Cottonwoods.ca

Overall rating out of 10: 6 UPDATED FROM 8 TO 6

Sign Up: Sign up with email, no ID required

Ordering & Pricing: Cheapest FSE online, average pricing otherwise

Communication: Communication was decently quick, order was processed very fast

Packaging: Single Vacuum seal bag which wasn't very tightly compressed so I believe it had a leak. No big deal

Products / Photos: https://imgur.com/a/MbM4mx7

2g Lemon Meringue - Smells just like EmergenC powder vitamin c stuff. Nice consistency of sauce to diamonds. Very mild orange taste

2g Dutch Treat - Smelt like a mix of fruits and gas, had nice size diamonds. Tasted sub par unfortunately, have had shatters that taste much better.

2g Sour Ambrosia - Smells very sour, not in a bad way. Similar look to the Dutch Treat but also sub par on the taste.

2g Jet Fuel OG - Very gassy strain, nice clear diamonds that are suspended in a thick sauce. Mild flavour aswell.




Incentive for Customers: Good pricing

Incentive for Review: No one writes reviews on anything cuz yall lazy, every order deserves a review.

Notes: Over all it was a very good experience using this company, well priced product and the shipping wasn't expensive at all. Package was order on the 14th and arrived on the 15th which is insanely fast. I didn't receive a tracking ID but didn't have much time to care as it only took a day to get to me. Only reason this site is getting a 8/10 is that the sauce tasted sub par. Smelt amazing but just did not smoke like other sauce ive had. Thats why im saying its well priced, as it may be ran from not top notch flower like others. Have nothing bad to say really, just my honest opinion. Will definitely order again, but if the quality is the same next round I may have to pass after that point. I truly enjoy the flavour of extracts and if thats not there I cant have it.

EDIT: As my review clearly states, I like terps and terps weren't really what this sauce had. The company agreed multiple times to send me a sample, first of shatter with my order but they seemed to run out. Second time they said they would send me a sample of a new fse batch to see if i liked it. I told them I didn't wanna order again if flavour was no prominent in the sauce. They said once its done they will send one out, i followed up as it seems they forgot. It was never sent as i've waited over a week now and seems they are just ignoring my emails. That's a huge NONO for me so I will NOT be ordering again.

"Drop me an email so I can send you a sample of new batches"
if the MOM in question and the Reviewer have completed a transaction why is an email needed to be dropped? This should read, We sent you an email with a tracking number for the samples that have been shipped to compensate you for the MEH product we shipped and a thank you for the wicked review you posted"
everything is peace , love and free until the thrill of the shill fades and the products and service sour. right sabrina?

Uhhh.... First off, they need you to email them as my name isn't Bob Rakem, its actually pretty smart confirming the reviewer and orderer as you may send a sample to some random that ordered the same stuff as me. Givin thats unlikely but still smarter to ask then not to ask. Secondly the product is pretty good, for the cost you cant compare. Its not crazy on the terps, i wanted to make that clear in the review, which i think i did. Has amazing effects though. I really dont know what your deal is lol, my review was as honest as it could get. If they wanna send me a sample, by all means. No one is shilling anything here.

Did you ever consider maybe the MoM doesn't know who posted this? Also considering the offer was for a sample of the new batch I doubt it's ready to go out already. That being said it's sad to see that apparently quality has dropped off a bit on the large batch and price has gone up, unless that's due to extra weight lost purging at a higher temp.

my point is...the words FREE look good for new businesses . Congrats on your good fortune. Free is good, but not good business..the 50$ give away usually gets tacked onto other products to compensate.
thank you for the review..i learned their product is just average..So i will not try them

Free Shipping threshold? $20 Xpress just doesn't sound very appealing tbh...
I ask the same questions ^ as HALIDAZED ...any CMoM discounts ?
Pricing looks like a bargain on their FSE , Flowers look good also. I'm not ready to pull the trigger until more quality reviews are posted .....or maybe a small sampler for a 100% honest review might get some interest ?

20$ for shipping is fine, when you charge 60% less then the average market for a product. This is wholesale pricing, you should not expect free shipping unless your order a large amount. I believe their threshold is 2'000$

Not complaining about shipping, just inquiring since I couldn't find on site. The review said it was lacking what most competition FSE has, so charging less makes sense. And I didnt think asking about coupons was unreasonable since it literally asks you if you have a coupon to input on the site. in your cart.

As i try to make every review honest and non bias, I never got my sample. I followed up the following week, they said they would send it out the next day. After waiting almost a week, nothing. I emailed again to only get ignored. Will be updating review to a 6/10 for ignoring me and falsely making themselves look better by saying they will send it out.

they get a mailing list....my back up commercial address i use for sign ups for everything is now being bombarded with unknown dispensaries..its easy to dump them in spam..but trying to unsubscribe creates even more spam. my problem here is when i travel i carry my tablet..i do not expect getting pulled into secondary to be searched re entering canada , but if one day my luck fails and i get random search..i don't want that that shit spam coming into my mail waiting for mr customs to find it.
too many hassles for what? a free cookie?

Rule #1 of internet, never use an email address that you care for in any shape way or form when registering for whatever. I have a hotmail account I've had since like 1993 that I still use to this day for this reason specifically, I've given it to hundreds of sites/business over the years. Back before Microsoft implanted spam control, I used to get 2-400 messages per day on that address. I had a massive set of filters to sort it all out... Nowadays I only get perhaps 5-10 spam messages on it per week?

Anyways...

that is what i have..it is still a bother to get POT related mail unsolicited. Did not get any prior to sabrinas arrival. I use the trash email to sign up to Reddit and this site.. nobody seems to point fingers at either spots for selling email lists of members just saying...at least once its legal so will the spam.

Bob, I have no idea why emails are bouncing for you - I have setup a secondary email: [email protected] if anyone needs to contact.

As for your sample I will gladly send you one of the next available batch. At the moment we have nothing but Dutch Treat as our subsequent batches sold out locally instantly.
Im good on the sample. Thanks

I like Bryce as a person, and my experience with him has been good, except for one order. I share the same experience for a slab of shatter. Bryce reached out and I told him it was sub-bar, it was dark shatter and the quality didn't match what we agreed on. He offered a slab with a discounted price. I didn't get it back then. And he forget about it when I brought it up after like a week . That's the part that got me tbh. (he re-offered me a discounted slab when I remembered him)

The reason I'm sharing my exp is not to hit someone when he is down. I'm sharing it because I like Bryce, and I'd like him to improves his customer service.

Doesn't seem like an accident to me... Its kinda hard to forget something like that.. twice lol. I was planning on supporting this business and being a regular but i cant justify paying 40$ for a sauce you were charging 25 for the initial round. Especially when a top notch competitor is selling and oz for 45-55$ a G.
