Buyer Beware: True North Seedbank

definitely service should be quicker in your home state. I've heard them mentioned on this site. For some reason I feel European breeders are better if only by reputation and history. What about west coast breeders, can't they ship to you?
I'm sure they could, there's just so many choices out there it's hard to know what the best one is.
 
What a waste of my valuable time! I had bought from TNSB before, and was not a problem, but this time, wow, I would not think the same company. I placed an order and paid, after two weeks waiting for the shipping notification, nothing. So I dropped them an email through their online contact, no reply. Three weeks since the order and nothing, so I contacted again, no reply. Three weeks a several days after the order was placed I contacted again, and nothing! Ironically I got a generic response to my first inquiry when I sent my last request for info. Something about we are busy and will get back to you soon, bla bla bla.

OK, I know covid has slowed you, but did you send everyone home? you don't even have someone working from home responding to info request? Too bad for you. I cancelled my order, and contacted Crop King with their online chat and got a real person right away! I told them that I had to cancel with TNSB because no response from them, they told me they are getting a lot of people say that. I guess good for them. They also said that they are only behind about 24 hours, not bad compared to TNSB how are, to the best of my knowledge, at least three weeks plus a couple days! Oh well, never again will I go back to TNSB.

On the same boat. Ordered from TNSB on 4/25 , status still says pending. They haven't charged my credit card yet. I was wondering if you were able to get a cancellation confirmation email?

I ordered from Seedsman earlier in the month, they accepted my Mastercard payment right away. Took 3-4 weeks, but everything looks legit!

Trying to stock up on seeds for the next decade, going to put another order on seedsman once that corona check come in!

Nah, heard good reviews about bodhi and I know GLG carries that breeder, I was actually disappointed TNSB didn't have them but again I wanted to go the simple route and use my credit card. I've read where other people used great lakes genetics and were happy and they are even in the same state as me so shipment should be quick.

It looks like crop king only carries their own seeds, not sure how reputable they are as a breeder.
Just got my order today from GLG. Took a little more than a week to ship. What is special about using them is Bad Dawg always includes his own freebies. This was my second order from them. Yes, going to the PO to get a parcel tracked and picking up one of those free small boxes is a chore. Remember CC leaves paper trail. I love BD's freebies and hope he will market those someday. The other items are clearly packed very neatly with original logos. I also ordered from a place in Diego that took over two weeks. Seeds just come in baggie with no logos. They take CC but I hate using it now as there is no way to reclaim like a MO. Interesting selection but shitty service right. Here it is if you must:

internet market is saturated with "breeders/resellers".

Yes, but like you said it depends on where you live. I Revere Canada and I suppose it being legal in the whole country instead of the Confederacy we go through in the USA you probably don't have to worry about Big Brother reaching into your overseas order and plucking the order.
I have also found a taste for cooking with cannabis. Try some in a batch of spaghetti.

Seedsman seeds shipped from spain. To us mailer. Mailed in stateside. Bought 13 of 3 strains got 17 for free 4 bonus strains 3 seeds of each. Got bubba kush freebie instead of blueberry freebie. All in all great company.
Stealth wise the attitude is the best came in a prepackaged product.
Garden of green padded envelope in original packaging.
 
People please avoid using True North Seed Bank and CanukSeeds which they own. They are ghosting everyone and i suspect they are just a scamming site at this point. Ive been waiting over 35 days for any confirmation of shipping and have even asked for a refund. no response.

I ordered in April from TNSB in April. Took about 1 week for them to accept my e transfer and total about 17 days from order until i recieved my seeds (I live in Canada).
Ordered:

5 x Canuk auto fem OG Kush
5 x Canuk auto fem Northern Lights

OG Kush went 5/5 in germination
Northern Lights went 0/5 germination (under the same program as the OG kush)

I sent them an email regarding the northern lights on May 23rd so I'll report back when (if) I hear something back.

My friend also made an order through TNSB so I'll update if that arrives. They have accepted his e transfer so hopefully he'll get the shipping info soon.

True North Seeds is not a reliable seed bank... I was hoping to give a Canadian business but after trying to do business with these guys I give up... I would not even try with these guys... Go somewhere else...

Huh. Myself and a friend both ordered from TNSB earlier in the year and had no problems but it sounds like they've gone MIA since the covid.

Fine when I ordered got some freebies and a massive catalogue what people forget is shipping is slow everywhere
That was not the issue at all for me there was a several week gap between them receiving payment and them shipping the order. I wound up buying seeds from great lakes genetics while I was waiting, getting irritated at TNSB. I had to mail my money to GLG and still received my order less than 2 weeks after making my order and shipping my money, less than a week after they received my money. GLG hooked it up a lot better on the freebies too, all and all it was a better deal at GLG. The canuk seeds zkittlez I bought through TNSB are doing pretty good though and one has a really good smell for how young it is. The O.G. Kush seeds I bought from TNSB were kinda small and the plants don't seem very hearty, one of them is junk.

did you get some of the elite seeds? My latest from them are thin mints, wedding cake (elite), and zkittlez x glue #4

I bought a better variety from GLG, mostly bodhi strains but still some variety. I'll probably venture quite a bit more with my next order

Any breeder can slap the word elite on their plants, sounds like marketing to me.

From everything I've read on here it seems bodhi is a far more reputable breeder than canuk seeds but I didn't see them having that elite marketing anywhere.
