Ordered supplements from this company. I received the wrong items. They do NOT have any phone support, the live representative option does NOT work and the only way to communicate is EMAIL. This process has been going on since March 26. Very unacceptable and unprofessional. I would like a phone call from the corporate office. No business should operate this way. Consumer beware! This is a consumer protection issue.Business Response

This has been going on since March 26. Many tickets are open because thats how unacceptable and unprofessional your customer service is. Nobody has resolved this, and nobody can ever talk in a live chat or customer service phone call.
I am REQUESTING a call from the company. This is absolutely outrageous that any consumer has to feel like they are jumping through hoops in a situation like this. Serious consumer protection and rights issue!

OnApril 01, 2025 I placed an order for $182.95 containing a variety of grocery, body, and hygieneproducts. I was told that they would be delivered in 2 days. After 2 days I still did not receive thepackage which made me worry greatly as the items are considerably perishable given the weather around the scheduled delivery days was warm. I reached out after giving it 3 more days asking where my order was and was promptly given a link to a shipping tracking number that claimed that the package was delivered. However, upon furtherinvestigation the shipping company told me the contractor they used likely delivered my package to thewrong address and told me to contact iHerb for further assistance. I thus contacted iHerb again after 3 days of no response regarding my order only to have them close my support case with no justification. Furthermore, they only sent generic responses multipletimes with language that made it seem like my packagewas delivered and I was scheduling a return which was completely unacceptable and not the case. I then submitted separate refund requests since support was unhelpful only to have them denied with another generic message claiming that I was submitting a return when I didn't even receive the package. I am SICK and TIRED of being given the run aroundwith my order after multiple times of trying to resolve this through their support. I have to now resort to filing a complaint to get a real response instead of anauto generatedmessage not even addressing my concerns ofmy missing package and the ***** showing the incorrecting delivery address.Business Response

Dear Valued Customer,
Although we'd love to be able to help, due to concerning activity associated with this account, along with the proof of delivery that the carrier provided, we will not be honoring a refund or any other compensation.
We wish you the best of health.

This is completely unacceptable. Why do I have to eat the cost of my order when I didnt receive it and its more than likely that the contractor the shipping company used either misdelivered or even stole the package. The photo youre claiming as proof doesnt even show the correct building and there are not details in the photo that can even give a clue of where the package is.Business Response

I purchased 3 items from the company March *******. One of the items are opened immediately, which was the organic Matcha green tea powder. The tea was very bitter. It gave me heartburn really bad it would not dissolve, the taste was horrible. according to the return policy, I had to submit a return ticket and send a picture of the expiration date and the lot number in I did and I will included in this complaint. They refused my refund saying that they cannot see the date or the lot number which you clearly can see. This matcha is supposed to be quality but it is not. Not able to consume it.Business Response

Description of complaint:My order #****************** arrived with the packaging and the product sliced completely open. Mail lady had it laying on the step of the house. All contents of the Oil of Oregano were missing. I still have the mailing package and product bag as they were delivered. I contacted Micro Ingredients thru the TikTok app I ordered it though. I explained the condition of the mailing package and product package. I looks like someone sliced them open with a razor knife. The part of the mailing bag is hanging on by a thread. Micro Ingredients response was~ I do not have to return the product bag and they are issuing a refund. NOTE~ I cannot return the product bag without their approval. They have to give me permission to return it, along with a barcode scan for the *** or ***** Then recently I noticed that they refused to refund my original form of payment which is my Venmo, stating that they did not receive the product bag back. How does that make sense. I was told by them not to return it, as well as they did not give me permission too return with the *** or **** barcode scan to return it, and then they decide they are not refunding me because I didnt return something they told me not to return. I want permission to return the packaging with the *** or **** barcode scan and I want my full refund of $27.95. Website says- Items returnable if defective or damaged. Micro Ingredients is a verified seller. They also have on their website- This seller is legally required to supply products that comply with the information provided to you. Seller info~ also iHerb and **************** I want my full refund as I was originally told I would get.Business Response

Dear Valued Customer,
We are a little confused by this review as this appears to be for a company called Micro Ingredients when we are iHerb. Also, the order number and email you provided in this review is not linked to anything in our systems. For this reason, we believe you meant to leave a review for another company.
May you please provide the correct order number and any other information if this is, indeed, for iHerb? Thank you.

This is not a review, this is a complaint. The website says you are Micro Ingredients Trusted Partner who ships Internationally for them. That says you are associated with Micro Ingredients. Please provide me with the correct Business Name and Address to contact them.Business Response
Date: 02/27/2025
Dear Valued Customer,
We are sorry for any issues with them. Did you purchase your products directly from their website or through our ************************** website or app? Regarding their contact information, they have a method to contact them: *************************************************
However, it appears this complaint is not about iHerb and about them. If this is the case, we suggest contacting them and closing out this complaint against us, iHerb, as it seems unrelated.
We hope to hear from you soon to help you as much as possible if the complaint is with iHerb.

This is not the same issue I previously reported about. I have makes it so difficult to get a hold of anyone and this seems purposeful. My recent order wa incorrect and contained broken glass. I sent very detailed photos and instead of them helping me or carding that I cut my finger on the glass, they refused to help and want me to pay to return the order which is not happening. You helped me last time, please help now and iherb needs to stops this deceptive practices.Business Response
