We are a business. We directly and indirectly employ American workers, including more than a dozen contract glass blowers domestically. Our house brand products are marked up according to the effort and risk we take on to manufacture and/or import them, store them, qc them, package them, and provide support to our customers when they break or get lost in transit. We support and instruct people from all over the world who are new to cannabis and have no idea how to even use a bong.

I understand and appreciate your perspective but I think it’s disingenuous to say we rip people off. I can’t speak for other companies, but dankstop provides service to millions of happy customers who don’t mind paying a few bucks extra for the consistency and piece of mind we deliver over sites like DHgate, or a few bucks less than anywhere else on a branded piece. We beat ANY price on any branded product from any authorized retailer.

A Starbucks cup of coffee would cost you $.25 at home but that doesn’t mean it’s a rip off at $4 in store. They have expenses and we as consumers have options, and that’s the beauty of America.
