Greenpoint seeds!!

[Chunky Stool]

Yesterday, I believe. With GPS unwilling to combine shipping, some of you are looking at a hefty increase. I've never been more glad to be broke.

I saw it too, but deleted my post because I didn't want to rock the boat & get everyone pissed off.
But something definitely happened.
A 50% increase is hard to ignore...

used to be fun when growing weed was the job....... now it feels like delivering boxes to the post office is.

Customer behavior can be manipulated with price more than many people realize.
GU may simply be trying to discourage customers from buying one pack at a time.
When auctions were running at full speed, most of my purchases where single packs because I had to pull the trigger before someone snatched it out of my cart.
Snooze you lose" definitely applies in reverse auctions.
The best deal is when you load your cart in advance before pulling the trigger in the auction. Then you can apply your nuggets or coupon code before adding an auction item to your cart.
Trust me. I'm very detailed oriented -- especially when it comes to my money...

Has anyone else’s CannaVenture orders been stuck in pre-shipment? Already sent email. Just wondering.

Any way to tell Raindance and Copper Chem apart in veg?

One should have a marker that's says "copper" or something like that in the dirt near it. And the other "raindance or Rd".

yes

 

[chiqifella]

if it was me selling seeds I'd advertise them as shipped for free.

Is Greenpoint done selling FEM or CannaVenture for good?

 

[Tripping With Rocks]

I guess fwiw gu and crew deserve to get paid for packaging up an order and all that. But I also think you should be able to combine shipping for multiple purchases, isn't it easier to put 10 items in one box for one customer as opposed to 1 item in 1 box for 10 customers?

Oh, they'll combine your orders in one shipment.. you'll just get charged separate shipping for each order.

Yea and you’ll stop that within a week or you wouldn’t be shipping out on time. You know how aggravating it would be going to the post office to ship out one pack of seeds? Most customers just buy one pack just one!!!

yeah, if you didnt figure those costs into the price in the first place, you're right.
post office picks up packages for free this century,
his web should be linked to a shipping label/postage printing
and an automated pick up schedule.
shame if the pony express is not being used to its potential
in all of today's shipping practices.

Good point, but you'd have to have a minimum purchase amount with all the cheap and free nuggets packs that go out.

Sorry about the extra shipping charges they will go back down after April 1st when the new Gold Nugget system is set in place.
All sorts of new features as small as rewards for logging in once a day. To as big as offering Gold Status Tiers and free products. I've got some really cool/Big plans I'm working on getting right.
This also means the nuggets will devalue, but the Gold Tier status earning level is what you currently have if you have an account. So enjoy the test run!

$9 first class shipping is a shure fire way to discourage multiple pack purchases through auction. I get multiple packs through auction so I have to pay for each items shipping charge seperately -even though they will ultimately be shipped together when I paid for each one. ...ok, whatever. To think someone would find it acceptable to pay almost $9 on 3 or 4 seed packs to be shipped together is kinda dumb and I dont think I'll be buying anymore beans if this is what is to be expected.

if I was selling with cheap and free nuggets along with free shipping.

Three full time salaried employees and me (getting in the way). It's all thanks to you guys and gals!

Good luck with your Greenpoint crusade over in the land of the infadels.
Something tells me that you will soon be spending a lot more time at RIU.

You might possibly be correct on that. So far so good. Lol

 

[rikdabrick]

Dang, you guys are a really hard crowd to please a lot of you, haha! Why don't you just say you want Gu~ to literally give you everything for free and ship them for free. Stop dancing around the bush, jeeeze.

I have 38 packs currently from Greenpoint (was 41 before this round) and the most I've paid for a pack was $54 for Copper Chem, then $43 for something else and everything else has been under $40 per pack with auctions and sales and I've got several for under $20 with the cheapest being $12 for pack. And of course I've got several freebie packs with Gold Nuggets. If retail plus shipping is too expensive for you then just be patient. Gu~ has the best sales around. Or go somewhere else and get cheaper seeds. They're out there if you're on a budget. Will they be as good as Gu~'s stuff? Maybe, maybe not. But the guy has to make a living so if you feel like his sales and auctions and Gold Nuggets aren't a good enough deal with the shipping price then shop around, don't just hang around here bitching that you're not getting it all for free.

Just out of curiosity, by a show of "Ayes" how many socialist millennials do we have in this thread?

Well... On my side of opinion on this whole shipping ordeal, it has not set off any red flags for me yet. I am still pleased with doing business with him even with the increase in shipping costs, he still has the best deals around especially for the quality of his genetics and seed.

However I don't plan on doing much more ordering until after my harvest and at that time it honestly won't matter at all to me as my profits will over ride and exceed the issue. But by time I harvest, its gonna be nearing close to April when Gu stated the shipping would decrease again.

There are a couple strains that he has that I need in order to complete my entire collection of his offerings, which I will grab soon enough. And then there is the situation when a new release may present itself and the testers if I make the qualification for the drop... But I just brush it off, and walk away just as pleased as before ...
