Shipping Policy

1. Certified Mail (Averages 2 to 3 weeks) -- Delivery through international postal system. Signature required.

2. Express Delivery (Averages 3 to 10 days) -- Delivery through DHL, UPS, USPS, or other transport company with express delivery services. Signature also required unless previous arrangement is made with the shipper.A physical address is required.

Depending on the point of original of the products ordered, the Express Transport vendor is usually DHL, UPS, or USPS. The customer makes the decision as to which method is used at the time the order is placed. On small packages, it is much cheaper to choose Certified Mail; however, rules can vary. For example, on packages shipping from Ecuador that are over 100 grams in weight, the costs may be quite close, and in some instance, it is cheaper to Express the package! If you are ordering products that will be ship from within your own country, there is usually little reason to pay extra for Express shipping --- if there is much of a cost differential at all.

Labelling Variances: Because we ship our products internationally, we have a broad range of regulations to take into account. You MAY receive a product that has a label that is not identical to one shown on the product page from which you purchased. For example, Cansema is our U.S. registered trademark for our topical escharotic preparations. It has been widely used illegally by counterfeiters, as we have, from time to time, alerted the public, causing us to generate an "authentication page." Because so much of this product is adulterated and mislabelled, often with the ASSISTANCE of the FDA, we went ahead and decided to use alternate labelling for our Cansema products.

Normally, we email a notice to each customer where a "label variance" has been employed. Nonetheless, if you receive a product about you have questions, relative to your actual order, we ask that you write to us at support@herbhealers.com.

No shipping to certain countries: Excluded countries fall into two categories:

1. Countries to which we will not ship to under any circumstance include the following, with the reason given parenthetically : Nigeria (package confiscation and fraud), Panama (package confiscation and fraud), and Brazil (package confiscation).

2. Countries to which we will ship to, but ONLY via Certified Mail -- not Express: . . . Canada, Russia, and Israel.

Shipping Quotes: For retail orders, use our sales sites to get your shipping quote. You do NOT have to enter your personal or payment information in order to get a postal (shipping) quote.
