Topic: Ordering from eseeds...

[Gillysdad]

I notice this company has been mentioned elsewhere, but nothing added for the past 30 days.
Things haven't improved with this company. Despite my phone calls and e-mails all I get are promises.....and nothing else. Thankfully my credit card company have refunded my money. I hope they get enough complaints to warrant the removal of the credit card payment facility.
I just thought you guys and galls would like to know about this.

There are a few 'tried and trusted' companies that I would buy remotely from( Via phone, post, etc) but I reckon you can't beat going to the actual shop!! ;)

[Gillysdad]

Yes you are right of course. This company advertised that they had Peer Gynt sprout seeds and I was hooked. Should have known better. :-[

Thanks for heads up. But a shame for you - as you say at least you bought using a credit card. Maybe the company is having problems with their suppliers - but then why don't they just say that!

I can't work out where eseeds actually fit in. They seem to supply other suppliers' seeds (Kings. Suttons etc) that you could get online directly, although presumably if there is a wide variety you're after it would save postage and packing to buy (e.g.) Kings and T&M in the same place.

Peer Gynt is no longer on the market but several offer replacement/'improved' versions e.g. Dobies:

Thanks for that Barnowl. I grew an alternative sprout last year, but fell for the idea of getting my favourite sprout back. Had it not been for that I doubt I would have gone with them.

Seeds by size list Peer Gynt, it may be worth contacting them to find out if they still have them in stock.

Thanks Baccy Man, I'll give them a ring Monday.
