everybdy need to jus smoke a bowl and chill. its not the Tude or USPS. the blame is royal mail is taking their time. my order has been saying parcel is preparing to ship to overseas to be delivered in US. so that means USPS hasnt even receive the package yet. so if your order says this on royal mail tracking it is their slow ass fault

Shit if seed bouquet is as fast as that one guy said then maybe ill try them. Now thats how you build a reputation, super fast deliverys!

If you want to go with a lesser rated seebank in hopes of faster delivery, be my guest, but don't for one second fool yourself into believing that Royal Mail and if in the U.S. the U.S. Customs Department and the USPS will give special priority shipping speed to certain seedbanks and not others. All shipments are handled by the same postal services and the same Customs Departments. If someone places an order in April or August or some similar month it will be delivered faster than if the order is placed right at the beginning or during the peak of the time of the year when postal shipping is at it's very busiest.

Use your heads people. This time of year every shipping service, be it postal services or FedEx or UPS are swamped with letters and packages and they are very backed up and they are slowed down due to it and they are behind what would be their normal delivery times. Toss in a Customs Department totally buried in holiday shipments and that will slow shipments down even more.

Stick with one of the highest rated seedbanks people, you will be far better off in the end. But if you place an order during the busiest shipping time of the entire year do not be surprised or upset if your order does not arrive as fast as it would had you places your order in June.

If someone doesn't have a package still in transit, or haven't been in this situation, then please stop cluttering the damn thread. 15 pages and all that BS later and there are only a very few posts that actually contain any info about the issue at hand people. Nobody cares how much you looooove attitude seedbank. We just want to keep eachother
updated on OUR situation. Kick rocks if you got nothing helpful to add.

Like I said last night, incase it got buried by the non sense:

my order dispatched on the 24th of november and I'm on the east coast. As of Saturday still nothing. Monday I'll give attitude a call and see if they can shed any light on the situation.

im pretty sure he said they used fedex or something besides usps. I am new to the the buying seeds thing and have not tried or know all the banks. I figure most of them are just middle man right? So what makes seed bouquet inferior?
 
I ordered on 11/28 from Attitude and 11/29 from SeedBoutique. Paid both with CC.

I have NOT received my Attitude order yet (12/12) and my USPS tracking says the same thing (preparing to dispatch.) Attitude gave me the same 'festive holidays are busy' response.

I got my SeedBoutique order in 5-6 days, air mail envelope zero crushed seeds.
no he just said air mail does not state the service

If by Seed Bouquet you mean Seedboutique, what is below is the best reply I can give. If you actually meant; "Seed Bouquet," I have never heard of it and I never gamble on seedbanks I know nothing about or small shops that sell seeds. The highest rated seedbanks will not keep their stock in inventory for very long because they attempt to assure the full viability of the product they sell. When stock gets old they wholesale it and the wholesalers then resell it to the lesser seedbanks and small shops and you end up purchasing old beans that are less likely to be viable.

Greenman's seedbank rating site is the oldest, longest continually running and most accurate seedbank rating site/service on the net, over twelve years now. I have relied on it for over a decade and I have always purchased from the seedbanks that had the highest ratings at the time and I have never been ripped off, never sent an incorrect or partial order, never had an order not get through to me and never had an order that was delivered later than the longest period of time stated for international delivery, and normally they were delivered sooner than even just the normal average delivery time ... but then I have never placed an order at the beginning of or during the height of the busiest shipping time of the entire year.

You can trust Greenman's ratings. In over a decade his ratings have never let me down so much as one single time.

Greetings growers this is for medical marijuana users and those who can use the information legally. Seedbank ratings are farther down and the links to growing information are near the end.

The seedbank update is over 12 years old and is the longest running seedbank rating service in the world. Use the list of rated seedbanks and you won't worry about being ripped off. Thanks again to the many people who send in reports on how they did with various vendors.


This is the season to be jolly so light up a big one and put a smile on your face. It's a good time for indoor grows. Get those seed orders in if you haven't already.


The post office in the USA often gets funny about delivering letters. People many times use a fake name to get orders sent to them. The trouble is that the letter carrier may not deliver it if they do not recognize the name. Before you send your order, send a letter to yourself using the name and see if it arrives. Then make your order. Ask the company first if they send to your country. If no reply, do not order.


If you have bought from a seedbank send in your report so that other people will know how good or bad it was. No seeds are sold from this site. This center is only for information. You may also send in a grow report on a variety you grew out.

This group I've heard good things about. Those with four stars or more are the most reliable. They will send to most countries. I've tried to list those that ship worldwide. Those with a relatively low rating may just be new to the ratings. It takes a while to earn a good rating. A 1/2 means they are half way to the next star.


I keep getting bad reports on bc bud depot. Non delivery or poor quality seeds if they do arrive.


Attitude 4 star 1/2 (F****1/2)
Bluenose 3 star (***) (2)
Dr. Greenthumbs 4 star (F****) (1,2,3)
Hemp Depot 4 star and 1/2 (F****1/2) (1,2,4,)
Hemcy 4 and 1/2 star (F****1/2) (1,4)
Highland 2 star and 1/2 (**1/2)
Joey Weed 4 star and a half (F****1/2) (1,2)
Klozit King 3 star and 1/2 (***1/2) (1,2)
Natural Mystic 3 star and 1/2 (***1/2)
Peakseeds BC 4 star (****)
Seedboutique 3 stars and 1/2 (F***1/2) (1)
Seedbank.co.uk 2 star and 1/2 (**1/2)
Tambu 3 star (S***) (1,3)


The limited area seedbanks and a list of bad ones to avoid will be found farther down.


