Plenty of folks are buzzing about Kraken Kratom. This newer supplier, with its eye-catching website, **awesome prices**, and tempting offers, is quickly becoming a go-to for buys.
But is it all too good to be true? As I’ve discussed many times on this site before, what you see on the surface level with any Kratom vendor is really the least important part and often has no reflection on the product quality or service, so how does Kraken Kratom measure up where it really matters?

Full Kraken Kratom Review
Everything you need to know before spending your hard-earned dollars
Let’s take a closer look at the important criteria you should really consider when it comes to buying Kratom online, and how Kraken Kratom fairs. I’ll give you my honest opinion on this company and help you come to your own conclusion as to whether you would like to purchase from them.
Who (or What) Is Kraken Kratom?
Kraken Kratom is what I would consider a ‘house’ name in the Kratom industry. When putting together this review, I found Kraken Kratom reviews from consumers around the world that have enjoyed this brand’s products.
I’d be lying if I said that didn’t make writing this review a bit easier. Nevertheless, I believe in being thorough and providing you with the good, the bad, and the ‘could have been better’ based on personal experience.
But before we dive into all that, a little background on Kraken Kratom.
Kraken Kratom has been in the Kratom industry since 2014. That’s a long time for a Kratom vendor, and enough years to have established a track record as one of the industry’s more reputable sellers.
Among the company’s claims to fame is that it was the FIRST to be recognized by the American Kratom Association, specifically for the company’s move to ensure all of its facilities were cGMP compliant.
After reading a lot of Kraken Kratom reviews that miss certain things, I thought I’d take a shot at giving you a more comprehensive look at this brand, and whether or not they’re worth your hard-earned dollars.
Kraken Kratom Product Review
How Good is the Actual Kratom?
The question I always like to put first in a vendor review, is “how good is the actual product?!” I don’t care about amazing logos, fancy packaging or super cheap prices if the Kratom itself isn’t up to scratch, and neither should you!
Fortunately, for the most part, the range of Mitragyna Speciosa sold by Kraken Kratom is very good. I haven’t tried every strain of theirs, nor have I tried the enhanced extracts (I’ll speak more about this) but the regular Kratom powder that they sell is great, with good options of popular strains such as Red Vein Thai, Maeng Da Thai, Super Green Indo, and Bali Kratom.
Each strain gives a good solid aroma at a respectable dose. I’d say it’s not as potent as Happy Hippo but you don’t need too much more (your experience may vary of course) and on the whole, the Kratom is good.
Is Kraken Kratom Legit?
Unfortunately, the world of Kratom is full of unscrupulous sellers out to make a quick buck at the expense of their customers. As demand for this natural botanical has skyrocketed, so have new brands eager to cash in.
A question we see a lot by customers looking for Kraken Kratom reviews is whether or not the brand is legitimate.
Here are a Few Reasons Why You Can Trust Kraken Kratom:
- All products are made in a cGMP-licensed facility
- High-quality standards and quality assurance measures
- All products are independently lab tested for purity
- American Kratom Association GMP Qualified Kratom Vendor (one of only 19)
- Strong reputation for good customer service and product quality
- Highly rated and reviewed by customers
- Members of the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

A Review of Kraken Kratom’s Lab Testing and Safety Measures
Given the lack of oversight in the Kratom industry, when reviewing products we take considerable time to evaluate the brand’s safety, manufacturing, sourcing, and lab testing practices.
GMP Compliant: GMP stands for ‘Good Manufacturing Practices’ and is the gold standard of manufacturing. Kraken Kratom was the first to achieve GMP compliance within the industry.
Other Safety Standards Put in Place:
- Comprehensive controls to test for pathogens in the production facility
- Updated sanitation controls, policies, and procedures to surpass industry standards
- Rigorous screening of products, farmers, and suppliers
- Meticulous blending and milling process for more accurate testing
- And more…
American Kratom Association Certified: To date, only 19 companies have achieved this certification, considered the highest achievement in the kratom industry.
Independent Lab Testing: Kraken Kratom has each of its batches independently lab tested at an accredited third-party lab.
How Easy is it to Purchase At Kraken Kratom?
No site review would be complete without touching on the buying experience itself.
