receives 100 orders a day from aramex. It's a very simple address that even a 10 year old would understand.
Aramex, being the unprofessional company they are, pretended the address/number is incorrect and refused to deliver my order. Even after i emailed them and told them this is literally the same exact address/number of a company that receives 100 orders from you from different places like amazon, shein etc...
How can you deliver 100 orders a day to the same EXACT address and number but fail to deliver an order having the SAME exact address/number? If they have lazy or illiterate drivers, maybe it's time to hire more competent ones.
iHerb opened a support ticket 10 days ago, twice, but they've been ignoring me since. This was my first iHerb order, they basically scammed me and stole my money. They also cancelled my second and third orders for no reason. (Thank God they did, or else i would have got scammed 2 additional times). No refund, no replacement, no response. I literally got scammed.

I have just received this creatine container. After opening the lid of the product, I noticed that the safety seal has multiple holes in it and appears to have been intentionally tampered with. This is extremely concerning and completely unacceptable. The safety seal exists to protect consumers and ensure that the product has not been opened or altered before delivery. I am very disappointed that a product in this condition was shipped to me. I submitted a refund request, they initially accepted the refund request and then sent another email refusing to refund providing all sorts of useless reasons such as these holes regulate air, and moisture, freshness preservation, pressure regulations, etc. All I know is that the seal has been compromised and this should have not happened. It does not happen with other brands.

Great Experience
I was glad to find a store that carried all the Amy’s Soups I was looking for. With the initial discount, I was able to buy them for less than at my usual grocery store.

I placed 2 orders for my son, however only one is on its way, while the other one was placed on hold. The one on the way will arrive till 10 of August so I did contact your Customer support team, explaining that we need the second order as well to be delivered by 12 of August. The next day we will take our son to a treatment în Mexico, so we will not be home for more than a month. He needs all his supplements. However the team response was that they can't do anything.
I don't understand this holding time.
I placed before 3 orders în the same time, they were sent one day after each other and the delivery guy was able to bring at our door all the 3 packages together.
Why is this time different?
Update, 4th of August:
After putting a 1 star review, iHerb moved fast and my order was received today.

They claim it was delivered 😂
I ordered a product, order number 554246651 I continuously followed the tracking which said it was "shipped" and then "in transit". Then suddenly the tracking said it was "cancelled"! I contacted iherb via their chat bot which was absolutely useless, going round and round in circles trying to get my point across. Eventually I got to the point where a ticket could be raised and I received an email from iherb to say my order was being investigated. The next day I received an email to say the product had been delivered! But guess what...nothing was delivered! I tried to respond to their email and I got an error message saying "no such email exists". The chat bot told me to check my porch, garage, around the house and with neighbours, all done and 100% not delivery!!! This is absolutely unacceptable and I want a refund including the shipping costs...otherwise it is quite literally Theft

A short while go I purchased one product from iHerb.
Now I get emails from no-reply addresses asking for a review
There is no way to stop these emails on their website
If I try to unsubscribe
If I try to login
In fact if I try anything I get caught by their prove I am a human and not a bot - this does not work!! So I have no way to contact iHerb
It has wasted a whole lot of my time
Here is the info requested, now you know what it is like not being able to communicate
Order #:
554048834
Delivered on:
Jul 20
The only help I want is for no more emails!!! Also I feel I need compensation for my wasted time
Well we will see if I get anymore emails or not
It would have been so much better if you had fixed the bugs on your website that would not let me past the I am not a bot process. Then I could have controlled my own preferences. All in all a bad experience from beginning to end one star is too good. Also no offer of compensation! fpr my wasted time
