Testimonials

Those familiar with the 80-year history of our company know that we're not much for singing our own praises. Founded on biblical principles in 1927, we've quietly gone about our business, striving to provide quality service and exceptional products, while conducting every day business with integrity and uncompromising standards. It was only at the urging of our webmaster (that's me) that our president agreed to this "Testimonials" section, which shares e-mails that we have received from some of our satisfied customers. We will be the first to tell you that we are not as good as some of these notes claim us to be. Anyway, we realize that there is a trust factor involved in placing an order at any web store, so let this simply be a way to show you that others have taken a chance on us at georgehowe.com and been pleased with the results. 
My order of cashews, peanuts, almonds  and licorice jelly beans came via UPS today and I wanted to tell you how thrilled I am! All are delicious and will be enjoyed! I was especially touched, too, by the story of the origins of your company. Mr. Howe must have been a wonderful, godly man. It is heartwarming to see a business prosper and to see how it has conducted itself over time. Wishing you every blessing and continued success. -J.S., Biddeford, Maine
Having been told by my wife about Arnold's Peanut Brittle, I placed an order with your company. Your service was splendid and it was my pleasure of having found such a reputable company. However, you now have caused a small problem for me.  Enclosed with the "Peanut Brittle" was a small 1.50 Oz. of your Gourmet Coffee, (Colombian Supremo).  Immediately I fed the packet to my coffee maker and Voila', I tasted what I consider the best tasting coffee I have ever experienced.  Now as to the problem, I thought I had found the best coffee which I purchase locally, but since I have sampled yours, I will be placing an order in the not too distant future for some more of your Colombian Supremo and also your House Blend since you say your House Blend is your finest.  I just don't see how it could get any better.  Thanks for filling my order so promptly and you will be hearing from me soon for a coffee order.....Keep up the good work. -R.M., Franklin, Tennessee
I had to drop you a line to tell you that I've never done business with anyone who does it better than you--and much of the time, no where near close! You got my order out practically at the speed of light, and it arrived today. The nuts are fabulous! This was our first time with the pecans, and I'll be surprised if I'm not ordering those again within a week - they're disappearing fast! It's such a pleasure doing business with people who do it so well and have such great products. We've never had better nuts anywhere, or better service. Thanks! -R.B., Tennessee (the city), Illinois
I just wanted to let you know that it is a privilege to do business with a company based on biblical principles!!! My recent order was the second time I ordered from your company. Thank you for being willing to share the fact that your company is based on biblical principles. Because of that, I will try to "spread the word" and recommend your company to my friends and relatives. May God bless your company! -B.B., League City, Texas
I just wanted to write and let you know that I just received my second order from you. I actually order your nuts for my birds. They are "nuts" about them. I have an Amazon Parrot named Pandora who thinks your walnuts and Brazil nuts are especially wonderful. She gets all excited as I make her food bowl and says over and over "come here" until her food is ready. Then I have a half grown Indian Ringneck named Shandy who is still learning to eat nuts. They have to be broken up really small but he loves them. This last order I got pistachios and I have to open them most of the way for him but he is so cute trying to manage after that. Pandora can shell those faster than I can feed them to her! (I have to admit I've been sneaking some of those for myself.) Anyway, thanks again for your great nuts and for making my birds very happy. They will be very loyal customers from now on! L.C., Pandora and Shandy, North Las Vegas, Nevada
I have been ordering from you since December 2002 and am always very pleased with your products. I have given your web site out to several friends and they are now your customers. So thanks again. -M.S., Bartlesville, Oklahoma
Thank you! The order arrived on the 19th and our employees have been very excited about the retro candies I purchased from you. I especially appreciated the low price on the Goetze's caramel creams. We have a few people who are hooked on those and I am constantly refilling the candy dish! I will definitely be ordering from you again and have referred you to a friend already. -A.E., San Francisco, California
