In the pines

In the pines is based in the United States and targets the United States market, which means they are likely serving domestic buyers or local distributors rather than international export clients. Their business model as an exporter/wholesaler suggests they may supply medicinal herbs to buyers in the U.S., but the lack of verified phone and document verification raises concerns about their legitimacy and ability to handle large orders. Only the account email is verified, which is a red flag for buyers needing to confirm contact details or business ownership. Offering 'Other' as a payment method instead of common options like T/T or L/C makes it harder for buyers to plan secure transactions. This combination of a U.S.-based company targeting the same country, with weak verification and unclear payment terms, could indicate a risk of fraud or difficulty in establishing trust with international buyers.
