Been lurking. Tried last night to order seeds from nirvana, north seed bank, oregon seed banks, dank team, etc and none of them take credit card?

Looking for a cheap reliable source in usa. Tried to order thru attitude seed bank also. Chose credit card and says to call them. Well i cant call international lol

I believe master card has caved to political pressure. So if you're using MC you'll have more problems than visa. I can't speak for many seed banks. But I've ordered from attitude with my card. BUT not online. The site wouldn't take my card. I called them and they took my order over the phone. I do believe I had to call the bank and tell them it wasn't a fraudulent purchase. That was about 5 years ago though.

I know you can use your CC at riot seeds. He has some pricey stuff and some reasonable stuff. I've heard good things about seedsherenow. But I've got no idea about CC.

I've sent money orders to dr greenthumb I sent payment registered and insured. Got my seeds in 19 days.

I've also used western union to get mr nice seeds. Plenty of places but if you're only willing to use CC your choices will be limited.

You dam sure can call international. All you need is a calling card and a landline.

Im not opposed to sending a western union or money gram. Just not cash or money order.

Well if you take your time and join mr nice seeds auctions. They must approve account before you can bid. But once you're enrolled you can't beat their prices. They might be a little slow on delivery sometimes. It all depends when you get your order in. They actually have to go to western union to pick up your money. Then bring it back and match it with the order. So if your money arrives just after they made picked up. It could take a little extra for yoor money to be received. BUT THEYVE NEVER EVER FAILED ME. They can be a little slow with email replies as well. But they've got a new auction manager who seems to have plugged some of those holes and you can contact him and he replied much quicker.

Searched green point. Not too many choices on there. So i tried to call attitude and it goes thru on my landline but they are closed. Do some of you get a prepaid gift card? Or use cc?

Greenpoint is more of a breeder than a broker. So your choices will be less. Just use your CC. Most places have a sister company with a friendlier name that shows up. Look at FAQ or ask them when you order. If you're going to use attitude they're in Britain so look at the time difference. If you want to get your order out fast. Call when they open. Yes that's early AM. If you call in the morning here it's either going to be late in the day or worse end of the day over there. I believe seedsherenow takes CC. But that's memory I can't recall I never used them. But it's one of a few that were recommended to me when I was looking to change things up.

I dont know if your in the states or not..but I just some seeds from Choice seed bank..they are Attitude..

here is how I been ordering for last 10 years...I got a wal mart money card...I get my order together..see what the total is..i put 20 dollars more than total for charges the card charges you for over sea purchases..I think its 3%...when check out I use Visa credit...

when you get the card go online an set up the account for the card so you can use it then..they will senfd u another card in a week..the one you get is a temp but usable...they will not take mastercard ...Herbies stopped cards all together...the wal mart card is the safest way...just incase your card gets compromised you dont loose money like you would with a bank card..

Its never failed yet....

Green point seems to only have reg seeds in stock not fem. Dont most get fem seeds?

It depends what you want. If you only want to grow female plants then that's what you get. There are fem crosses and then there's S1 seeds. S1 is the only way to put a clone only in seed form. But they aren't identical and will still be variation. But the only thing a grower can do with an S1 is either create S2 seeds or cross it with something else. By selling fem seeds they are limiting your access to the genetics! You might notice a breeder holds their prized males closer than they do their females!
