^ By chance, was it citra? I ordered several pounds from Niko over BF weekend and everything went smoothly except the pound of citra was not air tight.

For the prices and selection, I'd still recommend Niko. They are how I plan to purchase all my hops going forward.

No it was actually Northern Brewer. There was a slight fold in teh bag where it was sealed shut... I think that let it lose it's vacuum.

Placed an order for 10 pounds of hops around noon today. Come back from lunch got an email that said it shipped in two boxes, here's the tracking #s.

Wow, that's pretty awesome service, the price was great too about $150. My lhbs is $2-3/oz. So, I saved myself ~$250.

Thanks Niko,

Yeah, I purchased a few pounds from them a couple months ago. Great prices, instant shipping. I put their magnet on my fridge. I usually throw that type of crap away. Wanted it there to make conversation because I would like to promote a great business. I always shop around, but their process are hard to beat and the service is great. The product was vacuum packed in THICK o2 barrier bags and clearly labeled with the variety, aa%, and year.

Look at me, in a walking billboard :-D

I've ordered 6-10 times from them. Always quick shipping, well packaged. A+

First, 10 lbs is awesome. Second, I don't order from them much but the few times I have, it's been great.
I hope they know their service is appreciated.

I just ordered 9# 2 weeks ago or so. Had them in a few days. And $5 shipping is worth it!

 

[northcal]

For sure, sandy!

They emailed me and said my order was too large to fit into one $5 box, so they were sending it in two boxes instead. However, they would send both for the advertised $5 rate.

Sweet,

Nice! I had a big shipping snafu with USPS on my first shipment and Niko sent me fresh hops and refunded my first shipment. Can't complain!

 

[Dert]

Just got mine...



Two bags were leaking (air only, lost vacuum) and the boxes were obviously man handled...



Very happy, fast shipping!

Didn't get mine yet, or the local kids stole a bunch of green stuff they thought was a different kind of herb. Looks good,

I've seen worse packaging from the lhbs, so you should be good to go.

Best,

I like these guys. Good prices, fast shipping. The bags are solid as a rock. They are all exactly 2.1 oz in the package.

 

[jturie]

These guys are my go-to for hops. Ain't nuthin getting through that packaging. Very fast shipping too.

I bought 4lbs of hops on cyber Monday from nikobrew and the vaccum seal on one of the bags had become un-sealed during shipping.

I emailed them this morning, and in less than an hour later they've told me they're sending a replacement lb of cascade.

Not sure if anyone here has used or heard of them before, but I just wanted to share that I had a great experience with them.

 

[soccerdad]

Good company. Mike Wilser (wilserbrewer) told me about them a year or so ago. Good experiences with them.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

I have had great luck with them and have ordered hops many times from them. Love the $5 flat shipping.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I merged this thread with an exiting thread reviewing Niko Brew in the Company Review subforum. Cheers!
