Really good product and great service!

I placed an order for some calamus oil and it was delayed in getting to me on time but I was very happy with the customer service reaching out before I bothered with asking them the status. They were very apologetic and gave me a coupon for all the trouble. When I got the product, I was amazed at the packaging care they did for my product. I will be ordering more from them and so grateful they are an outstanding company! Thank you!
