When considering best vendors for Kratom, Arena Ethnobotanicals is a brand that is often brought up. But there are many things to consider when deciding to buy from them, and a sensible customer would recognize such things. For example; are the products offered by Arena Ethnobotanicals lab tested? What is the overall quality of the products and are customers satisfied with it? Does Arena Ethnobotanicals charge their customers with incredibly high prices? Is customer service good? This article aims to answer these and many more questions. In the end, we will conclude whether customers should buy from Arena Ethnobotanicals or not.

1) Different Forms Of Kratom

For both capsule and powder form, the choice of quantities specified is the same. Customers have three options; 1, 4, and 8 ounces.

2) Are The Products Lab Tested?

Arena Ethnobotanicals has specified nothing with regards to lab testing of their products. However, they continuously guarantee that their products are of high quality and many reviews by the customers support this.

3) Packaging Quality Of The Products

Nothing has been mentioned on the website with regards to general packaging of the product. But another aspect that should be considered is what kind of packing is done when shipping the products. Well, Arena Ethnobotanicals has assured their customers on their website that the product will be shipped in a plain white box. Hence, they have made sure that the contents of this package cannot be seen or determined by anyone else. Another thing that enforces their discreetness is the fact that they don’t even put their company name on the label.

4) Quality Of The Product Overall

Arena Ethnobotanicals uses natural methods to manufacture their products. They claim to improve their processes continually and in turn, develop the overall quality of their products. There are many positive reviews on the website that highlight that their products are of high quality. It is, however, essential to note that not much has been mentioned about how Arena Ethnobotanicals ensures high-quality products. They don’t mention any manufacturing processes or any lab tests.

5) Shipping

The brand uses USPS to ship their products. Same-day shipping is also offered to customers if orders are placed before 2 PM (Pacific Time).

Arena Ethnobotanicals also offers a wholesale option. They also offer to sell raw products that can be further packaged by the relevant customer.

Maeng Da Kratom generally is a popular product. It is famous in both powder and capsule, form. Even though it is expensive, its effects and benefits are worth the money. This product helps not only in pain relief but also helps in depression and anxiety. It boosts the users’ mental capabilities, making the user more alert. Aside from improving users’ mood, it keeps energy levels high as well.

Premium Bali is another well-known product. It is available in both powder and capsule. The prices for this strain is not that high, compared to Maeng Da Kratom. Premium Bali helps with pain relief primarily. While helping the user in relaxing, it also enhances cognitive functions.

Prices for products are different for each category. In the category of Kratom, capsules cost around 15 USD – 147 USD. And the powder form costs about 14 USD – 126 USD.
In the category of Salvia Divinorum, the leaves cost between 11 USD – 149 USD. The extracts in the category of Salvia Divinorum cost around 12 USD – 290 USD.

Wild Dagga Leaf costs around 9 USD – 25 USD. The organic Dream Herb costs between 9 USD – 100 USD.

The above paragraph indicates that the prices charged by Arena Ethnobotanicals is high. They offer reasonable prices for all products in small quantities. And when compared to other vendors, these relevant prices are relatively fair. However, for products with high quantities, the prices are incredibly high. If customers want bigger quantity products, they would be better off with other vendors that charge reasonable rates.

One way to overcome this problem of high prices is to have coupons that are available on any sites, such as; www.couponsplusdeals.com. A simple google search will suffice for this.

Another way to overcome this problem is by joining the affiliate program. The program provides customers with 5% of the money charged upon referrals.

Arena Ethnobotanicals is not active at all on social media platforms, such as; Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. This inactivity is a shame considering this is another way they could have remain in touch with their customers. They could have used such a platform to alert their customer of new deals, products. They could have used it to market their brand, in general.

Some can say that the Return Policy of Arena Ethnobotanicals is quite strict. If a customer wants to return a product, they must do so within 30 days of receipt, and the product should be in original packaging. Moreover, if the product is assembled or modified, the return of the product will not be allowed. However, this negative aspect can be overcome by the fact that they offer 100% money-back guarantee. And they will be relaxed as to requirements of return if they themselves have done something wrong.

Another negative feature is the fact that California residents add sales tax. Hence, customers may have to pay more.

Customers of Arena Ethnobotanicals also do not have many methods they can employ to get in touch with the relevant representatives. Firstly, Live Support is often offline; hence, customers can’t choose that. However, this can be overcome by the fact that there are other methods of contact. There is an online form and a phone number.

There have also been many negative passionate reviews with regards to customer services and shipping. These customers claim that their products were shipped extremely late (like 20 days late). Furthermore, whenever these customers would email the relevant representatives to inquire about the product and its shipping, there would be no reply. There would be no willingness to rectify this issue.

While they claim that their customer service is available from 9 AM to 5 PM (Pacific Time), customers still find it hard to reach them. More negative reviews suggest that the live support on the website is always offline. And the calls are also not received. All this highlights a very negative view of the customer service overall.

On their website, Arena Ethnobotanicals claim to sell Kratom in the form of tinctures and live leaves. But nothing on their products page indicates that. Hence, one can conclude that they can mislead clients to an extent.

In their products section, one can see that Arena Ethnobotanicals offers few strains only. This is not ideal for those who are looking for more options. And it’s also not suitable for those who are looking for a specific strain.

While there may be many positive reviews with regards to the quality of products, their reliability can still be brought into question. The fact that no mention has been made of lab tests of the products puts into question the legitimacy of Arena Ethnobotanicals. Kratom is already a very controversial substance. And then adding on the fact that the products are not tested for contamination, Salmonella or heavy metal poisoning makes it very hard for customers to buy from Arena Ethnobotanicals.

While the many features of Arena Ethnobotanicals may be attractive and there may be positive reviews generally, the main areas that the brand is lacking in are prices and credibility. The prices, as shown above, are very high, and customers may be deterred from buying from this vendor. And the fact that quality and credibility can be so quickly questioned makes it even worse.
