no can't import .. looks like its still the same
that international direct they have started is noi the best either.. iherb used that last time with me(similar).. the courier just directed my vitaminB etc to quarantine (even though there was no need to). I got it the next day, but still with a $49.50? quarantine fee for nothing..one gets the fee even if it passes and it shouldn't be sent there. It's just an inspection fee for them having to cut open the parcel as the detailed list of contents is not on the outside.
The courier stated that they automatically direct all parcels marked "nutritional supps" to quarantine, and quarantine said they will intercept parcels marked accordingly!
I attempted to provide a list of items in parcel to courier(and requested iherb a few times too both with order and before the order, but only one reply to email which didn't address the issue at the time) and was never asked for contents list when parcel arrive in Oz as I have been by customs on a previos order.. it seems its automated now!
New iherb owners refuse to detail order on outside of parcel and say they mark all parcel as "nutrional supplements"..iherb used to give a detailed list on outside of parcel, sigh. Now say they are automated.. used to be automated to provide a detailed list...
The courier pays on your behalf and then you have to pay them.
I have exchanged a few emails on this topic with them , LOL.
