      Where do you normally buy your kids supplement such as vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, etc?


      I used iherb, but find that their prices are higher than vitacost for a lot of items even though their shipping charge is only $4.99. Vitacost shipping is $6.99. They ship to you direct so no com gateway, etc charges.

      What do you think of their service?

        I join spree. Iherb seems cheaper for shipping and cost reasonable.

          Iherb shipping is lower but items priced are higher. Actually, iherb and vitacost shipping differ by $2 only, but sometimes, their products prices differ by few dollars. So end up, can save more if order from vitacost.

            Vitacost is having a $10 discount promotion for referral for friends. PM me if you are interested to get $10 off for your purchase. Thanks!

                I have bought from iHerb a couple of times now. Their shipping is very fast - 4 days to Singapore, which leads me to suspect that their warehouse is somewhere in Asia. How much shipping time does Vitacost take?

                iHerb's customer service is not that good, though. I called one time for some info (not a recommendation of any product) and they assumed I was asking about specific product recoommendations. They just replied that they cannot advise customers. That was not very friendly, imo.

                  You have some super ideas! Perhaps I would take into account trying this myself. Thanks

                        I am not sure about the lower prices. After reading this thread, I checked out the prices of some of my regular products on Vitacost. The prices were exactly the same as what I had paid on iHerb.
