Free delivery to Singapore with US$60 purchase from now till 31 Jul 14

I had been waiting for some promo from iHerb for weeks as there were some stuff that I have been eyeing for a while. However, I couldn't resist and placed an order last week on 13th Jul.

As luck would have it, 3 days after I put in the order, I saw a promo from iHerb - free shipping with minimum purchase of US$60. While shipping fee is already very cheap, I am peeved to have missed the promo by 3 days!  The only saving grace is that delivery was super prompt & reliable. I received the package today, just in 5 working days !

Anyway, if you are keen to try, this is probably the best time. Now through July 31st, all customers enjoy free SingPost shipping on orders over US$60.00!  http://www.iherb.com?rcode=HQT301

Anyway, here's my loot:

Beautiful brushes to replace my current ones.

Created by actress Alicia Silverstone, EcoTools provides environmentally friendly makeup brushes, applicators, makeup cases and other products that are earth-friendly and cruelty-free.


A retractable Kabuki brush .. great for travel so I need not put my brush into a zip lock bag

Protection is important, especially when I am spending much more time in the sun with Cayen
A $1 promo - Organic balm that can be used for little bumps and bruises




A purple Totz toothbrush to motivate Cayen to brush his teeth more diligently

Tots Organic Apple Juice .. while we are trying to give Cayen fresh fruit juice, this is useful when we are on the go

Taxes when buying iherb from Singapore

A common question on GST .. 

(Answer extracted from www.iherb.com today
  • There is a 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied on all goods imported into Singapore.
  • GST is calculated based on the CIF value of the goods plus all duties payable. GST relief is granted on goods (excluding liquor and tobacco products) imported by post not exceeding SGD $400.
  • When the value exceeds SGD $400, the entire sum would be subject to GST.
In any case, if you want to pay only $4 flat shipping fee via Singpost to Singapore, then your value of purchase can't exceed $200 or 6.35kg. So if you keep to this threshold, you will not need to pay GST. 

Btw, if you are first time customer, receive $10 off 1st order of $40 & up, or $5 off on smaller orders, when using code: HQT301.
