Gorilla seedbank review

[kwikness]

Update: I got my order today! I had a few problems with my order, but Sherry compensated me for the issues. I was also pleasantly surprised to see some unexpected DJ's Gold from DNA Genetics included in my order.

I'll stick with Gorilla for my next order.

 

[GorillaSeedBank]

Glad they got there & you're happy with your choices.

Thanks for being good to work with!

Does anyone know how long it normally takes Gorilla to get their orders on the way once payment is received, and how often do they pick up Western Union payments? Thanks in advance to anyone in the know

We try to ship out within 3 business days, unless there's a major stock issue.
We're in the process of changing our shipping procedures so we know about problems earlier, so we're hoping that helps.

They go to check on Western Union daily - or they're supposed to.
However, some of our pickup people have been flagged by name at WU & they're doing some automatic refunds for people - WU not us.
I can't recommend it today - next week might be different. Of course, it's up to you.

Bitcoins are good, bank transfers are too expensive IMO, cash works if you do registered mail.

That's the most expensive bank transfer I've ever heard of.
It's usually $40-50 - which is still very high.

Yea, I've already placed 2 orders going the Western Union route... I got an email for the first one saying that they've received that money, but I haven't heard anything about the 2nd one though. That's why I was wondering how quickly they ship out the beans, and how often they check Western Union.

PM me your order number so we can take a look & see what's going on.

If the first one hasn't shipped yet, send me that one too.

Ok, let me figure out how to pm you.

Evidently I'm an idiot Sherry... I'm not seeing a place to pm you.

Let me PM you - it's a little tricky to find when you're new.

Maybe everyone at customs took off for the summer & monkeys are running the joint?

Sherry

Hey! I resent that

Purchased about 500$ worth of seeds, did the bitcoin thing which gave me a serious discount.. down to 400 and some change.

Shipment 1 hits Chicago (Aprox. 4 weeks to door step) - DVD Method - Customs tears it apart and sends me the DVD's.
I spoke with some chill dudes at Gorilla and let them know, sent pics, offered to compensate their loss or split the difference..
(b/c hey I'm a fair guy and we both are gambling right?)

Shipment 2 hits Chicago (Aprox 2.5 weeks to door step) - DVD Method plus a few extra things (i'm not mentioning what) - Customs tears it apart and I get a few new DVD's.
So I'm in the same boat again, this time trying a different address in another state that I know doesn't hit Chicago. Of course I am willing to pay extra $ because I enjoy good customer service and live in the real world. I was supposed to hear back last Monday, I'll try to reach back out next week and get a status update.

I can say that these guys are cool when you can get hold of them, although you do need to reach out a bit and engage them. I understand Gorilla can't just reship forever until the package gets through.

I did have a thought though... no one watches DVD's anymore. Shipping them first class over night or whatever internationally seems suspicious. Maybe an alternative method? I'm pretty sure they know what to look for right now 7-18-2015.

Guys, only order like 5 seeds. Track your shipment; If it's moving through Chicago DO NOT purchase large amounts. Just do very small amounts to minimize your risk.

And U.S. Customs, I must say you're doing a great job at pissing me off. Thanks.
