Sour Patch Seed Bank Sucks..... allegedly

As of now i'm out alot of $$$$. Dude wont return my emails. I have been extremely patient and cordial (email him once a week, short and sweet)

Im sure there are many happy customers too, but only when your choice is in stock.

There are many IN DEMAND strains listed as available but are out of stock!!! Then you are forced to make a second choice. If you are only interested in first choice, you are shit out of luck.

This is all fine and dandy if you are interested in a few.... and are totally fine not receiving the hot item he has listed as available.

Long story short, he purposely advertises hot strains, only to sell you 2nd or 3rd choice.

I put "allegedly" in title, because who knows, he might finally respond and make things right as he has promised for weeks now.

I waited for weeks for much advertised special drop. Watching his site and oredered as soon as I saw available.
I made a substantial order, and asked in notes to confirm in stock, and to let me know asap if low inventory.
he responded "all good."

I sent payment priority 2 day with tracking, next morning. 2 days later shows delivered.

Im stoked!

8 days later receive, "Out of stock, I only had 3 packs, make 2nd choice!"

I mentioned my notes and his email and I would like a refund.

"All sales final, make second choice"


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Still listed as available on site. Allows you to complete checkout.

Checked out the site my self. Really wanted some dgv seeds. But they had little info on strain. At at $ 120 for 10 seeds. They better post up information.

So I passed. Well that's my experience.

Also didn't see anything about if seeds don't make it to your house?

Everything i read here is the same shit Im dealing with through Firestax..

Ordered In House genetics wifi x black cherry pie as it was out of stock everywhere else and the day prior to my order there was a 'big In House Genetics drop. Payment was obviously made and received..I waited a week with no tracking ..the first excuse "we're swamped with orders" I remained calm. Two weeks go by..i email for a simple update.." waiting for the stock to show". it said 9 were in stock..why are you taking orders for stock you dont even have yet? Been a month still nothing.

In the time Ive waited..NGR restocked In House genetics so i placed an order and its already on its way..

everyone ranting and raviing about firestax fast delivery probably live in the states? I seen on the Firestax forum someone dealing with the same issue to lol.

Got 2 orders from sour patch seed bank now. They aren't quick but they do have a lot of stuff other banks don't have. My first order was for the grandpa's breath. Second order I sent out 2ND week of october, received it middle of last week. Grabbed kayaskof koffee by pnw roots, cheese cake by mad scientist and raw glue and raw cookies by raw genetics.
All in all I am happy, doesn't have the added bonus most other stateside bake do of quick delivery but it's rare that I order seeds that I need like tomorrow.

Hope you all get it worked out.

Yeah I dont like how you have to send money in and just hope your stuff is still in stock or pick something you dont want as much. I saw a post on their IG about having two packs of Fruity Pebbles OG S1's left and it said "Who wants to try to get this sick pack in their garden first payment to hit my mailbox wins!" So the other people are just shit out of luck and have to pick something even though they were only trying to jump on the two packs you have left over? Fuck that shit. Their prices seem generally higher as well in some cases twice as much as NGR. I hear they are working on accepting CC payment maybe that will solve some of these issues.

Agreed... I won't use them after reading this..the ol' bait n switch.

I have used midweek song twice now.. You won't wait longer than 36 hours for an email response.. I ordered gorilla back jack as one of the strains... Dude sends me an email the next day saying he can

A. Refund my money on credit card
B. Substitute it with another strain( I did, I got kosher kush)

Delivery is swift as Herbie's- 6-8 days to Midwest.

someone tattled to him about these reports and he is calling us noob seed buyers who should have sent payment faster.

He told me stock was "all good" and i sent priority 2 day. He received payment with in 72 hours of order.

no cc options at the time

Im a seed hoarder and must have spent 10-15k in last 5 years.... And a box full in the fridge telling me Im pretty good at buying em.
