Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Roselyne,
You purchased this vanilla:
10 pods of Dried Tahitensis Vanilla 10-13cm S - Papua New Guinea
Indeed, the vanilla pods are dry as explained in the title.
The Gourmet aged and Bourbon Gold vanilla pods are much more moist, oily, and fleshy.
Have a great weekend,
Looking forward,
David

The site is well made, orders are fast and well packaged, too bad your best sellers are out of stock (pack of 10 more advantageous than buying in packs of 2).

Unfortunately, my package arrived empty..... where is my order???? The response from the post office is that the weight was the same with them as at my home and the seller hides behind that!!!! So for my part, very disappointed and I strongly advise against shopping on this site.....

Remember to rate after a few months and not at reception. Just over 2 months after my order, my pods are starting to mold! They are perfectly preserved in perfectly sterilized glass tubes! As I have always done, I have pods from other sellers from 2016 still in perfect condition. After contacting the seller, he tells me it's my fault for not following his preservation advice! He gives me a link to his site where his preservation advice is either freezing (!!) or preserving in alcohol... You can verify it yourself!!! He himself does not trust the quality of his vanilla!

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Sir, Once is not customary, I will take the bull by the horns! It is quite incredible that a customer comes to complain after not following my preservation advice. After explaining to me that you sterilized your glass tubes to tell me that it is my aging that is to blame, I wanted to show you that this is impossible. Therefore, I sent you my microbiological analyses, pesticides, and vanillin content of my batch by email. Upon reading these analyses, seeing that my pods are of exceptional quality, without germs, without pesticides, and with significant vanillin content, you still want to complain? Very well. If you do not follow my preservation advice, calling them

Very satisfied with this first order, I will reorder without hesitation. Package received within 2 days and well packaged, very satisfied on this point. I used the first pods to make vanilla ice cream, there was a nice vanilla scent upon opening the bag and the result, the ice cream was sufficiently flavored. I might take the larger size for the next order.

As for everything related to 'DAVID VANILLE': perfect, the delivery leaves something to be desired: appointment on Wednesday, delivery on Tuesday, when of course, we were not expecting it and therefore absent, package given to a neighbor without leaving a note in the mailbox, I had to go to the delivery site to see that they had left it with a neighbor... on Thursday.... But other than that, delighted with the quality of the spices! I will order again...

Hello Richard, Thank you sincerely for your feedback. The delivery via DHL express was received less than 24 hours after the order was sent. I contacted DHL Lyon to notify them of your comment after checking the tracking of your order. We apologize for this inconvenience that caused you to lose 2 days on the delivery date. Have a great day, Looking forward, David www.davidvanille.com

Ordered the tahitensis vanilla variety and received the Bourbon gold from Madagascar. Not the same price or quality. After many emails, no response. Too bad because the first order went very well.

Order received well, on time... Good quality products!! If I took time to respond, it's because I needed a little time to discover and form an opinion on the products I ordered. So, the only small advice I would give you is to wait a few days (between 7 to 15 days) before sending this review request, so that people who ordered have time to use your products.

Following a mishap that La Poste is known for, the package (a letter!) was finally dropped off at a post office where they refused to give it to me despite presenting an ID. Daniel Vanille having sided with La Poste, it was I who left.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Pierre, Here is my last email to clearly understand the follow-up I provided for your order: Mr ......, The order was sent the day after your purchase. The relay refused my cardboard letter for shipment as they had no more space. It should be noted that the relay refuses before receiving packages when they have a large volume of arrivals. I contacted you by phone on Wednesday, December 4 to inform you of the delivery of your order to another relay (following your email). I contacted the relay this morning who indicated that they only require an ID as proof to receive your package. I have never had a case where a clerk requested another proof, otherwise, a simple call on my mobile would have sufficed to validate the pickup at the post office. Care in preparation and follow-up to each of your emails was provided for your order. I treat each of my partners, subcontractors or not, with great respect. The two people I spoke to on the phone at Part Dieu assured me that a simple proof of identity is sufficient. If my logistics partner was unable to respond to your initial request for a relay, I am sorry (week of Black Friday). For the non-respect of a 48-72h deadline, it arrived late but arrived on Friday, December 6 at the post office. (Your order is available until December 17 at the relay) More than two hours of follow-up were necessary for your order. Have a joyful holiday season, Best regards, David Have a joyful end of year holiday season, Best regards, David

The vanillas seem very fragrant and of good quality, I don't quite grasp the difference between aged and non-aged ones, I imagine it is subtle but based on the descriptions on the site I expected something more pronounced, but this remains a detail I am very happy with my products

I discovered this site very recently and browsing it was very interesting because, except for the vanilla from Reunion (where I had the chance to get to know it during a stay), I was unaware of the richness of the spice world. My order was delivered quickly, well packaged. This is probably why opening the package was an opportunity for a real bouquet of both sweet and spicy scents. If I didn't give a fifth star, it's simply because I haven't tested all these spices, some of which are unknown to me.
