Yeah he sent me an email yesterday saying my order will ship tomorrow. Definitely not buying from him again.
Oh, come on man. He's a small business that got kinda swamped. I doubt he'll miss your business but you might want to grow up a little about where to place your grudges.

Did you ever get your order. I'm still waiting for mine.
Nope. Dude emailed me a couple times one time he said he didn't realize it's international so he can't give me tracking number. A couple days ago he said give it one more week if it doesn't arrive he'll send another package. I have a feeling he never shipped anything to begin with.

Same here. Still nothing available on the site the last time I looked. Small business or not it's my last order. Good luck!

I just checked their website and still not one seed available. They must have really got swamped. I Know they have a good reputation but this is my first time doing business with them and I'm not impressed. Live and learn.

Yeah same here. I know something is up because I bought from him before and it took 2 weeks. My guess is he ran out and was still taking orders. His seed is good but definitely not worth waiting 2 months for. I'm ask for a refund if it's not delivered in a week.

I understand all of that. The problem is he has told me twice that my order has shipped now over a month ago. If they just come out and say we sold out and we will be able to fill your order on this date. Don't keep sending me emails say my item has shipped.

I ordered from JOTI and Vancouver Seed Bank the same day. Their shipping addresses for payment are the same for both places. My payment for both arrived the same day. Vancouver sent my seeds next day. I received them 10 days later. JOTI has sent me emails saying my order shipped 2 times now and over a month later nothing. I just wish they would tell the truth. I ordered from seedsman after joti and already received the seedsmans order. I will just chalk it up as a lose. If I receive my order or a refund I will post it because I believe if the issue is resolved we should update that to. Good luck All. Happy Growing.

Have they told you your order shipped?
Yeah he told me it's international so he doesn't have tracking. That was more than a month ago. Yesterday he told me it should've arrived so he's gonna send another. I told him just nevermind about my original order cuz obviously you don't have it. Just give me the new stuff.

are you in the states?
sure the federallies didn't get em at the border?
im gona order blue crush strains on may1 and ill let ya know how long it takes. im in ontario it usually takes 3-5 days shipping after i get the tracking number. I know they said they wanted to be ready for 420.but it wasnt happening so im sure they are busy/backlogged with orders. this is why breeders do drop days so they can only take as many orders as they can fill in a certain amount of time. i work in a factory. i understand that paying a bunch of people to pack orders is not profitable. when there is a huge wave of orders things get lost missed or forgot because the structure isnt strong enough to support all the business going through. im sure they are figuring out how to make this work. problem with legalization. small business gets big fast and cant keep up.
imagine you have 2 guys working to pack 50 orders a day
then all of a sudden its 90 a day then 150 then 300.... someone calls in sick/gets covid off for 2 weeks now you got 1 guy packing 300 orders a day. cant keep up. i get it

Don't sell what you don't have. Don't take more orders than you can handle. Problem solved. I believe people in the states get a letter if their seeds are confiscated. I don't know about anyone else but I was notified when the seeds I wanted were available again. I bought them 2 minutes after I received the email. That was February 8th. April 24th is not acceptable for any reason.

I agree with a lot of what you said. About seed banks doing drops so they only take orders for what they can fill in a certain amount of time. They also shouldn't sell stock they don't have. As for your other statements. They have been in business for 20 years they know what they are doing. The cheapest pack they sell is $60.00 times that by 300 orders a day $18000. Hire some help your doing great. By your order estimate they are making over $4 million a year. Not bad for a small business that can't fill an order in a timely manner. I Know they don't sell that much but if they're doing so well that they're not able to fill orders the they need to expand. I only ordered from them because they had a certain strain I wanted I've bought it elsewhere since . Are you from JOTI because you sure do push and defend them a lot?
