Hi there, long time reader, first time posting. I know iHerb is a popular website people all over Dubai order from, including me and many of my friends. But I noticed the website has been blocked since recently. Would anyone have an idea why they would do so? iHerb really doesn't show or offer anything against the law.

Yes, download a VPN and you shoud be able to use it again. Weird that it is blocked. Vitacost.com is unblocked and sells very similar stuff with same shipping rates.

iHerb comment on their FB page they are aware the UAE website is blocked and regret they cannot do anything about it as that is out of their control.

If you believe a site has been blocked incorrectly, you can contact the Telecoms Regulatory Authority (TRA) and request it to be unblocked. http://www.tra.gov.ae/en/

I can access it, it must have been blocked by Dubai. Working fine from the UK To check if a website is down or being blocked input the url here and it will verify the status http://www.websitenotworking.com/iherb.com

I know! I just ordered last week when I realised I needed to order another item and found it blocked. I just don't understand why they would block it. I rely on iHerb for so many health related things that you really cannot find in Dubai. :(
