I did not realize Buying Seed was a company based in the USA thus you can guess my surprise when the invoice finally arrived and it was 35.98 US which equates to $50.17 CDN. This was for 150 Potatoe Seeds.

The other concern was, the seeds arrived with no instructions about planting, when, what depth etc.

I wish I had read the reviews of this company prior to making a purchase as I definitely would not have made my purchase. Now I’m questioning what seeds I actually received and if they will actually grow. The more reviews I read the more I believe this site/business is a scam.

c Couldn't be simpler

Finding the product and ordering it was easier than going to a store and buying it. I contacted them about the steps in sowing and taking care of the seeds, with a next day response. I will try to review again with an update on the seeds growth.

Selling incorrect seeds

I ordered 10 seeds which where supposed to be Strongylodon Macrobotrys.
They were being sold at a very reasonable price of $15.99 for 10, especially when one seed is usually around £25 alone.
I didn't hold out much hope and I was right. When they arrived they are 100% not Strongylodon Macrobotrys.
They look like Chinese wisteria.

I wrote to Buying seeds who replied saying "We have checked the images you provided, and we sent you the correct version of the seeds. Their appearance may differ from what you found on other websites, but they are indeed the correct seeds. You can try planting them as usual, and please feel free to contact us if you have any problems."

Strongylodon Macrobotrys seeds are very unique in their size and shape, so for them to reply with their response is to try catch the unknowing out.

Avoid.

arrived in timely fashion

delivery was fine. cateloge pics are misleading. especially the fly eater plant. while it is fun; buyers need to know what to expect when plants mature. might be more productive to send your survey in 3 months after plants have grown and matured.

Ship from China with no labels, seeds destroyed at customers

If you are in Australia, don't use this site; the seeds will be destroyed by customs as they ship without the needed labels and certificates. The site claims to be in the Netherlands, but orders ship from China. Also, it took about 4 weeks for the delivery to arrive and the seeds to be removed.

They packed the product well they threw in a little happy aka a small sheet of stickers that was cool the delivery time was fairly good only negative I can say is the product did not come with instructions for proper growing of the product but they did give the names of the product so it's easy to look up for that I truly do not mind it makes it fun for myself because I'm actually learning something and not just doing what I'm told with out understanding why

Support is horrible

Support is horrible.
I ordered seeds. No tracking number. I asked, no answer. I asked again, Order was lost and had to be redone. I asked again, finally got a tracking number.

I asked about a product, called BLUE grass seed and everything in the description says green. So I sent a simple question, is it blue or green.
Instead, after waiting 9 days, I had to contact again. Then, they didn't even read the question, which had a screenshot of the title (and picture) showing BLUE grass, but every color in the description was, green, verdant, etc.
I asked AGAIN and they said "we already sent you the tracking number, check your email".

They didn't even bother to read the message or look at the screen shot. I DID NOT ask again about the tracking number. Is it BLUE or GREEN? Simple question.

So, AGAIN I asked... with another screenshot.
They sent me PLANTING instructions...

In 1 month, have not answered a question to a simple question, blue or green... PERIOD.

They spend more time NOT answering than answering... IF they ever answer.

SCAM

I ordered seeds for Jade Vine Strongylodon as well as Heirloom Mucuna Jade Vine. When some of the seeds sprouted it turns out they are all Chinese Wisteria

This package was never delivered

This package was never delivered. I ordered the highest amount and paid for shipping tracking. The info stated it was delivered but never was. When I tried to speak or email customer service instead of doing a refund or reshipment they just stated to check with neighbors and when I stated the neighbors never received the package they never messaged me back and did not refund the money for the missing product. They only refunded the cost for the shipping. Which doesnt compare to the money i spent on the product. They will steal your money. They are unprofessional and uncooperative. If you truly desire to get anything doNOT order from them. They will steal your funds and not respond or try to resolve the issues. This is a scamming company.
