kept money order never sent product or returned calls
I spoke w the general manager and owner Summer, before sending in payment of $145 to make sure address was correct and she told me to ship money order and order form directly addressed to her at International Oddities 2785 P.C.H. E-801 Torrance, Ca 90505. I ordered the buy 3 cans get a 4th free deal. I told her I was going to overnight the money order and order form and wanted to pay the $30 expedited shipping to get the order shipped faster on her end. She told me dont pay the $30 for rush shipping just pay $10 for the shipping since xmas was approaching they were rushing all orders out regardless of what option we picked. I overnighted my payment to her which i tracked she recieved on wed. 12/14/16 @ 12:43noon. Its now 12/24/16 and i have left her 3 voicemails in the last 10 days and she never returns my calls. I have tried using the "contact us" page on their website where they promise they will get back to you in 2hrs and it says they have an internal server error and cant take my message. I call the 1800 number and its all automated info and then disconnects. I have never in my life dealt w such an unprofessionall company or "customer service" manager. They basically just stole my money and ignore my calls. I feel i got royally screwed
Oh i forgot to add I really do love their product. Krypto and bahli bubble taste freakin great and for those of you who cant smoke the real deal due to whatever reason, it is a good substitute. My problem is w how they ignore customer voicemails for weeks, hold onto your money and you have no way of talking to anyone. Not returning someones voicemails after you have given them alot of your hard earnex money is wrong on many diff levels. At this point Im not sure if they lost my money, or what since no one returns calls or emails.
The manager of Customer service returned my call 12/28 and explained many of them were out of the office for holidays and also their computer system went down due to a virus. She is currently working w me on tracking my order she says was sent out the 21rst and isnt sure why i never recieved product.So she is helping me w the issue. I plan on continueing to be an IO customer if all works out. she called from the main customer services number of 310-702-2696. Since she called and was very sincere i truly believe it was due to reasons given on her end. Also I have read USPS is extremely behind on package shipments. Since she has contacted me I feel that it is still a company i want to continue business with. I still feel they need a better way of communication w customers a more direct route but if their system did in fact have a virus and went down this would explain the internal server error i kept recieving when i tried emailing them directly from their site. So in a nutshell all I can say is I believe their CSR manager is doing a good job especially considering the vast ammount of individual and wholesale customers. If you trully want a good smoking alternative this is by far the best product and is worth the wait. 1 hr later Summer the CSR manager and owner called me back again to let me know since package is lost in the USPS abyss, she is sending out a bulk order of what i previously ordered to make it right. She said if by chance i get both packages consider it a xmas-bday gift as today is my bday. This is truly the way customer service should work. I am at this point very pleased that the company does make it right in a situation such as this. So in a nutshell if anyone reading this is wondering should i buy from I.O? My answer is yes. The product is great and although at times it is hard to reach them (especially week of holidays) they will do whatever they have to do to make the customer happy. Thank you Complaintsboard.com for your help, and summer if you read this, thank you for making everything right.

the crap they sell is dangerous
They don't test the crap they sell and they certainly don't warn anyone of the dangerous effects. My brother ordered some products from them and a week after receiving them he killed himself. He had never shown any suicidal tendencies before and after doing some research i find out these products they're peddling without FDA regulation can cause psychosi...

dream smoke and ultra wizard smoke
in 1992 I tried dream smoke and ultra-wizard smoke and yes it was from international oddities. the dream smoke gave me nausea and a headache (as a cigarette, in a waterpipe, and a hand pipe), the ultra-wizard smoke did nothing at all (same methods as the dream smoke, yet no buzz what-so-ever!! in summer 1997 I tried their "dro buds" sample in the plastic...

i bought a can of "krypto" bud. smelled pretty good & strong. tasted ok, but only gave a "baby" buzz, really just a tease barely noticeable. i'll hand it them for their marketing savvy-ness, all the pictures & bs "testimonials really are allureing ! but product is not what i was lead to believe. won't be ordering from them again. chalk it up to a $45 lesson learned.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was desperate to smoke some bud, so i figured i'd try this stuff and see how it was. Yes, the delivery was fast and yes, it came with free papers and rolling machine, but the actual product was complete ###. Smells bad, hurts your throat (and i am not a pussy), tastes gross, and did absolutely nothing. The resin ### you get tastes like burnt rubber. I was highly disappointed and felt really stupid, but what did i expect? Its my own damn fault! A couple days later my dealer finally texted me. Thankfully! If you think 50+ bucks is worth a rolling machine, some hemp papers, and ### ur gonna probably gonna throw away is worth it, be my guest. Otherwise save your money!
scam
FYI - Anyone who has ordered from International Oddities and has discovered it is a total scam and paid by debit or credit card may call their bank or card issuer and dispute the charge. I did get a number from my bank to try to resolve the issue which is [protected] but I got voice mail for a general manager and my phone call was not returned. I...

