You can buy Flax seed in a 450gm packet for about 70bht from Makro in Hua Hin - I use it slightly ground in mixer with a touch of ground pepper 1tbsp a day - in case this helps

iHerb package arrived today - no customs sting and another massive saving over buying locally.

Re: Vitamin supplements
IHerb now has a 3rd shipping option with Rincos/CJ Logistics which seems to be Korea based. At this point it's free under promotion so don't know what the cost will be with them once it's not free. The three options explained below.
Rincos/CJ Logistics: Applies to orders valued up to $60.00 and weighing no more than 3 lbs (1.36kg). For shipping related inquiries regarding CJ Llogistics orders, please contact CJ Logistics Customer Service at 02-0884870 Ext 100-11 or email at cs@rincos.co.kr
Delivery by Local Post Plus: Additional tracking available within the destination country. Complete in-country tracking cannot be guaranteed as final mile scans are completed by the local post. Applies to orders valued up to $100.00 and weighing no more than 4 lbs (1.8kg). For shipping related inquiries please contact your local post.
Delivery by Local Post: Applies to orders valued up to $100.00 and weighing no more than 4 lbs (1.8kg). With this option, tracking is available up to destination country. Due to reduced access within the local postal network final mile delivery tracking will not be available. iHerb is striving towards better visibility with this option. For shipping related inquiries please contact your local post.

Re: Vitamin supplements
Basically, if it's carried by local post, you may or may not get it and if you don't it can't be tracked.

Re: Vitamin supplements
\Welcome to the club. I "lost" 3 packages over 2 yrs. Try the most expensive option. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, ship via Thai post. Once the plane is on the ground, anything can and does happen to it. Lots of sticky fingers at the airport.Using the new postal options I'll give iHerb another whirl as my previous package disappeared on arrival on Thailand.

Re: Vitamin supplements
I ordered last week some tablets with a total cost plus post Bht1,200. I am using CJ Logistics which was only about 30Bht more than Post Plus. Then delivery is scheduled to arrive between 19th and 29th Jan, and I can track so I shall report back after arrival

Re: Vitamin supplements
Just received the below from IHerb. Seems CJ Logistics hasn't worked out for them. I did a re-order and CJ Logistics doesn't even appear as an option any longer. I'm thinking it could be Covid-19 related as Korea is being hit quite hard from what I read. Perhaps staffing problem...no idea.

Re: Vitamin supplements
They want 12.3 usd for local post PLUS to send my itembuksida wrote:Yeah, I paid about $5 for the 'plus' shipping option - we'll see if it arrives.
That kills it dead, cheaper on Lazada and more reliable delivery
Only problem is Lazada often try to sell stuff they don't have.....

Re: Vitamin supplements
Search around on the site (iHerb) - there are different providers of the same products and some have good deals on shipping.
The last thing I ordered was a quarter of the price in Thailand so even with expensive shipping it would have been cheaper.

Re: Vitamin supplements
Yes same problem I received a message to say that the order had been cancelled because of excessive delays but that I could reorder with another shipper. I have done that and using Post Plus delivery now between 18 Feb and 2 March ( I hope) - also got a $5.50 discount from the original order

Re: Vitamin supplements
You'll see a box at check out to insert the code. Note expiration date, although I think they will renew/extend it as it's been valid for a several months now.

I'm trying to buy Nivea Mens after shave balm. The problem seems to be that only iHerb themselves sell that so they dictate price & shipping. Product price is very good 194 baht but shipping is 371 baht local post PLUS.
Even then the wait is 6 weeks and you may have to pay duty on top
It's 440 baht on Lazada and here in 3 days....
Maybe its not the best thing to buy on iherb
But wait, as I write this Lazada have just run out of stock...... Bollocks!!!
Back to the drawing board...