Check out the new and unrated seedbanks at the New page. These are seedbanks I've heard good things about but haven't had enough reports on to make a rating.


I don't have time to answer individual questions so I usually just tell people to do some reading. I have information on my site and links to other sites with even more info.


Would you like to see your grow report in the SU? Please include the name of the strain, where obtained, how it grew, potency and yield. Tell us the names of other strains you grew or smoked for comparison. Cultivation tips and news items are also welcome. You can get credit under any name you prefer or stay anonymous.



If you like I will rewrite it for you. To reach me write to [email protected] (remove ZZZ)


This is a report on which seedbanks are reliable and give good service. I also list some bad ones to stay away from (crooks). Reports from people who have ordered from cannabis seedbanks are welcome. That's what this is based on, reports from people like you. You can send your report to me at [email protected] (remove ZZZ) If you send a report please state what bank you ordered from, how long it took and roughly how far away you are from them. I'd like to know if the packaging was stealty (well hidden) and what method used and if any seeds were crushed. Any other info you think is important will be appreciated.



Reports on how the crop turned out are good too. I don't rate companies on price, that's up to you to compare. The more stars, the more reliable. F = faster than average, no letter = average, S = slow.


I have a system of additional ratings. They are a one (1) for accepting payment by money order or certified check without charging extra for it. A two (2) will be given for free stealth shipping. A three (3) will be given for accepting credit cards. This leaves a paper trail but is quick and easy. (4) indicates that they use PGP code for privacy on request. A five (5) means Western Union is accepted. A six (6) indicates customer complaints about seed quality. An example of the new rating might be Ed's seeds (***) (1,2) which means three stars and he gives free shipping and takes money orders with no extra charge.



These seedbanks send to certain countries only.


Dr Chronic 3 star and 1/2 (F***1/2)
Pukka 2 star (**) (1)
Sensi Seed 4 star and 1/2 (****1/2)
Nirvana Shop3 star and 1/2 (***1/2)
Seeds of Passion2 star (**)


These are seed breeders and wholesalers primarily. While they have a good reputation, I don't have enough information about their mail order seed business to make a rating.


BCGA
Bros Grimm
Dutch Passion
Fantaseeds
Greenhouse
Homegrown Fantaseed
KC Brains
Serious
(and many others)



This is the rip-off section. The following seedbanks I've heard many bad things about. They are NOT recommended. aka means also known as. X means they seldom or never send the product. N means sending non viable seeds (non sprouting seeds) M indicates they send very inferior seeds or nothing at all

A-1 Seedbank (X,N)
BC Seeds (X,M)
Beeoo (X)
Fairlight (X,N)
Greenmanspage (X,M)
marijuanaseed.us (X) Software Services aka Cannabis4u aka Medical hemp aka [email protected] [L.Pafort] (X)
Richies Seedshack (X)
Stinkey's (X)
Weedseed (X)
Pot a Gold (X)


These seedbanks are not recommended due to excessive complaints. This is a judgement call and some customers have said they were satisfied. The nature of the complaints are as follows: 10 = non delivery, 11 = very poor customer service, 12 = inferior quality or misrepresented seeds, 13 = unethical conduct by seedbank owner.

BCbuddepot (11, 10)
Bullmall aka Bull-electrical.com (10, 11)
Cannabisseeds.com (10) Ganjaland (10)
Greater Harmony (10)
Kindseed (10)
Laughing Moon (10, 11)
Seedbank Co uk (11)
Seedbank.com (10)

I would also like to add that some assholes from Yemen tried to blow up a few planes with toner cartridges. And that is likely fucking up everything going through customs right now.

Please send them a nice Christian Christmas card thanking them for the holdup...

Got an update today from USPS! You can go back through the thread to my previous post, but I ordered 11/22.

"Your item was processed through and left our JAMAICA, NY 11430 facility on December 12, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later."

"We have received your item, posted on 23/11/10 and it is being processed for delivery abroad"...Has said that since 23rd of November. I ordered 22nd. <---------Royal Mail

"We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece".<-------USPS

SHit don't take that long!!. I have been ordering shit religiously since the dawn of the internet..EVERYTHING I buy, 90% comes from over the internet, meaning it arrives to my mailbox, or front door. (except most of my food) Clothes, shoes, hobby supplies, movies, music, Newegg, lol...etc...this is just ridiculous
 
yea bricktop seed boutique lol sorry told you im new at the seed bank thing. I will check out and maybe try the ones you recommended. Thanks for the info.
 
"Your item was processed through and left our JAMAICA, NY 11430 "

This is just after the customs bottle neck, your out of the traffic jam bro.

This thread isn't about poor service, it's about learning what the standard delays are this time of year.
Maybe people would be more chill if the title was" Holiday shipping delays, whos waiting around?

I'm not pointing a finguar at Attitude, they rock.

To the OP DVXSteve I ordered the same day as you and says the exact same thing still. Dont feel too bad though ... My less important package made it to the US weeks ago and isn't here yet either. LOL. So it doesn't matter which country it's in it still just sits there. They postal people better get on their game. I saw a video on yahoo news last night that says December 13th alone has over 81,000,000 packages sent in the US. Hopeful that paper tsunami that hits them will wake everyone up.
