I'm so glad I found your company and look forward to doing business with you.
Love the large selection of herbs and the option to purchase in different forms. I.e powder or leaf. They provide a fair amount of information about each herb, Takes away the guesswork when trying to decide what to purchase. This is a huge plus. This is the start of a long term relationship.

You went above and beyond even when you didn't have to. The world needs more people like you in it. Thanks again for your patience, Kindness, and Professionalism. Rhona Ferguson
Very useful information and good selection. The products were packaged well and arrived fairly quick. They have been very potent too in my balms.
Excellent site layout. Very concise and user friendly.
It is just average average. I did not like having to establish an account for what may be a one time purchase.
Prices are great and the website is so easy to navigate I love it
Great company look forward to building a relationship with them!
Ordering ease is much appreciated. This is my first time ordering with your company. Am looking forward to getting the product. Will be using for teas and aroma therapy. Hopefully will be placing a second order with you after product is utilized. Thank you so much.

Really easy and efficient I really liked the packaging this company made sure my order was sealed and fresh which is very appreciated
But I am really unhappy about the uptick in shipping charges. It went from a flat $8.50 to $32.00 for priority mail, to Alaska. I see thr $8.50 is a flat rate now for 5lbs or less. I had 7 lbs of herbs. I have loved the products from HerbalCom.Com but may need to look at a different resource now or make sure I don't go over 5lbs.

I found what I needed right away. Easy to order, shipped quickly.
This is my second purchase and I am very satisfied with the quality and the shipping time. I highly recommend it!
Billie,

Loren, we love our customers as well! Thanks for your order.

Intuitive site
A bit pricey on some items
Looks like they have great prices and I got exactly what I expected.
I ordered the powered herbs specifically to make jelled cubes for my Herman's tortoise. Chickweed, plantain, artichoke leaf and red clover with agar agar and water.
