seedsman black friday special

yea takes alittle time they ship big orders to the USA 2 times a month , not only that but their up against the largest online ordering holiday and covid, they are good by me

Doesn't seedsman ship a ton of orders at once together, then split them up in the USA and ship to the final destination? That might be why some people get them quicker than others. They definitely do things differently than the other Euro seed banks but they've always been reliable for me.

Yes, I believe so.

I ordered at the tail end of BF special on Dec. 1.
Assuming that @kovidkough ordered on Nov. 22, and got it on Dec. 9, it took 17 days for his east coast delivery.
Then, perhaps some Gorilla Cookies Auto may magically appear in front of me on Dec. 19.

It really sucks having to wait 2wk to 4mo for a product that takes 4mo to prepare

I ordered the 23rd so close

OK new plan, I put in a tiny order on a domestic site for three nice seeds I wouldn't mind having around either. Now my chances of waiting around wasting time should be greatly reduced!

If there's a 40% chance that Seedsman takes too long to deliver (over 2.5wks), and a 30% chance that domestic Greybeardseeds takes over a week (as seems possible from glowing reddit reviews), then:
- Only buying from Seedsman = 40% chance of failure
- Buying both = 40% [when Seedsman fails] x 30% [when Grey also fails] = 12% chance of failure

If Grey's risk factor is increased to have a 40% of failure, then there is a 40% x 40% = 16% chance of failure.
If Seedsman were considered less risky and changed to 30% COF from original case, then it would be 30% x 30% = 9% chance of failure.

I like my chances much better, probably something like an improvement from 40% to 15%.

I've always received my order 100% of the time, patience.

Seedsman has now provided a domestic tracking code from mid-USA (step: shipping label created) for my Dec. 1 order.

only a matter of time now

Seedsman package is initially arrived at mid-US, expected delivery to west-US by Wed, Dec 16.
I will be pray at my plantless Vivosun altar for timely arrival and blessed crops.

I mixed up the tracking number for my order with an unrelated one lol. So actually I may be in for a wait..

Their email, sent minutes after order, doesn't really seem to jive with the shipping updates. Time to wait and see.
```
Your order has now been sent to the US as part of a larger batch. Once it reaches our US hub safely it will then be dispatched to you from there and you will be forwarded the USPS tracking code. It may appear longer to initially receive your tracking code but once you receive the tracking code your order should arrive in 3-5 days after that.
```

shipping label created and waiting item

I'm in a similar boat. I ordered Nov. 30. I got same email you got about Dec. 8. No update so far

I'm very surprised your is taking so long, I got no updates for 8 days and then all of the sudden it was on the way

Don't know. Maybe because I'm close to Chicago. It should be here between the 14the and 20th. No domestic tracking number yet

we must have been in the same batch shipment lol. Now that it's in the hands of USPS, get ready for the real wait! Hopefully our seeds don't fly off the side of the stagecoach.

My package is at customs now

Maybe your's too.

How you know it's in customs? Mine's been on 'origin post preparing shipment' since the 12th.
Customs for USPS based on some googling apparently is a giant mysterious variable in shipping time where things can sit for weeks depending on volume so no way to know how long it'll take.

I'm trying to figure out if I should just plant all the seeds from the domestic seedbank (exp. delivery the 19th), or leave a spot and wait for Seedsman seeds. Would it be ok to have two different autoflower plants total, one plant behind the other by 1-2 weeks? Am sick of spending $400 on 2oz of bud of questionable origin that averages out to medium-tier at best $$__

Do you have an email like this

yes