This company gives the impression to the consumer that their beautiful buds are "Hybrids" which to most people in the know means a hybrid of the marijuana plant spliced in with some other legal herb plant that packs a legal wallop of chemicals like Kava Kava, Valerian, Ginkoba Biloba, etc. Therefore, you get the distinct impression and expectations that...
Read full review of International Oddities and 4 commentsonline scam
I was trying to find a cannabis substitute and found this company advertising its "legal buds". I bought one can of their "Krypto" - and let me tell you - the stuff not only tasted AWFUL, smelled AWFUL, and did not give me a buzz AT ALL! I am very upset to have been SCAMMED! If you want a good substitute, I recommend trying any of the K2 products - at least THOSE WORK! I bought this because it claimed to be real, natural buds...and NO REFUNDS, so you're SCREWED!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Again those thinking they will get a thc effect are in for disappointment. I enjoy I.o. Love krypto bud, panama gold bud and black widow. I have been a regular for a year. I don't have any complans.
i'd just like to make a note here that on IO's website it is stated, "Our legal bud (sometimes called legal weed) products do not contain marijuana, nor are they offered as legal marijuana, marijuana alternatives, legal highs, herbal highs or presented or labeled as such." maybe everyone should read the fine print
not what they advertise
does not look like what is advertised, and smells like some kind of bad chemical.Ordered 3 can spesial, and all 3 cans plus the free can smell identically the same. They say that the sell bud, these are not buds, just a bunch of bad smelling stuff, that is rolled into a ball.
FYI - Anyone who has ordered from International Oddities and has discovered it is a total scam and paid by debit or credit card may call their bank or card issuer and dispute the charge. I did get a number from my bank to try to resolve the issue which is [protected] but I got voice mail for a general manager and my phone call was not returned. I encourage everyone who has been scammed to dispute the charge and hopefully you can obtain a refund. Also apparently the only "legal" product which was supposedly somewhat worthwhile K2 Blonde has been banned nationalwide as of December 19 so don't be fooled into buying anything else.
international oddities is a fluke
International Oddities Inc. posted on there web site that the legal herb, 'KRYPTO', Was rated nine out of ten as the best legal herb there is. They also have comments poasted on there web site from people who supposedly used the product and rated it to the highest level, saying, "Between six people, 3 bowls were burned and it made them incapable of driving. I orderd a half for myself based on the 5 star raitings and the excelent comments from people who supposedly used the product. I am half way through the bag and "ABSOLUTLLY" nothing happens. This product is 0% of what they make it seem to be. They dont even come close to distrubiting the product that they clame and something should be done. My comment: DONT BUY FROM INTERNATIONAL ODDITIES Inc. THE COMPANY IS A FLUKE!
I ordered a can of Krypto of the International Oddities website well over a month ago and I have yet to even receive a shipping notice. I've looked all over the internet for a number to call and none work. Don't give me the bull**** about how the number is on the site, Let me tell you, it's just an automated recording. They took my money and I didn't et my product
OK, I just received my 3+1 more can special (Krypto, Stunk, A'hia & Skyscraper). In keeping this one short, here's my analogy. This is only the cream or cherry part to the sundae. You need to add "you're own ice cream to it. I'd say 50/50 ratio has been successful for me. Each one is very similar except the A'hia which is not clumped and formed together (an actual plant budding). Only problem is the A'hia gave me nothing as far as an effect. Krypto & Stunk smelled very similar (yes, like potpourri) and after much vaporizing (approx. 15-20 min.) it did bring some relaxation. But mixed w/ the real deal, it was just right. Think of it as sort of an enhancer.
slick marketing, aka scam
After much research, I came to the conclusion that I just need to try it for myself. Take it from me, dont! Its complete #ing garbage. Bunch of herbs probably oregano, catnip, wild dagga etc.. Mashed and sprayed together. No buds. Mashed up garbage. Whoever is in charge of marketing for this company is pretty slick, and a #ing #. All these jokers need to be shut down. Dont even think one site is better than the other either, because they re all same products except i. O fancies it up with better packaging and presentation. I hope one day someone takes the time to shut all these #ing people down. I'll be there supporting or signing whatever I can to see it through. It is irresponsible to sell and promote products like this. Thanks for my bag of # cooking herbs you crooks. At first I gave i. O the benefit of a doubt, but I was fooled sadly. I'd be better off wiping my # with $80 and throwing it out of a speeding car on the freeway.
With all hopes you all at i. O get shutdown, or sink away in an earthquake or something.
Thanks you #s.
hahahaha this great...how ### are legal buds?
charged me twice
I used to smoke allot of weed in the 80's (Showing my age right there) and I have always enjoyed it. I only ocaisonally am able to find some these days but when I do, I use it for medicinal purposes; I am Bi-Polar and it is known that pot is the best drug for Bi-polar people and there are many studies to have it legalized medcinaly for this purpose. Getting older, I was concerned with buying illegal drugs so I did some research online for legal alternative buds and came across International Oddities. I decided to place an order, which I really couldn't afford because I am on disability, but my current meds leave me feeling like something is missing so I justified spending $90.00 on legal buds at International Oddities.
I placed an online credit card order (Debit Card from SSD) and was told at the last stage that there was something wrong with my card, do not use your browsers back button but use this button below to go back and try again; so, I did, and reentered all my information...same problem at the end, so, like an idiot, I clicked their button and tried again and got the message that my card was declined. So I gave up, screw it. I decided to look at my SSD debit card online statement and holy crap, I got charged $90.00 TWICE for an order that never went through, I got no confirmation number on their site nor an email saying thank you for your order etc.
Come to find out, after doing research online, International Oddities does this ALLOT and screws people out of money. BEWARE PEOPLE! There are NO refunds at all, PERIOD...even if it is their screw up. There is an 800 number on their site so I called it and had to listen to a 10 minute babble of how wonderful their site is, etc. and finally got to choose 3 choices, how to order online, how to order by mail and press 3 for telephone orders...so I pressed #3. I explained my situation to the woman who was actually quite nice despite what I have heard about ### sales people on the phone from this company. She typed something into her computer...for all I know she was typing an email to her mom, and said that she would have them call me to correct the situation. I should have asked who "Them" was but forgot to I guess. So far after 3 days there is no return phone call. There is an email address on their website and I tried that but that is as useless as trying to email the pope.
My SSD debit card statement still shows 2 $90.00 pending cash online payments and the $180 is in cyber limbo and I'll probably never see it again. I did call my debit card company and the only thing they told me was to contact the company and cancel your order...HA, International Oddities could give a CRAP about their customers.
For some reason, like an idiot, I did a ton of research online on International Oddities only after my issue and found that this is common practice for the company because they stand behind their no refund policy...so basically they screw you and tuff crap for you. I personally cannot comment on their product seeing as though I never even got to really place my order, but after my online research I have found that their stuff is crap and you might as well open up a tea bag and smoke that because you'll get the same effect...ZILTCH!
There are reputable companies out there that sell great products like shamansgarden.com where you can buy wild dagga that actually works and costs WAY less, but be careful, MOST of the companies that sell this sort of stuff are fake and sell crap pressed with sugar and water and colored with dye.
So, stay AWAY from International Oddities unless you want to take the chance of getting ripped off of your money with no hopes of getting it back. Sometimes it takes a bite in the butt to learn a lesson!
Actually I did but forgot to mention it in my complaint. I was never charged for any product in the end and did get ALL my money back credited to my account. Their products are crap and do not work so I am very happy that I was never charged nor received my order. Anyone who wants a legal alternative should try either Red Dragon, Black Dragon or K2 Blonde, that stuff actually works and is amazingly VERY effective.

