Depends on when you buy it. They usually have sales or discount codes so it's generally cheaper. If you're a first time buyer, you can also use someone's referral code for 25% off. Shipping is 20 british pounds if i'm not mistaken.

Let's see, 2.5kg x 3 pouch:

Items (3)£103.47
Delivery£0.99
Promotions-£36.21
MP Points66
Promotions Applied
SUPERCHARGED PAYDAY DEALS: your 35% off everything

Google rate is MYR 385.80, for 7.5kg of protein. Even a 5kg from MMC to Kuching cost me about RM 430, roughly.

Tempting but again, is there any tax and will the item detain by custom? I received a warning for fish oil that I bought from iHerb once. Then again ordered same fish oil from eBay, reach home last time. Ordered few items from iHerb to Miri, no problemo. Bought few times of supplements from bodybuilding.com shipped to Kuching and Miri but no issue.

Now... I'm confused.

If your total is below RM500 technically custom cannot tax u for gst. So i usually keep my orders below that. But about detaining, you may refer to my post on this thread and other ppls experience. I think really depend custom mood that day if they want to detain or not. It's a mystery. I'm tempted to try again, if kena detained again then maybe I have to say goodbye to MP.

Ah, no wonder my bicycles got detained. I'm not worried of the detain but more worried of the warning letter for supplement. Bought 7 bicycles from Italy, 2 sent to doorstep, and 5 need to self collect with 4 taxed and 1 isn't. Random and luck. laugh.gif

I think those pill form stuff they might be iffy about. I wished they were more clear about why they are detaining or why are they issuing warning letter in more detail than just issuing that to you simply because. If you want to be on the safe side, just order protein alone. You can just tell them is milk for gym ppl if you kena detained lol which is what I told them in layman's term coz they didn't seem to understand me first time round. They probably thought it was steroids powder or something.

Perinatal fish oil for my wife. The thing is:

1) Ordered from iHerb to Kuching address; sending in tracking but item hasn't arrived after 30 days. Contacted iHerb, and they offer refund. I was like "fine then."
2) Since I really want it, ordered again from eBay. Time passed by, item arrived at Kuching.
3) Few weeks later, wife told me got parcel and warning letter for importing supplements without licence. Can go to jail or fine bla bla. A letter for last warning.
4) I keep repeat ordering things like green tea capsule, caffeine tablet, a shaker, even a deodorant from iHerb, but goes to Miri.

A new definition of buy 1 free 1. tongue.gif But my "bodybuilding" supplement never got any issue despite the "Bodybuilding.com" printed at the box. I guess Miri mail center aren't "busy body" like Kuching mail center.

Anyway As for Myprotein UK, why does the shipping to Malaysia sometimes GBP 0.99 (for standard delivery) then sometimes GBP 14.99 (tracked delivery). No other option, but randomly between these two? The shipping fees auto calculated and no option to change shipping.

A glitch from them or a glitch caused by my shitty connection?

Shipping worldwide is pretty standard. Customs will detain if they feel the items u bought r more than rm500. Show them the receipt n they will let it go. Iherb is on pharmacy blacklist so don't bother buying. Basically any supplements can be detained. But food supplements like protein powder etc r ok. They don't go through the pharmacy enforcement but may be subjected to food clearance dept

Ah... No wonder. Any reason why? The licence to import or there's a case last time?
