what's happening at attitude seed bank?!

doowmd said:

Been looking around on Cannazon. They're definitely "in the running". Attitude is back up again but idk. may try a small order out on Cannazon to test the waters, but as long as the attitude does their usual big ass promo in March, and isn't having "card issues" I'll have to order SOMETHING from 'em! lol

I can say cannazon is top notch and freebies are good this is my Exo cheese x Nepal indica I got for a freebie . I'm not complaining .! Shipping is A plus stealth !

What about seedbay? Anybody had good/bad results through it?

Click to expand...

I use seedbay all the time. I just got an order from them today actually. They don't take credit cards though. I mailed out my payment on the sixth and received it the 21st, so not too bad of a turnaround time.

They don't take cards? That sucks. Attitude is not taking them again either. Just got an email this morning saying they were having another "card issue" and hope to be able to accept them again soon.

if credit card / banks are refusing to do businesses with them, others may follow could get worse
might end up like the bit coin situation where banks in the UK refuse to deal with this kind of thing

might have to start ordering seeds from holland/canada who knows or using other forms of payment

Here's my latest email exchange with the tude:
the order is backwards so it needs to be read from top to bottom:

From Attitude today:

Glad you have your card issue sorted out. About the price match- I've found DNA Chocolope for nearly $20 less on Master of Seeds. here is the link-http://www.masterofseeds.com/en/dna-genetics/259-chocolope.html, they also have Martian mean green for less.-http://www.masterofseeds.com/en/dna-genetics/272-martian-mean-green.html#/seeds-6_feminized.






I've since looked around about M.O.S. and decided not to go with them, but here are two things that irked me:
1) the attitude trying to make me jump thru hoops to price match. I provided a link to both strains already and it was like they hadn't read the email with the links already attached
2) attitude has been extremely shady in the past 3-4 weeks; avoiding questions about shutting down, putting the promos off at least 3 times;

Attitude is off my list of viable options. fuck 'em. It's the giant march promo that I'm really going to miss but whatever. I've used SSC, Herbie's, W.O.S. (I think they're the same co. as ssc) and even the dreaded
Speedy Seedz several years back w/o issue. But Attitude had the best variety, always made it to my door, and never had an issue communicating with them, but I can't trust them now. Looking to give Cannazon a try on a small order, maybe even NGR too.

I have bought twice in last 60 days from them and used my credit card both times. Visa....I know some banks who issued cards are now blocking use on their site but that's the card issuers not them. A couple years ago they had an issue where their account was hacked and they stopped cards for like 30 days and changed processors. I got all my orders in 7 days from order to door no extra stealth or speed just standard shipping to US.. Now Herbie's I don't know I ordered 15 days ago and nothing yet supposedly went out on the 8th and they claim -7-14 days but nothing yet. Attitude is always been good for me in the 40 or so orders over the years never not got one or never missing or damaged seeds always under 14 days except once took 21 days due to hold up in NY customs but always quick through Chicago customs.

I felt the same about attitude Fletch, ton of orders, quick delivery, no issues, but it's hard to overlook all of the recent "issues". Fixin to email em again and ask if ALL cards are off limits or if they're still accepting AmEx. Thinking of getting a disposable AmEx card if so. IF they get their shit sorted out before March! That offer in March is/was a can't miss. Fuckin sucks!!!!

Damn, that makes me sad to hear that they're having issues. Again. -_- I was really looking forward to trying their Yunnan landrace.

I've emailed 'em twice. The reply I got this morning said they were hoping to have the issue resolved by the end of next week. But I'm suspicious of them going out of business, as a previous poster said. 20% off cash orders? I guess that could be a way for them to make sure business doesn't drop off too sharply while the card issue gets sorted, or could be a way of clearing out remaining inventory. Based on what I've read on here and email communication, I've been looking for a different spot. Master of Seeds looked attractive-the prices were so unbelievable that I did a lot of research and seen a lot of bad reviews. Probably pay the upcharge and just go with Herbie's. They haven't been "experiencing issues" recently have they?

On a side note: This shit about Attitude really fuckin sucks, cause I always loved their Humongous March promo-usually end up with around 28-30 beans for around $125 with guaranteed shipping! And now I think I won't be using them anymore cause of a mixture of paranoia/uncertainty.

You can almost always get a discount from them if you use cash and ask before placing orders this is because they do not have to pay credit card international processing fees or fees to their secure server encryption or to their shopping cart provider so it saves them money which they opt to give some back to the customer

Guess Im lucky I got my Xmas order earlier and I placed an order about 10 days ago came today all on card...I had one I cant use come up but that was over a year ago cuz when they switched to sage pay my bank wouldnt allow it to be authorized. Some banks will but you have to call and give them the site you want to use and agree that if an issue arises its all on you. I love attitude for all the singl fem seed options as thats all I buy and all the freebies. If I could find a seed bank which had same low single fem seed prices and same freebies Id try them. Im looking at that Master Seeds site mention but they are pretty high on single seed fems.

Ace seeds ? I think cannazon has some Yunnan

Cannazon seems pretty high and no single fem seeds offered so they are out for me lol

Just go to Herbies? I placed an order and it was to the U.S. through customs in less than 10 business days. Their super stealth is legit, and I have ordered twice from them with no worries and the customer support after the sale is excellent

I've been trying at Attitude to use print order form and it takes me home page, so I emailed them and haven't heard anything yet 5 days now. I then tried using my Visa and transaction failed. I tried using the telephone method and got a recording with office hours and a chance to leave a message. With them canceling the promo this month, not responding to email, or answering the phone, there is no way I'm sending them cash and a order number.

I bet Herbies orders have doubled this last few weeks. They are gonna get mine!

Same here, tried to use print out order form and a no go. Back to herbies.

I'm not a frequent buyer of seeds like many of y'all but last time I experienced weird shit like this was back ordering from Marc Emery's seed catalog in 2004 when the feds busted his ass. The feds snagged all their incoming orders and sent us a fake letter pretending to be Emery's company asking for more money. Not even remotely saying that's whats happening here, but still is bunk.

Thanks, I just check their site and they offer yunnan cheaper than attitude!

This site says "buy at your own risk" with cannazon: http://en.seedfinder.eu/seedbanks/reviews/
After looking around, looks like its herbies and seaofseeds, although i have to mention that it came up as i looked around the web for recent reviews that S.O.S. only recently started accepting credit/debit cards again and the order has to be shipped to the address that goes with the card, so IDK if that's a red flag or not.... Herbie's has everything I basically want anyway so I might just go solely thru them. Makes me want to place a big enough order not to have to worry about this shit again for a few years!

The only downside to a large order is if it gets seized and the seed bank won't replace it.

Yeah I know. breaking it down into two separate orders is the way to go. Just wish Herbie wasn't the highest priced bank out of ALL the ones available!

Payment methods including all debit, credit and pre-paid cards along with PPal and Bitcoin are available without disruption at www.bonzaseeds.com.

We're also currently offering up to 25% discount.

We sympathise with Attitude because it's an industry wide issue that we all, at various times, have suffered from. I'm sure they'll soon be back to normal.
