BEWARE GORILLA SEEDBANK

I have never, ever had the kind of problem I have had with this seed bank. If I could get more into the specifics it would take a long time, but in my recent experience, these people are rip off artists that don’t update their listings and trick customer into updating their known breeder packs with generic fems and autos.

In short, I saw Delta 9 Labs Super Star, a rare strain for sale on their site. Getting them money was a real hassle. Sending cash by mail to Europe with an Extra $20 for tracking after their own shipping fee of $20.

My order was 30$ for seeds + $20 for shipping + $20 for tracking at post office. That’s $70+ tax and everything it was $80. I told them this was outrageous and he said he would make it up to me. I told him if he did, I would write a good review on the forums I’m a member of.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally I got an email asking if I’d like to ditch the Super Star and upgrade to one of these below:

Advanced Female Seeds - Automatic AK Female
Feminised Seeds - Blue Treacle Auto
Feminised Seeds - Blackberry Auto
Feminised Seeds - Sugar Mama Auto
Feminised Seeds - Critical Auto
Feminised Seeds - Auto Gelato
Feminised Seeds - British Auto Outdoor Mix

*Photoperiod & Feminized Seeds (NOT AUTOFLOWERING!!!!)
Advanced Female Seeds - Blueberry Twist
Advanced Female Seeds - Knockout
Advanced Female Seeds - Ice Breaker
Advanced Female Seeds - Pineapple Chunk
Advanced Female Seeds - Northern High Lights
Advanced Female Seeds - Honeysuckle
Feminised Seeds - Chronic
Feminised Seeds - Dos Si Dos
Feminised Seeds - Double Berry
Feminised Seeds - Girl Scout Cookies
Feminised Seeds - Swiss Skunk (Formerly Super Chees

Why would I upgrade from something I specifically sought out from a known breeder for some generic crap?

I said no, waited, waited, waited. A week later he then tells me that that they’re out of stock! I was like, why would he wait that long?

I emailed him saying I wanted Paradise Opium, or G13 Labs Superskunk.

I waited a few more days. He again told me to upgrade to the bulk fems/autos.

I said look, you didn’t remove the old Super Star listing, just swap it out. He said G13 labs and Opium were $45 and $50. He told me to post the extra 15$!

I sent him a link proving the G13 labs was $35 on his site and then he sent me some kind of link where it says they are $79 of five seeds! He said my link was dated, but I found it on their website going through the proper channels and site loops – and nope - they're still $35. And if not, why isn’t it updated? Strange, strange.

I have never ever had a seed bank do this. Most seed vendors go a long way to fix a mistake. Last week, Reboman on Strainly, for instance, sent me 4 extra packs of 16 seeds for delayed shipping problems.

Most vendors seem to want to protect their reputations as upstanding businesses, and I have found this to be mostly true.

So I said I wanted my money back. Andy @ Gorilla Seeds got mad when I said I was going to tell my story online, and said he was blocking my email. Not even a refund.

I’ve dealt with 50-60 different seedbanks and online vendors and this is by far the worst, out of many sellers. There are many reputable sellers who have integrity, I would beware of this one.

I want to add... I'm not going to argue here. This was my experience. I'm a firm believer that if someone does something to one person, they will do it to others.

I can't believe how childish, sketchy and unprofessional this business is and I'm making it damn well known what they did.

I spoke too soon. Midweek is another uk company. I have been having a lot of problems dealing with overseas companies. LindaSeeds is easy, they take credit card. Midweek and others require cash mailed or bank transfers that cost like $40. After the $30 shipping ... that's a lot to pay. If anyone else knows where to get these, in America preferably, let me know!

I'd like to make this clear, if I didn't above. These guys had some fake page with G13 LABS Super Skunk listed at like $69 for a 5 pack. My link by searching on their site said $35. When I went back to check the link that said $69, the page was back to $35 again! I have no idea how they did this, but they did..


$35... and only 5$ more than my Super Star. What happened to the 69$ price page, I have no clue... but that's some funny magic if you ask me!

Also... instead of refunding me, they blocked my emails. I'm shocked these guys have a partnership with rollup giving away all their generic seeds..

could it be that the $35 page is viewed with GBP as the currency, and the $69 page is when viewed in AUD?

35 British pounds to USD is 42$. My mistake saying they were $35. I don't know where some of you are getting these numbers, and I swear on my life he sent a link where the price was $69 USD for 5 seeds...

The way he went about handling it, like an angry child, is priceless. Again, 50+ breeders, some with multiple transactions and never anything like this. I almost don't want the seeds or refund and merely this wonderful story to pass around as a good example of who not to do business with.

I've read NukeHead seeds does the same thing, although I've ordered from them and not had it happen. A few more breeders I did business with did some sketchy shit but nothing like Gorilla Seedbank.

I understand your upset but thats kinda a low blow on our end, how we were supposed to know you would have this issue 6 months down the road after they came online with us

I take sponsor complaints very seriously, and I take my advertising job very seriously as well, you are more than welcome to send me all the info and email correspondence so I can take a look and see whats up at [email protected] youre welcome to black out any of your personal information, however i always do appreciate some understanding in that Rollitup isnt always aware of these issues, so its not really on us

Midweek is solid. Just ordered from them. Came in Breeder pack too. I messaged them before I ordered to make sure and they got back quickly.

Any company that does the old bait n switch should not be supported by a reputable forum. I saw the same seeds a few weeks ago but knowing they were probably old and knowing this industry I didn’t bother to invest in these.

I seriously doubt these went out of stock between the time the OP ordered and the time he was emailed. Once they have his money they had the audacity to suggest to him garbage seeds instead without even admitting they were out of the seeds he wanted. How many others have they pulled the old bait n switch on from this forum alone? Once they have your money you’re likely to take whatever garbage they offer rather than eating $20 to have them pay to send it back.

Honestly glad for this post, I will avoid these guys.
