wisecalyx 870 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 @Stringy Pete Brad is the breeder of Bean Hoarder. I would assume that's why he was able to replace them as he did. His gear is legit for the price. Sometimes you have to do some pheno hunting but there are some really cool hybs in his collection. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misterdirt 11,445 Report post Posted April 13, 2018 HD has always been reliable for me, but they do say that if you don't get your seeds, tough luck. I was just lucky and always got them. There is no other seed seller/breeder like Sannie, who bends over backwards to make sure you get your seeds. At least that's my experience. PS: And regardless of the seed color, I've always had near 100% germ rates with all products from Sannie's shop. Even those Heri seeds that were about the size of a sesame seed. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santero 9,193 Report post Posted April 15, 2018 spw, bro ... that does not mean that the beans won't pop seed can be 100% ripe and have lost its sensitive coating without taking any effect on their germination-capabilities. somtimes (most times, actually) the beautiful tigermelon-patterns just slip off the beans while handling them (de-seeding ect) ... they usually need a few weeks of rest before handling, but not everybody does take the time do leave them rest as it is mostly/debateably a cosmetic feature. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sacred Plant Warrior 2,048 Report post Posted April 20, 2018 On 4/7/2018 at 3:34 AM, sannie said: I think you are mistaking with nice seeds and matured seeds, seeds can be mature but looking pale and without tiger print, every plant gives other seeds and not all of them will give baby water melons. Even some strains will not give big dark tigered seeds. The seeds should be judged after germing and growing. Quite pressent experience is that Herijuana seeds I just made are not looking as the water melon dark seeds but pop like hell and will give you healthy plants to grow, the Ouzbekistan from USC where the nicest seeds, big water melon brown with a nice print but have problems to get them above ground. If there would be problems while germing or growing it is very easy to contact me and we will find a solution. greetz sannie Thanks for your feed back sannie and i know your policy for replacements for bad germ rates etc. I was more moaning about aesthetics and the fact that I never have the luxury to grow out seeds to check germ rates of the stuff i have bought since i had to stop growing 9 yrs ago. That's just my circumstances and not your fault obviously. So, all i can go on are the seeds aesthetics. i have gotten what i would say are light crappy seeds that didn't do shit for me so that's my experience and why i say what i do. Again not your fault just my past experience. I have a pack of heri from little awhile back myself and remain hopefully as ever with all untested beans. meant no disrespect to you Sannie as i have recommended to others your gear in the shop. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kcr156 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) I also got letter in mail from Canada. I think there just taking our money and sending the letter. Oregon elite is official been ordering from there now Edited March 25, 2020 by santero if HD just takes money and does not send beans, then why would quebec customs bother ? nah, man ... hemp depot IS official too and reliable since almost 2 decades.

Lat45 19 Report post Posted July 2, 2020 We reship all the time. This year we reshipped at least 3 dozen packages. Everything goes out Expedited with Tracking so seeds should arrive in 7-10 days in the US and 15 days in the EU. 5 days in Canada, but for some strange reason, shipping is almost double to a destination in Canada (we're in Canada) then it is for us to ship to the US. 99.9% of the time, packages make their way to '"Your item has been processed through our sort facility in ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) at TIME on DATE."' and never comes out of it. Shit just gets lost or stolen by contract workers (I was told by an employee at jfk isc). We sell cheap, so re-shipping wipes out our profit, but we can still resend without losing money. Our customers always come back, so it's worth it. We can do this because we only sell strains we breed (borealseeds). Companies like HD are seed banks have to pay the breeders for the seeds they sell. Re-sipping for them costs them money and not many banks will reship if they lose money. If they do re-ship, it's regular mail and in the spring when money is rolling in for them. From June to December, they're more likely to not resend. Having said that, there are some who ALWAYS reship intercepted seeds. Just take a picture of the package/letter with the customs "green tape", or the letter from Canada Post and they should reship. It's just good business. Cheers and stay covid safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

santero 9,193 Report post Posted July 11, 2020 after understanding the actual reasons for people sometimes not getting their seeds from canadian vendors it makes clear that ordering from outside canada is a risk and not necessarily the shops fault if it doesn't work out. i feel bad for people that take a risk and get disappointed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
