Just thought I'd let folks here on RIU how a few recent orders have worked out for me. I've never ordered from these shops before (well, maybe from Nirvana in the distant past, I really can't remember), but based on reviews I've read on this forum I decided to give it a try. I've had some orders go MIA in years past - although not recently - so I'm hesitant to place larger orders from any one shop until I'm sure that my order is likely to AT LEAST arrive - preferably in a reasonable time-frame.
FYI, these orders were all placed online using a credit card and for delivery to the same address in So Cal, USA.
Order #1: from Nirvana...Blue Mystic and Papaya, 1 pk ea, total $67 w/s&h; placed order Jan 30. Seeds arrived TODAY...so 12 days total. Packaging was reasonably stealthy, and the beans appear to be in good condition.
Order #2: from Sannie's shop...Jackberry F3 and New Blue Diesel, 1 pk ea, total $85; placed order Feb 7. Seeds arrived today (so 5 days total)...stealthy packaging and good condition as well. Also, they shipped five free seeds (something called "Chocolate Cheese"... strange, lol)
Order #3: from Attitude Seedbank...TGA Subcool Jilly Bean, 1 pk, total (+ 2 free seeds), total $120 (ouch!). Order placed Feb 9. Last update - on that same day was "the transaction was successful and we will ship your goods at the first possible opportunity (if applicable)."Yeah, it's "applicable," lol. Looking forward to trying out a Subcool strain...so far I've read only good reviews on this one. These beans cost considerably more than I'm used to paying, but hopefully they'll be worth it. FYI, I requested delivery of "original breeders packs" in a "cool mug in a box" (ha ha , I'll be the judge of that). Anyways, I'll update on this one if/when they arrive.
Not sure when exactly I'll be popping the seeds I received from Nirvana and Sannie's, but I'll try to remember to update on this thread when I do so I can comment on viability and whatnot. Until then I'll be storing them in the fridge in their original packaging.
Happy growing!
