Hello everyone, this is a review of both Seedsman and Attitude seed banks. This is my first time ordering from both banks. I have previously ordered exclusively through Nirvana and had no troubles with them but that was five years ago, and now that I'm in the tail end of my first grow in the last five years I'm honestly not too impressed by Nirvana's selection of strains hence the move towards new seed banks.
Getting into things though, I placed an order with Seedsman on October 3rd for the following seeds:
Fast forward to October 21th. I open my mailbox and am greeted by bright green US Customs tape. Knowing my seeds are probably gone, but remaining hopeful that stealth shipping saved me I went inside and opened it up. Unfortunately, all that was in there was a letter from US Customs in LA explaining my seeds had been taken, and the stealth item. I was livid when I saw what they considered "stealth" and charged me an extra ~$14 for. Same thing all my previous Nirvana orders that I had NOT paid for stealth shipping were shipped in. You'd think for $14 you would get a stealth item worth more than $1 and that you can actually hide things in well. They may have well have sent me a pair of socks with the seeds in them.
So immediately I email them with a picture of the letter from customs with a message letting them know that my stuff had been seized, and that I was not happy at all with what they considered stealth shipping, even explaining how banks that don't charge for stealth use the same shit they do. After sending this email I hopped over here to RIU and started looking through old threads trying to find a reliable seed bank with fast shipping to Colorado. They responded within a day or so asking for my address again.
So at this point I have no seeds, they haven't emailed me back after I provided my address and I'm freaking out because I either need to get more seeds within the next 10 days or spend a ton of money driving 12hrs round trip to Denver to get clones. This lead me to Attitude, and after browsing the site for about 8 hours I ended up ordering the following seeds:
This meant I would not get any of the free seeds above except the Tangie. I sent another email to customer support letting them know I was under the minimum, but wanted the promotion and requested that they add (2) TGA Subcool - Agent Orange [Regular] seeds to my order and let me know the difference so I could send them more BTC.
This was all within a 30 minute window at 6am Colorado time, and to my surprise customer support got back to me within an hour. They let me know I would need to place a new order for the seeds I wanted and put a note on the order to combine it. They also gave me a coupon code to use on the order so that I wouldn't be billed for anything but the seeds. Within 3 hours of placing that order they emailed me confirming both orders had been paid, that they were both boxed up and provided me a tracking number.
The order status changed to dispatched on October 22, with a tracking number. However, in their FAQ section they say if your tracking begins with "LL" and you live in the US that you will have to wait up to a week before the tracking will work and that you should track through USPS. The problem with this is the tracking number provided is a Royal Mail tracking number, which pulls nothing up on USPS or Royal Mail websites.
Next day, October 23rd, I get an email from Seedsman letting me know that they've confirmed my information and will be reshipping as soon as they can. I checked their website during the making of this post to make sure my dates were accurate and I noticed that the new reship was now listed under my orders, and had a tracking code. The order status implied my package was in the mail, but when I attempted to track through Royal Mail I was told that there was no such tracking number in existence.
So I guess we'll see which gets here first and I'll update as I receive seeds/info. Hopefully I get something this week, because I'd really like to start going perpetual. Just glad I ordered these a bit ahead of when I need them, as it's been 22 days since my initial seed order and I feel like if I ordered any later I would have completely fucked myself come a week or two from now.
Getting into things though, I placed an order with Seedsman on October 3rd for the following seeds:
- (5) Greenhouse Seed Co - Moby Dick [Feminized]
- (5) Greenhouse Seed Co - Kalashnikova [Feminized]
- (1) Mephisto Genetics - Phantasmo Express [Autoflower] (FREE)
