“I must say I have used almost each spice that has been purchased. I was searching for spices to create dishes and found myself wanting to make and try new wonders for my pallate . I also was gifted a year subscription box for Christmas so looking forward to restocking my lovely spice collection.”
“We love this service. My wife and I got a subscription for all our foodie friends for Christmas last year. The recipe cards are a great way to try out an unfamiliar spice.”
“We received a subscription as a gift. We loved some recipes so much we ordered the spices again. We are eating vegan with some seafood meals. Harissa baked halibut and Cumin Shrimp were amazing and we wanted on repeat.”
“Highly recommend! I got the yearly subscription for my partner for Christmas last year and it has kept the entire year fun. Each month we were excited to get our new spices and recipes and to try something new. All the recipes we tried were fantastic. Looking forward to more spices and recipes this year.”
“I love the variety and quality of spices available here. The recipes sent with the spice packet or on line are great because you know it's just the right amount for the recipe and the flavors are all tested together.”
“Spices may be good but it’s a terrible website for gift giving. No way to set delivery date or time. Recipient got Christmas present last week even though I asked for a 12/25 email. Will keep looking for better web experience”
“I was so excited to receive my first order. All the seasonings were something I would have never picked to try on my own but sounds delicious. The recipes I received were high-quality cardstock, meant to handle any spills. The introduction and description of the seasonings were interesting and helpful. I cannot wait to try them out!”
Hi Rebecca, we're happy to investigate. I can see we have shipped each of your 3 orders. We post on our website the current timing of shipping as well as the fact that we send monthly subscriptions via USPS first class mail and that it can take 1-2 weeks or longer during peak holiday season to deliver. Since USPS doesn't guarantee mail delivery timing, unfortunately, we can't guarantee delivery timing.
“This is a fun product to spice up your kitchen adventures. There was a misunderstanding initially regarding my subscription but in each case I got an email quickly from their customer service department explaining what was happening and it was easily resolved.”
“I have sent a gift of piquant post twice now. The recipients were grateful and thought the spices and recipes were fun. I think it is best sent to people who are foodies and like to cook!”
“I gave a 6 month spice pack as a gift and the recipient LOVED it. She said it gave her the flavor of other cultures and were dishes she had never tried, but all were good and could be modified for her tastes. The only drawback was that the recipes often required a fully applianced and stocked kitchen. It is a gift I will definitely give again!”
“I have been with you a long time and I loved the past recipes but your last few months have not been my favorites
I also am disappointed that I could not buy some of the spices ( to make the dishes I really liked) at your site
I am going to continue to subscribe for another 6 months in the hope that the recipes improve”
“I am happy with your product and service. The only issue I have had is the amount of time between getting the email saying it has shipped and the day it shows up. It occasionally is so long that I wonder if it has been lost.”
Hi Jeff, thanks for the feedback. We understand the frustration with the transit time. To clarify, we mail our monthly subscriptions using USPS first class mail ("snail mail") to your regular mailbox. This helps us keep shipping costs down but it also means that we are subject to the delays of USPS mail, which have increased in frequency and duration throughout the pandemic. 1-2 weeks is considered normal right now and, sometimes we see these take a little longer. Unfortunately, we cannot control transit times.
“I have really been enjoying making these recipes and using their spices. The recipes are usually pretty simple and taste wonderful. The only downside is the spice mixes are not always available on their website for sale, so we have some favorite recipes that we have not been able to make again. I wish all of the spice mixes were always available to buy individually.”
Hi Rebecca! Glad that you're enjoying our service and products. We're sorry not all blends were available to reorder on our website. We're a small team and do our best to add our newest spice blends to our online catalog in a timely manner. But we have been short staffed this summer. Please do email us at customers@piquantpost.com with your favorite blends that are unavailable (and frankly any requests/feedback anytime) and we'll prioritize getting those blends online and available for purchase. Spice on!!!
