I'm sorry, but we're not taking any cards from outside the UK right now.
Bank transfers are an option, but they're expensive.
Cash works, but make sure you send by either registered or trackable mail.
Bitcoins are probably the fastest & cheapest way to pay right now.

Most established American breeders do not feminized their seeds, unless they're making Autos.
I'd say the best American breeder to go with for feminized seeds is Humboldt.

I don't blame you on the bank transfers - crazy that they're that much.
I wish we could do cards for everyone, all the time, but the credit card companies are just as crazy & greedy as the banks with their transfers.
I'm guessing as soon as the US government lightens up on the cannabis industry, everything will get easier.
I would say cheaper too, but everyone's raising prices lately instead of dropping them.

In the UK, you can only cash UK money orders - the banks won't take a money order from the US or Canada.
Sorry.
If you decide to send cash, go to the post office & send it registered.
It will cost you about $17.
There are other trackable mail services, but that's the cheapest.
Bitcoins are another good option.
The fees are minimal and they usually result in an instant payment.
It takes some time to get them set up the first time, but not as long as waiting for cash to arrive.

It's not us, or the staff at Attitude, it's because it's against Visa/Mastercard's terms of service to work with cannabis-related companies.
Those rules are due to US federal laws.

Hello all. Just want to share my experience with gorilla seed bank so far. I, like most of you reading this thread, have done a lot of research on numerous seed banks and came to the conclusion that it's pretty much a toss of the coin when choosing. They all have good and bad reviews, most seem like impatient people while others have legitimate gripes. So anyway, I decided to go with Gorilla . They had some flavors I like and decent reviews and also they are active on RIU. I placed a small "test" order about $65 total w/stealth shipping. I sent payment by cash on January 30th by priority mail international *big mistake on my part* because once it gets into the UK, Parcelforce takes it, because of priority I guess, and they don't deliver to PO boxes so it bounced around with them for a week before they finally held it due to undeliverable address, I emailed gorilla and they responded quickly and instead of getting my payment sent back to me they were able to help me out with an alternative addresses. I was able to contact parcelforce through twitter with the new address and they were able to reschedule delivery. I also sent them an email before I tried twitter and their email response was they couldn't do anything and I had to call USPS, twitter all I did was ask if it was possible, sent them tracking # and new address and they got it taken care of within minutes. Payment was delivered today and my order is marked as paid. Just waiting for them to ship. So in short make sure you send cash by registered mail and not priority, you'll save about a weeks worth of time. So all in all so far I am happy with how things are running with my order. I was worried about sending cash to another country but all seems good so far. I will update again after I receive my order.

Aaaaannnnndddd we're back lol. Ok so I got my seeds on the 22nd. Shipping went smooth cruised right through customs no problem. When I opened the package I was sent Blue Dream instead of the Chemdawg, I also received OG kush a freebie Honeysuckle and a freebie Cinderella 99. I emailed them about the BD mixup instead of the Chemdawg, all they asked was that I send a pic of the wrong seeds, sent the pic and within half hour or so they replied with apologies and said they would be sending the Chemdawg out that day (23rd) and I can keep the BD. I put the seeds into jiffy pellets that night, except for the Cindy 99 it was already split open when I got it so I just chucked it, no big deal it was a freebie. Besides the mixup I am pleased with them so far. I will update again once the Chemdawg shows up and when the others pop through.
Good to see RIU back up and running

I don't work in the office, so I had nothing to do with the mixup - just saying that I like it a lot better than Chemdawg.
But, that's my personal opinion.
I'm kind of partial to Blue & Purple strains, and Blue Dream is way easier to trim than Chemdawg for me (bigger buds, fewer leaves), so that's always a win in my book too.

I have no problem with Blue Dream, I seen a couple grows on here with it and they looked awesome The Chemdawg was recommended to me by a friend, said it was pretty tasty, dense and will put you to sleep. lol I don't sleep for shit. After I get the dawg I'm going to place an order for some autos and the Purple Envy, that plant looks gorgeous. Do you guys price match? Because I did find the Purple Envy a few bucks less from another seed bank over in the UK but they didn't have the autos I was looking for and I don't like ordering from multiple places. Haha, I'm old fashioned, I find something I like and stick with it
. And as for the mixup, no worries, I'm probably one of the most patient people in the world lol, shit happens, you guys are making good on it and I got 3 BDs for free lol. Can't really complain about that

I don't sleep well either, so I get you on that. Chem's a nice strain - I just like the overall bud & leaf structure on Blue Dream better, but it does have a lot of Haze in it, so maybe not the best one for sleep.

Last update for first time purchase from Gorilla Seed Bank. Chemdawg arrived today safe and sound. I commend them on their prompt service in regards to the mixup. I will definitely use them again in the future. Good selection, good prices (they will price match) and great deals paying with cash or bitcoin. So from someone who has never ordered online before and was skeptical about sending cash I hope this helps ease your mind, at least a little lol, GSB is an honest legitimate site to use. Besides the free Cinderella 99 being no good/open, all but 1 blue dream popped doing 2 BD and OG in jiffy pellets and one BD and Honeysuckle in rapid rooters, one BD in pellet didn't pop. First one popped 2/27 and last one this morning. Still giving the last BD a little more time before I do a little excavation to see what's going on.

Tried using Gorilla seed bank, very sorry I did. I did exactly as was instructed for sending cash from U.S. Of course it did not arrive, I got an alert that the letter could not be delivered. Contacted their "customer service" and was told I sent it wrong. Which I did not, and even proved I did not. So now I am out the 40$ for sending the money there in the first place on top of a sour experience with that company. I HIGHLY recommend going elsewhere.

You paid $40 to send it there? Or your order was $40? If you paid $40 to send it there then it was sent wrong, priority instead of registered, I messed up and sent priority and is was about $40, registered is around $15. If sent priority they don't deliver to po boxes for some reason but registered they do. If it was your order that was $40 they will return the envelope back to you, just gotta wait a bit.
