doublem n00b seeks split kilo, decent price & quality

This is my first post to the forum. I hope I'm not violating any etiquette rules! I'm glad to find this place.
Long story short, my experience lately with online buys has been . . . really bad. I'll put a lot of work into finding good deals, but the product has been abysmal. I have tried Kat's, Viable, King's and Gaia. King's was the only one that was passable, but also the most expensive.
I just want a 4 or even 2 way split kilo for hopefully around $65 or under, tax and shipping included. If I can't get anything decent at that price I can spend a little more.
I love a good GMD, and whites can work for me as well as greens, reds, brown or yellows. I value euphoria and mood enhancement first, but also love a little energy in the mornings.
Here's the weird thing. Lately I've been paying 0.27/gr at a head shop, which is wayy too much to pay for kratom, I know -- but their Super Green Malay and White Borneo is fire!! Many times better than anything I got from the vendors listed above. They said they'll sell me a kg for $180, and won't come off the supplier name. Not gonna pay that (ironically, since I'm paying much more than that per gram when I buy small).
I have also put in a couple of hours researching here, but still don't fell super comfortable about where to buy, so I'm asking here. Again, I hope I'm not pissing anyone off!
I wish I was a THF member but sadly not! I hear almost nothing but positive reviews about them.
Thanks for any help!
Aaron

It's been a while since I bought anything because I have enough kratom to last me the rest off my life and probably pass on to my kids and grandkis, but welcome to the forum!
Hey, Rhino just had a restock on one of his suppliers. I love me some Rhino leaf!

hey welcome to MM, hopefully you find a better source!

Sure, the "google vendors" like Gaia, Kraken, etc are known for being all fancy
website marketing, but... low on quality!
Basically over past 2 years there's been a shift to Cargo kratom, 100 Ton shipments, Lower quality, and... Fake kratom even?

Sad 'cuz I think most Indo's know HOW to produce fire leaf... but many have
Sold Out to the highest bidder. Actually they're getting lower prices (I hear $5 per Kilo? ) from USA wholesalers... But shipping huge loads, more quantity less quality. That's in a nutshell.... What has happened to kratom.
Kat's Botanicals, hard to say exactly? Was the #1 vendor on Facebook. Had a FB group with over 5000 members... then (I'm going back a year or 2) ran into problems. FB bans. Bank charge backs & bad customer problems. Then Kat's began advertising... Shilajit, CBD, and herbs. Not kratom. Their kratom stock went down to almost nothing. So... "Caution" with Kat's. When did you order? and was it off Facebook?
Viable Solutions is a member here on MM. Well known since their Herbal Salvation days, has a good website, but... seems like reports of just average quality? Not exactly a "small batch" importer, more like cargo Leaf? They still sell a couple
enhanced strains.... which are way way expensive. So, obviously what U got from Viable was not their enhanced? Regular leaf... and you're saying not good? OK.
Your price point is low. How about Herbal-RVA ?? Still has $69 4-way splits.. .08 cents/ gram. Maybe the best website & payments? Easy! Fast shipping. Still has:
Premium MD #2 which gets good reviews on Facebook. That's their home group. He just got a stock of Wild Green supposed to be fire... Also couple new Sulawesi strains.
When you try around half dozen vendors & you're still NOT getting effects from kratom? Then it's probably not a vendor issue... How's your Tolerance?

To go along with
Herbal-RVA,
Bulk Kratom Now is running a nice special using the following coupon codes:
bkn60 coupon for all full Kg orders
split60 coupon for all split Kg orders
2020 coupon on any size order
$60 kilos and 2 way split kilos....and 20% off their regular price on any other Kratom Selection! They also have a
five strain sampler (100 grams each) that's $35.96 if you use the "2020" discount code!

What would be your top 5 recommendations from the current rhino stock based on experience? Greens reds whites blends are all fine.

OP - I'd definitely recommend trying smaller batch vendors. Most are much happier with their product than the vendors you listed. MeWe (social app) is a great place to start.
My recommendations - Rhino, Soul, Lucky, Leaves of Eden.
Shoot me a PM if you want help navigating MeWe. I can add you to these vendors groups.
