Spices Inc. is a new to me company and I've only had the pleasure of placing one order but I am sold on the customer service, spice quality, and products.
I generally source from a local shop in Columbus Ohio but sometimes they don't have what I'm looking for. Sure I could hit up multiple smaller international markets to find what I want but I didn't want to drive all over.
I hunted for online suggestions from a Facebook foodie group I'm in and of course they all extolled the greatness of Penzys. I'm not impressed with the selection, in store customer service, or lack of transparency in product sourcing. I could hit up my local Kroger or Giant Eagle if you're wanted spices of unknown origin.
Spices Inc hits all those markers. The spice description even goes into the history of the spice/herb, where it's sourced, and helpful tips on how to use it. Which is great because even as a pretty well versed home cook I stumbled on some new to me spices and dried peppers.
At Spices Inc I can get things like arrowroot powder in bulk the same time I can get pasilla de Oaxaca, and dried Curry leaves. I am already thinking about my next Spices Inc order. Even if I already have two lazy Susan's, a 16 bottle spice rack, and a plastic shoe box filled with even more spices. There's always room for more spices in the kitchen of a foodie!
