I've waited a while to post this so that I knew for myself that I wasnt exadurating in anger and frustration.

Thread Title: Vancouver Island Seed Co.

Selection: Alright I guess...

Price: 6 Meh...Concidering they recommend a cheaper strain (half the price) of "F'king Incredible" not the worst though...

Service: 0, What service? I sent them $155 CASH $140 for "F'n Incredible" seeds and $15 for rush shipping, its been 32 days. Emailed 2 weeks ago asking what I need to send them to verify I am who I say I am (I sent f'n CASH) No reply. Thanks

Stealth Rating: 11 out of 10, they dont send them, so no body will ever know.

Would you order from the same bank again: Ahahaha hell no, I'll fly to buy seeds in person. And not from VISC

Other Comments: I hope a rep visits this site and replys. Given their .000 average thats unlikely. If you like throwing away money, then by all means. First and last time ordering through mail. I even sent (1) $100 bill, (1) $50 bill, and (1) $5 dollar bill to make it easy. What A-holes.

Thanks for making this my 4-20 post, High Times wasted their time writing articles glorifying you

that's really too bad. I have seriously been contemplating using them for a while and your the first one I have actually heard of ordering from them. Hope it all works out for you.

That's exactly what I found out about the Canadian Seed Banks, i.e. they rarely deliver, customer service sucks and they blame everyone but themselves. The history is long: Mark Emery, British Columbia Seed Bank and most of the others: they hate americans and will steal your money rather then send you any seeds. Sannie is the only way these days......

Doon't trash all Canadian seed sellers. HempDepot is one of the best, highly ethical, but a little pricey. PeakseedsBC is all around great, my favourite. Private breeders so not a lot of selection but I have never been disappointed with any of my purchases from them.

I feel kind of stupid because the lady asked "you're going to send cash....in the mail?" Of course I gave her a "yeah why not?" Seriously though I would be the first person to post on here if I ever got them. The most I felt I could do is A) Tell you guys and B) Hope word of mouth spreads. I dont post here often because I know people in real life that post on here and theyre the type that thinks growing is a status symbol and theyre so badass for doing it i.e. the first people to talk when theyre arrested. So I will not post pictures of my op, but I've been here for 2 years. Tell people about this post. Dont let me make up your mind for you, BUT learn from my mistake

DONT ORDER/SUPPORT VANCOUVER ISLAND SEED CO.

Like I said I F'KING HOPE its just taking too long........yeah right. Wishful thinking is just that. Thinking.

yeah I'd always be nervous as hell sending cash. You have NO connection whatsoever to the store. Mail order works...but you got to read about the seed bank. Always read about the seed bank first. Attitude ships. Gypsy Nirvana SeedBoutique ships. Those two I am POSITIVE of. Am giving Speedy Seeds a try now.

They have their "Scam Alerts" on their site pointing out other seedbanks as scams yet they say they only accept
"cash or money orders left blank" via the mail.....

Seems like they are the scam and are trying to scare people into buying from them instead.

It just sucks, I was willing to spend that much...I probably will order again, thanks for the suggestions. This time I'll definently do two things different 1) Not tell the lady LOL 2)RESEARCH! Dude in our "sub"culture (I hesitate writing the "sub") whats a better source than High Times? Am I mistaken? Two things I've noticed more and more theyre posting pictures of WAYYY over nut'ed plants with curled deformed leaves with more than obvious signs of toxic-salt build up and now secondly, this. Whats society coming to when the "counter-culture" leaders start slacking.....

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions ^^^