I am a new customer and want to thank you all for the wonderful, excellent products that you make!! The House Blend and Kona coffees and candies are outstanding! Keep up the great work!! Your new friend from Minnesota,
-G.C., Minneapolis, Minnesota
I just want your company to know that I received my order yesterday and am more than happy it. I found your web site by chance and am glad I did. I am telling my friends about your products. You are going to make my Valentine candy giving extra special this year with the freshness of your products and the prices that can't be beat. A very satisfied customer. -J.R., S. Richmond Hill, New York
I want to thank you for the excellent quality and service on my order. My mother enjoyed the cashews tremendously. Even my father, despite his illness, was delighted to indulge in your wonderful nuts. Actually, it would appear that you now have quite a fan club, including my two brothers and dog, who have been sampling the cashews as well. Thank you, again. I look forward to being a regular customer of your wonderful company. -L.G., Brighton, Massachusetts
I had to write to you immediately to tell you how pleased I am with my first order. It came in less than three days, neatly packaged. I just tasted one of the coffee buttons and it was delicious and sugar free! I can't wait to try the other sugar free flavors, as well as your decaf coffees. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends, relatives and co-workers. So many times in life people write to complain, but hesitate to give a compliment when one is due. You have my highest compliments!! Thank you. -K.G., Bayside, New York
I have been buying your starlight mints for years, but the retail outlets in my area that carried your products are now going out of business. I'm glad to have found such a great selection on the web. I told my wife: "This is a company I want to do business with." -J.B., Easton, Pennsylvania 
Order arrived - 91 year old father-in-law very, very happy. Stay safe, healthy and happy!!! -A.G, Glouster, Ohio
Just received my package. The jelly beans are as tasty as ever and those mint sticks are great!! Have a great day and thanks again. -T.K., Montvale, New Jersey
Quick shipping as usual. Thanks for your outstanding service. Thanks. T.O., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Would like to thank you guys for a great shopping experience. Besides having such a quality product, ordering/customer service was courteous, shipping was very fast and the free packet of Colombian gourmet coffee was a very nice touch. I will definitely order again and recommend you to my friends. Might even start ordering for the office someday. -J.U., Conemaugh, Pennsylvania
It's nice to see 'old-fashioned' customer service that so many businesses have seemed to forgotten. It will certainly make a repeat customer out of me. Thanks again. -L.T., Kodak, TN
I am always pleased with your products. Thank you for your prompt shipments and the great customer service we always receive. -N.M., Deer Park, Texas
I placed an order today and wanted to let you know that that I appreciate your policy of allowing an individual to order by the pound. This combined with free shipping on orders over $25, in my opinion, allows your company to out-distance the on-line competition by a wide margin for people who want to order for their personal use. Many thanks. -S.G., Yuma, Arizona
Just received my package. The jelly beans are as tasty as ever and those mint sticks are great!! Have a great day and thanks again. -T.K., Montvale, New Jersey
You guys are just too cool. If you ever need me for a commercial, feel free to ask. It could be one for your out-of-state customers. Thanks! -D.H., Tallahassee, Florida
Love your products and company. Wish everyone was THIS easy! -J.B., Fort Walton Beach, Florida
My order arrived yesterday -- blistering fast for UPS -- and I was delighted since I needed most of the order for gifts today. I am also delighted with the coffee and nuts. Am enjoying a cup of Bavarian Chocolate as I write. It appears that your company is recycling plastic bags for packing, and re-using cardboard boxes for shipping, which is wonderful. Thank you for the great service and yummy coffees (big smile) and please feel free to share this note with whomever had a hand in making it such a pleasure to do business with Howe's. -S.S., Colchester, Illinois
My husband loves the Peerless Rods and since moving from Houston to Lafayette, I have been unable to locate them. You will make Christmas sweet with these candies under the tree. - J.P., Lafayette, Louisiana
I can't begin to tell you how happy the person was when she received the package I sent her. She called up and said it was beautiful and the service you gave me was excellent. Thanks again to your and your staff on a job well done. -W.D., Methuen, Massachusetts
