Quality

I would definitely buy these again, superb quality!

Great product i will buy again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for great star anise

Approximately a third to one half of them were broken.

I was hesitant to buy this as i have always purchased it in the bulk bin at whole foods but they stopped carrying it last year.

Price

This is a great deal on a large amount of star anise.

I've paid so much more for so much less.

Whole foods sells a package of 5-6 star anise for $4!

It is a real bargain compared to the grocery store price.

Shipping

This arrived quickly and in great shape!

They arrived in a timely manner, and pretty much all of them are fully intact stars.

Very few pieces were broken - it is packaged in a sturdy plastic container - and is just gorgeous.

Competitiveness

If you use a lot of star anise, this is a great buy.

Enough came through while that i believe i still came out ahead in the price comparison to other vendors.

I figured i’d give these a shot as you get about three times as much in terms of quantity as some of the competitors i’ve seen ... Read More

Surprisingly little damage to the stars compared to other brands i've had.
