Ordered hbwr seeds on the 7th. On the 8th satuets was changed from prosessing to printed, on the 9th statues was still printed but that was probaly because it was sunday, on the 10th statues was changed to shiped, am looking forward to reseaving package i realy liked the sight and how easy it was to order, looking forward to bieng a returning customer hope the seeds are good have orderded seeds from another vender in the past that did not germinate.
On August 10th, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
Just got my seeds the same day I made this commet and the same day I got the email that they where shiped they must of shiped them before they changed the statuse... But any way very fast shiping I shure wasent expecting them today I am very happy, the seeds look good. the packaging was very good. I highly recomend Bouncing Bear.On August 10th, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
P.S. they gave me 4 extra seeds!On December 3rd, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
Ordered from bbb again placed my order on the 29th which was a Sunday I ordered 1gram of 10x salvia extract and 28 grams of "Boe" Thia Kratom powdered leaf I got a 2 dollar discount from a coupon I received from my previous order! On the 30th shipment status was changed to shipped. When I tried to track my package from the usps it said that the electronic info has been received, I don't think that usps lets you track orders like ups does. I should get my package by tomorrow I am hoping that my package does not get slowed by the holiday season. My rating is positive because of the good deal and because of the previous good experience with this vendor. I would also like to add that my previous order of hbwr seeds where of very high quality.On December 5th, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
Got my order of kratom in the mail yesterday with a note that said that my salvia will come soon. I think that my salvia will come tommorrow. I am pleased with the kratom.On December 5th, 2009, jellycrab changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following:
I still haven't received my salvia and tomorrow is Sunday I guess that I will have to wait till Monday =(On December 6th, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
The reason why I changed my rating to neutral is because they should have just sent both of the items in the same box. Both of the items are small so they both would have fitted in the same box that the kratom was in. If the salvia gets here Monday and it is of good quality I will change my status back to positive, I really do like BBB and am still a loyal customer.On December 9th, 2009, jellycrab added the following:
Yesterday I called Bouncing Bear and they said that they forgot to send it because they had to start shipping there salvia from Arizona and they have been having problems because of this. So they shipped it yesterday and since I live in Arizona I should get it in a couple days. The person I talked to was very nice. On December 13th, 2009, jellycrab changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
I recieved my salvia on thursday the 11th and they gave me 2 extra grams because of the problem.

On The 4th of July I ordered two toads. One week later the toads had not arrived so I decided to change my order. I emailed BBB and received a non-pertinant computer generated reply, so I called at luch time on the 13th. I thought everything was straightened out. I even asked for express mail and offered to let BBB keep the small difference in the changed order, for the hassle of changing the order. It is now the 18th, and I emailed BBB yesterday asking for a tracking number. Still no reply. I spent 300 dollars and still no reply, no e-mail, no tracking number. Have I not been courteous? Have I not spent my money their before? I'm not asking to be treated like royalty. I just want what I payed for. Oh, I get it. The economy is so good they don't need repeat customers. I don't matter. I feel like I've been forgotten by them. Thanks a lot for the dependable service.
On July 18th, 2009, GenericUN changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following:
Jon contacted me very quickly and wrote this reply to me
"Hi,
Sorry for the trouble. What were you replacing the toads with, again? For whatever reason, the information I entered on the order, didn’t get updated. Thanks. "
Changing my rating to nuetral. I will change it to positive when I receive what I ordered, but I appreciated the speedy reply and I understand that things happens sometimes. On July 18th, 2009, GenericUN changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
I should have given Jon the benefit of the doubt. He was more than happy to fix the mistake and refunded me for the s&h. Very cool. They now have one more loyal customer.On December 5th, 2009, GenericUN added the following:
I have decided to once again try to order a toad. My order was processed on the 22nd of Nov. (order # 142636)
Now on the website it says;
"The Bufo alvarius toads are shipped Express Mail through the Post Office at the beginning of each week. We guarantee live, healthy delivery."
When I asked to be notified by e-mail, BBB did say they would e-mail me a tracking number.
How long until they are shipped express mail?On Dec 5, 2009, Bouncing Bear Botanicals responded with:
My experience for the past few times have been good ones. There was only one occasion in which a product was forgotten (not salvia so not longer shipping). However I emailed them about this and they replied early the next day and they dealt with the problem no questions asked. Cool thing is, i didn't even have to worry about them fighting it, knew they would just deal with it .Sounds good to me.
Ordered on Sept 30 late at night and received my items on October 2nd. Quick shipping for me. Have yet to test products, but they deserve a positive just for their quick shipping.
Wow, this company is fast and has very good quality on some Salvia. I have experimented with different websites and their quality and by far this website is on the very top of my list.

