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.

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.

Roasted Dandelion Root
February 13, 2023

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 retail site for bulk herbs!
February 9, 2023

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.
