Greenpoint seeds!!

My payment was processed in Korea with a small surcharge. I got a call from my bank thinking it was fraud. Was not expecting that.

So i ordered The Deputy to try, The website says 60-70 days and the package I received says 65-80 day flowering! Well, that is a little too long if that is the case, I wanted one of their shorter flowing time crosses.

edit...
Oh great I see people's credit cards are getting scammed. Now I have to cancel my card (will cost 10 bucks because I did it not long ago).

Not very happy..
Korea sounds different. Was the transaction processor Payofix (you would have received an email from them)?

Thanks for the reply,
I would have probably cut it at 70, I just can’t do 11 weeks
Always been the case w/ me as well, but....
1. because of sales and reverse auctions [ and incorrect listing of finish times in some cases], I have several packs of GPS
2. pics and reports have been outstanding
3. [ I can't remember #3 ]

So, aside from the seed projects, I've decided to run almost nothing but GPS the rest of the year at least, especially since I have a full cabinet of jars of many varieties. With that commitment made, I can't justify going ten weeks only to chop an unfinished plant. Of the 5 finishing currently, two will go past 80. :cuss: But I'm saying right now ....this GPS smoke had best be quite noticeably better than my normally pretty good smoke. If not, it's back to 60 - 70 days strains for 2019.
 
Payofix scammed me hard, had several thousand charged to 2 different cards... I’m only on The Mag, but been reading here this morning as this is where there seems to be more info. Waiting on a reply from GPS, interested to find out what the whole story is.

Honestly, as of now the credit card fraud has me way more upset than the bunk gear.. seed biz is seedy, that don’t surprise me.. what baffles me is the lack of respect for GPS customers; take down the fucking credit card option. I hear others saying “it might be hard”, fuck - figure it out, that’s the worst excuse I’ve ever heard... WISH I could say that to my clients! Fact is they are aware of the problem, and it’s not been addressed in the least. Makes me nervous about whatever personal info GPS has of their customers.

Hope this all gets resolved, as I truly did like the reverse auction feature ... although, that is an interesting point someone else mentioned about flooding fridges & needing to keep customer turnover high.

right but what happens for someone who only wanted strain x and isn't interested in (or already has everything they were) other GPS strains? imo GPS should at least eat shipping if someone does want option C. This isn't a case of buyers remorse..

The right thing would be to refund everyone who bought the S1s.. no return bullshit.. you shouldn't have to b put on a list etc.. they should contact those affected and offer a refund. If someone would rather have more GPS merch instead, that should be there prerogative and they should be refunded in gold.. but the choice shouldn't be "either take sum more of my beans... or send the bunk shits I sold you back on your dime and then I'll refund you".. that's awful business :(

... do you get double the refund if you send back 11??... or half refund if you send back 6?? :eyesmoke:

I was so hyped to get my toes wet with the GPS gear i ordered on 4/20... I thought "this is a company that appears to know how to handle their business".. I'm glad they're at least doing something, and hopefully this makes the people affected by this fiasco happy, but imo they really should thro u guys a damn pack of testers or something for putting u thru this bullshit.. I kno they cant give back time, but they should try to compensate yall 4 straight up wasting your time because of their shitty quality control/business practices..

They're not obligated to do shit and I suppose I would at least be happy for something but I imagine a pack of testers would at least help ease the sting?
You're upset that the S1's are what they are, but you want testers as part of a refund?

Why?

If you can't figure out on your own why he wants you to send back the seeds before he refunds you, I'm sorry.

I am sorry...not really...but if I order a pair of boots from Amazon and they don't fit, I have to pay to ship them back out of my pocket. If I bought them through a third party on Amazon not only will I have to pay to ship them back, but may also have to pay a restocking fee just to return them.

Well, ok. But, if you order a pair of women's shoes and they send you a pair of men's boots instead, should the cost of correcting the error be on your head or the vendor's?

Or, more related to the S1s. If you order something described by the vendor in one way but when you receive it you find out the description is completely different from what you've received, what do we do here?

i dont want shit.. if i had bought SAG beans from GPS then yes I would want to be compensated for his lack of quality control. By all accounts GU puts out fire.. his testers have been shown to be quality and a pack of testers would be an awesome gesture.. The SAG beans he was selling as S1s turned out to be something different altogether.. and no for the life of me I cannot figure out why the hell he would want someone to pay out of THEIR pocket to send the SAG seeds (fake S1s) back in order to get a refund.. maybe since you're so much smarter than myself you can try and explain it to me in retard.

We've already gone over this before.. this isn't a case of a "shoe not fitting" this is a case of someone selling counterfeit products through the amazon marketplace.. and if you buy something thru amazon that's defective etc. they actually will have ups stop by and give you a little prepaid label to ship back.. once again, not a case of buyers remorse its a case of not getting what you paid for.. to paraphrase @dstroy if you cant figure why your analogy is faulty, I'm sorry.

I've unfortunately bought fake shit from ebay a couple times and its as easy as sending paypal the pics of the knockoffs and they give you your money back.. there is no returning the fake items.

Try with Amazon and find out. You will eat the cost regardless of who was at fault. But it is also hard to complain when they say we will send you a replacement of your choice at no cost, or full store credit.

You been doin anything different since you've been runnin GPS AO? or the crosses have just been that damn good? I have never been so interested 2 c what I'm gonna end up with since my first Goji beans I popped. From what Ive seen and heard on this thread I've got high hopes for the CnC and IBG that just popped their heads up last week. If its even a portion as good as my first couple gojis I will be extremely impressed.

you dont even have to place a phone call.. you can just chat with them thru the website and they will have a ups driver stop by your house and pick it back up.. The couple times Ive had to do it I think they may have even refunded me before they got the merch back.

I have and that has not been my experience. But, I'm also on Prime, which could be why.

But, you're skipping the part of the reply about them sending you the wrong thing or something that is inaccurately described. You have a legal leg to stand on in that scenario (not that you'd want to go that route). They may try to get you to pay for shipping back in such an instance but that's nothing more than them bluffing you or, perhaps, a clueless rep.

The case you are making is one in which you made the error and the vendor didn't do anything wrong. Sending an incorrect item or making an inaccurate representation is different.
