Noticed these pretty tins of tea with good reviews on iHerb and thought they would make cute Christmas presents for tea lovers. Thanks to moksha for pointing out that there is currently 20% off tea.
I then found that the same tins at the AU Harney store cost almost three times of iHerb prices before shipping. Even buying only one tin from iHerb (e.g. blackcurrant iced tea) is AUD 10.35 shipped, compared to buying the same product at AUD 19.95 locally.
Some examples (iHerb's price after 20% off is shown in cart, prices in AUD)
- Blackcurrent Iced Tea 20 sachets - Harney AU $19.95 vs iHerb $6.50
- Peppermint Herbal 20 sachet Tin: Harney AU $19.95 vs iHerb $7.42
- Chocolate Mint 20 Sachet Tin: Harney AU $19.95
vs iHerb $7.42 - Paris Tea Loose 0.4 Oz: Harney AU $15.95 vs iHerb $5.93
- Earl Grey Supreme Loose 0.4 Oz: Harney AU $19.95 vs iHerb $7.67
These are not your Lipton or Dilmah or Twinnings - so yes they are still expensive. Could be a nice Christmas treat for your friends, other half, mum or grandma though :)
It doesn't look like these are items that are prohibited for import into Australia as far as I can see.
As moksha has already pointed out, there is currently 10% off orders over $40. Depending on the number of items in your order, shipping is from $3.60 onwards.
The extra 20% discount for tea "Ends Wednesday, November 26th at 10:00am PT" (Nov 27th 8:00am AEDT)
Cannot be combined with any other discount
