I ordered and paid for my seeds on Dec. 9 and when my order arrived it was incorrect.... No big deal it happens, I thought, so I reached out to this "company" via phone and email and the exact response I got after explaining the situation was "send screenshot". Pretty unprofessional but whatever, I was focused on my purchase instead of critiquing their customer service department. So I sent another email assuming they wanted a SC of my order which I sent them. I get no response and then 2 days later I decide to call them and they told me to send the incorrect seeds back priority shipping w/ a tracking # and as soon as they got confirmation that it was on the way they would refund me the return shipping cost and send the correct seeds I had purchased out to me. Today is Christmas Eve and I haven't gotten an email response, a return phone call, NOTHING! I've reached out to them numerous times and they have just plain ignored my voice mails and emails. Super disappointed that someone would just purpously disappear after I've spent hundreds of dollars with their company. For those of you reading this y'all can take it for what it's worth but I wanted to warn anyone thinking about doing business with this company (OES) that they have been super unprofessional and now I'm out money and a Christmas present for a friend. Buyers BEWARE!
Any update Gulf?

I’ve never got freebies from Great Lakes and I spent $250 on a pack of Chaos.
That's strange to me. I've gotten Bodhi gear on all orders from GLG, once was buy 2 get 1, another was buy 1 get 1..breeders offer I'm sure. Also included though, each time, was two freebie packs of Bad Dawg Genetics gear, plus countless stickers, and a can wrap.

Side note, that's a bunch of cheddar for beans!

My girlfriend ended up handling it because I was so frustrated. Couldn't get a refund because their CC machine was offline but eventually I received the seeds I ordered. Talk about a headache :/
Well I guess at least you finally got your order and can call it done. Not scammed just slow shipping and poor customer service.

I had similar experiences. They sent the wrong pack, had to return pack with tracking to get the right one and it toon forever. Another pack that I never received, took forever to get ahold of them so I gave up. Havent used them since.

The one time I got the wrong genetics (right breeder wrong strains), they sent out the right ones along with a shitload of freebies, no questions asked, no issues, no return, no problems..... But if they arent taking CC anymore then I wont be ordering with them again.....

Been trying to complete an order with OES. They were my go to bank. Now they no longer take CC payments. Will not order without CC payment option ever again. Will find another bank now, oh well.
This is what their site says about CC payment now:

Credit Card Payments (Domestic and INTERNATIONAL) A 4.8% processing fee will be accessed if you use this method.

Not a big deal.

Ive read through all of this read and grant it it was posted in 2019

2023 Review- I ordered from Oregon Elite Seeds about 10 days ago, i reached out via phone call and email not an answer. Fast Forward to today I left a voicemail again, about 10 minutes later the same number on their website calls me. After a bit of talking (it was the owner) he explained to me he is a one man show company. Nobody else works for him just himself. He has 5 kids and his mom passed away back in December. During the call we switched to face time he showed me my package he was about to put in the mail and provided the tracking number. For anyone that reads this post in 2023 specifically my comment. Go with Oregon Elite Seeds, the guy is a hard worker. He tells people all the time he tries to get his orders out within 10-14 days considering he is a one man show. For anyone in these comments saying it is a scam it is not a scam. I wasn't able to catch his name unfortunately. The tracking he provided my shipment should be here in 3 days. He also stated that he ALWAYS recommends customers to call/email after 72 hours of placing the order.

Final Thoughts- Support Local Businesses & along with that Support Oregon Elite Seeds, The owner is legit, and overall good products. If your seeds have issues contact the breeder that the seeds came from.

Think I'll stick with DC Seed Exchange. He's a small company too but gets orders out in 24 hours and to my door in 3-5 days. Not trashing Oregon Elite Seeds but there's better options out there in my opinion.
Totally understandable. Im new to the seed game and my buddies that grow for dispensaries in New Jersey Recommended Oregon Elite Seeds & I haven't had a problem since.

All preference so I get it !

And I will continue using OES, thanks for your input :)
Hopefully OES doesn't do to you what he's done to others and just switch your requested seed packs out for new ones because he lists packs for sale that he doesn't actually have sometimes. You're lucky you got a response. I've sent many emails and calls all with zero response. I've had good deals and experiences with his orders but also bad ones.

I placed an order the end of March. Sent cash tracked and they had it forwarded to (multiple) another address, the phone number they list is for an 11 year old boy who is sick of getting his phone blasted by people looking for info on they’re orders. I sent several emails without any response. I get the whole one man operation thing but this type of over the top unprofessional behavior is unacceptable to me.
