I always say about
any bank ( especially one you never used before ) - start a small order. See what happens. No need to throw big dollars upfront.
Reading too many stories on growers raging about an order ( 200-300$ ) and not getting shit. I give every bank one or two chances - if they fuck up or ghost than i only out of a few dollars.
For Example : Nukeheads ( before i heard of multiple complaints ) ordered a small $30 Alaskan Thunderfuck order - All Bunk. So I Moved on.

was a large seed bank that carried thousands of strains - many popular breeders. Got good freebies and actual original blisterpacks. But now it has been closed or some crappy complaint loaded new company took over name. Too bad they were stellar.
Greenpoint ( dont ask lol ) got in on their old seed “ auctions “ scored some packs at reasonable prices. Ran some their gear - Hit and Miss … The Deputy / Tomahawk / Full Moon Fever and others . But after following some of the Gu Drama and Paypoint issues i again moved on. Left Barney’s and Cali Connection in my rear view too.
As ol dad used to say :
“ Just give them enough rope to hang themselves “.
I really like North Atlantic because of fast ship and they take my debit. ( chase doesn’t give a shit on purchase ) and it doesn’t reflect on my statements.
I live literally a few miles from Neptune Seedbank and called if i can place a “ pickup “ instead of ship. Last they told me was i could if i wanted. Looking at some mephisto mango smile

Bottom line … start small , see if the customer service is there and if your orders are consistent before going deep in purchase.
