Cheap Vitamins etc?

Ted, or anyone who bought from iHerb from UK - could you advise on which delivery option I should use? USPS - First Class International: $12.00 - no tracking number but the cheapest, or the next one up
'UPS - International: $29.63', which is over 8 GBP more? Thanks

I always use USPS , first class international.

To get a $12 post & packing charge you must have ordered quite a bit. This will take you over the £18 level for VAT charge, this would not be so bad but they will also charge you a handling fee for collecting the VAT.

I would break the order up into smaller amounts and therefore have several orders each under ~£18 total cost. I appreciate that you will be spending more on Post and Packing but the saving on VAT + Handling charge is worth it.

I think the option of using Carriers is there for those people who like to "Track" their order but I don't think it's worth it. I haven't "lost" anything from USA yet but I expect there will be a first time. However by then I will have saved more money than I could potentially lose in a single order.

Don't forget I've a referral code than may save you $5 if it's your first order it also gives me a 2% (of your discounted order value) credit against my next order. WAB666
