Yes, good pricing, all set in UK sterling to lure you in, but as other have said, you get slapped not just with Duty as they are based in the States, but also a large fee from DHL.
I refused my parcel, and then Iherb said they would have to abandon my order as they were not paying the shipment charge back from DHL! Therefore they would not be refunding me! What a rip off, they have my money and are not abiding to internet shipping laws, which states I have a right to return within 7 days! Avoid, you will be ripped off!

Service is excellent. Good prices. Items are delivered so quickly. I have been shopping at Iherb for almost 5 years and never had a problem.

People in India beware buying anything from iherb.com. This online site in India specifically making people mad here. Look at the price which is so attractive however, once you buy they add additional charges by their DHL partner which is more than the product price. Also, they don't disclose the additional expenses imposed by DHL partner anywhere during your shopping with them nor by DHL partner. They only ask money once they deliver the product. I tell you why...

They reach you home and ask for custom duty charges which if you see the amount you may faint after seeing the amount to be paid. AND IF YOU REFUSE to accept the product what they say see it "your additional taxes amount more than the product price hence you will have either to accept the product and pay the DHL Partner whatever they ask you to pay or we will dispose your shipment.

There is no control over these kind of businesses in India by the Government. I am in touch with the legal Adviser so that this site should be banned of doing there businesses here and will strongly get them banned in India.

I would not recommend in my country people should buy anything before having any confirmation of the final price of the product to be paid for the shipment and later on they kind of robbed and spoil there money on these stupid online sites which have a moto not other than naking fool of others...

Best experience ever I had low price and two days shipment by UPS to Dublin, IE. UPS phoned me just few min. After I've eaten my breakfast that they will come in in few minutes and it was that. SHop is Genius great price and fast shipemt together with a broad range of assortmnet convinced me to use them in future.

Tottaly Recommend for everyone!

Very easy purchases, great product lines, reasonable and competitive pricing and super fast two day free shipping. Always a pleasure to order from their store.

I purchased some. Basic baking items from. Iherb (baking powder baking soda vanilla etc) worth usd 50/-. During purchase there was a flat rate of usd 8 for shipping to. India. Obviously. I was pleased and placed my order. I received it in a 4 days however, i was asked to. Cough up usd 41/- as duty charges! For something basic and usd 50 worth i. Coughed up an equal amount in these ridiculous duty, edu cess, handling fees etc which i was completely unaware that it would.be almost 100% of purchase cost! Please don't fall. For their website prices as nowhere they mention even the ballpark. Figures u will. End up paying under duty charges upom receipt. Ripped off for aboit 100 dollars total!, that too in india rupees. Avoid at all. Costs!

If you're shopping from India, please check the custom duties before you order from iHerb.

I ordered Bluebonnet's dual action protein powder from iHerb on 23 September for INR 3269. 33 because they are offering it at a very low price. Five days later, DHL guy arrived at my doorstep to deliver this order and asked me to pay INR 5068 as a custom duty. I denied taking the delivery because custom duty was way more than the product cost itself. Now they will deduct 20% re-stocking fee + shipping costs and refund the remaining amount back. I would not buy anything from this website again.

Update: Now on October 6,2015, I received an email from them saying "Since return cost was $61.93, it was requested for order to be abandoned." Wow! That means I wouldn't get any refund. This is SCAM. I just lost INR 3269. 33 ($49.95) and didn't get the product as well. I would repeat it again - if you're an Indian buyer, stay away from this creepy website.
