I purchased an international order which never arrived. I called the carrier and was told that the product couldn't make it through customs and could never be shipped (at other websites they TELL ME THIS BEFOREHAND). I filed a return on the iHerb website, got a success message immediately... only finding I was returned a total of $0.00 and the transaction is complete! WTF! I emailed them but now reading all the reviews, I don't think I'll ever get my money back. This is the most ridiculous online experience I've ever had.
Update: I got an email back from customer service. They say there's a glitch in the system. After a few hours, I got my money back to my account. So I added a star to the rating. I now give iHerb 2 stars.
