Penzeys Spices Avis 

Absolutely the worst ever! And they believe it is good business to mix business with politics!
If I could give Penzeys Spices a zero star review I would! Terrible business practices and products!

Hate and political vitriol have forced me as a long time customer to go elsewhere for my spices. Great job Mr. Penzey. Keep up your political rants and you will have very few customers left.

I’m so happy this dope of a CEO hates republicans. It made me search out other spice companies and to tell you the truth, I was wasting my money at this place. Thank you hater!

I had been a customer for over 20 years, having hearing about this company from a catering friend of mine. Then I started receiving hate emails about our president, which you can guess, was Pres. Trump, whom Bill Penzey stated was "unamerican" which is as far from the truth as can be. So, I replied, stating he had NO business stating his political preferences to me, using his company money, MY money, to enhance the other side. So, folks, I went to The Spice House...family business, professional and NO politics.

I used to get lots of spices, etc. from this company. Then a few years ago they went hate-filled, alienating half their customers. Extremely unprofessional. I stopped buying from them a few years ago and use companies that appreciate everyone’s business. And there are plenty of good spice companies out there!

I love Penzeys spices, especially the large selection of salt-free blends. I would give five stars except last time I ordered from Penzeys my Sunny Paris spice's lid was so cracked it was unusable. Penzey's took TWO WEEKS to send me a new lid which left my spice a bit stale by the time I was able to use the new lid! Hopefully today's order will be hassle free when I get it.

I really enjoy using the many spices I've stocked up within my spice cabinet. For a change-up, I grabbed the Penzeys Bicentennial Rub. This was the pepper & zest blend I was looking for. After marinating the ckn, rub, and light olive oil I placed the chicken on the Traeger. Grilled the chicken perfectly, but the rub was terrible. It was pasty, bland, and fell way short of what I could have created myself. Big thumbs down on Penzeys

About 2 years ago I discovered Penzeys, and ordered a variety of sample spices & blends, plus a bag of Ceylon cinnamon. That's when I started to receive rambling & hate-filled emails from the founder of this company. He hates Republicans, it's as simple as that. A spice company does not need to engage in politics, especially in such a manner as to alienate & be intolerant of an entire political party. He's also gone after other groups, such as the Catholic church. I have no use for his level of hatred.

I have had excellent tasting spices from this company. I think it is ironic how maga hat wearers get all bent out of shape because of his political views, then troll review sites like this after theyv'e been "called to arms" by conservative websites with the wild conspiracy theories, to create negative reviews. Go back to Walmart or where ever you buy your 99 cent cheap spice, and enjoy your lack of anything tasty.

Received 3 jars of bouillon, jars are only 1/2 full,expected more.

Divisive company. Can't wait till you go out of business.

I've been buying from Penzeys for years and only go elsewhere when it is something they don't stock. Good quality, and they have lots of great deals so don't believe the garbage being spewed on here about being overpriced-I spend way less on spices from Penzeys than in the grocery store. I love how he pisses off the racists, too, and they are trying to wield the cancel culture (which they whine about all the time) to ruin the ratings on this site.

The owner is a hater and divisive. There are plenty of tolerant, decent places to get spices. Pass on this intolerant, judgemental, divisive hater.

Over priced, horrid attitude towards customers, to politically woke to be reasoned with, or too difficult to talk to (if your opinion doesn't match idealogically with theirs).

It's difficult enough to argue with an intelligent person....It's downright impossible to argue with a closed minded idiot.

Overpriced & NOT worth the money ! I also don’t like businesses that spread hate ! I have lots of republican friends and it was shameful how you portrayed them in your mailings.

Overpriced garbage. Will never buy from here again. Plenty of good spice providers around. No need to use this one.

Not sure if I got a bad batch but when I opened the bottle it just smelled like weird. I was afraid to use it so I tossed it out. Their prices are so high not sure I will be buying again not worth it.

The CEO is unprofessional and offensive. I cancelled my subscription. Do not support this company

Bill Penzey is a terrible person. Candles actually suck too.

I absolutely love this store. I placed an order for about $40 worth of spices about three weeks ago, having never tried them before. A couple days later it said my package had shipped, but I still didn't have it two weeks later. I checked tracking and it said it had been delivered to my mailbox. UPS said it was handed off to the post office so they didn't have track of it. I emailed Penzeys, and explained what had happened. They confirmed my address and said they would RESEND THE ENTIRE PACKAGE. I actually later found the original box in an older rubbermaid container on my porch, nowhere near my mailbox. So, customer service is stellar. I've only tried a couple of the spices so far, but, they have been delicious. I used Tsar Dust in some hamburgers, and, my gosh, best hamburgers I've ever had. I also used some of the Galena Rub on some chicken tenderloins before broiling; it was too spicy for my daughter, but I loved it. It was a great spicy-sweet flavor. I'm looking forward to trying the other spices.