Damn like an idot. I ordered it online and the same ### happened too me. It kept saying oops! that something was incorrect on my debit card. Hopefully they don't ###ing charge me or i'll be ###ing pissed. International Oddities is a complete SCAM! I can't believe their actually in High Times Magazines. WTF!
this company is a rip off and all the comments about them being anything but are from the company itslef read all the other complaints and all the possitive comments are the same. i was STUPID enought to purchase some of thier dro it smelled like chewing tabacco and smoking it was horrible but i didnt stop because i wanted to share with eveyone out there what would happen if you did smoke the stuff for a long period of time. it made me extremely ill and i ended up going to the doctor with complaints of chest pains told him what i was trying and gave him a sample. my doc had it anilized and come to find out there are extremely harmfull chemicals in this [censor] that proplonged use can cause cancer, not reffering to the fact that it is a tabacco based product but the other [censor] they put in it so all in a nut shell if you smoke it you will die!
What I think is funny is that you never even bothered to call back. If that was me I would have called and told them the problem. It baffles me that you wouldn't even raise an issue with them about it. you only called once and that was the end, so if anyhing your dumb fr not even trying to get a solution out of the money you lost...From what I've researched on the internet the competitors company does that a lot. So if anything I don't believe you either you sound just like one of the competitors puppets. Good luck not getting your 180 back. You probably wont since you didn't give an effort. ### I've been on disability and 180 was a lot for me to loose. Not just that I would have been calling them off the hook.

I am just posting this hoping others may read it and save themselves some money. I saw some flashy ads for 'real legal buds' from international oddities, that took me to the website is internationaloddities.com that said experience the pleasure of real bud, so I clicked them. I was amazed that I could buy this stuff legally, so I immediately placed a trial...
