I've been buying from MHC for a long time and can't say enough about their quality and service
Thank you
Fast, affordable, fresh tasting
Not too much over packaging
Fast delivery and quality products. Friendly, helpful CS.
The website was quick and easy to use the first time, not true with many other websites i encounter.
A shout out to Tina in customer service. She stayed with me until all was resolved. Excellent customer service.
Wasn't easy setting up account. Kept saying I had an account with you, but I only shared an email with you.
Great quality. Fast Service and like that its on the west coast... less energy used to ship.
Fast shipping, great quality herbs, amazing prices! The website is super easy to navigate and the products are exactly as expected. I love this company!
Thank you for allowing regular lay people to purchase from you without a minimum. I've been my own health advocate this year and your company gives me hope in that journey.
With the great prices and quality of Monterey Bay, we are drinking a lot more herbal teas and experimenting with new ones.
Thank you for asking. I don't mean to be ungrateful, but some of the herbs seems extremely low in quality. The dande leaf and arnica were totally brown. I grow herbs and I don't really understand how herbs could look so bad, unless they were super old or handled poorly. I just harvest, dry in a dehydrator, and they maintain bright green vibrancy for at least 2 or 3 years. That's my feedback, again, I appreciate you asking and supplying herbs.
Placed an order as a gift. Order was submitted 3/20 in the morning and fulfilled that same day and arrived in 2 days! I just placed another order today for myself this time.
The herbs have changed my life, it helps me to maintain my body and mind sharp. It keeps me away from prescription medications and keep my body healthy
I continue to return to Monterey Herb Co because they have quality products and excellent customer service.
I'm a regular customer. They give consistently great products and service. I wish every online shopping experience was like this.
Ordering was easy, shipping was quick and delivery on time. Problems with mugwort quality was not as expected- webby and clumpy. Customer service worked well with me and are replacing the product. Fingers crossed!
So far it seemed to go well. (except for the skullcap I wanted was out of stock :( )
I've been dealing with Monterey Bay Spice (Herb) Company for more than 20 years. I've never had a pause. Quality is always A1, service is great, and delivery is prompt even across country. Five Stars!
Ordering is painless, quick and orders arrive in a day or 2. The previous order feature allows me to find my favorites and place the reorder with confidence.
Each and every time i come back to order i am satisfied. Never any issues
Excellent service with a large variety of herbs and roots, so glad I found herb Co!
I've never heard of HERBCO BEFORE AND I'M REALLY GLAD I FOUND YOU. I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND CERTAIN ITEMS ANYWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN MY PREVIOUS SUPPLIER… thank you all so much for offering such a beautiful variety of herbs and spices!
Was great! Very easy to order and got here pretty quick! Will order from them again!
Very easy to order herbs & spices that you need! I have enjoyed there products tremendously.
