I ordered ******** The first bottle leaked and was discarded. I went through an unwieldy customer service process and finally was issued a second bottle. Well, the second bottle just arrived leaking again. As requested. I sent a picture of clear liquid on bubble wrap. After the first fiasco, I suggested that tape be put around the cap to ensure that the product would not leak. Of course, that did not occur. The customer service process is lacking as is the care of the products.Business Response

Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for providing more information. After looking further into this, this order was placed 6 months ago and is no longer able to be refunded. However, we can see that our agents have offered you Rewards Credit (store credit). This is the only option we are able to do. Should you accept their offer, Rewards Credit is typically available for use within 48 hours after being granted and is automatically applied on orders during the checkout experience.
Please respond to our agents and they will support you further. We hope we have helped and wish you the best of health.

5/23/2025 ordered 2 items. Order # ********* in the amount of $16.51. Because of poor packing, brown paper on top of items, nothing in between items in the box. The bottle of nutmeg must have continually bounced again the can of Hibiscus sugar, denting the latter severely. I want a replacement for the dented can of Hibiscus sugar but cannot request via iHerb's website via chat bot or email because I checkout out as a "guest" not establishing an "account" with them which I still have no interest in doing. iHerb does not list a consumer email or telephone number to contact them. Unexceptable!Business Response

I wish to return the product for a full refund. However, your instructions for returns and refunds are unclear, and my initial request for a refund was rejected.I am now unsure how to proceed.I am a buyer from mainland ***** and request that you contact me in Chinese as soon as possible to resolve this.

I ordered three items. They were due on May 18th per the website. The 18th suddenly turned into the 19th and still, I had no carrier information and was provided a fake carrier tracking number. It's a number that does not correlate to any business. Then the fake tracking showed it was to arrive on the 20th of May. Never showed up. Then the 21st. Never showed up. They have no email address or phone number and customers can only contact through their website. I requested a refund for the items I did not receive and were never shipped from ** to **. They wrote me via email and denied my request. Completely unacceptable. They owe me a full refund for products I did not receive. Had to get my credit card company involved. Never received the item, they have no email address nor phone number. Extremely sketchy.Business Response
