The quality of the products I received are well beyond my expectations! That combined with the price and quick shipping makes it a no brainer for me that this is going to be my go-to supplier for all things herb related!
Cheapest place to purchase herbs at an excellent quality with quick shipping times!
Today went quite smoothly but when I was trying to place my order a few days ago it was extra slow and my cart wouldn't show up multiple times.
Ordering is very nice and simple. Also I like the pictures of the products. The quality of the products is excellent.
The only thing I don't like is the high cost of shipping and the high threshold for free shipping.
We got exactly what we ordered, everything was packaged so nothing got air to it, good quality spices, will definitely order again.
Massive bags af tea. I was pleasantly surprised to open the shipment and find massive, fresh beautiful tea. Your online store is very easy explore. I will always buy from Monterey Bay Herb Co.
It was easy to find my products. Plenty of organic options!
I have bought spices and teas for years through you guys and it is always a great experience. I like the variety and I feel like I discover something new to research on the side every time I place an order.
Easy ordering process. Lots of helpful information provided regarding the herbs. And I also like the related articles found on their website. I feel like they really care about their customers and want them to know more about herbs and how to use them to improve our health.
In the past I had an issue with a product that was either of very poor quality or had been mislabeled because it clearly was not the actual herb or of characteristic quality I know from 20 years of consistent use, but instead I was given the runaround and treated rudely, and only after a month was finally given a refund. I also gave that Reishi product ((it did not look or taste like reishi powder) a poor rating on the website and when I looked for my rating more recently I did not see it listed on the site which seems very fraudulent if the ratings are being manipulated to only being higher ones than what actual users give it. I'm only buying again with some hesitation because the prices are very reasonable and crossing my fingers that there won't be any problems with the quality. I would likely be buying more often from Herbco if I never had the previous quality issue and more recently didn't see the ratings manipulations..
Momma ordered spices from you for our family for decades. Now that she has passed, I'm ordering for my children and grandchildren.
Originally ordered the organic but was notified you were out and I would be getting a credit. Would have been nice had they suggested substituting the regular Butterfly Pea Flower.
Only shop here, great prices, great quality products.
As I learn how to work with herbs and spices, I am glad to have somewhere to order these items from. I have ordered thing in the past as well including some dried orange blossom petals and lavender blossoms which worked out perfectly for my sisters wedding. Monterey Bay Herb Co. Has become one of my go to places.
We order from here a lot, and it has always worked out good for us.
We have found the quality to be excellent and the delivery quick and easy.
Everything about Herb Co (Monetary Bay Spice Co.) is wonderful! The product is consistent, ordering is a breeze, delivery is swift, and the cost is very reasonable!
Excellent product and excellent service! I wouldn't purchase anywhere else - I am a Monterey Bay Herb Co customer for life!
Nice to have an alternative to Walmart and Amazon when it comes to herbs, but with all things being pretty close to equal, the bottom line still rules for old-timers eking out a living on a fixed income. If you can make some kind of accommodation for people like us, you'll have steady customers. But again, sorry to say, all things being pretty much equal, the bottom line by necessity will always rule. And excessive S&H is the deal killer.
Also, Watsonville USPS did not keep delivery status up-to-date and left us wondering. And have received emails asking for some kind of feedback that led nowhere, links invalid, page expired, etc. Not good.
Greatly appreciate the full story pages, contain lots of useful information but could be even better. For instance, on how to actually make salves and tinctures with comfrey, say, or calendula. The wife buys boxfuls of calendula cream--all the way from France! Leaves the tubes all over the place, and I'm sure they cost a pretty penny. Drives me crazy. If she could make something on her own that was more wholesome and affordable, that would be a great help.
The pictures and info on the regular page are very nice, and the site is pretty easy to navigate. May be the best of its kind. Sure beats buying the stuff on Amazon. Ugh! The thought of putting money into Bezos' pockets makes my skin crawl.
Montery Bay Herb Co. Has a wide selection of herbs and spices with good quality and reasonable prices. I always get my herbs in a timely manner.
Monterey Bay Herb carries a great selection of herbs/plants, even items that are difficult to find elsewhere. The quality of the herbs is good. The only issue I have is that availability is not always great - there is at least one or two herbs needed each time that are out of stock, and this last time that I ordered there were three herbs that I needed that were unavailable. Other than this, I love the company and product.
I've bought from Monterey Bay herb company for many years but recently, their shipping prices have been pretty high so i try to only order when I have enough to warrant the expensive shipping.
I like the products this company sells; it helps with my business. The only thing I would prefer is lower shipping prices and when a product is discontinued, for it to be removed from the listing of herbs available so one doesn't waste time.
I always receive good quality products and the selection is fantastic. I just wish the free shipping was available at $100 rather than what it is now.
I am always pleased with the products. They have a lovely green tea that I absolutely love. Their mullein is fabulous. I've gotten many more items, but haven't used them all yet. This is my go-to place for herbs, teas, spices and information.
I have ordered quite a few herbs from them and they arrive timely and are priced very reasonably! I have been a customer since 2023
The herbs I order I use to ensure my horses and goats receive the best nutrition possible. They always arrive within days and are fresh and packaged very nicely.
Every interaction has been great, ordering is easy straightforward shipping is quick.
When blending recipes the ratios are very important and I can count on the Herbco product weights to be accurate, unlike other large companies that short weight.
Honest company and a great go to!
