I ordered on 4/20. My orders not here, attitude consistently has orders to me in business 8 days. Attitude is 2x the distance Archive is from me... that and there's this giant ocean in the way. Personally I don't care how long they take but you're acting as if it's somehow faster? Well it hasn't been for me.
If I dropped $300 on a single pack of seeds I would expect freebies when others that are buying the expedition line, packs ranging from $30-$60, are receiving them. People are bound to be upset when they spend more and have the perception of receiving less. That's just human nature.

Breeders and banks should just stop with freebies. They’re FREEBIES. It’s totally random and up to the seller unless stated. It’s ridiculous how much people bitch about freebies. Buy the pack or packs you want, grow them out, and stop whining.

But is Attitude doing the volume that Archive is? Especially right now?

I can get behind that
I couldn't even begin to speculate how much Attitude's business has been effected by these USA based seed banks.
I don't put it on Archive my orders slow, that's USPS and Canada Post, west coast is always slower. I just thought his comment was silly. He came in a lil hot.
Constructive criticism is never a bad thing. People should voice their opinions. If a companies thread regularly devolves into a pricing discussion that's a problem they should probably address IMO.
Personally I'll buy what I can afford. This whole Perception of quality because of the price tag marketing is BS. It holds zero weight in my experience.
Some of the best seeds I've grown have been free.

Bullshit. These breeders are charging crazy prices for SEEDS. They aren't "free" I can promise you that. It's a plant. Ive got packs from 10 or more breeders in my fridge, they've ALL grown fire. My best plant came from a free pack.
You ever seen a pack of 10 corn seeds for $100?

Archive's discord has people bitching about pricing too. Buying packs for $500 and before they even have time to grow that pack out it's $350. Dude said it was 3 weeks.
That's just straight up bad business. Some of those people, the guys who were willing to pay $500 a pack, won't be back. They certainly won't be on the hook for 500 again because Archive just showed them it wasn't worth it. They are arguing with the dude. Trying to play it off like dudes mad he paid tax when that clearly wasn't his grievance.
Up here in the frigid north, that spring won't sprung into for some reason, most retailers will refund you the difference if there's a sale price within 30 days of purchase. Not sure if they do that down there, but it's just good customer relations.
You never want a customer leaving feeling like they got ripped off, you want them feeling like they got a deal. That's where freebies come into play. Throwing a pack that don't cost Archive shit to make has the customer feeling like they were taken care of. That they got more than what they paid for.
Archive has had an adversarial approach to customer relations for as long as I have have been aware of the company. Their tone with customers is accusatory and untrusting. That's bad business, IDGAF what industry you are in.
All the breeders in the game have massive respect for Archive. Very rarely is a bad word said about the breeding practices. There's a reason this threads 170 pages and Bodhi's is thousands.

It's just breeders taking advantage of this grey area in the market. When federal legalization rolls around 95% of the bs will stop. Until then carry lube

I think he said that the genetics in higher priced expedition packs have been worked with a little more than the lower priced ones.

All i know is, for 20bux I'm stoked to have a Rainbow Belts 1.0 clone. This is cheaper than a single seed, if you can even find 1.0's anymore.

Should that still fetch twice the price, because "part of" the genetics were worked a lil more? It's all still part of the same "unexplored" line. Amnesia x Dosi18 is 30, Zkittlez x Dosi18 is 80?? Cmon, it's still ultimately unworked as a final strain.

After purchasing the expedition line i learned that the pricing reflects how many seeds that are in the pack. $30 packs have 3 seeds, $60 have 6 seeds and so on. i don't think they make that clear enough that you are not getting a set amount of seeds for every pack

no i'm stating facts from packs i bought with pictures as proof
Pie face was $60 and it contained 6 seeds
forum was $40 and it contained 4 seeds
i'm gonna take a guess and say all the packs you bought were 60 and contained 6 seeds

I was gonna say the site lists the packs as containing 6. You got a thread I can follow along? Maybe someone needs to make an "Expedition Series" thread. IDK.

Same thing with compounds discord, they unveiled they are selling seeds direct starting 4/20 and it’s been a shit show from the drop. I ordered seeds immediately and saw the price dropped $100 after 2 hours.
they wouldn’t honor the price drop, then they said we would get tracking within 3-4 day, that never happened.
i cut my losses and got a refund
