BDSC price matches other seed banks. Not sure if it extends to Black Friday deals, but definitely worth sending BDSC an email if they have what you want.

It did not work that way for me. I emailed them, they answered asking "what's the price to match, I answered.......haven't heard anything in 4 days............that's not price matching, lol.

To be honest, not completing the conversation even if just to say no, is rude and lacks integrity....................I'll shop elsewhere.

What were you looking to price match and from where?

If I were requesting a price match, I'd put all the info in the first email rather than trying to establish a lengthy email chain. Like "CSI is running a sale on X for $blah with discount code "something"...will you match that price? If so, how does it work on the site?" That way they only have to reply once. Emails have a way of getting buried in a busy inbox, especially when you don't have dedicated staff for customer service. Not saying they shouldn't have responded to a second email in a timely manner, but I know how easy it is to miss or forget to respond to an email.

That said, I've never price matched anything with them. Their prices are generally right in line with others selling the same products unless other banks are running special promos.

I don't see the need for getting long winded in an email. I asked if they price matched and based on their answer, moved forward. I am really not interested in what you would do to be honest, I'll leave that to you. Btw, I went there for a price match after reading your post............and now it turns out you really have no idea if they price match at all. But there you were posting about it...........

I asked for a price match for GLG on Bodhi seeds. I got no response to that request let alone a price match. Breeder's sells Bodhi for $77 a pack. That's the highest I've seen. GLO, GLG, JBC all beat that price.

So, I'll file your claim about his good prices along side your claim about hs price matching.

I think your complaint is completely valid, but it could be your message slipped through the cracks.
They seem to be good people.

I've had nothing but good interactions with them by messaging them on IG.
However, I have never asked for a price match. I've only bought seeds that are only found on their site.

I have asked for a discount code which I use each purchase.

I really fought with myself on the KBG drop and for now, I've convinced myself that I'm not really interested in it.

I was able to pick up 2 packs of Rubber City that seemed to magically restock during the KBG drop.

I grew out a pack of Tk x Silver Pearl and it really impressed me.
I'm getting ready to pop a pack of
Indiana Bubblegum x Silver Pearl

I bought the s1 and soureen x kbg. Haven't really wanted to pop either, probably because the kbg seems to be an Afghani and I'm stuck in Og/chem mode lol

To be fair, they have no more control when it comes to customs or shipping across borders than any other seed bank. Canadian customs is reportedly a major PITA and slow AF. That said, not sure why they'd still try to ship to Canada when almost no US seed bank will ship to Canada for exactly this reason.
