Delivery time very long due to COVID-19: more than 3 weeks. Not very friendly support from David Vanilla when I asked to expedite the delivery with the post office.

Hello Hervé, When I receive this type of message from my clients, you are right, I am not friendly ;-) Hello, I still have not received my last order. Can you inform me of its reception date please. It is starting to take a long time, if it has not arrived by Wednesday, I ask you to proceed with the cancellation of this last one and the full refund increased by the amount of my order. Awaiting your response, Best regards, Here is my response to your email: The national posts and logistics platforms are closed until Wednesday morning. The staff is reduced by 70%. You can refuse the package upon arrival. It will be returned to my workshop. According to my T&Cs, a fee of €10 will apply for returns. Thank you in advance for your understanding, Customer: Hello, No delivery, this costs me €10, I do not quite understand your response. Is this the commercial policy of David Vanilla that I should widely communicate on the web and social networks? For a first trial on your vanilla and pepper ordering site... Best regards, Us: Hello Hervé, Your order is being delivered. If a refusal is made for x reasons, according to our T&Cs, a fee of €10 (delivery, preparations) will be charged.

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!

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

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.

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.

I would give 5 stars if the shipping costs were not so high....

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Anne,
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to leave a review. My shipping costs for Belgium are €11.89 with DHL express delivery. They are FREE from €149 in Europe.
To give you a comparison, sending a 1kg package via colissimo without signature is €15.05 (post office rates). My goal is to offer a premium service at the best price.
It would be possible to offer deliveries with relay solutions (delivery in 5 to 7 days) at a lower price but I am not interested because the service is not comfortable for my customers and the tracking is random.
You had already contacted me on July 13 to inform me that my shipping costs were too high, I then proposed FREE delivery in Europe from €149 instead of €199 previously. I am listening to my customers and doing my best to meet their expectations.
Thank you in advance for your understanding,
Have a great week,
Looking forward to it,
David Vanille: your spice seeker.
