There is a lot of nice looking stuff on their website. Guaranteed shipping. Express shipping for orders over $100.00. I decided to give them a try. It all only looks nice as long as you dont need them to stand behind any of their guarantees.

Usually with a first purchase from a new company in another country that accepts only cash, I would purchase a minimum amount just to be sure everything works out fine. I was suckered in by the offer for express delivery (5 days) if my order was over $100.00 and to top it off the delivery was guaranteed.

I sent the money on the 14th, they received it on the 15th and shipped my order on the 16th. It should have been here on the 23rd. On the 25th I sent them an email asking them to check on this. They told me that it was mailed on the 16th but his girlfriend forgot to send it express mail so he apologizes, they should be to me next week, this was Friday.

I sent an email back explaining that I spent an extra 60 bux just to get the express mail and a half hearted appology just doesn't quite cut it. I also made sure they knew I would be posting this to a public forum regardless of the outcome and gave them ample opportunity to respond.

They didn't respond over the weekend so I decided to wait Monday for a reply and still, no seeds and no reply on Tuesday. I sent another email just this morning and still no reply.

Maybe they are a good company and maybe this was an honest mistake but if it was then why dodge my emails?

Maybe they seem good only until the time when you take them up on what they offer on their website, guaranteed delivery and express delivery for orders over $100.00.

HGS, you need to either take that crap off of your website or get behind it. If you have done it to me then chances are there are others. I just hope they stop by here to tell us all about it.

These public forums are the only thing we have to protect us from the many seedbanks that are not honest and all I am doing here is offering an honest report of what happened. I would welcome a response from HGS but if he doesn't have the backbone to respond in email and has to blame his problems on his girlfriend then chances are we wont hear from him here either.

So far it is as if I have sent my money to a non existant address. No product, no email response and a website full of nice looking deals that so far are all bullshit.

Be careful you don't get stung by this bozo. He may get your seeds to you but don't ever get extra seeds just to get his express mail deal. That is a bogus load of horseshit, just like the guaranteed delivery.