I found the buying experience with Kraken Kratom to be an overall enjoyable one. I appreciated the well laid out and aesthetically pleasing design of their website (knowing that the product itself is good) and the online store is very slick, intuitive and quick to load.
Shopping for products was a breeze, with well thought out categories for powders, capsules, extracts, tinctures, and other options like Kava tea.
What I like the most are the actual product pages. For powders, you get a nice table that shows you the amount and price per gram, as well as the savings if you decide to purchase more or in bulk. This is followed by a really nice description of the products, while on the left you get to see the GMP certification, and lab testing emblems as well as information on shipping. Everything is clear and makes the purchasing process simple.
Lastly, the company allows customers to write reviews of Kraken Kratom and reviews of that specific Kraken Kratom product on the product page.
This is arguably one of the most legitimate feeling Kratom vendors I’ve dealt with and is clearly a professional operation.
Payment Methods Reviewed
When making your purchase, we are pleased to see that the site offers several options for payment. In an industry like Kratom, sometimes payment options can be limited, but not here.
Options include:
- Credit or debit
- ECheck
- Direct payment from bank account; and
- They even support BITCOIN with a 10% discount for customers who use this method!
What About Value and Prices?
Fact is, with prices on a lot of goods going up, finding a good deal is a top priority. While going with the cheapest Kratom vendor is usually a recipe for disaster, paying too much is nearly as bad.
Our review found that Kraken Kratom’s prices were fair and reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle of the usual price range. Definitely affordable enough to stock up without breaking the bank.
Prices for Kratom generally start at $8.50 for 28 grams and go up to $120 for around 455 grams.
A Review of Shipping and Returns
Shipping is important. Especially with some vendors running into issues these last few years with logistics and supplies.
Luckily, Kraken Kratom is not one of them. The site doesn’t just offer FREE shipping, but also SAME DAY shipping, all without missing a beat. The only caveat for free same day shipping is that its only for orders $200 and up. Its not hard to hit that amount, especially if you’re stocking up, but if you’re just a casual or new user you’ll have to pay for shipping.
What Else Should You Know?
Great Offers
The first thing you’ll probably notice when you land on the homepage of KrakenKratom.com is some attention-grabbing banner with an irresistible offer such as “20% OFF PLUS FREE SHIPPING!”…
Okay, maybe not always, but they do regularly run incredible sales and limited-time promotions. In fact, I’d argue that you’d be silly to ever pay full price on the site because there’s guaranteed to be an offer you can take advantage of.
Fantastic Customer Rewards Program
Here is where Kraken really shines. While most stores that offer rewards programs only give points for PURCHASES, Kraken offers reward points simply for being a fan of the company. You can get points for leaving honest reviews, creating a free account, sharing them on social media, and subscribing to their newsletter. These points can be used to save BIG on your next purchase and can really add up fast.
Great Support
Should you need it, I’ve found the customer support at Kraken Kratom to be very friendly and fast. The guys behind the company are quite keen to maintain a good reputation with regular comments from Kraken staff spotted on various forums as well so you really do get the sense that you’re in good hands.
Any time I’ve had a question or needed help they always replied back quickly and it was evident they really knew their stuff.
Good Selection of Strains
Variety is the spice of life, right? The same can be said of Kratom. Whether you’re new to Kratom and looking to find that perfect strain, or are a connoisseur seeking out exotic veins and enhanced Kratom, Kraken has it all.
Sure, you can vendor hop to piece together an order, but finding one reliable shop for all of your needs isn’t only convenient, it is often cost and time-saving, not to mention you’ll be more likely to get a consistent level of quality and service. Did we mention they also offer Kava products if you feel like exploring other options?
Kraken Kratom Reviewed: Final Thoughts
Hopefully this Kraken Kratom review has given you a better idea about this vendor in regards to factors that are actually important.
So, Would I Recommend Kraken Kratom?
Yes, I would.
I would recommend any strain of their Kratom powder (avoiding the enhanced blends and extracts), being sure to take advantage of their great prices, free shipping, and latest coupon code. With all that, you won’t go far wrong.
Similar to Left Coast Kratom, if you’re after a cheaper Kratom vendor without sacrificing quality, definitely give Kraken Kratom a try. The product is legit, the company is honest and professional and the buying experience is super easy.
