Seed Banks - Who can we trust?

Just got my order from http://femaleseeds.nl

First the good:

  • Prices are really low
  • Tons of freebies
  • Free shipping over 100$ or 100€
  • Genetics are well liked on some forums

Their C99 has a good reputation on http://growdiaries.com and was recommended to me by @Esrgood4u. That’s what I plan on growing and the reason for my order.

My order is on the right, freebies on the left:

Some interesting package art lol:

Looking forward to this one later, mimosa x champagne kush:

OK now for the bad…

I ordered 2 weeks ago. For the first 6 days I heard NOTHING from them… I didn’t even get a confirmation email from their website. I got a confirmation that their 3rd party got my bank transfer, but nothing from them directly.

I emailed them the next day asking about my order and didn’t get a response for a week, at which time they sent me tracking info.

Their site says same day shipping before 3PM Netherlands time… Not accurate.

In the 7 days of radio silence I emailed them again, I woke up early to call them during business hours in the Netherlands, I created an instagram account to message them there, I messaged them on grow diaries, I messaged them on autoflower.net… Radio Silence…

That was not cool.

That being said, I did get my order and a ton of freebies in a reasonable time frame from the Netherlands to the US. If the germ rate is good and the plants come out OK, I would consider ordering there again, this time with the expectation of poor communication.
