I'm not sure that should be your customer's concern, rather then receiving intact seeds that have been kept in appropriate environmental conditions. The choice of packaging form breeders goes a long ways towards making that happen. Versus say packaging your product like an Attitude freebie.
IMO Medical Marijuana Seeds has the best packaging out there that I have seen. They appear committed to the delivery of their genetics in a secure, controlled, and professional manner.

A Foam spacer. Its the shock dampening in the vial, but permits air to pass to the beads.

Just did a quick google translate and I believe its polyethylene foam. Did a quick google on polyethylene foam and found this
I know Bodhi puts his seeds in baggies, so to each their own. I did like the capsules rd seeds came in. Personally I would rather have the capsule with a label on it and no extra packaging then a baggie.

Would you prefer less customer feedback? This kind of post is what sets off the RD haters, and they really don't need any prodding.Lol. Its always something

They are trying to save themselves, and in turn customers money by changing the package. It also helps the seed banks because a large percentage of people prefer stealth shipping, so then the fancy packing is just $ going out the window. So half the people are going to be happy about the change (cheaper beans, easier to store and conceal, easier to repackage stealth) and some are going to be pissed and complain about any change no matter what it is...
So that is why I said it's always something. Because you can't please everybody. RD is a VERY small company still. You can count the people that officially work for them on one hand. So take that into account and the amount of people from all over the world and every other site calling, emailing, PMing, and posting questions and criticism in open forums that the few people have to deal with. All while having families and trying to build a brand new company's reputation.

All I said was don't compromise on packaging. Most industries understand this. In fact in many industries packaging is a huge % of total product cost. In any case, not many $100 items come in ziplocs, but whatever. Saving expense and maximizing profits? Awesome, you now have this customer's feedback into your planned execution. Try not to cry too hard about getting it, its only the tip anyway.
P.S. I was "defending" them on here well before you showed up guns ablaze yourself.

Do you not understand that the seeds will no longer cost $100? Which is one of the things that people have been here bitching about mostly. Like I said. You can't please everyone. The people who want cheaper seeds will be happy and the people that want better packaging will be upset. Who is more important to please? Everyone is a customer. Just grow the seeds out and don't worry about how they get to you. If you think they are too expensive, don't buy them, or find them somewhere else than a seedbank online that charges a huge premium. I know how much the seed banks pay for RD seeds, trust me they are making way more money off of you than any of the breeders supplying the stock.

I don't think anyone has ever complained about Bodhi selling his seeds for $70 for 11 that are in a small ziplock baggie... and he is pretty highly spoke of from the people I know that run his gear.. packaging while (nice to look at) is little concern when,alphakronik,Bodhi,Sannie,and probably a number of other respected breeders already ship in ziplock baggies.

I don't care about packaging or price. I just want my Doc's OG when they drop.

Well when we're talking about packaging I'm strictly referring to the use of a capsule. Not the printout with all the strain info and the other bs. I do not care at all for any of that stuff, as all it does is raise the price up of seeds. Capsules aren't expensive and provide protection to the seeds while they're in the mail. But if I want someone's seeds I will buy them regardless of packaging, capsule, or baggie. It's about the genetics which is why I bought the RD strains I have gotten so far. The convo about the foam was only conjecture and not trying to say how rd should distribute their beans.

When was the last time you heard a company telling you they are saving you money by using less protective packaging that's easier for their distributors? That's just not what the customer cares about. Customer also doesn't care about your distributor profit arrangement. Customers in general want a quality product with good information and support for the lowest price.
Its harder and harder to stand up for you guys with every customer disrespecting post made in the RD name. Cannabis is not magic with special rules of physics and agriculture OR product management. If you expect to operate in the legalized cannabis market, its time to think like a legalized mainstream business with all of its concerns and aspects.

Actually people (potential customers) were "bitching" about the lack of product information, references, and the horrible way they were being addressed by the owner. I think any mention of cost was just a poke in the eye.
Again, I wasn't one of those people. I was one of the supportive ones trying their genetics while they established themselves online. In fact, I had a nice PM exchange with Mrs.D. This was all before you showed up to the party with your bad self.

Sorry I showed up and ruined your party. I'm not gonna apologize for my personality. I signed up here to help my friends deal with some of the questions and such coming up on this site. They are very busy, family people. They don't have the kind of time to come answer everything. Mrs RD isn't a grower either, so she can't necessarily answer all questions in a quick fashion if it's something she has to ask moonshine about. So that is why I am here. I am a grower that is friends with them and I help them out any way I can. If you meet me, you'll realize I act like this because I'm confident and know what I'm talking about. Same reason you guys probably didn't like moonshine when he was posting here. Haters gonna hate.
