And DON'T order from bodybuilding.com

I sent in an order over 2 weeks ago... and still waiting. While my iHerb orders usually only take 3-4 days.

It didn't ask for my ARC number last time I ordered. Maybe it's just for new accounts.


PS. Use code KOL914 for a 10$ rebate on your order. If you order more than 60$, you get an additional 5% discount. Shipping is free to Korea on orders over 40$. I paid 4$ for shipping by DHL for my last order because it was less than 40$.


You just put it in once on new accounts. It's added automatically subsequently.

I got my order yesterday, a couple of bottles of Nature Made multivitamins and some creatine (1kg is cheap, but it's too much, the stuff turns rock solid by the time I'm down to the last 1/3). The vitamins are quite good, easy to digest (not like the Kirkland vitamins. Bleurk).

For creatine, I've switched over to the chewables. Ultimate Nutrition's are easy to keep in my bag, and the grape tastes decent. That way, with them being pre-bonded to carbs, you're not scrounging for some juice to pound it back with.

I tried the free DHL Global shipping from iHerb this order and it's been two weeks and still waiting. Live and learn.

Good idea. The creatine I buy is very fine (Jarrow Formulas). I just mix it with half a cup of water.

Strange, mine took about 8 business days. I guess it's hit and miss. Probably depends on the amount you order, too.

I just got an email saying that the free Korean Postal shipping for orders over USD60 will end 31st Dec. They will start charging from 1st Jan.
So please put in your last minute orders now!

(BAP895 is the code to get $5 off any order under $40 or $10 for orders above $40!) http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=BAP895
Extra 5% off orders above USD60

The code above looks a little shifty. Far better to use the following: ABI474

Very Happy

There's a special place in hell reserved for people who participate in multi-level marketing. Right beside the Pyramid Scheme Pigpen. And... iHerb doesn't deliver there.

Ok, got a complaint about these guys. It's not big, but semi-frustrating.

I sent an email to their customer service asking if they'd carry a product not listed - Muscletech's CellTech.

Their reply was a copy/paste about orders being slow.

I sent it again.

Their reply was a copy/past about out of stock products.

I sent it again complaining about the copy/paste-ing.

They replied and told me to contact [email protected]

So far, 2 copy/paste replies.

WTF, I sometimes wonder if anyone actually works for this company.

I e-mailed them to ask why their prices were always higher than Vitacost's. The answer I got was "I don't know."

I e-mailed them about stocking a larger size of a product and I got a quick response saying they'd look into it. I haven't ordered since then, so don't know whether they are stocking the larger size or not.

More like max. $80, since $80-$105 means Korean post, which requires a hoola of information from you as if you are importing a ton of apples (well.. they're worth more than an average car Very Happy)
