damn man the problem with seeds companys is its just like buying drugs.
i cant go tell the police i got 3 ounces of bud stolen at gun point.
That is sort of why the Mafia came into existence. They were the police for guys that couldn’t go to the police when they got ripped off or whatever.
Its not like we can form a Weed Mafia or anything, tokers are to laid back to do more than think up funny things that might happen if such a thing existed. About the most forceful thing that might be done is if enough people said they would boycott some seedbank, or possibly just some breeder’s line regardless of seedbank ….. but when one of us wants something we’ll just go ahead and purchase it anyway …. so that pretty much means bean purchasers are at least to some degree at the mercy of seedbanks …. but only to a degree.
I really do not know what percentage of breeders, possibly 100% of them now, stand behind their product and if a seedbank customer receives nonviable beans, and usually some simple policy/steps need be taken, the seedbank will replace them and then recoup it from the breeder.
I know at one time not all breeders would do that and I believe not always for all seedbanks, as in they helped their main sellers out more. Possibly it is standard procedure now and possibly fewer do it, but I rather doubt that to be the case, but that is why it is not unusual for a seedbank to work with a customer who received nonviable beans as long as the customer is cool and the gang about their approach.
Often the breeder can be behind the seedbank so they have nothing to lose by trying to make a customer happy so about the only reasons too not make a customer happy is if in that case a breeder does not stand behind the beans, which then the smart seedbank would if not make things totally right at least do something close, or if the customer starts out their complaint with a string of expletives that would make a drunk Marine blush and they just figure they really do not want any sort of contact with that person, now or in the future, so they just blow them off.
That is just a general, and broad, comment about seedbanks and not any one in particular. I think every seedbank I have ever known of has been guilty of doing it at one time or another with such a customer.
