I bought Lycopene thru iHerb.com and use the normal post without tracking and all that. It was delivered about 3 weeks after ordering without any problem with customs.

Then again, I don't know about spirulina.

How much was the total of the items you bought?

I recently bought from iherb.com for the 3rd time and it took almost a month to be delivered to me. Had some probiotic supplements, pet food and pet shampoo but they declared everything as supplements for personal use. The last 2 times I bought from iherb.com, took less than 3 weeks to be delivered and it was purely supplements only.

If order from iherb, please pay little bit of shipping using the DHL because the free shipping without tracking is dangerous because I had bad experience of missing parcel. POS Malaysia HQ now under renovation, many missing parcels happen. All international parcels must arrive at HQ first, so you understand what I mean.

I actually read and heard that DHL is more strict with the customs declarations compared to the free shipping.

There was once they had a promo for the supplement that I was taking. 4 bottles at a lower price, so I bought 4 one shot.

Didn't have any issues with the customs though. But it's still best to not buy too many of the same product.

Yea, the cheapest postage method. Have purchased from iHerb few times already using that postage method, so far no problems but sometimes need to wait very long for it to be delivered. Have bought all sorts of stuffs, from supplements to shampoo to dog food.

From what I read, if you use registered one, sure kena tahan and kena taxed.
