Left Coast Kratom Review

Left Coast Kratom is a family owned company based out of Portland, Oregon. It was founded in 2017 by a “group of Kratom advocates that were tired of seeing the proliferation of low quality, untested Kratom”. Left Coast Kratom’s unique selling point is their dedication to quality control. As one of the first AKA GMP qualified vendors, they have helped make Kratom regulation more mainstream. Despite their relatively recent launch, they have managed to quickly gain a reputation for providing consistent quality products.

That’s not to say that everything about Left Coast Kratom is good. As with anything in life, they have their good and their bad sides. Not to worry though – we’ve done the hard work to help you figure out if this is the right Kratom vendor for you.

Only Kratom. Nothing Else

Many Kratom vendors have chosen to offer other products for sale alongside Kratom. Not Left Coast though. They only sell Kratom and for us – that’s a good thing. You won’t find CBD or any other alternative health products there. No – Left Coast specializes in Kratom and that’s evident as soon as you try their products. The old saying, “A jack of all trades is a master of none” comes to mind.

When a company specializes and succeeds, it’s a good indicator that they are doing something right. This is absolutely the case with Left Coast Kratom. Their product quality and consistency is what makes them stand out. On top of that, they are an American Kratom Association GMP (good manufacturing practices) compliant vendor, which ensures that their products are meet rigorous standards.

Quality Of Kratom Products

Before we jump into the guts of this review, I’ll cut right to the chase. Left Coast Kratom sells potent products. They offer all of the most popular Kratom strains along with a variety of unique and exclusive options.

From the classic Maeng Da Thai to the potent UEI, Kratom enthusiasts will be familiar with their product selection. Along with these classic variants, Left Coast Kratom offers several exclusive products including their popular Platinum Extract which comes as a capsule or chewable tablet.

I started my review by trying their Red Vein Maeng Da Thai Kratom powder.

Results

Starting with just 2 grams, the effects were insignificant. Kratom veterans know that this dosage is fairly small, but I always start low and slowly work my way up when trying a new vendor or strain. The last thing I want to do is take too much. With 2 grams, I felt a bit of something – but it may have also been a placebo so I decided to take 2 more grams.

At 4 grams, the effects were unmistakable. I was feeling very good, with an increase in energy and a boost to my mood. It’s at this point that I realized that Left Coast Kratom’s products were the real deal. 4 grams isn’t a lot by most standards, but it was all that I needed – my ‘sweet spot’.

Purchasing Experience

Left Coast Kratom has a clean, simple, and user-friendly website. All of their products are named with familiar strains and organized into easy to navigate categories. To make a purchase, it’s as simple as adding an item to your cart and proceeding through the checkout process – just like you would on Amazon.

The site also features a search bar – albeit one that’s pretty hard to find. This is our only complaint about their website. When looking for a specific product or strain, finding their nearly hidden search bar was annoying. Apart from that small hiccup, it was a smooth buying experience. We ordered our products on a Tuesday and received them only 3 days later on Friday. Definitely a speedy shipping experience.

Prices

Left Coast Kratom’s products are reasonably priced, albeit slightly on the higher side. As an example, their 28 gram package of OG Bali Kratom powder is $8.12 which is just slightly higher than some other vendors. That said, the quality of their product more than makes up for the slightly increase in price. You’ll need less Kratom to do the same job.

Customer Service

Left Coast Kratom offers customer support via live chat, email, or over the phone. Their live chat option is extremely useful – as long as you’re using it between 7-5 PST. Otherwise, you’ll be directed to their email support option which can take a bit longer. That said, we received a response from their email support after just 3 hours of waiting. Overall, their customer service seems top notch .

Returns Policy at Left Coast Kratom

Left Coast Kratom offers a blanket 30-day moneyback guarantee, as long as the product is not opened and untampered. This is another area where they are lacking when compared to the competition. Many other Kratom vendors offer 100% money back guarantees regardless of if the product is open or not. So -1 point for Left Coast in this department.

The problem we find with this rule, is that as a buyer, you won’t know the product quality until you’ve opened the package. But by that time, you’ve already voided your ability return based on their policy. That said, we do understand that this policy is implemented to prevent customers from returning packages that they’ve already ‘pinched’ out of.

Verdict

All in all, we highly recommend Left Coast Kratom. Their focus on selling only Kratom products and their commitment to quality control makes them one of the best in the business. They are AKA GMP compliant and have hundreds of 5 star reviews on Trustpilot. If you’re looking for a reliable Kratom vendor with a track record of providing consistent quality products, give Left Coast Kratom a try.
