AVOID IF OUTSIDE OF THE USA
I have been ordering from allstarhealth over the last year and at no point was I charged any custom fees until recently. My last order was held ransom at the post office until I paid a custom charge which meant I could have ordered the product for cheaper within the UK. Surely, the local post office fees can be clearly stated on the website before ordering as this is very misleading. Particularly when it comes to shopping search engines as they come out as being the cheapest. I did email customer services who just sent me a disinterested and scripted response.

Hello AR, I apologize that you were charged additional fees on your order. We are upfront about our international policy regarding customs, and always encourage you to check with customs prior to placing an order. At the time of checkout there was a disclaimer that you had to check and agree to before your order could be processed. It stated: ***IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING INTERNATIONAL ORDERS*** Shipping and Handling charges on your order do not include any import taxes or duties that your local customs office may request upon delivery of your order. Please note that due to current customs restrictions, some nutritional supplements may not be allowed through your local customs office. Please contact your appropriate customs authority if you have any questions about restrictions on the products you ordered. All shipments that do not clear customs will be abandoned. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds for abandoned shipments. We will write the actual value of your order on the customs form attached to the box. Any customs, import duties, or additional taxes must be paid by the recipient. AllStarHealth.com has no control over these charges. Please contact us at 001-714-698-0564 and we will attempt to recover the items that were not allowed into your country. Maybe we can do that and get you a refund for what is recovered.
