High Grade seed expirement

hey guys, wuts up. i ordered some ak-47 seeds from high grade seeds company for 55 usd. i sent the order out on 2/14/07. put everything in it, ya know the ship to address (P.O. box), my yahoo email, and the reciept for the order. so ill let ya know how it goes and all post by post. if anyone has some expirience with these guys let me know.

well, my timeline with highgrade is as follows

jan 7th - payment sent
jan 18th - I sent email asking if payment received
jan 21st - hg asked for my name and ship to address
jan 21st - I emailed my name and ship to address
jan 24th - told payment arrived, but had no info in it (name, ship to, etc.) in good faith, this was probably me not putting my info in, could've sworn I did, oh well....old stoners never die, they just forget where the car keys are
jan 24th - hg emailed saying recieved name and address, will ship jan 25th
feb 6th - sent email asking if shipped
feb 7th - hg informs me it shipped on Jan 30th
feb 14th - emailed hg asking how long shipping takes
feb 14th - hg said up to 2 weeks, should be receiving beans soon
feb 19 - no beans

in hindsight, I should've done priority shippiing, I ordered the seeds prior to ordering my new lights and remodeling my modest 8 x 10 grow room, the room has been completely remodeled and ready to go for 2 weeks


we are 3 weeks into a 2 week shipping time, so it doesn't look good, but a week late with the postal service is not actually unsurprising. still have my fingers crossed.

gotta say tho, highgrade has been responsive.

more than a month huh. damn. but i keep hearing that they take a long time but they do come

can u let me know when they come though. i would appriciate it.

my order from high grade only took about 2 weeks

where do u live in the states?

that is a ugly waiting list

i know i heard it can sometimes day 30 days or more

yea i live in the states. my poison afghan plants i got from them are looking nice

well its day 8(buisness days) and my stuff hasnt gotten there yet, or maybe they just havent emailed me the confirmation yet. i did send them an email about two or three days ago asking them to let me know when my shipment arrived, and they responded the very next day so its not like there ignoring me or anything. so thats good i guess. fuck i just want some seeds. GIMME MY AK-47 !!!!!!!!!!!!

yo absolute zero,where abouts in the U.S. r u. Im from so cali.

wait wait and wait some more...

you probably all ready know, but seed companies dont like excessive emails. For "overseas" purchases the mail system can take between 7-28 days each direction. So, could be a couple months to wait...

I live in a far northern midwest state, not that far from fargo.

When i made an order for less than $100, shipping took 3 weeks, plus around 7 business days to send the payment, on my other orders, it took 10 days round trip, so who knows...highrade delivers to the US nevertheless, just make sure you send your payment by global priority mail, otherwise your payment will most likely get lost...happened to me, and now i only order with GPM

I sent my payment to HGS on Feb17th and it still hasn't even made it to HGS yet. The postal service is slow on both ends it seems. Will keep you updated with my order with HGS as well.

That seems to happen ALOT with Highgrade. makes me wonder why?
I sent my orders (both orders) to Nirvana with ordinary postage (right before they quit shipping to the USA). I recieved my shipments in 13 and 14 days (weekends included)
Now why does so many payments to Highgrade "GET LOST"? Seems mighty suspect to me that it happens to them soooo much. If you don't have proof you shipped it to them, it is pretty likely to 'get lost".
As I said before, either the canadien Postal service is among the worst in the world, or HighGrade is pinching a little cash for themselves without having to go through with sending thier product.
Make up your own minds on this!

PS Why would your mail "most likely get lost"?
Simply a pile of BS
Search different sites, you will see this is an ongoing theme from Highgrade!

I had the same question, so i went to my post office and asked, why does my mail get lost when i dont send it through GPM to canada?
And the person said that when sending to Canada, if it doesnt include a customs label, its up to their discretion to proccess it or not...that would explain why my Airmail order was lost, it didnt have any customs declaration

Well it has been 10 days now and still no conformation from HGS. I indicated through USPS website to be notified of every transaction that happens with my global priority package sent to HGS and the last entry I have from the USPS is item sent from XXXX airport to Canada on 19th of Feb. I haven't recieved an update since then.

I contacted HGS and they haven't recieved my order yet. So.. I really dont know what to think at this point .. either the postal service in canada is really really slow or they lost (stole) my payment and order. Either way it sucks!

All of my future orders are going to European based companies!

If you are only sending a letter to canada, it doesn't need a customs declaration.
i regularly correspond with a person in Canada
here is the link from the usps
Country Conditions for Mailing - Canada
Also, do you honestly believe that the Canadian Post office with not only NOT DELIVER you mail but also NOT RETURN it?
The reason regular parcel post is available att he post office is because they actually deliver the mail.
Like i said,
I regularly send mail to Canada via regular mail and HAVE NEVER had a problem.

Also,
If you lose your tracking number, HIGH Grade will say they LOST your order, or have no record of it.
They lose WAY more orders than any other nonscam seedbank. Period.

I will never risk my cash with them again, nor will I ever endorse them.

here are a couple questions for all the High grade guys out there,
1) Why are they the only seedbank that seems to lose orders with a regularity?
2)Why do they have soooo many bad posts at various forums (do a google search).
3)Why do no other mega-seedbanks carry thier seeds?
4)Why are thier seeds not EVER entered in any major bud competition? This is a MAJOR way companies gain prestige. Win an award at one of the competition and your mojo rises!


I should have heeded the old warning when I first found Highgrade.... If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is!

Just my 2 cents!

well i got my seeds from nirvana just to let you guys know, they're starting to put those packages back out descretly as possible. and as for my high grade seeds, i emailed them on tuesday becuase it was the ten day marker and they got back to me saying that they would check it, they just needed my address. so everything is goin pretty damn well for me so far
