iHerb and transactions in AUD

Oh damn! I placed an order last week! I would prefer Aus Post as I hate dealing with the couriers they use. Organising redelivery can be a pain in the butt!

Yea I would prefer dealing with aus post because it’s easier to pick up if you miss it, but that said I haven’t had a problem with dhl, the guy usually calls before he comes or tells me to leave a note just incase he misses us

I’m still testing it out, I think weight makes a difference. I was testing it initially with 1 item in my cart. I’m still not sure which is best, maybe I’ll just have to place an order and see 😉

Are your carts empty? I’m getting $11 dollars for 1.7kg while dhl is still $8 for that weight

I placed an order last night and found the same thing, DHL was a few bucks cheaper. Mind you, I ordered heavy stuff like oils, Aus Post might be cheaper if you’re just buying make up brushes.

Hey sorry not really on this topic but about iherb because I don’t know how to start a new topic. Anyways anyone realised that the $4 shipping option isn’t available anymore, instead there’s direct aus post shipping which is more expensive then dhl, kind of bummed though, I used the $4 shipping option often, and now I’ll have to pay at least $8 regardless of weight 🙁

Hi *dream-angels*, we’re unable to start a new topic on the weekends (to stop spammers!), but if you are asking, How Do you Create a New Topic, during weekdays,
Go to the ALL FORUMS tab – on the RH side
Click on which forum type you want your topic in (Talkback, Help! I’ve got a beauty dilemma etc)
You’ll then see a tab on the RH side, underneath the pages, in a black box CREATE A NEW TOPIC
It currently says ‘no new forum topics can be created until further notice. ‘, but I think this is only displayed on weekends and maybe after hours on weekdays – not sure as I’ve only ever created 2 topics! But try through the day during the week and see if it works then.

Ok thanks I think I tried once a while back and got that no new topics can be created until further notice so never gave it another try, but now I know for next time if ever needed. I guess that’s how they prevent spam, which is great

Here’s a pic

sweet_addict, is this in Aussie dollar? I usually pay DHL shipping around $8.50something in Aussie dollar.

I go to au.iherb.com for Aussie $ and rates.

I think I’ll take another look on their site and see what rate I get 🙂
EDIT: I just checked on au.iherb.com and I’m getting $3.98 via Australia Post and $8.85 for DHL.
I’m liking this A Post idea because it says 5-8 days and it’s trackable. Sounds good to me.

Are you sure the Aus post is more expensive than dhl? It’s $3.60 (inc tracking) which is the cheapest I’ve seen on iherb regarding postage costs
