On the hunt for a new seed supply , wont deal with company's that force bank transfers, can't be bothered with crypto either .
Seedsman are fine they do the job( few hassles to be expected),
The USA /Canada not worth the crap/freight.
Have brought from the UK in the past but alot of company's force bank transfers ( due to the laws regarding claim monies back on purchase upto 6 months).
Will have to start the silver spray again an start producing beans

Guaranteed to arrive. Guaranteed at least 70% germination rate. Discreet shipping standard. Usually arrives under 2 weeks Ive had them arrive in 1 week. The only time an order hadn’t arrived within 3 weeks I messaged them through the chat on their website they sent another package plus some freebies that arrived a week later

yeah its a tricky one especially when you like some variety, do we have any breeders on here?
ya just gotta keep ordering I loose orders but lately more orders get in.
the seed banks are upping there game with stealth shipping to.
I always try to do smallish orders.
I'm in Australia. down in tas customs are very tight here.
they can't check every package to many since covid started.
I recon I was loosing orders cause mail was that backed up, they where just throwing shit out when covid was in full flight.

Hey been a very long time since I've been on here, trying to get seeds in just for a little personal set up. Tried through Herbie's but the funds don't go through and say pending and fail to go through, tried a bank transfer but that was too difficult. Anyone else struggling? I rung the bank up and they said my card was 3d secured so unsure what's going on there. My last option is doing a cash mail order to attitude.

Had the same issue but was cause of no 3d secure, ended up using a credit card and went thru no worries. Took ages for the refund too,like 2 weeks. Ended up getting 2 orders for the price off one so happy days. Only used herbies so can't really vouch for anyone else bro.

seems to be a debt/master card thing spoke to bank(ment to be fixed mid to late Nov 22) they are looking into this as terms have changed by card provider(WestPac) and not loaded in NZ . This is a real for all not just NZ , This will hurt alot of Kiwi( and Aussie) home owners .....

I'm waiting on a order from Delicious Seeds -maybe another week or 2 they will turn up ( helps if you know someone overseas that can place order and you can trans funds to them ) done this a few times . Keep orders small and expect approx 3-5 weeks

Oh right so I wonder if an international gift card would work then? Is it only debit/visa?

Been 5+ years just wanna grow delicious seeds sugar Candy again as that was by far the best strain I ever grew.

I have run into a dodgy seemed fake Herbies website that tried to get $ off me in Ukrainian. I got suspicious when the website wouldn’t let me sign into my Herbies account. So just incase heres a good link to Herbies seeds

Create an account, verify it with your email, create your order then enter your debit/credit card details & done.

Oh right I was definitely on the right website. Must be my bank. I'll have to try getting a credit card to do it. What a muck around it is these days. I've heard of a few people having issues.

Ive never had issues with Herbies. Ive Bank transferred with them also, it was a little bit more involved compared to entering card details but if you can navigate around a forum website it shouldn’t give you too much trouble

Oh right was that through Wise? I tried making an international bank transfer and the bank wanted way too many details about what I was buying.
