Until recently you could get it shipped via DHL and UPS, so you could order larger amounts (some things would not work because the customs do not allow larger quantities to be ordered in a single shipment).

However, you are limited to a 105$ per order now, since you can only ship DHL air mail, or Korean mail. DHL limits the shipment to 80$, Korean mail to $105 and requires your ARC.

There were no limits on DHL before. In fact, some months, you could get a 5% discount for ordering $60 or more and free shipping via DHL if you ordered $80 or more.

If you're ordering a large tub of protein, you're already at almost $50 or more, depending on brand.

Costco in the U.S. sells Muscle Milk and some good protein, but here they sell that chalky Joe Weider protein that no one in the U.S. would ever buy. I wonder how old that stuff is anyway?

I know, their shipping was so much cheaper it made higher prices compared to BB.com OK.
But since a few months ago, max. I can order to Korea is $105 Sad It doesn't let me order if my cart is above, I just don't see a way to do it Sad

I've used iHerb many times. I think it's cheap, quick and easy. Just placed an order from there today, in fact.

Yes, I've been with iherb for 2 years here and they've been fantastic thus far.
I've ordered supplements and beauty products and continue to do so....I find their prices are very low, and shipping to Korea is really good ($4 flat rate up to 15 pounds).

If anyone wants the $5 to $10 discount code here's mine: ZAM598

Super reliable. To be honest, you can buy 6 things of oatmeal online from the US and have it shipped here for cheaper than buying it in any store or Korean online store. Ridiculous! Plus all the extra stuff like raw honey and supps.

Use the code CIH211 to get a $10 on your first order and some shipping discount.

I also get a bit from you using my code. You win and I win! Share your code too and get cash back Very Happy
