Hello all,
Just got back into growing after a 20 year absence and wanted to share my experience with 3 seed banks.
SeedsPlug.com
GreenGrassSeeds.com
NorthAtlanticSeed.com
- All 3 banks accepted credit card payments. A couple of the seedbanks I had to text to let them know I had an order submitted, then they sent me an invoice via email/text and I used a credit card to pay.
- I was invoiced by SeedsPlug on 6-9, and invoiced by the other two on 6/9. Invoices were paid immediately.
- Within a day or two, I received shipping confirmation emails. All 3 banks used USPS First Class mail which was trackable.
- All seeds arrived on 6-15 (less than a week), well packaged, with no indication of what was inside.
- Freebies: GreenGrassSeed sent me 6 seeds instead of 5 seeds in each of their Twisted Tree breeder packs plus 1 seed of an strain I did not order.
No free seeds from SeedsPlug or NorthAtlanticSeed.
- I did get stickers and a beer cozy which all went in the trash so I don't remember which banks sent which swag.
My only complaint is with SeedsPlug who did not send seeds in breeder packs. blaming it on Covid - a disappointment considering they were the most expensive of the three banks. Did I get ripped off? We'll see.
In all, there are many more places to buy seeds than when I last purchased in 1999, and was pleased to see so many US based companies. I would definitely order from GreenGrassSeeds and NorthAtlanticSeed again.
