Purchase from Matt Monarch's Raw World???

[Juicing Juli]

I placed an order on 2/1. Their web site has said for days "still processing". Today after I called and left a message I got an email saying it left their warehouse today.
I won't order from them again (also $8.95 for standard shipping from Cali to Chicago) if this is a standard.
Looking for some great sources for hard to find raw ingredients. I purchase a pound of organic chia seeds because their price blew away W.F.

:sad:

Azure Standard (http://www.azurestandard.com/) has organic chia seeds for $5.65 for 1 lb, $19.15 for 3 lbs or $22.75 for 5 lbs. Not sure what they charge for UPS delivery but there is probably a drop point close to you this year since they expanded their coverage to IL, IN, and more. You may want to check them out. They have maca, lacuma and other harder to find items. They don't carry everything (such as irish moss), but they do carry a lot of organics for decent prices. And if you get things delivered to a drop point the shipping is only 8.5% of your total purchase instead of based on weight. We're getting 25 lbs of raw oat groats for just under $19 which makes shipping for 25 lbs (on their truck) of only $1.61! Though you do need to buy $50 to avoid a $5 handling fee, I don't find it hard to buy that much at a time from them. 38 lbs of oranges for $23 is a great deal for us and they are organic! We're also getting 20 lbs of organic juice apples (not pretty enough for a store) for $10 this month. That's 58 lbs of organic fruit for $33. I know I can't find that anywhere locally!

Oh, you also have to deal with them only shipping once a month to you, but it's not that difficult to plan. :)

PS: for anyone wondering, I'm not associated with them at all, I'm just a very, very satisfied customer and thrilled to have access to cheaper, organic alternatives compared to what I can find locally. I couldn't afford to be raw or organic if I didn't have Azure. Especially for the nuts and seeds! The closest organic food store (a small food co-op) is 15 miles away (I can't afford to buy a car yet) and it's quite expensive.

Good to know. I am planning on ordering some stuff and I was trying to decide if I wanted to go through longevitywarehouse or get it all from therawfoodworld. I've ordered through therawfood world in the past several times and everything arrived promptly. Maybe they needed to get in more chia seeds before they could ship your order?

Awesome , awesome, awesome!!! Thank you Sunshine MN!!! I'm going to check it out for sure. I think I'm paying a little less than $10 for 1 lb of Chia. I did pick up a couple other items too.

Another vote for Azure Standard! I'm fortunate in that they're just a little bit west of us in Dufur, OR. I'm also lucky in that our food co-op (for lack of a better term) gets weekly shipments in from them. But even if I went back to 1X a month - I'd do it. They have items we can't find anywhere here in our town.

Did you check Amazon? They source from Raw Food World and sometimes have Super Saving Shipping. I buy Chia Goodness from them and it ships from Raw Food World. Last time it took longer as it was out of stock. And it was cheaper from them than directly from the company that makes it.
