I also read that if you use DHL, they will likely open up your package to check the content and if you have supplements, they'll hold it. I want to buy spirulina and fish oil from iherbs, just a bottle each but now i'm confused - should I opt for non-tracking free delivery or should i pay for DHL only to risk confiscation?

If anyone has experience, please share which is better or at least has a higher chance of skipping the scrutiny of MOH/customs. Thanks.

Regardless of which courier you use, if you order just two to three
small to medium size bottles at a time, they will usually let it go.

I introduced this woman in my office to Nature's Best UK some years ago.
She had no problem bringing in their glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate,
quite big bottles of 180 too, around two at a time.

She then bragged about their really cheap price to some relative or friend
who then conveniently asked her to order extra bottles.

Without thinking, she promptly ordered 4 bottles, which were all confiscated.

If you order several bottles of the same product at a time, they will think
you are some distributor or retailer.

Thanks for the advice. Will make sure to only buy 2 bottles at a time. Hope they'll be no problem.
