Jordan of the Islands

I just received my shit maybe on Friday, was out of town. But finally able to asses the damage, 3 different strains escaped the storage pod, 2 strains intact, one strain completely excluded from my order, and no fukn freebies!!!
Although I sympathize with JOTI, I would have waited longer than the three to four weeks to complete my order, for a 100% satisfaction rate. Meaning let’s get it right the first time, save the added bullshit. Now I am emailing you, you’re emailing me, someone has to cover shipping, all before you have to fix my order, then there’s the wait.
I hope to have all of this resolved by Thanksgiving… lol which is when I planned on planting them anyway. But DAMn… save the added bullshit

I ordered the same time but with bank transfer and still nothing so no excuse. He’s too dammed cheap or lazy to offer tracking. I’d even pay the extra but not even an option. Kinda fishy.

@Indoornesian what strains got mixed up ?

Yowza, this thread certainly ain’t helping the dude. I’m almost nervous to receive my orders now LOL. I’ve been severely disappointed so far in the amount of effort I’ve had to put in keeping tabs on these orders for him. He needs help desperately it seems.

I ordered from Midwest US on April 12, processed May 5, “shipped” after I poked him a week later. I had 3 separate orders in the span of a week because I’ve got my own problems. All paid instantly with Bitcoin and I even paid in USD on all 3 orders! He said he was going to combine them all into one for shipping reasons. After hearing these horror stories I’m expecting them all to literally be combined into one.

At this point I’m tired of keeping tabs on it all. I think I’ll just wait a month or two and let the pot smoke settle. Then when I still don’t have the order we can start talking re-shipment when less people are in line with me.

I’ve personally shipped some seeds to a few Canadians here on OG recently and it took maybe 2 weeks at the most to reach them, with tracking! My first order with JOTI was 70 days ago. I’ve gone through a complete flowering cycle since.

At this point if I order some of his stuff which I do want I’m gonna go the @Tappy route

I assume JOTI is like BOG just a husband and wife team who have been in the game for a long time. They probably have no interest in being busted for shipping beans out of country. Which is probably why I can’t order anything from BOG as a Canadian. Customs is a bitch, tracking can be tracked back to you and packaging becomes expensive (if done right) which cuts down on profits. I’m surprised JOTI even bothers to ship direct from his site to the US.

I’d recommend Americans find his gear in seed banks like the vancouver seed bank or seed master . Getting direct seems to be the issue. :v:

Blueberry, God’s bubba, and oh God. The oh God beans wasn’t even on my list, maybe you can count that as the freebie. But I read about it and would definitely not have ordered it. Also adds at least 15 beans to the mash up.

That’s what I’m talking about @Mongobongo. Change the temp a bit.
On a more positive note that blackberry breath looks like a hot gg4 mess! ( meant to be a compliment ) and to mention that it was on the top of my list, as well as one of the ones not mixed up .

So here is what we know for fact Jordan has fire has atleast as far back as the late 90s that I’m aware of he is super slow at processing/shipping/answering emails …I don’t understand his process cause I’m not there but it would seem to me that either his system is broken or he is preselling… Please understand I’m not trying to throw shade on the man as far as I’m concerned he is a North American cannabis pioneer but it’s as simple as open an envelope see funds and order check to make sure it is correct amount put the seeds in envelope and address it…short of the envelope not having correct cash or order info I don’t understand any other way…well unless he just has piles of envelopes lying around waiting to be opened :roll_eyes: full of cash…again I like Jordan and hope to deal with his gear one day and that day will be mediated by tappy

Wish I had went that way but the offer wasn’t made or i didn’t see it until after I had placed the order. Hopefully it’s just slow mail. The slow replies are all on him though. Kinda bad business.
What I find troubling of what I ordered isn’t listed on any of the Canadian seed banks under his name. Wondering if the beans are even ready

I am beginning to think he oversold his seeds. Because a lot were smallish. Which i have never experienced before. And he has always taken a while to ship it seems like it has taken way too long. I still think everyone will get their seeds. But the wait is more than a little excessive for ameribros

An update on my Joti order, in case anyone is interested. I emailed J about my mixed up order, and he quickly followed up with a very good resolution. I can only appreciate the great lengths he’s going thru to fulfill everyone’s demands, especially during these trying times.
Never was it my intention to use this thread to bash this guy, and I apologise if it came off like that. Everyone makes mistakes, and how you bounce back defines how you will be received. And to that I offer my respect to JOTi and his business, and wish him well.
On a side note tho, it ain’t like I’m tossing my three strain mash up in the garbage. After I receive my re-sent order, I’ll be offering the mix to this community somehow !

From what I have heard from other breeders in BC… they are all having problems with extremely slow shipping even within Canada. Its hit and miss for lack of a better term.

@ubcchemo, I have no doubt that shipping is slow to, from and within Canada, as it is in most places in the world. Still, that doesn’t explain Jordan taking weeks to a month or more to move orders from “processing” to “shipped”. That’s on Jordan - pure and simple.

Please note, I am not complaining about how he’s handling his orders. There might be a great reason or a myriad of poor excuses, but his slow shipping is definitely not simply the postal system.

If anyone here has a good enough relationship with Jordan that they can get him to involve himself in this thread, I think it would be helpful to many of us…and to him.

What concerns me is what I ordered isn’t carried by any of the banks that carry his gear. Makes me wonder if I bought a myth
