iHerb : First Shopping Experience

I came across iHerb when I was searching for Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Miracle Complexion Sponge. Of course they have it at SHINS at Mid Valley, but I thought it to be too pricey, for a sponge! As I looked for alternatives, I found that it's only sold for USD 5.99 on iHerb !!!!

I did not make a purchase immediately, I was browsing, and adding and removing items from my cart for quite some time! I wanted to get more savings on the shipping costs. There are 3 options to ship to Malaysia: 

The rate gets cheaper when you purchase over certain amount, and of course also depends on the total weight. I chose DHL Express as it has tracking number (you can stalk your parcel real time on their website), and my parcel arrived in just 4 days! Cleared the customs pretty quickly as well.

If you're not in a hurry, there's always the cheaper International Airmail option, without tracking number. Personally, I do not feel secured without a tracking number so I'd rather pay a little more, after reading some horror stories about parcels being lost.

Purchasing from iHerb was surprisingly easy and smooth for me. I had some worries on the payment with my credit card but it went through and my items were packed on the same day and shipped on the next! If your payment is rejected for whatever reason, just call up your issuing bank. Currently iHerb doesn't accept from PayPal, which I hope they will soon.

I'm so satisfied that I'm going to make my next purchase soon! 

If you're thinking of making a purchase from iHerb for the first time, you can enjoy up to USD 10 discount (for total of USD 40 and above, and USD 5 off for first order of less than USD 40) by using this discount code: QRR180

Have fun shopping!
