Apparently they don't back their terps with exchanges so I didn't even bother trying. Noseless blue cheese half is why I'll never shop with them again. It's worth a slight premium to shop with people who don't false advertise and back their products fully. No way to review the budget strains because they purposely rotate them before you can have the chance

I need the flower for medical purposes…

I need the flower for medical purposes and it is very high priced. I do not believe I'm getting the points applied either. The product the "toad Venom"and especially is quite good flavor is 9good too. I do think they should give a discount if you're buying a full ounce or you spend so much a month 10 -20% discount . I can't get the points to do much of anything while spendingover $1,000 I've gotten $25 in points or $35 something like that is ridiculous.
I have received $35 discount for purchasing around $1,000 worth of products now that's really sad products good or not that's not proper

The quality and transparency of their product is the best on the internet IMO. Fresh labs for the flower. Concentrations content labeled and linked to lab. Rigid age checking.

All that said. The Banner flower is amazing but I can take a look at other top flower internet vendors and get amazing flower for 30% less.

If money isn’t an object, look nowhere else.

overpriced and weak

The THCA is overpriced and weak. This is weed for people who don't smoke on the reg. If you're a seasoned smoker dont waste your money buying flower from this site. It's trash for vet smokers but great for people with a low tolerance. The comments you see with positive reviews are either bots or low T smokers. Buy if u want and find out for yourself. I got a very mild high from this stuff. I actually felt like I needed to chase the blunt with some nicotine to get a desired effect. Smh it's pretty bad when you feel like you need to smoke a cigarette or a cigar to get the nic rush needed to elevate the high. It's a step up from being trash weed IMO

I’ve had an amazing experience with Arete so far! 🙌 I’ve made two purchases, and the entire process has been incredibly easy. Browsing the products, finding what I wanted, and completing my purchases was super straightforward. Honestly, only a weirdo could have a hard time figuring it out. 😂

After my second purchase, I had a question and their communication was AMAZING. They were responsive, helpful, and made me feel like my question actually mattered.. which I really appreciate.

Great products, an easy shopping experience, and excellent customer communication. I’ll definitely be back for more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Arete is #1 - The luxury flower is actually insane

ive been using arete for like idek almost 3-4 years now. ive tried many other websites in past but nothing is like arete quality and price. you will not find cheaper flower at this level quality. arete "budget" hemp is 20-25% flower and it smacks insane and is literally very high quality. true connoisseurs can tell the quality by look, feel/how it breaks up, the smell is huge sign, the taste, and how good it burns. they also have some of the super top shelf, it doesnt get stronger. i finally spent a little more and its terpenes and flavor is crazy. fingers have so much actual oil all over from breaking apart. ive only had stuff this top shelf once in my life. if i didnt smoke so much i would only buy this stuff, one hit and your done.

Ok. They’re actually pretty dang cool.

I had written a scathing review, but they actually went back and found my original message where I wasn’t happy with my purchase and they apologized and are making it right with a top tier replacement of the same amount. I truly appreciate them taking the time to respond and make it right. Rachel and the team are very helpful.

Great customer service

Had a mess up with delivery and got a real response quickly, and they went out of their way to fix it without even having to ask. Will keep ordering here

First Order Great Experience

First order. Salty Watermelon THCa Flower. Sativa fan and all I can say is this is great bud. I'm an old school one hitter bud puncher and this smokes like real bud and has me in the spot. The customer journey has been top notch throughout. From order placement to a great tracking system to the vacuum sealed packaging with the stickers and sample products. Thank you for the first order gifts and handwritten welcome note from Levi. I appreciate and utilize the insurance offered for "missing" packages, also.

I place an order on the 11/6/26 shipping method Royal Mail 48hr tracked the order was confirmed by email. Since then I have received nothing despite sending two emails asking about my order, no reply, no explanation, no refund. I am very disappointed with the service and it looks like they will take your money but not provide the goods you paid for.

Hi. We are located in the USA and do not ship internationally. I am not sure who you are confusing us with but clearly you have the wrong company as their is no such service as Royal Mail in the USA. I notified TrustPilot but their Ai seems to not understand a simple mistake. Hope whatever your issue is with whomever gets resolved.

I really like the shirts / Oxide Earth Purple / Oxide Earth

Shirt: Oxide Earth Purple / Oxide Earth
I really like the shirts; the color and texture are quite unique. However, it really hits your wallet hard. Two shirts cost around 252 euros, including delivery. On top of that, there is 98 euros in customs duties. 175 euros for a shirt like that is pretty steep. I probably wouldn't do it again.