I couldn't be happier. I ordered one 12" San Pedro cutting and a packet of San Pedro seeds with express shipping. I ordered on a Monday evening and received my package Thursday afternoon that same week in a discreet, unmarked package. The cutting ended up being 14" long and over 3" in diameter and perfectly healthy from what I can tell. I received well over a dozen seeds in a single pack and instructions/tips on growing them. I'm incredibly impressed with their speed, quality, and selection and would recommend them to anybody interested in ethnobotanicals.

This is my first time ordering from Bouncing Bear. I ordered a kilo of Ayahuasca vines and have been waiting for them to come in.
I placed my order over a week ago (order number 129776)

For now my review is neutral, but I'll change it to positive as soon as my order arrives.

The package just came in today, so I changed my review to a positive. Apperantly the postal service lost it, so BBB reshipped it with UPS the second time at no extra charge.
The vines are in excellent condition and I also received a complimentary package of K2 blend. I'll definitely be ordering again in the future. On August 12th, 2009, astral_stardust added the following:
I just rechecked the package and saw that they also added in some complimentary Syrian Rue as well. Thanks, guys!
I ordered from Bouncing Bear Botanicals, and was impressed with the speed with which it was processed and shipped. In fact, when I received the box I wasn't sure what it was at first, because I thought there was no way I could place an order online on a Tuesday and receive my package that same week. I just placed another order, and I hope that everything goes as smoothly this time as well!

I placed an order on May 21st for a live Salvia divinorum plant and it arrived July 17th. Four days short of TWO months later, I received the plant. I figured this is going to be a huge plant if they are letting it grow this long. When I opened up the package the plant was no more than 4 inches tall with only two decent sized leaves, the rest were tiny. When I picked up the plant out of the package the two decent sized leaves fell right off. Half of each leaf was black. But I am good with plants, I figured it would grow. I put it into a humidity tent I built around a pot. I had great soil and plenty of filtered light. Gave it some bottled water and waited. The next day all of the leaves were black and fell off, the only thing that remand was the stem and a few small leaves, which most were black. I contacted BB the next day about how small and terrible the plant was that they sent me and that they didnt send me the extract that customers are suppose to get if they wait for 4 weeks. I haven't got a response back and the plant is completely dead. It didnt even last past the first day I had it. Absolutely terrible plant. BB took my time and money and ran with it. I would STRONGLY suggest not to buy Salvia Divinorum plants from here! Very very disappointed! Here is a pic of the plant when I put it into the pot. The next day 3/4 of the stem was black.
My order number is 123359. I would greatly appreciate it if you could reship the plant. I have used this soil for all my plants. It works really good for all of them. What kind of soid should I use instead. A mix of 2 part potting soil, 1 part verm, 1 part perlite? I kept the tent on the plant the entire time. I took the picture right after I planted it and then put the dome over it right away. If it would of lasted long I am sure it would have pulled through but it started out in really bad shape. On July 22nd, 2009, hfnoodle changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following:
I got the notification of the order reshipment. I greatly appreciate this Jon. Hopefully this plant will be in alot better shape than the first one. Thank you again.On August 5th, 2009, hfnoodle added the following:
I haven't received my second plant. I haven't received a mailing notification email either. On September 12th, 2009, hfnoodle changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
I received my second plant on August 7th. And WOW what a difference. BBB sure out did themselves with this one. They went from sending me a plant with one or two tiny leaves, to a plant that was twice the size and with leaves the size of my hand and multiple of them. The plant is growing real fast and is in great shape. Great job BBB! I will definitely do business with again. On Jul 21, 2009, Bouncing Bear Botanicals responded with:
I don't see any e-mails about missing the extract or anything. If you can, use the contact form on the site, which should make it easier/less risk of a lost e-mail: http://www.bouncingbearbotanicals.com/contact_us.php
Anyway. Sorry for the trouble with your plant. In that picture, it looks like the top must have been broken in shipping. That right? That would explain the stalk turning black 3/4 of the way down (the stem is hollow and if it is cut or broken, it will dry and die back about two inches from the cut part).
If you let me know your order number, I can get that reshipped, though. Also, that soil looks... not Salvia friendly. If you can get a richer soil without all the compost, they will be much happier.
Oh. And also keep the humidity dome on that one. It should still make it and have new growth in the next 1 to 2 weeks as long as the slow black death creeping down the stalk doesn't get to the last node (don't cut off that dead part of the stem, by the way, or it will just make more of it die off).
Thanks,
Jon
On Jul 21, 2009 3:00 PM, Bouncing Bear Botanicals added:
Thanks. We'll get that reshipped next week. It likes a little heavier soil. I mix 1 part Miracle Gro Top soil with 1 part Miracle Gro potting soil. Works well.
Thanks,

