Been using this business for the past year and I love the service and herbs always top notch
Had what i was looking for. Like that i can use pay pal to check out. The product was described well their shipping was very fast. It was packaged appropriately. Was very happy with this purchase.
Never any issues always can count on the fact im getting a high quality product.
The organic product selection was great! Found everything I was looking for. Price was extremely competitive. I will definitely buy again!
I'm 80 so it was'nt easy TO. BUY BUT I GOT IT. 50 CHARACTERS? WHY?JUS ACCEPT WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU AS THEY TELL YOU. IT'LL BE MORE HONEST.NO MANIPULAIONS.
It is easy to shop and check out. The price of shipping is high though for only two items at 1 lb each. The bags were much bigger than I expected and I greatly appreciate that. The roses are not whole enough to use for decorating as the description claims. They are great for salve making, but are dried and therefore more petal pieces than big whole flowers.
I will order again in the future.
Excellent website, price points, and quality. One of the top spice and tea companies without question.
I have just started my ordering with Monterey bay herb co. The website was easy to navigate and purchasing was easy. I received my order very quickly. I was actually quite pleased with how quickly my order was delivered. I will definitely be utilizing your company in my own business.
On June 1st I placed an order with this company. Later when I checked my email I saw that they'd left me a message telling me to complete my order. Since it was after hours I decided to reorder the same items. The first order came to $69.77. The second order came to $71.85. I didn't understand the price discrepancy. Well, when I checked with my bank on a different matter the subject of transactions came up
My bank listed two transactions not one so I knew something was up. I called Monterey Bay Herb Co. To ask them for a return shipping label so that I could return one of the packages. They refused. They conned me. The shipping is outrageous. Caveat Emptor. RIPOFF!
It was somewhat easier than I thought it would be. Although the shipping was somewhat steep.
I love ordering herbs for my business! Huge variety and the quality is perfect
HerbCo is a very good company. I can always trust their service, shipping, above all product quality.
It would be perfect if they offered flat rate shipping. People need to be able to budget, tightly, so a 10.95 fee, or 10 dollar handling...or twist the carrier's arm for a better contract. They do listen...at least try for lower contract rates and pass savings on to your patrons. That's what we did and our business increased even more.
Looking forward to flat rate! Smile... All the best!
Shouldn't have to complete interest areas.
Was easy to order exactly what I wanted. These went great with my teas that I dried. Gave the tea a good flavor.
Great choices, organic, roots and powder and teas I love choices
Ease and efficiency was present. Didn't have any hiccups in shipping juxtaposed to what's been happening lately. Order actually came earlier than expected and was in great condition. Will order again soon!
Very easy to navigate site and search for products. Very good selection of items.
I'm glad I found a place to get bulk tea that can also be organic for a good price!
This site is easy to navigate and has A wide variety of herbs, spices and just about anything you want along these lines.
