Still nothing from Connoisseur. Original $700.00 order placed in May. Seller screwed up and did not keep tracking, so can't even prove he shipped to me in the first place. Refuses to re-send even though I was completely nice and civil in my communications at all times. I held up my end of the deal, and he's seemingly unable to hold up his.

There are dozens, or hundreds of breeders and seed banks that are more worthwhile to order from today. Maybe back in the mid 2000's, when this guy was getting his groove on these strains were exotic enough to be worth it, but now it's not. No amount of shitty customer service, rude attitude, and customer-blaming is OK. This is 2021, and we have a TON of legal seed outlets now.

You are better off going with literally anyone else other than this guy. This has been the absolute worst experience I've ever had, and now I'm done worrying about it. If you want a vendor that will blame you for all their problems, then by all means, use this one.

In the time since I placed my order with Connoisseur, I have received thousands in orders from Heavily Connected, AG Seed Co, Shoreline OG, AK Bean Brains, DC Seed Co, Mandala Seeds, JBC, Dagga Love, TexCanna, Full Power Selections, Alex Hardi, various things on Strainly, etc.

Do yourself a favor and just steer clear.

That’s really shitty of him man as I and many others have had good experiences.
I’ve been on and off watching this thread with my fingers crossed for you, hoping he delivers, obviously not.
I’m all for good customer service and certainly won’t be recommending him to anyone in the future based on this...

I wish he would've resent! It would've likely got here just fine.

He refuses to resend even once, and I don't even know why?! He just copped an attitude right away and started blaming me. It got worse as I sent follow-up emails every 6 weeks after patiently waiting and receiving nothing.

It's just bad all around. Bad, bad, bad.

I wish I'd seen this earlier, I may be another victim. Said he'd get me a tracking number when posted. Never came. Followed up a few weeks later, said he remembered it being sent because he doesn't get orders from Canada often and that he'd get me the tracking number when back at his seed place. Never happened. I'll wait a bit longer and follow up again but I think I'm gonna have to put him on blast on social media at some point here. Pretty sad.

I feel terrible for recommending him because my 1 and ONLY order I DID receive....he did make a mistake and threw in 1 strain I ordered and 1 that I didnt (in place of 1 I did) but it was a welcomed mistake.

I gotta say his genetics are good (when received)....unfortunately my Amnesia Hazy Jones was destroyed by my landlord....but it looked and smelt excellent and was definitely hazy lol.

I just started germinating 8 strains and his Girl Scout Haze Cookies was the 1st to crack open (took just 12 hours!) and I m really excited for that one.

I may place another order to see if he comes through because I really want some of the newer stuff hes been working on/posting on instagram.

But I dont know because good/decent breeders are a dime a dozen these days...plenty of guys out there that won't screw over anyone.....unfortunately this industry seems to have this happen all the time though.

That is pretty much exactly the way it went!

It's like this guy just up and turned complete scammer this past year... I am pretty darned sure I got all the correct contact info also.

Do so at extreme risk... especially if you are not in the UK?

I would definitely check out other vendors first. Delicious Seeds is a good one overseas. There are too many awesome banks and breeders to mention in the states. AK Bean Brains has a lot of good old school stuff similar to Connoisseur's list, but even better because he doesn't fuck over his customers.

Tons of ppl have recommended AK BB to me...but I find very few of his lines interest me.....whereas 100s of connoisseurs do.

So I wanted to update here on my situation. Over a week ago i had sent another follow up email trying to get the tracking from my order 7.5 weeks after it was supposedly sent. Another week went by with no response.
Yesterday I sent what was going to be my final email before I tried to remedy this through other channels. I also sent him a message on the other forum asking him to check his email.
This morning I got a response. He apologized and admitted he had lost the tracking. He was adamant that he sent it and has not had packages get lost. He said if it doesn't arrive by Monday he will reship with extra seeds.
While this hasn't been the best experience I've had ordering seeds from somewhere, I'm pleased he's acknowledged the situation and offered a remedy. I'm confident that I'll get my order and I will update here the outcome.

And update, after having a back & forth with him on ig, I decided not to purchase from him - as he was a straight up asshole on there.

I commented on someone elses comment about SSSDH and CG corrected me and I willingly accepted the correction and admitted im a newb grower.

He continued to bash me saying I dont know shit, that my page is full of BS (all I do is post pics of grows and nugs that I m smoking on) and just really rubbed me the wrong way.

I told him im making no purchases from him and heard hes been scamming ppl for the last year or so.....he didnt comment back

Yeah, he is nothing but straight asshole. I don't know how he has survived in the seed game so long, honestly. I was surprised because NOBODY else acts that way in 2022. It is not 2002 anymore! That is the way a TON of people in cannabis scene acted back then, not really so much now.

Some people don't know how to grow up, unfortunately.

Don't do it.

Don't waste your time.

Don't waste your money.

It's going to be nothing but a fuck around after he accepts your funds.

100% stay the fuck away from this guy.

It's been resolved, again, hopefully. I will know 100% come Monday when I recieve tracking. At that point I can put this to rest finally. Once it's in the mail and I have tracking, then it's just at the mercy of the people throughout transit which has nothing to do with him.

He kept telling me he would get me tracking # too... until I kept pressing him on him never doing it, and then he started blaming me, and eventually stopped responding at all.

I know, and that's why I said I'll know on Monday when I recieve tracking. The only difference is I had some other channels to go through that I feel made a difference. Which is unfortunate for others. I will be happy when i receive a package this is water under the bridge.

I'll update soon.
