No response. Ordered a week ago, received order number but parcel was not shipped, nor did I get a reply from the emails I sent. If anyone from Cannabist is reading this, my order “19534” is not d... See more

In my opinion this is an excellent, TRUSTWORTHY supplier of genuine quality seed. Affordable, which suits the home Grower perfect. Their locally bred strains are really good too, they did a fantasti... See more

Got more than I paid for

Delivery within 4 days. Got more than I expected, so thanks Cannabist. Most of the seeds have initially germinated, jury is sill out on the quality though. But so far i can't complain.

Package arrived in good condition and really appreciate the "freebies" that were added. Was a little bit unhappy about the long turnaround time as we ordered and paid in full on the 18th Jan 2022 and recieved the order on the 2nd of Feb 2022. But Cannabist redeemed themselves by suppling the goods in original breeders packaging and adding some decent extras.
Very happy with the order.
Thanks.

Placed an order with them on the 3rd of January and waited the 10 days as stated on the delivery information. nearly a month later and 3 mails to them with no response. This shop is a scam and im sure the reviews on here are also fake. Avoid this place at all costs if you don't want to loose your money!

Update
After my 3rd mail to them i got a notice that my delivery was on the way. No communication and no apology for why the items got delayed.
When i received the package, it was not sealed properly and they all got mixed up in the packaging so i had no idea what was what and the clones looked very unhealthy. Out of the 6 ordered only 1 survived. They have unfortunately lost my business and the business of friends who were interested to see how my experience with this company went.

More or less a scam.

Placed order mid December.
I never got a response to a question I had about a strain.
A week into January and I started to worry. They promise 3-5 days on their website. However it was holidays, so I allowed extra time.
I wrote them to ask several times if there was a problem. No response. I figured it was a scam, so I asked them to refund the order immediately. I gave them another week, which would have made 30 days. At the end of that period I could have asked my bank to force the refund, but the day after I threatened to take it further I got a notification that my parcel was on its way.
I got a lot of extra seeds. In total including my order, about 28.
Out of those, only FIVE have germinated out of the whole lot. It's my opinion the seeds were very old.

I will definitely not be ordering with them again. I don't know why they have such a high rating on this place, the service is dreadful and so is the product.

Order review

As there were that many extras in the parcel, I can't really complain about the low communication ^^ Got what I ordered and a sh!tload of addon beans.
Will order again...

Payment made, product received

I placed my order on 22/12 and received an order confirmation pending payment. Payment was made the same day. I sent a follow up email on 31/12 asking for information yet. I have not received any feedback from them.

Edit. It looks like they were closed over Christmas. I received my order early in January. Thank you

Disgusting service from a company that claims to be the fastest seed delivery in SA. i placed my order on the 11th of december and heard nothing from Cannabist or their team untill the 23rd of December where they stated my shipment was being processed its now two weeks later with no items ever being delivered and zero communication despite multiple attempts to contact them, i will be pursuing charges of fraud and theft against this company and I strongly advise against using this company who clearly lack and moral fibre or pride in their service. Disgusting and unacceptable
