Quoted directly from the shipping policy.warning of long delays,
How many people do you employ? Is that business your main source of employment or a side business? Do you run a business where plumbing problems like @Bad Dawg mentioned the other day would impact your business? If the answers to these questions are different than how BD would answer, your business is completely different than GLG and you need not try to compare.I am a business owner too, and I just would never operate like this. Period. Even if there was a death in my family, the show would go on!!!
There’s no such thing as a “cart hold” on GLG...or any seed bank I’ve used. This isn’t Ticketmaster where you get 10-15 minutes on a countdown timer to complete the transaction. Putting it in the cart and checking out ASAP is the only way to guarantee you get what you want. GLG allows combining orders/payments to only pay one shipping fee. Just include a note along with your single payment for all orders.How can I have something in my basket but then moments later it is gone and sold out? Surely once I put something in my basket it is no longer 'on the shelf' for somebody else to take? I've read quite a few other people who this happened to with that sunshine kush.
Thanks for clarifying, I'll have to be quicker next time.There’s no such thing as a “cart hold” on GLG...or any seed bank I’ve used.

Yes, actually, I am the sole owner /operator of my business, and i have been in this business for over 30 years. Have you?? Yes, I DO run a business where plumbing problems impact my business....Greatly!! I'm in the real estate / rental business, so I have plumbing issues and electrical issues arise constantly. I just had one yesterday, and I took care of it immediately. It was the last thing I wanted to do as it was close to zero Fahrenheit, but my tenants safety depended on it. I have a LOT of people who rely on me every day! And I deal with college kid rentals who wait til 9pm to tell you their sewer is clogged. Trust me, I know all about plumbing problems!!!!How many people do you employ? Is that business your main source of employment or a side business?

GLG is a small business. Until just a couple months ago it was literally BD and his wife running the show—as a side gig to their main jobs. He is not Amazon. Just because a shipping label is created doesn’t mean your order is picked, packed, verified, or shipped. You have no idea where your order is in the stack of pick lists and shipping labels that he’s working to process through.
I have no vested interest in defending GLG. I don’t get special treatment or any more freebies than anyone else in their orders. He just doesn’t deserve to get the raw treatment he gets in here from every whiny dude who has 0 patience and thinks GLG is out to screw everyone.
Yeah. I read some of your other posts. You’re definitely an expert in everything. Good luck in your future growing efforts.Yes, actually, I am the sole owner /operator of my business, and i have been in this business for over 30 years. Have you??

If I can't take care of it myself, I hire some help, because my customers are important to me.
I'm not sure why you guys are so defensive. I KNOW just because a shipping label has been created, it doesn't mean squat. But when a letter comes out days AFTER the label was created from the seller, saying IT HAS BEEN MAILED, then yes, I expect it to be mailed that day or the next! I also use to be an EBay power seller, so I know exactly how it all works. I have been in sales my entire life, and owned many small businesses. I would never dream of treating customers this way....or I would be out of business pretty quick. But I guess not in the seed business!!
Nothing I have said is mean or spiteful. I'm not sure what was "raw treatment" on my part...I have been nothing but honest, patient, and even supportive. I never for a second implied he was out to screw anyone, intentionally, but merely offering some advice to Bad Dawg...Put up a notice on your website that you are behind a few weeks, so others like me who ARE in a hurry to get some fresh beans to go elsewhere ATM.
Oh please, I have definitely said here that even after 20 years of growing I still have a lot to learn....and have even stated I am far from an expert, so I'm not sure why you have a bug up your ass! I have tried to help out a few newbies, as others have tried to help me. Isn't that what this site is for?Yeah. I read some of your other posts. You’re definitely an expert in everything. Good luck in your future growing efforts.
It would be a VERY long thread and it would be very boring because of all the repetition.Maybe you should add a subtitle to the thread saying"please only post positive experiences with GLG". It would be a LOT smaller of a thread!
This is from their form letter...And then after your order has been processed you will receive another email with your tracking number, confirming your package has been shipped.And why send out a letter saying it has been shipped, then 4 days later it still has not been shipped?
Hey, it is what it is! Most of you seem fine with waiting however long it takes from these guys. Yes I said they have have that disclaimer saying it could take longer, but as you said, they ALWAYS have promos going on!
It also says "most orders shipped in 3 business days" I take that to mean if busy it might take 4-5 days, maybe 6...NOT 10+ and counting days.
I actually wrote here defending them last week, but enough is enough already!! Just trying to spare others the long unexpected wait, if they are needing seeds timely!
And I did try and contact them both via email and their website before posting here. Zero response!
No one's yelling at the feds, are they? They sure know how to get business done! LMFAOProbably unrelated, but USPS also seems to be running super slow (maybe related to V day?), I keep checking tracking on a package I sent, and it's 3 days beyond the projected delivery date... still not there.
I just ordered some SSDD.................is that a mistake or did you get a re-stock?Just Dropped - 13 New Bodhi Strains
