      11-APR-2023 ordered *********************** Clover Seed - 10 Lbs. from Seed Ranch ****** seedranch.ca (but it's actually seedranch.com out of ****** **). Paid USD$97.77 via credit card. The order was marked as shipped but took days to actually physically reach the **** so they could ship it. emailed the company using their online form. I received an automatic response email but no human ever followed up. I phoned numerous times and eventually got a person who said shipping to ****** typically takes 2 weeks (not mentioned on website or order). Package went through a "shipping partner" and finally was delivered to **** in ***** on 21-APR-2023. Now the bag has reached ******** Customs in ********* on 24-APR-2023 and has been held for going on 3 days. I have emailed them 3 more times with no response. I have phoned several times over several days and no one answers. The voicemail did not let me leave a message. Eventually, I phoned today and was able to leave a message. No response yet. I just want my order.

      My husband and i ordered some seeds directly from this companys website. We ordered midnight roses and birds of paradise seeds. The midnight roses never showed up until we emailed, then they were sent right away. We began growing what we thought were birds of paradise but quickly found out that they are morning glorys, not what we ordered at all. The company has yet to reply to my husbands emails about the seed mixup and we are not happy that we were sent an invasive weed. We still have the rose seeds in our fridge for a month as the care instructions state before we plant them but now Im worried we might have the wrong seeds for those as well. We will never be buying seeds from this business again.

      Good morning, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. I believe you have ** confused with another company. We do not sell any of the seeds you have mentioned.

      The fertilizer I was sent has no relation to what the website offers the one I received is for ornamental, and in a different package and if not mistaken it is soluble I ordered Granular. and also I received it with a tear.# PRODUCT RECIEVED IS NOT SAME PACKAGING AS the One displayed on WEBSITE.#Product I Received says for ORNAMENTAL and turf use only, when in the website the one they display there it says for horticulture use which means vegetables garden and fruit trees (Which is why I bought if for, for my Vegetable Garden).# The fertilizer I ordered should be granular this one is soluble.#Sent them an email and also tried contacting them through their ******** page but no answer.The web page is the following from where I ordered:https://www.seedworldusa.com/

      Good afternoon, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Yes, sometimes we do change brands on our fertilizer. I apologize you were not notified before hand on that. The "Turf and Ornamental" is part of "Pro-mates" logo. It's on all of their bags. The other side of the bag will shows exactly what fertilizer it is. Unfortunately sometimes bags get damaged in transit. I will gladly ship you out a new bag if you would like. To reach our customer service you would have to either call the number listed on the front of the website, or fill out our contact form listed on our website. Thank you

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2021/07/21) */ Good afternoon, your tracking number is XXXXXXXXXXXX which was emailed to ****@telus.net (Check your spam if you don't see it). We received your order on Monday after we were closed and have not even had 24 hours to fill your order or respond to your emails. Was this really necessary? Consumer Response /* (2000, 7, 2021/07/28) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) The company was having phone issues when i tried to call. They reached out via email and provided a very good prompt response and shipping information. I recvd my package today the 28th and 100% satisfied. Thanks to Tina and Seed Co, i will definitely use their services online again. Richard

The seed came infested with boll weavels that have eaten the core seed i intended to receive from this false advertising garbage selling criminal emterprise for $123.00 including shipping .

I will sue in court to get my money back and fees added to exterminate my home and the vet bills to save my flock plus all sundries! Seed ranch et el cannot advertise garbage as high quality Seed and expect the buyer to dum down and accept garbage being eaten by a bug infestation feed or seed .
