      Shipping not free & tea quality decline

      I've been a Dilmah customer for at least eight years and have always been very satisfied with the quality. I always order $75 worth of tea to get the free shipping, but after my last order I began receiving bills from FEDEX for $8. 10. When I contacted Dilmah to inquire why they say shipping is free when it really isn't, they directed me to this notice on their page, which is technically clear, but which I didn't notice when I made the order because I've never had this happen before so I wasn't looking for it: "SPECIAL NOTICE: Free shipping is available to all countries for all orders over USD 75. Your local customs authority may or may not impose duty/taxes or inspection charges on your order, which are not covered by the price of the tea. " So,, although I understand that this is due to tariffs, I think Dilmah is being very disingenuous by their verbiage. I think a straightforward comment like, "Expect tariff charges from the delivery company on top of your original tea cost. " would be more transparent and clear. It should also be put front and center so people notice this straightaway. I also notice that I am now getting a fine dust floating on top of the tea, as I found out that many other people are now complaining about also, now that the company is being run by the son of the original owner. I have copied and pasted the common complaints that my Google search produced about Dilmah below: Negative Feedback Decline in Quality: Some reviews indicate a decline in quality since the brand transitioned to being managed by the founder's sons. Customers have reported receiving tea that contains fine black dust, which they associate with lower quality, and have expressed disappointment in the overall taste compared to previous experiences. 1 Product Issues: There are complaints about specific products, such as the Cardamom and Rose tea, which some customers feel do not contain the advertised ingredients, leading to dissatisfaction. Additionally, concerns have be...

      We I discovered Dilmah teas

      We I discovered Dilmah teas while we traveled in Morocco and found their Earl Grey to be the most floral Earl Grey I've ever experienced. I fell in love with the mint tea there and it is so nice to re-experience at home.

      Best tea on the market. And I’ve been drinking tea for 60 years so I know what I’m talking about. Tea from all over the world. And the Ceylon from Sri Lank is the best in my opinion. Dilmah❤️❤️❤️

      Despite excellent products, your net shopping application is one of the worst. I always have trouble in ordering, shipping and delivery. Serious improvements are necessary.