7/9 - evening I received an email that BBB has shipped me a product.
I was kind of sketchy because I didn't want to be one of those people that waited a month to get their products but everything seems to be going fine. Also since its shipped its probably out of their hands now. Unless something goes drastically wrong and they have poor customer service I will leave this as a positive.

This is by far one of the better companies I have ordered from online. The orders are processed quickly. Information is sent immediately to my email informing me of the status of the order and its location. Friday evening orders are no problem as it seems they process orders through the weekend. My first order was delivered as promised and the quality of the botanicals I ordered was first rate. I have ordered again from this company and will continue to do so. Thank you Bouncing Bear Botanicals for being so professional.
I have nothing but good happen with this company.
This is true of many, many orders of time.
Even when their is a problem with shipping or something out of their control - they'll take care of it.
They care about the customer and have a great line of products.

Sorry for the delay. I thought we had updated all the back ordered customers, sorry if we missed you somehow. It's a bit of a long story. the Clif's notes version: We moved recently and 3 days in the back of a hot, uninsulated truck does not make happy mother plants. A new shipment of plants from Mexico got held up by customs, a language barrier and a confused importer who planted them outside in Texas instead of just sending them on to us makes even less happy plants. We will be sending some tomorrow and, depending on how the rooting goes some more the following week. We're just going oldest to newest and... yours should be in this next shipment tomorrow.
i got exactly what i ordered and it arrived promptly. i got a call from them to confirm the address because i typed it wrong. very friendly customer service. i highly recommend this company.
I will leave BBB marked as neutral until my package has arrived and product has been tested i will change my rating afterward but now onto my question. I would like to know how i would go about finding out what my tracking number is. My order number is 115726 any help would be greatly appreciated.

The post office doesn't do true "tracking". It's a "delivery confirmation" number instead. It only shows when it's delivered or they've attempted delivery at least. Until that happens they won't show any information, generally. But it is on its way and should be there in the next day or so. Sorry for any confusion.

I leave my experience with them at neutral for the moment until the status is shipped. the longest ive waited was 4 bussiness days with previous supplier.
Im hopeful of BBB, their website is well set up, they carry a good variety of products when compared to other online retailers. Could use some price comparisons, and a few more of those hard to find herbs or additives.

