Thank you for the prompt delivery of the sauces I recently ordered from you. However, for me, the best part of the whole process was opening the box and simply breathing in the spice smell. It quite took me back to the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul! Now every time I open your catalogue (contained within the box), I am reminded many happy visits there. Thank you and best wishes, Peter

Here in France there are a number of spices that I have been unable to purchase until​ I discovered Seasoned Pioneers. I really appreciated the speed of delivery and how well everything was packaged. I also think the re-sealable foil packets are inspired. I will definitely be using the company again.

Been buying from Seasoned Pioneers for years; I’ve tried most other spices and herbs and can honestly say they are absolutely the don of everything spice and herb related!! You will never be disappointed with the quality and flavour and the little sealed pouches last for ages even though I use them every day. The range is astounding. My go to for all spices and herbs now! Fast delivery too!

My order arrived about 24 hours after I ordered it. Everything was in superb condition and so far, the spices I’ve used have been excellent.

I have made several orders now and have been very impressed with your service. The range of seasonings you have are fantastic, the foil pouches are brilliant and easy to reseal and the delivery is super quick. I will now always buy my spices from Seasoned Pioneers. Thank you for great customer service A*****

I would like to say how efficient the service was and what a great range of products you stock. I was on the team of The Small Business Bus and saw you at your stall in Chester; I took a catalogue and showed it to my wife as we are both fond of cooking. Neither of us realised how wide your range was and I ordered spices we don’t usually see or use. I am looking forward to the new foods we will be cooking in the new year.

Incredible service. My recent order accidentally short-shipped the second pouch of my most used spice (ground cumin). A simple email from me and I had this had by return (first class) post with no questions. I didn’t use the whole first pouch just that quickly but Thank you! F
