Hopefulgrow.com seedbank review

This is another of the "Newer" seedbanks that seem to be popping up everywhere lately. They are based out of Spain. I read about them somewhere a while back and then placed 3 orders with them in the last 1.5 years. Paid by charge card.

My first 2 orders came with no issues or problems........ I got those orders in 12 & 13 days to the U.S. They were larger orders $400 and $700- they arrived in a bubble envelope that I had to sign for. No big deal- a friendly smile and a Xmas gift to the mailman goes a long way.

The last order 4 months ago: 3 packs Green House Trainwreck, 3 packs Eva Monster and 1 pack Paradise Opium. About 13 days later, a partial order was received along with an email that 2 packs of Trainwreck would be sent later, in about a week. They ran out of stock. The backorder has never arrived. I emailed them 3 different times over the last couple of months, and never received an email back. I just crossed them off my seedbank list and have already moved on to Attitude.

Today I got an email from them letting me know they received the envelope back- they addressed it wrong. It took 3 months for the US/Spain mail system to return the envelope. Way to go-there is our tax dollars hard at work.

They were very apologetic- they even told me they threw some additional seeds in for the inconvenience. I'll have them next week. By the way, I've added Hopefulgrow.com back on my seedbank list. :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Just something additional- I never did received the order they claimed to send out so I again have removed them from my "OK to order list"- I'd stay away cause I'mnot really sure what's up anymore with them.

15 months later HOPEFULGROW.COM remains a premier rip-off seed site. Buyers beware!!!

I ran into the owner again at THCFarmer and numerous others also lodged complaints. He made lots of promises and then disappeared forever from there. My question to you is: why would you even consider ordering from there? Order somewhere where you'll get your seeds......

I found some beans on Hopefulgrow.com I went ahead and ordered them using Western Union. I had a problem getting the information into the order properly. A couple of days later I received an email stating that the payment had been accepted, then a couple of days later saying the order had shipped. A couple of days after that I received an email from Hopefulgrow stating that I had put the info into Western Union wrong and that they wanted me to reinput the information correctly. During this time, I had done the research, which should have been done before placing the order and found that this site was more than likely a scam. I contacted Western Union, cancelled the payment and emailed the company to inform them of the cancellation and their negative reviews. This is now over a week since they say that they shipped. I get an email stating that the postal service had been contatced and was able to stop the package before it left the country and that every single negative review is from competing bean slingers trying to make Hopefulgrow look bad. I am not familiar with the Spanish mail system, but it sounds like they are really on the ball over there with their tracking and cancellation policies.. I dont think I would recommend Hopefulgrow to anyone looking for beans. Seems like a big scam.
