I sent in an overnight order for $20 to HD 9 days ago.. I immediately got a response saying that my seeds have been shipped.. however it has been over a week and I have yet to recieve anything.. I also paid 10 for "fast shipping".. think I wasted my money.. :mad:

as a well-known Hemp Depot supporter, I have to add that I have only seen TWO complaints about HD in the last 3 years, or so ... one, was recently, and he finally got his seeds after about a month, evidently his order just got hung up in the mails ... hopefully, you will receive your seeds by the time you read this ... reminder to everyone: buying seeds is ILLEGAL in almost every country in the world ... buying anything illegal, anywhere, anytime, is highly RISKY ... if you have a problem, you have no one to complain to ... just like the gambling casino "ya puts yer money down, and ya takes yer chances' ... you may take a small bit of comfort in knowing you have dealt with a VERY honest retailer in Hemp Depot ... if there is a problem, it is almost positively a Postal or Customs situation ... if it was seized by Customs, supposedly, you will receive your package, (minus seeds), and a letter saying it was seized ... I have not heard of any subsequent legal problems after the seizure of the seeds, 'case closed' ... I do wish you good luck, and hope you let us all know if your seeds arrive ... :smokin:

you know what after glancing over this thread a few times i honestly have to say i think it is held up in the mail. the ONLY complaint i have heard about hemp depot is that their package didnt come, but then it ended up arriving. it was held up in the mail. that is what i bet is up with your order.

I think that we are all blessed just to have HD around.

And honestly, I'm surprised that they do such a damn good job. Just think about the logistics of the whole process....wow. Just wow.

I think that I'm going to send an extra couple of bucks next time...just because. They deserve it.

I can agree 100%! No matter how many emails i send him, i always get an answer in a day or two. He's a good guy that strives to keep his customers satisfied. Not many seed companies are as reliable as HD!

Image Reaper,
Have you heard anything about Joey's Moon Shadow? I didnt realize what it was until i noticed it was out of stock and i then read the description. Its Chemo/Rhino x C99!

I am really happy that so many of you are finding satisfaction with Hemp Depot ... I tried them simply by accident, had never heard of them before ... then, I started bragging them up for so long, and it seemed like no one else was trying them ... gradually, the happy customers started posting, and the couple slow deliveries got sorted out OK, so that makes me happy, too :D

you should be real happy with that ... I havent grown that one, but had a friend that did ... regardless, Apollo 11 shares a lot of genetics with Cinderella 99, so you should be right on target :thumbsup:

... the other day you said Brad told you they should be 'in' on Monday, this is Thursday, and a bit quick if he just received them Monday ... Im hoping they turn up for you soon :jointsmile:

greenhorngrower, I forgot to recommend that you check daily at Hemp Depot's 'Returned Letters' page ... if he has his shipment returned for any reason (usually because somebody tried to be so stealth, they confused their mailman :D), Brad will post your shipping address city and your initials, so you will contact him ... let us know how it turns out :jointsmile:

well he received my payment on november 13th, thats when I got a confirmation e-mail.. now its the 30th and I still have seen nothing.. I have nearly given up all hope, I am extremely dissapointed..:(

I even spent 30$ to overnight my order.. and another 10$ for "fast shipping"... pshh

well, really sorry to hear the bad results ... please let us know if you do get it, and continue to check the 'Returned Letters' section, just in case ... good luck ... :thumbsup:

Well.. I just messaged them again to inform them that I have seen nothing as of dec 4.. it was obvious that they dont intend to back my order, because what goes in the mail is "out of their control" ..Seems logical, but I feel like I got ripped and I'm pissed.. For all I know they sent me nothing... They still have my damn money and I dont have shit.. think they could at least re-send a couple lousy freebies, but i guess not..


I have been holding out, hoping things would change but..

Final Verdict: Rip Off!! Fuck Hemp Depot!!!:mad:

That's not really fair to call them a rip off. Customs could have taken them, maybe you didnt get a letter yet. Maybe someone stole them, its not uncommon for postal employees to get to "know" an address and start intercepting packages.

Ordering seeds online, and having them shipped, especially to the USA is always risky and you could lose them. I'm not saying they COULDNT have screwed you, just its not fair to label a seed bank as a "ripoff".