Thanks for your good service. I have sent info on Howe's to several friends. -J.R., Branford, Connecticut
Just wanted to thank you for a most delicious cup of coffee this afternoon. I can't believe the order got here so quickly, and on this dreary, rainy Friday, the timing was perfect. Thanks again. I'm so glad I found your website. -S.T., Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Wanted to let you know I received my order a little while ago and the almonds are delicious. I am already making the coffee, too! Thank you for your prompt service and the free packet of coffee! -B.B., Gautier, Mississippi
Please send my thanks along to all of your employees! Not only did I receive my shipment within DAYS of my order, but the nuts are the absolute freshest I've ever had! I am a frequent on-line shopper and very few experiences have been this good. Thanks again -- I will be recommending your company to my friends and colleagues. -M.L., Methuen, Massachusetts
You rock! -E.E., Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Very pleased with my first order. Like the quality, free shipping and reasonable prices! Thanks. -C.J., Poughkeepsie, New York
Just wanted to thank you for having your company online. See, I recently inherited the duty of tending the candy dish at a company of 200 employees. Problem is, I don't have close access to stores with much candy variety. But I have found your site and suddenly the dish can have variety again! Here's hoping we can have a long and sweet relationship! -A.E., San Francisco, California
I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the very quick shipping I received on my order. I ordered on Sunday to have something delivered to my sister and she received it on Wednesday. That is really great! Thank you so much for the help to send a gift and I will be ordering again!! -C.T., Charlotte, North Carolina
I recently ordered six pounds of the American medley jelly beans and one pound of the banana cream pie jelly beans I just wanted to tell you I LOVE THEM!!!! I could not believe how fresh they were!! Keep up the good work and have a nice day! Thanks again! -J.G., Dover, Ohio
Thank you!!! I am going to tell everyone I know about your great web store and your great pricing and service. Have a great day! -J.K., Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
Received my order today and I only tried one of your coffees so far (Toasted Almond) but if they are all this good, I am a customer for life! Thanks for the excellent service, notice and product! -S.T., Burlington, Vermont
Thank you! It is my first order and I'm very excited. Great site! -W.L., New Rochelle, New York
This is the second time that I have shopped on-line with your company and I just wanted to say that the merchandise and the service are excellent. -F.G., San Francisco, California
Our first order from your web store was delivered today -- right on schedule. Everything was fresh and in excellent condition. My sister and I have sampled the candy and the coffee and everything is delicious. We will certainly order from your company again soon. Thank you for providing this great service. -L.G., Polo, Missouri
We really enjoy the delicious nuts that we ordered from you -- they are the best of the best. Also, the packaging was great and we really like your company brochure. I am from Pennsylvania so it is great to buy products from good 'ole PA. Nuts are an important part of our diet since we only eat nuts, fish and eggs for our protein. We feel fortunate that at George Howe we receive the best tasting nuts, reasonable prices, and no shipping cost. Thank you for great products and excellent customer service. -S.D., McLean, Virginia
I received the almonds and they were perfect. Thank you for making me a very satisfied customer. -J.B., Malabar, Florida
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the service I received from your company. My mother is on medication for a few weeks which leaves a bad taste in her mouth. I had wanted to send her something to let her know I was thinking of her, but flowers didn't seem to be the right thing to send. I thought about sending some candy (to help relieve the bad taste!) but had never sent anything like that before. I found your web site and was impressed with how easy it was to order, and very pleased that the shipping was free. The gift was a huge hit, and she was very happy. She told me that the nuts were fabulous and that the candies were very good as well. I intend to use your service again, and have recommended it to my friends and co-workers. Keep up the good work! -L.Z., Waltham, Massachusetts
Thank you for the fast shipment and free coffee sample. We'll do business again I'm sure. -K.L., Conneaut, Ohio
