I take away one star because I haven't tested the pods yet. The only downside I can see does not come from the quality of the products but from the delivery. The package arrived completely smashed. So it was redone by the post office. The products being well packaged, it had no impact. Fortunately, because it remains food.

Very fast delivery and impeccable packaging! For the quality of the vanilla, the entry-level remains entry-level and the black pearl is excellent and different from the Madagascar but it is very expensive. Overall I am satisfied and I will return.

Navigation on the site davidvanille.com is very simple.
For me, first order of vanilla online and the reviews were decisive in choosing the site.
Sufficient packaging for spices.
Fast delivery despite covid19.
Thank you for the free ground cinnamon bag, it is much more fragrant than the one bought in supermarkets.

The site is quite well done, accessible and detailed. Unfortunately, I cannot give my opinion on the ordered items since I did not receive the correct order, but a significant commercial gesture was made. I am therefore testing other products of which I am fully satisfied for the moment. Quality products properly packaged. During the coronavirus period, customer service was efficient.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Sophie, Your initial order has been refunded. The order you received and that I GAVE you represents an amount of €166 while yours was €37.36 ;-) The ordered spices were not there but instead of 10 Bourbon Gold vanilla pods from Madagascar, you received, for example, 40. To minimize the risks of contagion and barrier gestures, this seemed to me to be the best solution. At the same time, to avoid making this mistake again, a new verification framework for my orders has been put in place. It is now impossible for this error to happen again. I sincerely thought my approach deserved a 5/5. Have a good week, Best regards, David

Hello, I am disappointed with the vanilla pods, they are too hard like in the stores, thank you

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).

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
