<\/a><\/p>\nThings have changed since the last take on the iHerb Vs Vitacost battle. There’s not many changes that affects US customers, but for international customers there had been many changes.<\/p>\n
Iherb has changed their rewards\/affiliate system (affects everyone), and their shipping rates (international customers).<\/p>\n
Vitacost & iHerb Rewards Comparison:<\/h3>\n
Let’s first see what iHerb did to their rewards program:<\/p>\n
– Removed all the 2-4 tier referrals
\n– Gain referral bonus from tier 1 only. 6% from year one purchases, and 2% after that.<\/p>\n
Vitacost:<\/p>\n
– Nothing has changed. 10 dollars from referral’s first purchase (order value must be over 30 dollars).<\/p>\n
Vitacost & iHerb shipping:<\/h3>\n
Iherb:<\/p>\n
– No more 4 dollar flat rate international shipping<\/p>\n
New international airmail shipping rates:<\/p>\n
Under 1 pound = $4.45 ($2.00 on $20+ orders)
\nFrom 1 pound to 2 pounds = $8.90 ($3.56 on $20+ orders)
\nFrom 2 pounds to 3 pounds = $13.35 ($5.34 on $20+ orders)
\nFrom 3 pounds to 4 pounds = $17.80 ($7.12 on $20+ orders)<\/p>\n
Vitacost:<\/p>\n
– Flat rate $8.99 up to 3.60lbs (previously 3.00lbs)<\/p>\n
Coupons:<\/h3>\n
– iHerb: 5 dollars on orders under $40.00 or 10 dollars on orders over $40.00
\n– Vitacost: 10 dollars on orders over $30.00<\/p>\n
Freebies:<\/h3>\n
– iHerb removed freebies in 2014.
\n– Vitacost doesn’t offer free samples for international customers.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
Thanks to newly tweaked shipping costs, iHerb remains to be best place (in many cases) for international customers when the order value is $20+.<\/p>\n
But Vitacost has many lower priced items, and shipping weights on products are usually lower, so with heavier 3.00lbs-3.60lbs orders Vitacost might be your best bet. Also Vitacost has better campaigns. Buy 1 get 1 for free (or 50%) etc.<\/p>\n
Price comparison between these two has always been hard, and with the new shipping rates (iHerb), it’s still hard as ever.<\/p>\n
As for rewards system. Both have their own advantages. Vitacost has a slightly better system these days IMHO.<\/p>\n
