You know the transit time varies and I believe I know why... I along with a buddy of mine both received our recent orders within two weeks. I noticed that the sender's address was from Tulsa, Ok and their handle was "Shipping Manager".
I placed that order on the 2nd of June via Zelle. I received an email on the 3rd with a payment confirmation. Like yourself I received nothing after that. After more than a week of no updates I contacted them to inquire about the "In transit to local shipping depot" message that you were referring to. I soon received an email with a shipping notification stating that a shipping label had been created on the 11th of June, along with another on the 13th stating that it had been accepted by USPS. It was then delivered on the 15th of June.
I very recently placed another order on July 18th and I received an email on the 19th with an estimated delivery date of August 2nd-9th. In that email there was also a message which stated: Your order has now been sent to the US as part of a larger batch. Once it reaches our US hub safely it will then be dispatched to you from there and you will be forwarded the USPS tracking code. It may appear longer to initially receive your tracking code but once you receive the tracking code your order should arrive in 3-5 days after that.
My friend wanted to order from them, i convinced her not to as the problems are endless with seedsman, she did log in to her account though and now it's impossible to log her out...how can a site not have a log out button? lol. Seedsman was good, but something went wrong, and after they tried defrauding my credit card for thousands a month afer the bank blocked my transaction to them, was enough to run far and fast from this place! lol. Much better to order direct from the breeder!

I have always used seedsman.
And ussually without any issues.
Knowing what we buy is illegal in most countries makes it very difficult for them. With that considered they're Great. I have had a few seed packs that were duds. But I don't blame seedsman I just don't buy from that breeder unless needed. And to be fair. It was like 9 months later I told seedsman of the strains that didn't pop at all. And they reimbursed them in the way of loyalty points. Which I'm fine with considering they were under no obligation to refund.
I did however have a pain of a time trying to pay the last time. My bank won't allow there debit option. I used to use they're bank deposit option without problems. Since they've removed that as most banks aren't accepting international transfers without invoices. I now have to use Bitcoin. Man was that a pain. Made 4 orders until I got it right. And strains sold out and had to repick as it litterally took me 2 days to figure out how to safely use Bitcoin lmao. But everything that's went wrong for me they've been nothing but helpfull. Slow to respond but if you look at there Bitcoin wallet it's had over 200 Bitcoins through it. They are definitely in the middle of the scene

I went through the exact same thing... Paying for my seeds by way of Bitcoin was similar to performing surgery, only a tad bit more difficult, lol. Do yourself a favor next time and use Zelle! By utilizing Zelle Seedsman has incorporated a payment method that, albeit minus the perks of using Bitcoin, makes the process of ordering much more simple and convenient.

I wish that were the case, but my order (which took over a month) was just finalized a few weeks ago. Hopefully others will start to see 2 week deliveries on a regular basis - that's a reasonable amount of time. But of course, accurate tracking of the order would be nice, too.

You're darn right about accurate tracking... The problem is that until it reaches the US we get zero notifications of the shipping status... Obviously Seedsman has partnered with someone in the states and they now ship bulk/multiple orders to their "Hub" here in the US to be distributed from there. It's actually a very good idea and much more practical than shipping multiple orders to the US. But it would be GREAT if they could send out a group message to all who ordered with shipping details as it travels to the US. I mean why not, it's a bulk shipment and everyone who ordered at that particular time will all have the exact same tracking number. But instead they choose to pacify us with a message stating that our orders are "In transit to local shipping depot". If they were smart they would ship big bulk shipments of their most popular seeds to their Hub so that when we order they can come straight to us from the US because once they hit stateside it only takes 2-3 days after that to arrive, which brings up another subject...
I noticed that a couple of orders back there was no option to purchase their "stealth shipping". Against my better judgement I placed an order and to my surprise the seeds arrived quickly and in their original breeder's packaging no doubt. I usually pay for stealth shipping just in case the seeds get seized but I never pay the ridiculous price to keep the breeder's packaging even though I'd prefer to keep the original packaging. But knowing that the seeds are coming to me straight from the US there really isn't a need to pay for that option as the chances of a seizure are extremely low. Besides, I hate the thought of them taking my seeds out of the original packaging because I always worry that they'll make a mistake and mislabel one of my seeds. I don't want to wonder why my purple indica plant remained green, smells like lemons, and is fifteen feet tall, lol.

I had an issue with a very recent order from Seedsman BUT I must acknowledge that it was a mishap on the breeder's end and not an issue with Seedsman directly. I purchased a couple 6-pack fems and a single 12-pack regs from Holy Smoke seeds and I intentionally paid extra in order to keep the breeder's packaging intact. I did that for the added security of knowing that nothing was accidentally mislabeled as these seeds were expensive at $83 per pack. If you're not already familiar with holy smoke seed's packaging practices they typically package feminized seeds in packs of 6 and regular seeds in packs of 12. I ordered two packs of fems (Strawberry Stardawg & Strawberry Bubba Diesel) and one pack of regs (OG Dawg Stomper).
The problem arose when I opened the 12-pack of factory sealed OG Dawg Stomper regs... There were only 6 seeds in the frickin vial! Being that it's common practice for holy smoke seeds to package their fems in packs of six, common sense told me that they were most likely the wrong seeds as opposed to being the correct seeds with only an incorrect amount... After contacting Seedsman of course they agreed to rectify the situation although they weren't directly at fault and that's cool but boy does it screw up my plans as I now have to wait for the correct seeds to arrive before germinating the others. On the bright side though I now have a free 6-pack of mystery seeds that are guaranteed to be of excellent quality and are most likely feminized. I already popped two out of pure curiosity :0)

NL Seedsman & Og Kush ordered. Shipping: 10 / 10
Seeds: received
Seeds germination & growing: I will never be ordering from them again. I feel like this is the appropriate place and time to say absolutely and completely fuck you Seedsman. So fuckin frustrating.
Results: no germination rates, Small immature seeds. Replacements sent, same story again. The one that did survive is a male. Thanks Seedsman for a great growing 2019 season!
Replacements sent again. We will see and update if anything happens, at this point though just nope!
Customer service: 7/10

I've grown
Mama Mia - fire, best seller
Northern soul - I grew this one larfy so I didn't sell I just have a few jars lol
CBD cream and cheese - the only strain I have out of 5 that is sticky after dry and cure, idk why but it is so. People love it but don't wanna buy it because it's "CBD" and "doesn't get you high" even though it's a 1:1 ratio 18-23 % CBD and thc
I did have problems with the CBD plant though, on clones and the mother same thing, I think it's nute sensitive. I fed 5 strains same mix, all cbd leaf tips died and slowly moved to stems. Super slow, but very crispy.
I ordered my seeds on Aug 5 2019 for almost $200 I waited for 2 weeks no emails on weather they shipped my package I emailed Issy in seedman customer service she said wait for 25 days as this is ridiculous waiting time for a seed company I ordered seeds from Australia and it was in my mailbox in 14 days and seedman takes 25 days plus if u want tracked shipment that's an extra $15 do ridiculous. I never recieved my order and they never respond to 5 emails I send them they are a scam I expect a seed company when u spend $200 to provide free tracked stealth shipment but they are a big disappointment never will buy anything from them ever.
