    For me, it's whether or not I can use a credit card and will they send me the seed package. I think I'm probably done ordering seeds from overseas now that everybody is going so stealth that I can't even find my seeds sometimes in the package once they arrive. And I really miss the damn packaging.

    • 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.

    I use them because they are reliable and discreet. Never let me down so I stick with em
    Makes sense! I think there a lot of retailers about who 'let people down' from what I've heard, so great that you've found one that suits you.

    Yup, that is for sure a HUGE one. unfortunately banks just don't want to deal with businesses that sell cannabis seeds, we've got a decent card processor at the moment but we're always looking for the best one possible.

    PayPal have a huge issue with our industry, if you find a seed retailer accepting PayPal payments (and advertise it openly and publically) the option sadly won't be there for very long, they hate it!

    Appreciate your input Wags!

    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.
    Makes sense. We have a great success rate sending seeds outside of the UK because of our own stealth methods (that we won't share publicly but if you're interested you can always email us [email protected]), our packages very very rarely get pulled. We also take specific instruction too. We've had customers order items online and get the items delivered to our shop so that we can put the seeds inside and forward it to the customers real address; not an issue at all here.

    Could understand why you'd be hesitant! There are a lot of companies out there looking to make a quick buck, feel free to send us an email for some re-assurance if you do decide to shop with us Riot

    Appreciate the reply.

    Ryan

    Yup, I think because its becoming harder to pay with cards for seeds (and very few seedbanks offer card payments) payment method seems to be the most common answer in this thread. We currently have a card processor for worldwide payments but we're always looking for a better one.

    With our stealth shipping method you wouldn't have that problem, and 90% of our breeder packs fit in the package without having to tear or bend them. If a pack won't fit without being split or bent you'd just need to leave a comment 'please don't bend or split breeder packs' and we'd get in contact if this wasn't possible A lot of the fun in buying seeds is in collecting the packs IMO, and we recognise that.