12-05-2007, 02:05 PM
Yeah,
Unfortuneatly, these things do happen. I have ordered from different seed banks and one time one order didnt make it. I was more worried about them being delivered to the wrong address than the seedbank making a mistake. I've also dealt with Hemp Depot without any problems.

now, that attitude is just WRONG !!! if you got 'ripped off', and after this long of a time, you probably DID get ripped off, but not by Hemp Depot ... IF you got ripped off, it was by the Customs Dept. :( ... marijuana seeds are ILLEGAL, duhhhh :wtf: ... and, you are the ONLY customer to have posted here without getting your seeds, that I've seen ... the only other 2 complaints I ever saw, got their seeds a few days later ... sorry for your bad luck, but put the blame where it belongs ... HEMP DEPOT, and Brad, are the ONLY honest retailers I have dealt with, regarding cannabis seeds ... :smokin:

I just got fucked out of 100 dollars so dont tell me I got the "wrong attitude".. It would cost them next to nothing to re-send just 5 seeds to me.. I would even settle for that.. but apparently its not worth it to them..

You defend them so religiously, how do I know your not brad himself.. in fact it was all YOUR posts about HD that peaked my interests in them..

the image reaper
12-05-2007, 04:40 PM
well, like I said, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you, especially since my praise drew you to them ... no, I'm not only NOT Brad, I am in NO way connected with Hemp Depot ... I have truthfully, never received ANY compensation or consideration from them, either ... I only brag them up, because I have been screwed by other dealers, as has lots of people, and have only been 100% happy with HD ... hell, maybe next time, it will be MY 'turn in the barrel' ... I won't be too happy about it, but I'm not gonna start screaming at HD for what was probably the fault of either Customs or Postal ... better luck next time, suggest you buy somewhere else ... :smokin:

greenhorngrower
12-05-2007, 10:19 PM
I havent been screaming at anybody.. in fact, I have continued to remain quite polite with them. I simply trust the postal service far more than I trust some illicit transnational canna-seed dealer.. Im confident customs didnt pick it up because I probly would have been informed by now.. I just think it would have been decent of them to re-send a couple beans.. It wouldnt cost them nearly what this has cost me..

Who goes and buys seeds online thinking they have a 100% chance of showing up? I bought some 2 weeks ago, and I have mine already, BUT if they didn't show, that was MY fault, not theirs, or customs, or anyones else's. I choose to make an illegal transaction and can accept it if I got caught. If you went to a dealer down the street and bought some seeds then got caught with them while driving home, are you going to go back to the dealer and demand a refund or more seeds? No, although I'd like to see that lol. There's nothing that separates that dealer down the street from Hemp depot. They both sell illegal substances to American citizens and they both don't give a fuck if you get caught and sure as hell won't give you a refund or more seeds.

So Accept it.

:wtf:Easy for you to say.. I was venting bro. I got ripped off, not caught, and naturally I'm going to be upset.. I'm not pissed about them being intercepted, if that were the case, I wouldnt be complaining.. I never got anything at all.. No customs letter stating they intercepted my mail.. nothing.. Therefor one must assume that one has been scammed.. isnt that the obvious assumption? If I find out otherwise, I will take back what I said, but its been long enough..

I wasnt asking for a refund, and more seeds doesnt sound unreasonable at all.. in fact there are other seedbanks that DO re-send.. So please dont be a jackass and bash me for it. You GOT your seeds i didnt.. and i have accepted it, but it still sucks..

Apparently they arrived weeks ago, but inadvertently got thrown away by a co-worker..

This is why people bash. People need to just settle down before they post.

FYI - to anyone out there, customs does NOT always send you a letter or something telling you they confiscated your items. Coming from someone who knows a customs agent, they are not required to do a damn thing for someone who orders something illegal.

BS at customs taking them, it's stealth packaging, it would be a miracle for them to know they were in there.

Balkey

It doesn't take a genius to find one package with seeds in it, in say a ipod container....and then look for ipod containers. Really, it doesn't take a genius.

On this site alone there are many people who have had customs take their package. I've read many posts about it.
