Nice site, happy to find so much choice, unfortunately there was an error, the delivered product does not match the ordered product... and David is unreachable, impossible to contact by email, phone, SMS,... too bad

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.

Still very satisfied with the quality of the spices. However, the quality of customer service needs improvement. Indeed, during my last order on October 18, there was a small error. I wanted to report it. Unfortunately, after 2 emails and 1 SMS sent, still no response...

I find the shipping costs too expensive, I would prefer containers other than plastic, small stainless steel boxes for example.

Hello, Shipping costs are FREE from €69 of order. They include logistics, cardboard, paper, labels, ... For stainless steel boxes, due to the explosion of raw material prices, we cannot afford it. We are currently studying other solutions. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards, David Vanille

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

I could have given a 'very good' if the delivery hadn't taken forever due to La Poste sending the package to the wrong destination. It's a shame to pay for fast delivery that ultimately took more than a week to reach me.

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

Hello Lucas,
You ordered Gourmet vanilla +10cm M:
15 pods are size 14-16cm
5 pods are size 10-13cm
We always try to exceed our customers' expectations. From this point of view, we deserve a 5/5, don't we? 🙂
Have a great week,
Best regards,

Hello Anne-Sophie, The photo of the shipment clearly shows the two Ugandan vanilla pods. The package was not damaged upon your receipt. My colleague contacted you by phone as soon as your customer service request was received and verified with you. Best regards, David Vanille: Exceptional Spices

We only received 18 pods instead of 20 which is not a big deal in itself. I was less pleased with David Vanille's reaction to this error: not a word of apology and simply we will add 2 to the next order.

Half of the pods are very small and dry. Almost nothing to scrape off. It might be the variety that causes this, but I am disappointed
