SourPatchSeeds USA

is this bank a no go?

there are alot of strains available on his site but doesnt tell you they are out of stock until he receives payment. will not refund, you have to make second choice. your best bet is to email him and triple check it is in stock before you send money.

was argumentative with me and tiold me i should have overnighted payment! This is after telling me in stock. he had payment in 72 hours.

Here's the deal-io, if you follow the protocol you will receive order... Protocol: 1) Email/Call to ensure in stock and tell him you do not want replacements, 2) send Blank Money Order, 3) Overnight, 4) with Tracking, 5) with Correct Shipping Address on your overnight receipt, 6) Keep Receipts, 7) and Patiently Wait. Orders can take some time as Jay does everything by himself, he likely does take orders that he doesn't have stock for (not sure whether on purpose or b/c his system for inventory), and he can get adversarial, in that he may ask if You may have made error in some of above; however, dude is readily available for inquiries, he will make up for shortcomings on his part, he does honor his word, and he will, ultimately, get you your order.

shouldnt have to call to see if item is in stock, seedbanks should not list beans if not in stock, ive never once in 15 orders from attitude & 7 orders from ngr etc ordered seeds that were not there, its just lousy/lazy business practice of a seedbank to keep listing beans that are not in stock, its all about being honest in business, who wants to get messed around especially when ordering beans as its stressful enough when mostly peeps are ordering from countries where its naughty to do so, the genuine no nonsense seedbanks will always get the repeat customers

Exactly, at the end of the day, most of us are doing something illegal in one way or another. You did something illegal. You didn't get busted, but somehow you still lost??

hempdepot for example, color codes them green, red , purple.

green -order away
purple -list second choice low in stock
red -out of stock.

hd has been selling beans for almost 20 years that way.

Sourpatch leaves them up, even after getting blasted on forums, and me asking why it is still listed 5 times now. its been 2 moths since sold out. he has a website that is easy to modify. no excuses.

no beef at all with you man, only trying to state what makes a good seedbank & what doesnt, im glad we can both express our opinions without name calling & getting abusive, peace to you & all other RIU members, we are all here for the same reasons basically

Big ups, to ya! Just to reiterate my previous statement, if you want to obtain order from SPSB, you may want to adhere to aforementioned protocol, but, apparently, if you want to order from hempdepot, then their inventory methodology should keep you from ordering stock that is unavailable.

there are a lot of options popping up domestic US and it offers choices. We have choices and we can share real experiences and we should. What I watch is outright fans of places that have nothing to back it up. And also, I agree that with modern technology and competition it should not be on the customer to check on stock and basically bend over backward to make a successful order. Why would you do that when there are numerous other options if you take any time and look around? Don't tell me it's for seeds you can't get elsewhere because there isn't one strain on Sour Patch nor has there been that you can't find elsewhere. With all that said, here's a few facts from experience and paying attention. Sour patch runs their stock situation poorly and bordering on shady. And most of all they are totally over priced! There are consistently strains posted that are $50 or more than other ready options. So to each his own. But as long as we have cheerleaders for these banks even when they are not really acting at the top of the game is a shame as the bad actors just keep doing it and laughing all the way to the bank.

Hip Hip Hooray get Sour Patch today! Oops, your ignorance is showing! Where ya gonna get Aficionado for starters? Further, if you read the review, it can be scathingly critical at points. Yeah, that's honesty. Hmmm, let's "back" my position up, do you see my Avatar? Ummm, Yeahhhh, there's that. Don't you think that if you are going to make disparaging remarks about a place you should be able to "back it up?" I got on here to share an experience for any interested parties, but now I get to eviscerate those who think it's called Trollitup, this is fun!

Untz untz untz, Baby!

So you don't know where else to find afficianado? Thanks for making my point because I know at least one other place to do so. Wow you proved your point lol! And so what else makes you able to back up your support of SP? That you bought from them and had to bend over backward with the "protocol" to get your seeds? Ok then, once again made my point for me because I don't need to jump through hoops to buy stuff I can get elsewhere Ina more professional manner. Finally, at least you didn't argue about the pricing but if you enjoy paying so much more then good luck and have fun. Guess what my friend, guess who is the "troll" here? Look in the mirror....

Haha Im not by any means solely predisposed to use of SPSB, I want to help anyone who may want to obtain, otherwise, unobtainable genetics, but I feel compelled to respond to your false words... you don't even know how to spell Aficionado, let alone find it! Fact: any intelligent, rational individual hoping to maximize the likelihood of successful arrival of their order in today's climate should follow Protocol. Fact: Aficionado referred a ninja to SPSB. Fact: SPSB sells Exotic Genetix for $25 less than SHN, and SPSB is referred by Exotic (see: Exotic's Instagram). Now, what else would you like to hate on today, and could you back your assertions with anything other than, well, your assertions?

Lemme get that mirror for ya...

found this thread in response to checking out the sourpatch/ money order situation. really wanted some bay exclusives genetics but i noticed the only payment method now is money order ; for multiple sites. already had made a successful order with sourpatch a few months ago so made a dive with a couple bay exclusives packs and had no issue . order received.( though i didn't get an " payment received /order shipped" email. woulda been kinda nice with that fat blank money order ;p ) i figured he updated the info on site quantity cuz some stuff does say " out of stock" or " so many remaining " but maybe it is out of date. guess i got lucky with my packs ;p. just my input.

Sour patch is some what new. According to them the breeders are taking advantage of that and charge them more than other seed banks.

FYI I know several ways of getting afficionado . If all else you can get them in person direct from the breeder from one of the of cups and festivals the are going on every week. There's several U.S. banks and euro banks that carry them as well

IMO only order from ngr / dank team. I guess seed vault is doing better now. At least according to friends that sell seeds through them.

It's much better to get them in person. I know of a dispensary in studio city that carries aficionado, tga, and dna seeds. Best deals happen at the cups.

Aficionado is extremely over priced. Even more than gage green.

I personally had bad experience with attitude and seed depot. But good experiences with ngr. I won't ever order seeds again when I can get them in person and haggle the price. Or get some freebies too.

SPSB is one person and no "they" are not getting charged more by breeders nor are they necessarily charging consumers more than other banks: SPSB sells Exotic for less than SHN, sells Crockett, HNW, Sincity for less than your beloved NGR.
Look, if you "know" of other locations (besides at festivals, where we all aren't going to be able to attend) where you can procure Aficionado, then why not simply state it? It would literally take less words to just state the names of the banks than to vaguely say there are "several U.S. banks and euro banks." You say FYI but you didn't really inform us of anything other than that there are physical festivals Aficionado attends somewhere (which I, for one, was already aware). Furthermore, you might actually drop some knowledge on folks rather than just your opinion. People, please stop just "saying words" and pretending that makes them true, because in the short amount of time Ive been a part of this forum, Ive been totally appalled by the frequency with which misinformation is being spewed on here.
