Free Samples from Happy Hippo

Post by avemarie »

I was very impressed with free sample, I needed less then my usual amount from another company. The two strains I received were Green Maeng Da and Red Bali, and Green Maeng Da was amazing for energy! I felt so happy and ready to do all my chores for the day lol. The Red Bali was better for the end of the day AFTER doing all my hard work, it took my back pain away instantly and relaxed my entire body, and I was out like a light! Their prices are slightly higher than other vendors but I totally see why, you can take so much less. This is truly high quality stuff and I can't wait to order more. Has anyone else tried their Free Samples?

Your very first post is promoting Happy Hippo samples huh? The prices are not *slightly* higher, they’re significantly higher for average, bulk kratom. If you are just a consumer, there are MUCH better vendors with MUCH better prices that you can find on the Trading Post (which you can join if you contribute enough)

The best thing HH has going is its cute cartoons and impressive descriptions on what their “slightly more expensive” products are intended to do.

I will say, HH has changed a lot in the last year…costs have gone down, they have a rewards program, they do weekly sales and have given much better shipping options. They actually have an amazing team & have taken critiques to heart & made changes. …I think the point of the post is that Kratom that works for someone’s chemistry can come from all different sources and like everyone else here, Avemarie is just pointing pple in the direction of something that worked well for her? I periodically get from hippo when they release new holiday blends, I know a lot of pple who still do.

I’ve said this in previous post but even if they gave me a free kilo I wouldn’t give them any business because happy hippo is completely designed to rip you off. They are just horrible, and probably the worst place when it comes to using advertising to get people to pay more for subpar kratom. Stick to people that actually care, and don’t need a picture of a hippo to sale their product. We have the list, and a few vendors not on it that would be happy to give you a kilo for much less, and in all likelihood way better quality. Ever since I’ve been getting kratom from small batch vendor I can’t even stomach taking old bulk kratom at this point. I shudder to think of some of the bad kratom mitragaia use to sell me before I found this forum, and mewe.

I know about the rewards system and sales. My thing is this is their very first post and it seems suspicious IMO. There are always these new posts about bulk kratom. Anyway, my opinion still stands.

Happy Hippo is the epitome of exploitation of New Krätom users who don’t know that krätom can be fresh, and doesn’t cost 200$ a kilo.

Well, since I never tried them and they're offering a "newbie package" of 3 ounces for free plus shipping, I ordered it for $4.20. It has 1 oz each of slow, moderate and fast strains. This isn't the only "suspicious" looking post I've seen lately by brand new members but we're not supposed to accuse others of shilling although I do wonder if anyone checks IP addresses.

What gets me, is that maybe you lurk on Double M a bit, read some stuff and decide to finally post, and your first post just happens to be a review for HH. And you didn't name the other company, you're amongst friends here, it's a review, good, bad, or indifferent.

I mean yes, you may enjoy it, but have you read anything on Double M and actually tried something else for real??? Seems sus to label them free, plenty of folks here do free samples, and yeah, no shipping either.

Not making any direct accusations here but I feel like I’ve read this same review 4-5 times already on the internet for various other vendors, with just a few things changed here and there. :lol:
