Brian, Aussie, anyone ... I am wondering if any Aussies who post here buy their vitamins overseas? I just found this amazing special of Methylcobalamin - buy 1 get 2 free. Problem is that it's Au$6.59 all up (3 months supply) but postage will be over Au$26. I mean really! I'm a bit stuck on the postage aspect.

Just wondering where you all get your vitamins. I usually get other things at the Health Food Store or the Pharmacy but our prices are soooo high here it's unreal.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have an Australian Amazon, Lara? There are supplements on Amazon now at discounted prices. I know there is a UK Amazon.

Some of our Aussie members have used iherb.com
also. I think iherb uses economical shipping whenever possible for their overseas customers.

Hi mrsD

I'm just checking out iherb now. It seems much less expensive for postage.

I'll put some through the checkout without finishing and see exactly what a similar product and amount will cost for shipping plus item.

Thanks.

Well, there are several postage options for iherb.
2 are around the same as the other site but one will deliver in 10 days to AsiaPacific for flat rate of $4. So that's excellent. I will get the Jarrows. The other was Puritan's Pride. Sometimes a bargain isn't really a bargain is it. I used to buy SAMe from overseas years back, but can't for the life of me remember who I bought it from. It was a very reputable product as not all SAMe is the same if you know what I mean.

Thank you!

There is a customs thing in Australia too.

Why don't you PM Brian... he knows more about that than I do.
But I recall him posting about customs limits, etc.

Quantities and dose may be limited for importation.

Weez thanks you for the compliment!

Hi Lara,

For 8 years I have been ordering all vitamins & alot of natural cosmetics from IHerb in california. The shipping is very cheap. The company is very reliable.

Aussie, thanks very much for letting me know.

I had a really good look at IHerb. They have lots of things I can buy including some yummy bath and beauty items and other goodies. It's so much cheaper than buying here and much cheaper than the other site where I had found the cheap b12. I mentioned all this to my daughter and she's used IHerb before and she said the parcel arrived in only a few days.

I actually pm'd Brian to ask about customs issues, but I imagine that for the amount I'd be buying then there would be no problems. I'll look into all that before I go ordering certain things.

Yes, I agree, iherb is really a great place.

At one time you know, it was basically the only source for methylcobalamin, and P5P for me. And they offer those wonderfully discounted prices.

I used to recommend them all the time, but now there are other online sources, so as not to appear connected to iherb in some way I list other choices now as well. I get alot of my stuff now at Amazon, as the $25 free shipping is easy for me to meet.
Amazon is also very competitive price wise for US customers.