I have ordered from Kraken several times. They recently goofed on an order and sent me much less than I purchased. I contacted them via email and within 15 minutes they responded that they would reship the order that day via priority mail. Mistakes happen I have no problem with that from time to time. It’s how it is responded to that matters most with me and they were top notch with their customer service. Anyone who is on the fence about trying this company out should give them a chance, I will definitely continue to go back.
Thanks for your feedback Eric.
I ordered from Kraken Kratom, this is the first time I have ever ordered this stuff online, I usually buy at stores where the prices are jacked way up!! Ordering was simple, prices were great and product is great!!! I recommend ordering from them if you are debating.
Kraken Kratom is a good source for Kratom Leaf and powder. Not a HUGE selection but they make up for it with AMAZING prices and the COUPONS they send you are beautiful. Pretty much every time you buy you will have some sort of coupon to go with the purchase. They also have a rewards program that is definitely useful if you buy larger amounts or order often. And you can combine the savings. The same day delivery is perfect. I live in Arizona and get my package through USPS standard in just 48 hours. Never changing vendors! Thanks Guys keep it up!
Just thought I’d throw this out there. Two days after I made two orders from kraken kratom my debit card info was stolen by a person in another state and spent 800$. Now I do not know for a fact this is where my info was stolen but it is the first time it has happened. My order came quickly and I was completely satisfied with the product. I’d like to know if anyone else has had this happen to them.
Thanks for your comment. That’s unfortunate but I’d be hesitant to blame Kraken Kratom here. These things happen; I owned an online business previously where this happened to a couple of customer’s on occasion. They were quick to blame my company but it was absolutely nothing to do with us, just an unfortunate coincidence. An online store like Kraken Kratom typically can’t ever see your credit card details, the information is encrypted. I appreciate your concern though. I’ve not had any similar reports but I’m sure I’ll hear if people do.
Glad the order came quickly and you’re satisfied with the product. 🙂
That’s just fantastic
Fantastic that your comment wasn’t approved right away? Sorry but this site gets a lot of spam.
I don’t get why you all think Kraken Kratom is so cheap. An ounce of Bali powder is $8.45 which means that a kilo at that rate would cost $270. I know of 5+ vendors that have $100 kilos. That’s $3.12 an ounce. Do some better research folks. Peace.
What vendors are they then? I’d appreciate the names so that I don’t waste any cash
I get this stuff all the time and have never paid under 10$ for it… From what everyone is saying, the quality of this Kratom with this vendor is really good… and it’s under 10$ for some of them… I’m just very grateful for good and honest help along with my good quality product from this company… it’s the little things we should try and be grateful for… I don’t think we should take this out on their way of making a living because you got upset… that’s just really not fair or nice… the Lord sees everything and knows the motives behind why we are saying and doing what we are… kindness… it goes a long way…and what goes around comes around… I definitely only want good things coming back around my way… stop and think before you react to a situation…just thought I’d share what I felt… no harm meant… I hope none was taken… God bless you and this company 🙂
Those vendors have minimums. 100.00 minimum usually. Did you see the price for 4 oz of Bali? That may change your mind.
My 1st time online. I had been getting locally. I chose kraken mainly because their website looks professional and they have many good reviews.
I ordered 4x 112g of White Mang Da. Placed order on Labor Day weekend(Saturday). It shipped Tuesday via FedEx Priority Overnight and I received it the following day at 1:30pm.
I was worried about potency but it is on par/better with what I am used to.
Monday(Labor Day) I sent a message to kraken to confirm it would ship out on time, on Tuesday. I was very happy to recieve a reply to my message the same day!
Based on my limited experience with them, I give them 5/5 on customer service and 5/5 on quality of product!! I will be ordering again before the end of the month…I hope to get better prices on a kilo.
Highly recommend Kraken! Had a little bit of an issue when I received my order, but they quickly went above and beyond to fix it. Great product and great vendor!!
Five stars for this vendor!
I just ordered 112g of OG Indo powder from Kraken Kratom for about 40 dollars roughly and utilized their advertised coupon. Product came very quickly (2 days after I ordered it arrived) and the weight was spot on (actually a bit more than 112g).
The website is easy to use and everything I expect from a legit company.
Compared to the quality and cost of the local head shop varieties, I am blown away by the superiority of Kraken’s product.
I highly recommend this vendor as well as the potency and quality of OG Indo!
