I am positive current stock wasn't the issue. Therefore, not the seller's fault. What if I sold seeds and you lied and told me a whole pack of your seeds didn't germinate when nothing was wrong with them, you were just greedy? I should just take your word for it and replace it?
well, i DID have problem and i sucked it up and didn't try and get ANYTHING, even though I spent a few hundred bucks, but that doesn't count for shit huh? and I didn't like playing the lottery with MWS, that is why I will order from banks in the US from now on
So, are you saying all few hundred dollars worth of seeds didn't germinate? Because that's one I would definitely attribute to grower error.
no, I am saying I am done with you and MWS. see ya
Thank God for that. I was wondering when you'd get off my ass.
thanks for showing potential MWS customers what they have to look forward to. I'm sure lewis appreciates you stepping up for him,lol
Oh, look, you're back. Why am I not surprised?
make up your mind, either the breeder is responsible for the seeds or the seedbank is. now you're claiming the bank is why you have pretty pictures.lmfao
When did I ever claim the bank was to blame? My point is, I have never had a bad seed from them.
Out of interest old mate, did MWS get back to you yet?
He did this morning mate. Lewis said that the suppliers have had no reports of germ issues. Of course they will say that, they dont want to lose money on old beans now. BCSC doesnt exist anymore from my research, they are freakin ghosts. I told Lewis I'm not after refunds or replacements, more for MWS to not sell them. This is the third lot of the same strain from 3 different banks that haven't germed! Also had a pack of their NL5 not pop too!
How do you expect a bank to inspect a breeder's pack full of seeds with no production date, lot number, or anything else to keep track of their quality?
I have no idea, thats their problem. maybe two dates on packaging? best after and before? Would be a good start.
I mean, I'm not trying to argue with you.
long ramble, do-not-read. [TL/DR]
Any recommendations for US based banks?Perhaps off-topic-
Remember when a buncha tshirts n coffee mugs were gettin snagged going thru Chicago for several years? that was a turning-point for me!
The last order I've ever made from overseas (from the tude) happened to get the dreaded green-tape from Customs and my beans were gone. Even though the seeds were insured for no-charge replacements, i still said, Fk-it and just discontinued anymore overseas purchases. Insurance was an xtra 20$ and I paid it but didn't want anymore hassle. So that order was over 300$ that i sacrificed, knowing that American Seedbanks would simply be an easier choice and likely with less liability on my end.
ALL 'banks' have to keep uppin their game and provide impeccable customer service to retain business. A company from outside of the u.s., especially, has to standout and get completely behind their products to compete (now) with any of the american companies. How times have changed for foreign seedbanks; We're no longer at the mercy of Marc Emery or The Attitude.
If I have a problem, they/whomever (generally) needs to reimburse or replace imo. And I only mean, within reason and with certain guidelines to also protect the seedbank some, as well as, the customer. Then, they can take it up with their suppliers of beans, aka the breeders, if they believe it was a bad batch. The banks figure it out from complaints if the beans were good or not, that's part of their job. I'm assuming that they are properly maintaining inventory conditions on their end.
Basically- I'm not dropping a few hundo here and there, to not be satisfied one hunnit percent. .o2
I know there are several and a particularly a good one in MI, but I don't want to spam Midweek's Thread. Let's keep trying to give these guys a chance to earn our business fair and square.
