Overall an easy, accurate ordering experience
September 13, 2021

Overall an easy, accurate ordering experience. However, I am concerned about promoting Chondracanthus chamissoi from Peru as Chondrus crispus from colder, northern coastlines. In today's global market, replacing one red alga with another, totally different genus / species is disingenuous.

Hi Shannon, thank you for your review. You can get email notifications when items are back in stock. Next to the item should be a "gray envelope", where you can add your email.

Hi Lou, we are currently working on lowering the free shipping threshold, so this option should be available for smaller orders soon.
