Finding the best kratom vendor to shop with online can be a daunting task for someone relatively new to the kratom world. If that person doesn’t have any friends or contacts purchasing the herb online it makes it even harder. Of course they can do Google searches and read reviews, etc. But who is to say they aren’t reading reviews on a website manufactured for the vendor? Or reading all of the raves of dozens of shill accounts created in order to increase the reputation of a particular business?

The general rule of thumb is buy from one of the more popular vendors who fulfill a ton of orders on a daily basis. Just doing a google search for a kratom vendor isn’t sufficient, as many vendors own multiple businesses and websites and you may think you are going to try out a new company but in fact it is the same company that you ordered from last time and the time before, both of which were meant to be different companies! Sound unrealistic? It’s not. Selling kratom online is a competitive industry and vendors pull out all sorts of tricks from the book in order to do so.

Of course there is always a possibility that you could get scammed after placing an order with an unknown vendor. Because of this it is highly recommended that you only use a payment method that will allow a reversal of charges if the deal doesn’t go through. Another thing to consider is that the product that you receive could be adulterated with something other than kratom. This is a scary thought since the herb is often ingested into the body for processing.

Check out the website of the vendor you are considering making a purchase from. Are there signs of security? Maybe they have a SSL certificate on the site? Do they accept safe money transfer platforms like PayPal? Is the website professionally designed and seem updated? Once you’ve dotted all of those i’s you would be advised to focus on reviews. Click the 1 star reviews to read what some of the most disgruntled customers have to say. Of course you should take their input with a grain of salt, as anyone in business knows that there are plenty of people that just can’t be pleased. The 4 star reviews are often most helpful as they show users who are happy enough but maybe there was something wrong? Look for patterns. Be vigilant! Enjoy kratom!