That shipped yesterday USPS. Tracking # is 9101010521297520736207.
I ordered a toad and though it took a couple weeks to ship my new frend arrived in good condition if a bit cold. It was cold here and BBB shipped my buddy with a heat pack and a BBB tshirt which I will wash and give back to my reptiilan friend. The toad arrived alive and healthly if a bit small. He appears to be a juvinile and I wiill need to wait a while for him to grow to adult stature. I have placed a second order with this company and will report back when the new order arrives. Though i would have preferred a more mature toad, I am satisfied my new buddy will enjoy his new terranium for several more years.

First time buying from BBB and couldn't be happier. Ordered on Sunday, 11/2 , Got an email the next day stating my order has been shipped. Package arrived in the mail on Wednesday, 11/5, in perfect condition. Very satisfied. Will be ordering from them again.
Regarding Bouncing Bear Botanicals:
This is my first time ordering with them, and I must say I am already impressed with their customer service. I placed my order over the phone because unfortunately my computer crashed earlier in the week. I was informed today that my order had already been shipped! I live in Canada and I do have concerns about the boarder crossing, but the lady on the phone assured me that there would be none, and if there was they would make it right.
I am always skeptical about buying over the internet, but so far I feel quite confident in my purchase. I will update everybody about the progress !

Well the prob is that I ordered my product over the phone and there is no way to track it via. your website. I will call in today to try to see what we can do. No worries BBB, the customs agents dont work for you so you cant control what gets through!
I am going to change my rating to positive for two reasons:

What order # is your first order? That's probably stuck in customs, if it's taking that long. There should have been a customs form # entered into the comments of your order. You can login to your account and click on the order # to view the comments. You can use that number to find what the hold up is with customs or when they released it. Sorry for the trouble.
I ordered some Cacti and they shipped immediately. They arrived promptly. They were buy 2 get 1 free on sale so it's hard to complain that one of the 3 was ever so slightly short and not rooted, but they replied to my email complaint immediately and offered to make it right now or at my next order. I'm still waiting for my Bufo, but tracking confirms it has been shipped and I'm confident it will arrive promptly (wouldn't want it sitting in a warehouse over the weekend so I'm glad they waited to ship it). It has been a pleasure doing business with them and I look forward to doing more!
As a new customer, I recently placed an order with BBB (on 10/26/08) for 2 of their ethnobotanical products (1oz. Dream Herb & 1oz. Salvia Foliage). I received an email confirming my order that same day, and everything appeared to be going smoothly. Then - on 10/27/08 I received an email stating that my order had been shipped, and thus, I was satisfied with the ordering process so far, as I anxiously awaited for my order.
On 10/29/08 A discreet package arrived on my doorstep. "Wow, Fast shipping!" I thought to myself. However, upon opening the box I discovered that my Salvia was missing and is apparently being shipped separately? I checked the website to see as to why this is, but found no information regarding this matter.
The box I received only contained half of my order, and so at this point, I am only half-satisfied. It would have been nice if they had explained that on the website (or in the confirmation/shipping email) so that I would have expected the separate package prior to ordering. I shall update this comment to positive as soon as I receive the remainder of my order...

Sure enough folks, the rest of my order was delivered the following day (10/30/08) and so I have now changed my rating to "Positive"!
I can now say that I am very impressed with the speed of this company's shipping and the quality of their customer service as well! All of my items arrived in good condition, and so BBB can definitely expect more business from me (and those whom I shall now recommend to their wonderful online shop) in the near future! Thanks again BBB!

