HerbCo.com is my go-to for sourcing herbs & spices because of the variety and availability. I prefer not to have to source over several companies; HerbCO.com makes this so easy (I even search by code now from my buying list). Product is always fresh and well packaged. Thank you,

Very pleased with the quality of the herbs received over the past two years. The website is so easy to work with (product codes are so helpful for long list of items being ordered), and emailed receipts are instantly sent. I have received all mailings as promised, and tracking is provided. Thanks!

It is hard to find reputable companies. When one is too far away to actually lay hands on the products it is a huge relief to find quality products that can be purchased and shipped in bulk.

Your checkout is too complicated
December 9, 2025

1) Your checkout process is too complicated. Even though I entered the desired address at the beginning of the checkout process, it reverted to a default address and almost sent the order to the wrong address, which brings me to #2.
2) ALL companies allow a buyer to cancel the order if something is wrong with it. What planet are you living on? You're either a thief and want to keep the money in your pocket without providing something for it, OR you are utterly backward. So which one is it?!

Outstanding products and service!

My previous experiences have been really fabulous! They are really fast in shipping things out and their products are always top notch. I make oils in my business so the quality of the products is extremely important to me. I have been buying from Monterey Bay Herb Company for years and they have never once let me down!

We've been buying from herbco for years and the only issue we ever had was the ridiculously high shipping costs, but we were willing to put up with that because the quality was good. The last couple of orders we placed, however, have seen a drastic drop in quality. The granulated garlic was a very dark brown and pretty much one giant lump. The rubbed sage looked more like grocery store thyme, there were so many stems and twigs. As far as we are concerned, there are two strikes already. We are trying one more time. If there is a strike three, we won't be back.

Ceylon Cinnamon
December 6, 2025

The cinnamon has a scent and flavor as if it had been mixed with tumeric. Of course, I know this didn't happen. But it did come in a resealable plastic bag instead of a plastic bag inside a resealable foil bag. And I put it next to my foil pouch of tumeric. I wonder if the cinnamon could have absorbed the scent and flavor of the tumeric? Please consider putting spices in foil pouches. I had cinnamon in a foil pouch that was stored in the same place and it never absorbed any other flavors or scents.

Better than many out there
December 6, 2025
Updated review

Prices are better than most, and the quality seems to be good. I wish their out of stock updates were a bit more timely. I waited two times to order, because they said an out of stock item would be back in stock, and it never was. Other than that, I'm pleased.

I really need the mulling spices. Last time I ordered them, I was unhappy with the quality. Your company did reach out, but in the interim, my husband was severely injured at work, and I didn't have the time or inclination then to deal with anything other than his recovery. I'm hoping this batch is better.

Best prices in the entire USA
December 6, 2025
Updated review

I was looking for a supplier that was closer to home; no one near me to save on shipping only to be charged crazy high prices -- no chance of saving. Bulk pricing and free shipping over $250 works and is a great value. Thank you MBHCo

Date of experience: November 26, 2025

All is good - product is now perhaps 30-40 percent more than a year ago. Can only attribute to what is happening with tariffs etc.

I have had great experience with my purchases from Monterey Bay. Some of the bulk items aren't as perfectly shaped as what you get at the grocery store, but you get a lot more for your money and they taste the same. Everything I've gotten had been accurate and good quality.
