    Default What makes you shop at a specific Seedbank / Seedshop?

    Evening THCTalk,

    What gives you the confidence to buy from a certain seedbank or seed shop?

    Could it be:-

    • Prices (Lowest prices, Discount codes)
    • Shipping (Free shipping, Speed)
    • Discreteness (Bank statements, Packaging)
    • Loyalty (You've only ever used a specific seedbank / have a good raport with them)
    • Customer Service (Quick to respond, Friendly, Able to sort issues quickly)
    • Promotions (Free seed offers, Specific promotions on specific dates - do you wait for a certain time of year to order seeds because of promotions?)
    • Choice of Product (Specific breeders, Exclusive seeds, Larger choices)
    • Reward Systems (Points that you can accumulate on an account for discounts and extra gifts)
    • Location (Local seedbanks)
    • Website Navigation (Clear and easy to navigate website)



    We'd be really keen to know, although we've been in the game for 25+ years there's always room for improvement!

    Have a lifted weekend

    I always use the same seed bank unless they don’t have what I want

    I use them because they are reliable and discreet. Never let me down so I stick with em

    For me, a good seedbank needs to offer this (in no particular order) ;

    • Good seed selection at a competitive price.
    • Multiple payment options - Bitcoin included with perhaps a reward/discount for using.
    • A good loyalty system to keep me returning and building points.
    • Good customer service which provides support via telephone & online chat.
    • Fast delivery and options for tracking.
    • Promotions always welcome.
    • Not share our private information with third party companies (or anyone for that matter).
    • Simple, clean, fast and easy to use website to browse seeds and information.

    Discreet shipping and packaging spend above a certain price and get freebies. And some banter and recommendations from the tele receptionist goes far in my book.

    One of the seed banks I use, is kind of hard to deal with, they always add more to the final bill than there was when you check out. Most people don't like shopping with them. The only reason I still do, they have two strains I like A lot that no one else has, so I just pay the extra amount, and get over it. lol

    Simple, if I actually receive my seeds.

    I've ordered from multiple seedbanks and have only ever received my seeds by once (and that was only one time)

    The country I live in has a very strict policy of importing seeds of any kind. I'm more than happy to purchase something to conceal them in and always leave instructions but my luck has not been that good.

    I've had much more luck with the generous people here on The Talk that send me some for winning contests or just out of their generosity.

    If Ali Bongo was able to conceal seeds in a proper fashion I would be more than happy to place an order. But after all my experiences I'm a bit hesitant.