Kansas made Salvia illegal, so we had to move the Salvia portion of the company to Nebraska. Both packages ship the same day generally and usually arrive within 1 day of eachother, if not the same day.
I recently ordered some toads from bouncing bear botanicals and ordered express shipping. Just as they promised they were shipped out at the beginning of the week, and have arrived today. They are in excellent condition and doing well. I am extremely happy with the service I recieved from them and highly reccomend them to anybody. Thanks bouncingbear!
I have placed several orders with BBB and with the exception of a Post Office screw up (which they took care of quickly even though it wasn't their responsibility) I have always received great products in quick time. In fact I ordered a plant that was marked 2-4 weeks before shipping and it arrive two DAYS later. They have made a return customer out of me.
I placed an order with Bouncing Bear Botanicals on August 13, 2008, the 2nd time ordering with them(first time was small order, received in 8 days), and have yet to receive anything. I e-mailed them after 12 days and got a reply from Jon saying that i must wait 2-3 weeks. It is now 09.09.2008. I've e-mailed them 2 more times and no response. I was thinking about to buy much more, but now have no plans to order from them again. I ask my postman about package everyday, but NOTHING.
Order ID: #98469
P.S.:Sorry for my bad english.

That was shipped August 13th. You had chosen basic shipping, which, to Ukraine, is real slow. If it's not there by the end of this week, though, let me know and we can reship. Normally we can only guarantee Express orders outside the U.S. since customs and foreign mail can be so unreliable.

I order salvia from Bouncing Bear 2 days ago and it was shipped yesterday. I really, really would like a tracking number so my roommates don't get to it first. my order # is 99704. Thank You! Karma +++! I will change from neutral when/if I receive any info or tracking #.

The tracking number issue has been resolved I'll post a final report and rating when I receive my order. I called today (sep .02), and was told that it would be here on Friday. I hope it is.On October 11th, 2008, sdg1215 changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:
This is the best online vendor ever! Since i added my original comment I have order from Bouncing Bear at least five or six times, and every time the items are received on time and a lot of time ahead of schedule. I no longer order from any other vendor. The best part about BB is the customer service. They are always extremely nice and very efficient. I recommend using Bouncing Bear for all of your future online purchases. I am also seriously considering opening my own online Ethnobotanical shop, and if I do I will start out by buying wholesale from BB. Thanks very much for the great service!!!

That particular order was ordered late on the 22nd and shipped on the 23rd through the post office. Today is the 24th. You should probably have it tomorrow or Saturday.

I have made 4 purchases with BBB, the first a regular order which arrived promptly, the second a bulk order which arrived within reason, the third another regular order which arrived within 4 days, and this last one I am still waiting on. The last order was placed June 16th and sent out the 17th, but here we are end of june with no package in my mailbox... I emailed the company thru their website inquiry and am waiting a response back... This is my first negative experience with the company and their products are of reliable and exceptional quality, I would just like this order to arrive in a timely fashion, I will post again when I recieve the order and if any correspondance or customer services were performed.

Excelent response time! Next day response to my delayed shipment, one of my items heppened to be on back order before the site was updated, but no worrys since my response was prompt, personal, and reassuring. This is a great company to do business with, the only thing is you must take initiative to inquire about delayed shipment (which you should anyway as a responsible consumer!). Two thumbs up!On Jun 30, 2008, Bouncing Bear Botanicals responded with:

Hi,
What's your order number? All e-mail has been answered, but I'll look it up and let you know. Thanks. "
They are quick, sometimes. First order received within 3 days of ordering, the second order is now on day 4, which isn't bad, however I have been charged, and have no tracking info.
Well, so far so good. I ordered my product this past Saturday late in the day. A email was sent immediately to me about the stuff I had purchased as well as a email from Jon. I just got the stuff today in the mail. So, I give an A++ to their response and shipping. Soon will come the moment of truth when I try my product out. Will be back later...
I made an order with Bouncing Bear Botanicals on Saturday June 7, 2008. I had never used them before and thought there site looked good. After sending 2 emails, and making 3 phone calls, just to get order trackin(not for complaints or anything), i havent gotten a reply from any emails or calls, I went online and searched for reviews and noticed that there were many complaints against there shipping dept, This began to worry me, it has only been 4 days, i will give it a couple more berfore changing my status to negative, if I do change it will be because of there lack of customer service.
