The overall experience is described as friendly and efficient, with happy customers returning for repeat orders and noting favorable prices and value.
Disappointed not to have received the order I placed... it took two months to be refunded and despite that, I placed another one (this one) obviously the advantageous prices of vanilla were no longer current. A commercial gesture (gift) was made but still, I remain disappointed after years of hassle-free purchases.

Hello Céline,
Following your message and the double payment, we did our best to satisfy you.
Here is your message:
Good evening, following my phone conversation this evening, and the cancellation of a previous order that remained in preparation status since November, we obtained a refund for the latter. It was specified to ask for a commercial gesture during our next order. So it is done. Thank you in advance
The team sent you several gifts but despite that, they couldn't reach the moon.
Sorry, we did our best with a reduced staff. Thank you for your understanding.
Have a great week,
David Vanille

I work for the Méert house in Lille, whose specialty is the vanilla-filled waffle from Madagascar. I was looking for an alternative vanilla pod to produce an even higher-end waffle. I wanted to test the Pompona vanilla. To my surprise, I received a very small and dried pod! Not at all in line with the photos and information I could obtain about this product, which was only exceptional in price. Very very disappointed!

Hello Grégori,
If you had taken the time to contact our customer service, we could have responded to your request. If you read our title: "Vanilla Pompona Schiede Sèche" and the descriptive sheet, you would have understood the refinement of this pod. When we work with large houses, chefs, and palaces on R&D projects, we necessarily have a call, especially if it's for the biggest sale of this house.
This vanilla is extremely rare, we only have a few units left. How to make thousands of waffles without a base of several hundred kg of vanilla per year?
Do not hesitate to contact us,
Best regards,
David Vanilla

the quality of the pods is really superb but I was given damaged pods torn at the top
I find that really not normal Especially when we talk about rare vanilla from Sao Tomé or Papua New Guinea the cream of the tribes

Hello,
Our response sent by email on the same day of your customer service was:
"Hello,
Could you please send the pods back to:
David Vanille
3 rue du Maréchal Foch
10270 Lusigny sur Barse
A shipment will be made as soon as received.
Have an excellent day and a 2022 full of flavors.
Best regards,
David Vanille"
Without possible verification, this seems impossible to us given the care we take with our spices.
The photos taken by my colleagues show no defects, hence my proposal for return.
Sincerely,
David Vanille

Second order and beautiful disappointment. Nothing to say about the products. However, I was charged for shipping fees even though I had intentionally exceeded the minimum. And the gift (given the amount of the order) that was supposed to be saffron turned out to be wood band. Very disappointed.. I had indicated that I was being charged shipping fees but no response. Too bad.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Hans,
Your product total (excluding promotion) was €64.29 and €6.90 for shipping fees.
Therefore, the saffron was not offered because the total was not €69, nor the shipping fees.
We have just refunded the shipping fees to your card. A box of saffron will be graciously offered to you with your next order. You will need to leave a message for David for this gesture.
Thank you for your understanding.
Looking forward,

Always happy so far with my purchases at David Vanilla, big disappointment with my last order, one item is missing (forgetfulness?) I contact customer service from the site, not a word of apology or anything just a proposal for a refund or sending in my next order, I must say that the nice note in the package 'order treated as if it were for a friend... etc...' is not quite in line with the customer service response, sending my box of saffron in a simple letter would have been enough to fully satisfy me and I find it somewhat normal to send the missing item when ordering for 50 euros on the site. But apparently that corresponds to 'the specifications'. I wish all customers not to experience my disappointment. However, nothing to complain about, I was refunded but I would have really preferred a commercial gesture in the sense of simply sending me the initially ordered item that was not in the package.

Hello Céline,
Here is the technical sheet visible on the site :
A HUGE FAVORITE - What aromatic power! I strongly invite you to discover this Grand Cru vanilla worked in the old-fashioned way by my teams. Pods at full maturity slightly split or not split, a fireworks display of aromatic amplitude! A higher dry matter content, a reduced humidity level, allowing for all the aromatic precision of my harvest. It is from my beginnings on the beaches of Sainte Anne (Guadeloupe).
Also, the main photo accurately represents the vanilla sold.
Thank you in advance for your understanding,
Looking forward,
David Vanilla

Hello.
During my order, I left a message asking if you could package the vanilla pods, which I bought by 50, in lots of 10, as it was for a gift.
It was not done, but in addition, I did not receive a message regarding the reason.
I then sent you an email but received no response either, sniff sniff.

Haven't tasted all the vanillas ordered yet. I will not order from this site again and I will not recommend it to friends. Because I don't like false promises like: you will get vanilla as a gift (but which is not in the package) And when you talk to David about it, he tells you to ask for it on the next order. So, no more orders
