oaxaca gardens, anyone have an opinion?

chrisnh · 10-07-08, 12:42

just noticed them on the sponsor page. must be new. never heard of them before. anyone have an experience dealing with them? thanks

Mermaidia · 10-07-08, 13:48

They are a new sponsor, good eye chris.

I haven't heard any reviews as of yet.
But we should give them a warm Topia welcome.

prism1234 · 10-07-08, 13:57

Love topia sponsers!

weed4all · 10-07-08, 14:05

i just checked their site out, seems like an awsome place for your mimosa. lets all give em' a big topia welcome

rocketman · 10-07-08, 20:39

well the must adhere to a strict code of customer service to sponsor here. the thing is when dealing with a new business you should start with a small order and work your way up. safety first and all that. i laughed when i saw the 1000kg for 20 grand. You would need a tanker truck full of xylene and lye, and mix it all in a lake, strain fish and plants hehehehehe

prepowdered is the only way id buy it, screw all that work. It is still good up to a year powdered ime.

hip pretty much guarantees the sponsors quality, ethics, etc. but there are always some that can slip by us. we do what we can to screen and monitor.

i wonder why a sponsor like this one wont send a sample so we can try it out without risk. i think hes in the states so ordering isnt a concern to me. i would worry more ordering something like this from a hot country.

jmtx · 10-08-08, 02:41

good god!!! 1000k of rootbark!!!! thats insane!!!

Hippie3 · 10-08-08, 08:10

he's in mexico.
you lose money fast sending out free samples.
not a common practice in our culture,
so don't expect it.
i don't send out free samples either.
postage ain't free.

rocketman · 10-08-08, 09:59

Agreed, but to get the word ou.t do you think it would be wise to set aside a certain amount for folks here as freebies to get word of mouth going. Not really saying it should be for everyone who asks, maybe to a couple hand picked old timers.

Folks hear the word free and they want it whether they can use a product or not. So yeah youll lose because there is little return on your advertising (word of mouth) investment when you shotgun it to everyone.

Hippie3 · 10-08-08, 10:10

if it were me
i'd hold a contest and give some away

cuts · 10-14-08, 14:33

anyone buy from them yet? I'm interested to see how it is.

duaut · 10-14-08, 18:20

Yes, SWIM has purchased from Oaxaca through their eBay account recently and received more than SWIY paid.
The material is very high quality.

cuts · 10-15-08, 02:57

really? how much you order and how much did ya get? If ya don't mind me asking. And also did you try it out yet?

wildburr · 10-15-08, 06:39

Looks like a good deal for already powdered MHRB. Just concerned about what customs will do with a package from Mexico with MHRB in it. Just a little paranoid I guess. I've ordered from KTBotanicals and have not had a problem, guess Ill have to try a small order first.

KingKanibalKiller · 10-16-08, 17:54

them being in mexico is the only thing thats held me back so far but im moving soon so ill be placing an order i will update when its complete and give comp to wht i get from bbb and kt. by the way anyone have any ideas as to what the real risks are to having more than a kilo mailed through customs to the us? hip?

Hello,

We ship worldwide via Mexpost EMS which has online tracking so you can check the status of the package through www.usps.com

Never had any problems shipping to USA.

Best to all,
Jose

Hi,

We have sent up to 10 kilos to the USA with no problem. However, the majority of our orders are for 1-3 kilos and they always get delivered on time.

Best to all,
Jose

Ben Dover · 10-22-08, 21:50

Good to know, thanks for the info.

KingKanibalKiller · 10-22-08, 22:15

yes thanks for your reply Jose. ill let you know what i think real soon. gotta love the sponsors!

dpwishy · 11-04-08, 13:33

Please stand by, my buddy swim has placed an order and will get back to you on a review of the product. I don't know if anyone has seen prices lately but hes letting kilos go for 80 and 3 for 150 now. Its free shipping but it becomes even when you pay the 15 dollar western union charge, but he also has stuff you can pay with pay pall, but there larger orders (3 and and 10 i believe), swim only wanted one to check on the product and the new sponsor, so far swim is very impressed with the customer service, i will get back to you on quality when swim lets me know. Swim was a loyal customer of another place for a long time, but hasn't liked the last few orders, he's hoping this will be a better option

love, peace, compassion and respect

whatchamacallit · 11-04-08, 13:45

I'm sure interested in the yield from a kilo, so please report back ASAP! $50 a kilo is very cheap, compared to the other sponsors, so my only question would be the alkaloid percentage.. Thanks to all who are giving them a try.

dpwishy · 11-04-08, 13:51

I think its best to give a high, medium or low quality rating, my buddy swim doesn't do anything illegal with it, he just likes to analyze specimens. So he wouldn't know, sorry my friend.

and btw a single kilo is 80 not 50, but still i agree that is extremely generous of him and is why swim went with him.

love, peace, compassion and respect
-wishy

malefacter · 11-04-08, 16:04

i love it when a sponsor takes the time to respond to a thread like this

to me that means they care

welcome to topia

They are $50 a kilo if you buy 3 or more, and high, medium, or low quality doesn't really answer my question, unless high means 10 plus grams per kilo, medium is 5-10g, and low is less than 5g. Anyone who knows a pet monkey or any friend or whatever story you have that can give an idea of the amount of D per kilo, I'd really appreciate it..

duaut · 11-04-08, 18:19

typical 7.18g/K cream colored cleaned to 6.217g white, a perfect conversion as usual. nuff said
get it or forget it.

nice to have a bulk supplier with cheap and extremely excellent Fresh material

whatchamacallit · 11-04-08, 18:27

dpwishy · 11-19-08, 10:41

Little update, my buddy swim's bark arrived, it took 13 days to get from Oaxaca Gardens in Mexico, all things considering that's not too bad, customs definitely did a number on the package, I assume the bark which is shredded and powdered was inside a plastic bag that was inside the box all ripped apart, all the bark powder was everywhere inside the box, leaking out the sides and what not due to the plastic bag was ripped apart and searched through by customs, pretty big mess upon opening, those bastards! (but not the sponsors fault)

The color of the powder looks decent, a little different than swim is used to because he usually orders only the inner bark from bbb, this looks like it has a color shade to it that tells swim both inner and outer were in this, but also a very nice deep purple tint, and the smell and the feeling of the powder clogging the nostrils are the same. A better quality update will come in a few days when i hear back from swim. But as for the sponsor with customer service and shipping, grade A. We just need customs to get on board, but i understand their just doing their job

love, peace, compassion and respect

rocketman · 11-20-08, 13:56

I removed the post that falsely stated mhrb is different from tenuiflora. They are the same.

dpwishy · 11-20-08, 14:41

I thought so, it might have been good info to leave for others though, i wonder how common an idea this is? I had no idea there were so many synonyms for the same specie of mimosa until he claimed that and had me researching. Also Swim can give you a better indication on the quality of the bark soon, stay tuned.

Love, peace, compassion and respect
