Excellent! Availability. Wide selection. I've shopped with you since 1995 and will continue to do so,. Thanks for your superb service and company!
Good prices on the items, but the shipping and fees are becoming prohibitive, so much so that I could not order again. It is very sad because you are one of my favorite suppliers. I have for 85$ of products, you charge me 60+USD in shipping, and when it arrives here I'm slapped with 45$ in import fees... this is 100+ $ for shipping 80$ products. Meanwhile I purchased a heavier and bulkier product from e-bay at the same time: weight in at 14 kilograms, they charge me 25$ USD shipping and 15$ fees (so I don't have to pay when the package arrives) and it got here sooner. I do not know what could account for such a big difference but you might want to review your options please so I can order again.
Nothing to say but great! I thank you for quick service
Excellent customer service, email responses were immediate. Fixed a shipping cost issue for me. I qualified for the flat rate because of my small-ish order and low weight.
James,
Thank you so much for your order and your review. We appreciate your business.
Website is user friendly and prices are nice. The herbs are a great quality.
Super easy website to navigate, very affordable, yet very high quality herbs and teas. I will be using again!
Genevieve,
Thank you so much for your order and your review. We appreciate your business.
My shopping was quick in finding what I needed. And the prices were of my liking.
Shopping and checkout went smoothly. New to herbs so would like a section for "how to" prepare the dandelion root, as in how to make coffee. Or for a tincture, average dosage, etc.
Thanks!
Great price and comprehensive ordering process Thank you
Everything look good to me. Everything came on time and sealed properly. All products that have ordered are fresh and true to taste.
Well laid out, easy to find the product I wanted, checkout process was smooth. Very nice variety of herbs and spices! Shipping was quick too!
Site is easy to navigate and there are multiple options available for each selection, plus related selections. Prices are great, more economic than Amazon even with the shipping. Huge selection, too. I may be coming back if the quality is good.
Best prices and availability! Perfect for my craft
Really enjoy the tea. Was shell shocked with S&H charges during checkout.
