Valkyrie Botanicals

Has anyone tried Valkyrie? If so what are your recommendations?

They're legit, but mainly a Facebook vendor (never got much traction on Reddit) .. why? Because they're just a little bit over-priced. Always check the PPG! Price Per Gram is .19 for their 8-Ounce package. Green Hulu, Sulawesi, Maeng Da, do you see anything really NEW and different? Compared to ... pick FIVE random vendors on the Vendor List. Look under the General folder it's posted there, also on https://saidit.net/s/KratomVendors/

It's a crowded market. Valkyrie does have a website - Visit the website, BOOM it says E-Check. And quote "..." about Payment methods. Let's just say they are really limited. I hope it's OK to talk about E-check, (and Money Orders) here, because it's a direct payment, NOT a credit card or online processor .. I don't do E-Check and would advise everyone to avoid that. Allowing a vendor, direct access to your Checking Account ? No thanks!!

Valkyrie WAS on the Vendor List several months back, but they got bumped because it's a Top 40 - meaning there are 40 other vendors who are better, faster, and cheaper. I'm working on the NEW Fall Vendor List right now .. and there will be some changes. As usual! lol

Add -- check their website. Just noticed "most" of their leaf is Out Of Stock.

Small vendors who lose their payments, then lose their stock.. right at Peak Season ... should be avoided IMO. But!! For some reason, they always leave their website up. Funny how that works?

Works for me! Thanks for being sensitive to the issue, Ballz. I wish we didn't have to do it at all, but you know some people gotta be dicks.

E-Checks involve merchant bank consent, though, right...? If that ends up problematic too then I guess that will be forbidden as well, my apologies. Glad you brought it up, though; I'll let it stand because I don't know of any problems with that, only with other payment methods.

Same here. If it were a truly established vendor I had already done business with I -might- consider it, -might-maybe-possibly-, but not a vendor I didn't know and couldn't find reviews for, oh hell no. You remember the TexasTim/KratomLeague drama, I'm sure -- imagine giving HIM direct access to your checking account just because he had an ad or two here.

What's up with that, anyway? Are they not paying their bills, exit scamming? What would drive that? Genuinely curious.
