August Haul 2 - Drugstore and Iherb

There was a 20% sale on selected brands at drugstore.com so I decided to do some shopping and had it shipped via Vpost. 1 week later, there was a 20% sale storewide. Urgh.


When I received my goods, I realized that my Covergirl eyeshadow was damaged. I was quite upset with the way they packed their goods as the items only filled up 3/4 of the box with room for items to be shifted around during transit. Since it only costs US$4.99, I thought I would just clean it up and used it and at the same time, to feedback to them on their packing methods.

Their replies were prompt, professional and courteous. I am totally impressed with them. They do not have a fixed customer officer to reply me, so I actually have "spoken" to 3 of them during my email correspondence within 2 days. One lady sort of blamed it on my Vpost forwarding service as she claimed that they would have check the package before delivery and there was no feedback of any damaged items then. The other 2 male officers were more polite and actually opted to refund me the money since its not cost-effective to send me the item. Cool! A real customer service attitude. I like! ( except for that lady, of course )

Intelligent Nutrients Harmonic Shampoo US$22

My very first Iherb order, from Iherb which is an excellent site for fans who are into organic and natural products as the prices in Singapore are highly marked up. I opted for DHL which had my items delivered within 5 days. Iherb packaging is way more professional than drugstore.com as each item is individually kept in a transparent ziplock bag to prevent spillage. All the items are packed in one compact box too.

Hi Audrey,
Nope, its a direct delivery mode from Iherb. There was a shipping promotion during my order, with 33% off if purchases totalled up to US$120. So I paid around US$12 for the shipping charges. My total purchases is US$123.52

Btw, I ordered some GNC products from drugstore.com before because its still relatively cheaper than our local GNCs. They have GNC promotions every now and then.

Happy Shopping. Cheers
