Simple way was to buy just 2-3 qty per order (of same product). More than that, no idea.
U better consult Bahagian Farmasi & Kastam or go to their website for further info.

Have never purchased from iherbs before, now thinking if I'd buy from iherbs at cheaper price or simply purchase from Shopee/Lazada...

There are 4 supplements/vitamins I'd like to purchase, total price is around RM250 including delivery fee (free delivery actually) via Skynet.

Out of the 4 bottles, 2 of them are the same supplements/brands, other 2 are different brands.

Will I be facing any problem with such orders? It sounds risky to order from iherbs due to the custom check etc.

Appreciate your advice , thanks!

Thanks but little amendments to my order, is it still alright?

- 4 bottles around RM250 still

Out of the 4 bottles, 2 of them are the same supplements/brands, 1 is the same brand of the 2 bottles mentioned but a different supplement. The other one Is completely a different brand/supplement.

Yes, it is still alright.

Okay one is for example, u brought 8 bottles:
1. Vitamin A, 250 tablet Blackmore 2 bottles.
2. Vitamin B, 250 tablet Blackmore 2 bottles.
3. Vitamin C, 250 tablet Blackmore 2 bottles.
4. Vitamin C, 250 tablet 21st Century 2 bottles.

Not okay is for example, u brought 4 bottles:
1. Vitamin C, 250 tablet Blackmore 4 bottles => will be seized

Same Vitamin with same Brand, should be limited to 2 bottles.

I bought 4 same bottles of fish oil (90 capsules) plus another bottle of other vitamin using SkyNet. Never had any issue with Kastam. In fact has been buying for years with no issues as long as don't go with fast shipping like DHL etc.
*
Thanks both - my parcel arrived safely and pretty fast!

I can't seem to access to iherbs MY lately, is it just me or anybody else is facing the same problem?

I have same problem (my.iherb.com/)  in my laptop, until i used another PC to login into www.iherb.com. Then it worked fine in my laptop. Not sure why.

That's so odd! I tried logging in iherbs MY in two laptops, both stated "the site can't be reached". I don't have any PC to try, I hope it will resume working soon!

I think i know the reason.
It is our telco having problem pointing to my.iherb.com
I just try using a VPN to Singapore server and it able to load iherb website.
If you don't have VPN software, you can download the free UrbanVPN.
*
I will try to download the free UrbanVPN you recommended, wanna order for my next supplements.

There shouldn't be any problem if I re-order this month as my recent order was end of Dec 2020 huh?


QUOTE(Dhang @ Feb 5 2021, 07:30 AM)
When you said 'fast', was it like one or two weeks?
*
Around 1 week+, less than 2 weeks certainly.

2 years ago when I bought four bottles of Omega3, I got warnings a few times. Now iHerb use Skynet with max purchase, so it is safe now. No warnings.
*
max purchase meaning 4 bottles via Skynet too? I thought 2 is safer?

QUOTE(Just2centslah @ Feb 8 2021, 11:04 PM)
BTW I have a question. I cannot connect to iHerb website from Malaysia. The site is only accessible if I turn on VPN. Is it okay for you guys?
*
I can't access till now, gonna try download VPN to access iHerbs later.

Can I buy supplements from iherbs again as I just made one purchase mid of Feb 2021?

Since we can use Skynet now, do I have to worry if I place orders too frequent? confused.gif

ps: planning to get a different supplement from my previous purchase.

the purchase amount from iherbs is still limited to RM500 and below right? I'm planning to make purchase 6 bottles (2 of each same brand & item) amounting to RM450++ so safe to proceed with the purchase right?

Hi, I wanted to try buying supplements from iherb because its cheaper than shopee.

But whenever I click into iherb.com, it will redirect me to this website https://ml.iherb.com/

Safe or not?
*
Well, it's the URL I make my purchase though.

I have to use VPN as suggested cuz could no longer access to iherbs after my first purchase... doh.gif

But I have a question tho to others TS... Now buying from iherbs using Skynet still do not have to pay additional tax right? I remember the Govt mentioned there would be additional tax for overseas purchase, has it been imposed? Wanna make some purchase here...

My last order passed thru custom in 09 Feb. Still no tax.
Not sure about the latest rules tho.

thanks for the reply, I did proceed with my purchase too and no additional tax imposed.

But this time items were shipped from HK instead of US.. Guess that depends on the items we purchase?!

anyways, stocked up too many supplements because I thought there would be tax imposed sweat.gif

roughly how many items you guys bought
Do u know what is the threshold of item , RM before getting tax or warning
*
I try to limit total amount around RM300-RM400 each order. I read somewhere RM400++ might be risky but I'm not sure, as long as do not exceed RM500.

I always make sure each item quantity not exceed 2 piece..
