I made two orders from them. The first order was a pack of Grape Puff from Gage. I grew those out and to this day I'm not convinced that those seeds were actually what I ordered. Some of the worst crap I have ever grown.... and they smelled/tasted NOTHING like grape, so I could have been shafted on that one but I'll never know.

The second order was for a pack of Lucky Charms from Bodhi. I ordered them in November and never got them until March of the following year. He promised to send replacement seeds multiple times, and basically strung me along until I finally said fuck it and chalked it up as a loss. Went to the mailbox one day and there they were, postmarked November of 2013 and it was mid-March. Technically I got the seeds, but he lied to me for months prior to that so I figure it's not the type of place I will do business with again either way.

gotta say one of my best purchases was from highlife, rare darkness from RD. just my experience...

I don't doubt it. I never bothered calling them out on here or starting a thread over it. I DID eventually get the seeds, so I really can't bitch too much. I just didn't appreciate being lied to is all. Too many other seedbanks out there to roll the dice with them again

if they pulled a switch with those grape puff beans id be fucking pissed. it should be easy to compare your plants to some of the test journals. id be more surprised that they scammed you than if you just got mediocre genetics from the breeder.

My order went great, but from the dates that was back in 2012. If stowandgrow had trouble recently then I wouldn't mess with them.

I received complete order, but not before losing $250 cash "in the mail" b/c Highlife Seedbank doesn't tell you that the Address on his Site is only the main address to his mailbox service and you dont get his specific box number until you order through site...Jay did cut me 20% off my next order (which almost completely made up for the lost cash b/c large order) but do Beware of that issue if sending payment by mail... This specific experience gave rise to the Protocol: 1) Email/Call to ensure in stock and tell him you do not want replacements, 2) send Blank Money Order, 3) Overnight, 4) with Tracking, 5) with Correct Shipping Address on your overnight receipt, 6) Keep Receipts, 7) and Patiently Wait.

Update: US money order no longer accepted...

Further update: now they Do have a couple sentences telling you to inquire about mailing address before shipping And now they Only accept British Pounds as cash...Sooo, now that I m thinking bout it, probably it was 2 years ago when ordered...my experience could be dated...
