Not just upload, but verification of ID needed to be able to place an order. However, they got to me in time to get my Black Friday order in! Order sent same day, but th...anks to Canada Post it did not arrive until the next Friday. Still very reasonable.
Customer Service:
The sale was a flash sale and I wasn’t sure I would get my order in because I’ve never purchased from HSP. They comforted me on the forum and ensured my account was activated in time to place the order! Customer service? More like customer success!
Packaging:
The exterior could be any piece of mail. They contained the budders in a cardboard box, reminded me of a takeout box, preventing anyone from really palpating any product in the box. Inside, there’s a vacuum sealed bag and the budders themselves looks super professional, using the ‘one step up’ metal on the back and clear on the front baggies with a custom business card sized sticker with their logo, the strain information, etc. The budders are in silicone bumper rubber containers, which should prevent any seepage into the grooves. It’s the best budder packaging I’ve encountered!
One sticker was included. I stuck it onto an ounce jar for funsies. Maybe I’ll just start putting all my MOM stickers onto my jars.
Perks for me: Legit order, no free samples for review in this one. I got a flash sale BOGO budders on Black Friday. I asked for them to send two different budders for me to review if they wanted (I picked Platinum Cookies) and they did!
Perks for you: Currently there is a sale on buddar for $30 each gram. HSP does regular sales.
Platinum Cookies - 4.2/5
Dank scent profile, spicy and mostly consists of all the good parts of Durban Poison (its other parent is OG Kush), spicy and floral with a sweet head. Flavorful pulls. Very cookie crumbly, or “sugary” not so much a honeycomb wax budder which holds together, making it fussy to work with. It’s not sticky though, more powdery waxy, so when you inevitably drop some on the table, it’s safe to dab it with your fingertip to reclaim. The presence of the spicy notes from the Durban Poison are far more overstated in wax form, making the “cookie” profile that of a Christmas cookie, perhaps a gingerbread or a molasses cookie. One dab sent me skyrocketing into a surging glorious head high. It’s not completely residue free (the fact that it’s notably more terpy than most budders I’ve tried, this doesn’t surprise me), but reasonably smooth and very effective.
Purple Gorilla - 3.8/5
Powerful grape aroma. More of that classic honeycomb wax texture I expect from most budders. It’s also lower in overall flavor profile and quickly loses most of its flavor. The high is a couch locking intense one that kicks in hard and relieves most pain. It gets a bit harsh near the end of the vaporizing experience, so I did not end up with a residue free result either, though my vaporizer makes it very easy to reclaim the resulting dark resin. It is a very effective product.
In short - I recommend HSP for flavorful but slightly less waxy consistency budder. I will definitely consider them in the future for more concentrates and perhaps try their flower at some point. Thanks for reading!
Haven’t smoked a j yet but it sure is tasty in a vape. Very densely coated buds with a high amount of cloudy trichomes. Very strong velvet flavor but also very sweet like candy. 2 weeks in a jar then I’ll try a joint
