well said coppershot. my whole intent of this thread was tread carefully.

Give me a call brother. Written word never really is recieved the way it was intended. So much room for misinterpretation as there is no tone of voice or body language to show you true feeling or emotion. I would use emoticons to display but the conversation would seem strange or as if it were between High school girl. Lol anyways holler at me bro. I really do commend what you were going for here with this post. I see your true intentions. I'm glad to have joined and got this whole deal ironed out but am still concerned about the people who read only part of this thread and take away only the negative and argueing.

Good call sour patch , things get out of hand fast here and people lose biz , others gain biz, vice Versa , ive seen it all.....but that's the way to iron it out and make velvet Elvis's buying experience right,..as u know one happy customer review leads to 15 new orders...

I do my best brother. I am only 1 man doing this all solo. I live by a simple rule now that I have had a few awakening moments and had time to digest it really.

I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone I come in contact with in some small way if at all possible.

This is due to some events that I stated in an early post caused me to think about everything and I didn't change much but was much more about my own personal as I didn't have much. I like the new me better. I'm happy all the time and try to spread that happiness around as much as I can.

I too want to stop not only seedy seed banks but all the dirt bags that have found a home like a parasite on this community that I love so much. This is my love, my life and thee only thing I know where I fit in. Sour Patch is my life, my baby and I want to nurture it and watch it grow.

Much love to everyone. Thank you to the loyal customers that stood up for me when I was unaware of this thread and for bringing it to my attention.

I hope I did not offend anyone as that was truly not my intention at all.

I'm trying to quote but it's not working?

I was asked by sour patch to give them a chance and I won't be disappointed. Didn't come at me all defensive acting like an ass so I totally respect that.

The biggest thing that would change my mind would be updating as things become "out of stock". It's a total buzzkill opening the mail and getting your 3rd choice of seeds. :/

 

[Bob Zmuda]

Fwiw though, I copped 10+ packs of ocean grown from another source and they arrived in 3 days.

With soooooooooooo many banks out there these days it's really a consumers market.

Seedbank A has a dickhead for a rep....... Move to Seedbank B-Z. Simple.

My first actual order at a US seedbak was actually from sourpatch, def i love thre selections better than any US seedbanks, im also glad that ive read these thread before i purchase from sourpatch, again which is why i called to confirm if stock is available, since these was the problem in the first place, i understand how @Velvet Elvis feel. We are addicted in buying seeds, so whenever we ordered something we want what we have ordered. I once waited a pre-order for 2 months for a dankanomics gears but i know that items was not yet available. So far all seedbanks has done me good and received my seeds. Jay from sourpatch and csbseeds were one of th few that doesnt take creditcard but makes ordering simple via cash payment/paypal, international orders, since they are patient answering ur calls and emails
Then i tried TDT, CSBSEEDS AND GREENLINE, Tdt was the easiest place to get ur seeds since they offer credit card and gives out tracking number. (But they dont shipp worldwide anymore), hence I would love to see @sourpatch step up the game. Since there are times im just browsing not knowing im already pulling out my credit card. And i would love to get a tracking number because im on the other side of continent from most of you.
but im glad that everybody got there seeds, more respect to sourpatch for the sincere words.

Wow another whiney customer who thinks "the customer is always right" means the seller has to be able to move the earth for their every need? Give me a break. @Velvet Elvis

i do not get an email saying OUT OF STOCK make alternative choice. all sales final!

I most definately do take credit cards and offer tracking numbers as well as shipping worldwide. I only take credit card orders over the phone. No website or paper trail linked to my site with customer card numbers and details.

Hey @Velvet Elvis out of curiosity how much did that pack of alin rift cost? I can't remember what they retailed for and I can't find them anywhere just to even to get a price quote. Reason I am asking is kasper of Greenlife is selling his seed stash and I snagged a pack of alien rift from him. Dude has a lot of strains for sale right now.

from ocean growns new seller it is 100, from sour patch 150.

By new seller you mean lumberjackseedm

I did notice, going through the sour patch site, some of the more desirably strains he has are marked up 50-80% more than other us seedbanks. I was trying to grab a pack of ihg crystal cookies and sour patch was the only one with them in stock, but they still
Have them at $150 when they were $75-80 everywhere. Actually their whole ihg line is marked up a lot it seems. The $50 packs are at $105 there. The $75-80 are $150. The $250 strains are $300.

I mean I'm cool with a $10 difference, but when I can buy two packs elsewhere from the same seed company for the same price as one from the first, I'd rather have 20 seeds than 10, given the same breeder.

I guess it's actually over 100% markup on some it seems.

Interesting....I was looking at sour patch the other day and they seemed to have fairly comparable prices...I didn't look at the inhouse gear tho

From what I saw most of their gear is competitive, with the exception of the highest demand strains and strains that were only(listed) in stock at sour patch.

I was literally looking for a specific pack and he was the only one with that strain in stock. Ended up buying a pack of lemon crippler and hso bubbas gift for $20 less than I would've gotten the one pack of double priced crystal cookies. Plus free shipping, which I think sp is an additional fee, I may be wrong though. As I said, was dropping money on seeds that day, sp would have my money right now if the pack I was looking for wasn't double the price there. I think the dvg i was looking at there was a similar story, but that may have been another site and I don't want to add bad info so you'd have to look into that one lol, I know for a fact the ihg gear is way marked up.
