Shipping took an eternity. I could have grown the spices and ground them myself in the time it took my order to arrive. Good grief. Next time I'll go to the grocery store. I was really surprised to discover that Spice House (Bill Penzey Jr.) is a sister company to Penzey's Spices (Bill Penzey Sr.). These two companies are very different. Penzey's Spices has quick shipping and great customer service; Spice House took weeks to ship my order and the person(s) who replied to my inquiries was a real jerk. No more Spice House for me.
