Yes, this is a warning, but it should be known that the actual product is pretty decent. It was actually rated as the No.2 Kentucky Burley on this site.

But believe me, the customer service is laughable, and the product isn't quite good enough to overlook the service.

First Order:
As a resident of the area where the company resides, I sent my order via e-mail so that I could pick it up locally (as instructed on the website).

June 19: I send initial e-mail placing the order of one 16ml bottle of Kentucky Burley RY4

June 21: After no reply two days later, I send a second e-mail asking if they received the order.

June 21: Same day they send two replies in a row, one confirming the order and one replying to my latest message, which claims they sent me an e-mail right away and it must have been forced into my spam folder (yeah, right).

So I say fine, great, can't wait to try it out. But then three more days go by...

June 24: I send another e-mail to check on the status.

June 26: I receive an e-mail back, they apologize and tell me the order is ready, so I go to pick it up and chalk up the delay as an honest mistake, despite taking six days and receiving little to no info without nagging.

Second Order...

July 1: Pleased with the product, I place an order of 1 Ky Burley and 1 grape.

July 5: This time, assuming it takes some time (given the last order), and because of the holiday weekend, I wait four day and send another e-mail asking if they can confirm that they even received the order.

July 10: After five more days I send one last e-mail asking if it will be ready soon.

It's July 13th and still not a single e-mail regarding the second order.

I should make it clear that I pay at the time I pick it up, so they did not receive any money yet for the second order.

But still, I would hate to see someone order online and actually pay the money upfront, just to have to deal with this.

To put it delicately, there are six year old kids with lemonade stands who have a better understanding of customer service.

The only two local options for e-liquid are Ozark Fresh, and a kiosk at the mall.

You know it's bad when the mall's liquid is over 20 dollars and is a lesser product (compared to the $8 ozark fresh bottles) but is still a better value that Ozark Fresh simply because of bad service.

I mean I can put up with some bad service if it means getting a better product for half the price, but this is just ridiculous.

I almost feel bad that this could hurt business, but I was very patient and civil and gave them a shot, and I'd feel even worse if I let someone pay money up front and have to deal with this.

As far as the product goes...

Nice rich taste that vapes very well, wish I could have tried more than one flavor, but the flavor I did try was very nice.

The label on the bottle is cheap, just a piece of paper taped onto the bottle (but who really cares?). The bottle itself is decent, it's a dropper style bottle which makes refills easy.

But overall, it could be the best e-liquid in the world, but it doesn't really matter if the customer service is so bad that you have to fight to even place an order.

I am in the same boat but worse. I ordered from them on 6/25/11 and paid online. They took the money out of my account and I still havnt received a email or a call back. I am planning on giving them one week more and then calling my credit card company and reporting a fruad case. This place totally sucks!

Same here, I ordered from them on 6/28/11 and paid online. Ordered from 5 other vendors the same day, rec'd my orders in 4 days. Two of them mix to order also.
Sent this guy 2 emails nothing, and I see he is on ECF everyday. Come on jerrydon, let us know something. Poor Customer Service will not get you any more Customers/Orders. Good Luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after the huge RY4 post I decided to buy from this vendor as well. No communication after I bought it. After a few weeks, it arrived. All it said was Kentucky Burley 0. I had to email them to find out if it was RY4. He actually did email me back twice confirming it was RY4 (though his replies felt that he was much more annoyed than wanting to help). I hated the liquid. It just wasn't my taste, though it was unique and many people will love it. After the customer service, there's no way I'm ordering again.

Glad you finally got it. I have emailed twice over a period of a few days and never got any type of reply..
I would think there will be many complaints and charge backs to this vendor seeing how he does business..
He won't get a second chance from me..

Sorry to hear that. Strange that they want email orders for local pickup. We have a couple of Vaporescense brick-and-mortars in my area, and I've walked right in, along with many other customers during my visit. Most picked up a flavor or two. For my last visit, I sampled their bubble gum, and when they didn't have the 30ml bottle in stock, they went and mixed me up a fresh batch. Outstanding service!

Since you like their Kentucky Burley, therein lies the problem. This may be the juice you've been looking for, and now that you've found it, the Keystone Cops are running the show. I was going to recommend just doing an ecommerce order (which would get to you in a couple of days), but it appears other posters are getting slow responses as well.

That's a damn shame. Sorry to hear about that.

Ordered mine on June 22 after reading the big round up. Non existent CS. Still have not received order or any responses to email/phone calls. More here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/201614-ozarkfresh-com.html


Edit for silly typos
You have been waiting for three weeks? OMG! I think something must be wrong! I checked the last time he was on this forum and it was today. I posted a phone number I found on Yahoo business on the other threads. 1.417.368.3305 I do hope you get you e-liquid soon.

Well dang , I live in the area also.
A friend of mine is almost out of juice so I said I think I seen a company local I will look it up again.
And the google brought me here lol.
So I will not get his juice from them, instead I will set him up an account with alien visions they are pretty fast and have good juice.
He buys from the mall here and I keep telling him that stuff is nasty lol.
I do a little mixing on my own juice here and there so maybe I should buy some supplies and sell juice here local.
We really do need a local vender here.
Hmmm food for thought lol.
hope e1 that has orders in with Ozark fresh gets their orders soon or their money back.
Hugs and thanks for the warning.
