Herbies is a BUST!

I had placed a couple of orders from Herbies in the past, and my seeds have always arrived in tact cause they put them in a little plastic container with a bunch of little beads.. Well recently they switched to Air Mail and the seeds have been arriving completely CRUSHED, cause of the way they are trying to package them. They supposedly replace the crushed ones from a recent order, although those have not arrived yet,,, in the meantime, I placed another order with them, and that order arrived pretty much TOTALLY CRUSHED. I make sure to take and send them photos of all the damage.

Apparently instead of solving their ridiculous packaging problem, they have just given up.. Here is the email I received from them this morning.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're sorry to hear / see that your order #000000 has arrived damaged.
This is one of the problems we've found when using standard Airmail, as it can be difficult to provide both adequate stealth and ample protection to the contents. We've found Airmail to have a much higher rate of successful delivery, however, as packages shipped via recorded postal services are subject to much more scrutiny (it's become increasingly difficult to ship to your country over the past few months)
To confirm, we have refunded your card today for your order total – please note that it can take 2-3 business days for the refund to register as having returned to your account, and it will show as coming from our store name Hocus Pocus.

Best wishes

Herbie

So either they just don't want my business, which I couldn't give them anyway, cause they apparently cant deliver anymore, or they are no longer shipping to the US.

Back to the Tude I suppose

Not good.

Best be prepared to make our own. If big players drop out, prices will skyrocket by those that stay in. Sure hope the 'tude has a nice Christmas promo. Likely will be a last chance genetics grab, then it's hunker down time.

not what i want to hear..just ordered a 3 pack of hso blue dream and i've been very excited..

i have never had problems with attitude

Hah, the big banks have gotten lazy, and it has now caught up with them?
I saw the attitude now has a 'beads' option for stealth.
Stealing ideas from one of the smartest guys in the game. Hope they don't ruin it for him.

I had issues with Attitude before their whole customs issues, but now I am pretty sure I will not be ordering from them again. It is unfortunate to hear this about Herbie's. This is the only shipping option they have for the US?

ty for posting. I wonder if border control crushed them ? but they are one hell of a company to refund you so fast and easy give them some credit. some body posted that they never head any thing wrong with attitude . are you FUCKING SERIOUS ? your not on here often are you

This is very distressing to hear. I order from Herbies all the time... Did you have the said seeds sent in the breeder packs?
Maybe it's time Herbies took a page from The Tude and offer a crush proof case as an option.

I ordered from Herbies the Usual Way and was expecting to get the little round plastic container with the beads along with a tracking number, but they apparently dont do that anymore, and Well their Response pretty much says it all. They tried airmail cause there is less scrutiny, and also offer NO tracking or confirmation in any way, but the way they pack it, its just not really protected from getting crushed at all. With so many other Envelope/package options, I am really surprised they choked so hard with this.

I have ordered from the Tude in the Past and have had NO Problems with any of my orders.. I switched to Herbies a few orders ago cause you can save a couple bucks, and the Delivery Time was the same, so all was good in the World.. Again, just a little surprised how fast the mighty has fallen,, Not that their customer service has not always been top notch, so I will give credit where credit is due,, Just a big bummer!!

I placed an order with the Tude last week and my order arrived today.. It had Green Customs Inspection Tape around it, and the Box was empty, except for the Mug.

I noticed when tracking the package that it went through Illinois, and had also been seeing many peoples orders not making it to the Chicago Area.

Man, I feel your pain.^^ Unlike Clinton I mean it though. Single Seed Center had the best stealth I have seen yet.

That mug shit is why they are opening the package imo. I know you do that to get the guarantee but damn.

You made an order on the black market. Your seeds arrived damaged, and they quickly refunded your money.

And you're complaining! Saying Herbie's is a bust.

Damn!

Expectations are nuts these days!

My order came with no problems.
Got 10 grapefruit deisel seeds with freebies in 8 days.

That's my plan. make one last big purchase. I saw this coming.
Over the past several months, there seemed to be an increase in seizures and such.
Christmas is the best time to add your mail to the 1000s of other packages.
I am starting to feel that stealth makes no difference in the success of the delivery.
It is simply a numbers game. The stealth just gets you another shot at delivery.
I have had ceeds damaged many times when shipped in the bubble envelopes. The automated rollers at the USPS sorting centers crush them sometimes.
It happened to me twice with domestic shipments of ceeds. I sent an anonymous envelope with plastic ink cartridges in it, as payback for my crushed products. It happened twice when I shipped to the East Coast, but not when I shipped to the West. I think some of the rollers in certain areas may be over-amped.
I requested shipping in a cardboard tube last time I ordered from the Tude.
All arrived well and intact.
Better start ordering regs and start propagation.
What we need is a domestic ceed bank. (I know that wont happen soon) You can send anything through regular mail.

If you guys are tired of customs give Hollistic Nursery a shot. Check out their instagram, they only have limited breeder/strain selections but the freebies are awesome! Got some medicated chocolate with GGG order, and 10 Cali-Connection seeds as buy one get one free promotional freebie, best of all, since they are located in San Diego, it only took 3 days to receive my order! Check them out!

I almost had tears in my eyes when Herbie refunded my money, I thought I could never see my Franklins again...Attitude and Herbie are honest companies and I got a lot of respect for them.

Get the wallet from Attitude using their stealth. Nice small package with the wallet adding extra protection. I have had 3 orders sent in the last 7 months without a hitch.

I've been breeding every strain that I get like crazy cause I really have a strong feeling real soon seed banks are going to leave U.S alone.
