$270 is a lot of money & did my research On Seedbank or I thought I did. All in all it’s a lil shady cuz the charge came up as a completely different corporation. Put yourself in my shoes
No offense but it sounds like you've never bought seeds before. It's extremely common for charges to show up with another company name, usually something with apparel or novelties at the end of it. Selling seeds violates many companies policies and they will cancel your account if they find out (paypal, venmo ect)

As far as as the 3 business days, you cant count the day of the order as a day. Most companies are smaller than you think so 2 business days is actually very quick and sounds like they did a good job. I have one order that I made on the 13th (thats a little over $500) from another bank and I don't even think it's shipped to me yet. I'm not worried though cause I am going through a reputable vendor and I'm sure it'll show up. Patience is key.

As far as what you ordered I would never purchase from Barney's. They steal other people's work and that is super lame. They sell Mimosa (apparently they added Evo to the name now) and that is a strain by Symbiotic. When you read the description that is literally a description of the Symbiotic strain but their picture looks nothing like the ones I've seen posted on IG from Symbiotic and though they mention the correct parent names, the male and female are reversed. They also sell Wedding Cake which is a strain by Seed Junky. He's not selling seeds anymore so I think that is less lame, but Barney's started selling it before he stopped I believe. I would not support a company that does this.

Yes, my first seed order. I did not know Barney’s farm did this. Thanks for info. Will not be supporting Barney’s anymore.

Ya

You should probably stick to Amazon orders

Sounds like seed buying is above your pay grade
Its not like there's a how to guide on doing it...... oh wait its stickied at the top of this sub.
Seriously OP you should change the title of the thread to First time buyer made a mistake. Sounds like Greybeard is on point to ship your order in 2 business days. Ill check them out based on their quick transaction.
Throwing shade at greybeard even after he's got tracking.

Well thats the real world. You went and made an accusation against a seedbank that wasn't true. You still haven't gone and deleted your mistakes and leave it up. Don't ask for forgiveness while shitting on them.

I changed the title
Also seedbanks have trouble with Credit Cards, since its federally illegal MC and Visa won't touch them. When a few are lucky enough to set one up its usually under a different name or company. If you do a chargeback it screws everyone over cuz that bank won't deal with CC if ppl are doing chargebacks.
I know your situation but next time just come on here and ask if its normal instead of assuming scam. Lots of folks will answer your questions and explain alot of possible scenarios.
If your new, Neptune seed bank is a good proper one to check out. Also look at JBC seeds.
