Will do, but I don't grow over the summer because I go out of town for two stretches of 8-9 days each. So, I probably will plant again around Sept, which means a harvest in Jan-Feb.

[TheFxckingHero]

aw, how come you ordered them so early then?

[toastybiz]

Good question, just the reassurance of having them in hand. I just like planning a little bit ahead.

thanks for the seedbank report, nice info, what did you know notice price wise, sorry if i missed it.

[toastybiz]

Thanks.

I didn't bring price into this because that info anyone can check out for themselves at the seedbanks. I really was interested in evaluating the ordering and shipment itself, based on the parameters I mentioned in my re-cap: speed, communication, packaging/stealth, accuracy, and bonus points.

To your question, I found Gypsy a tiny bit lower priced than Doc on most items, but sometimes Doc was comparable or better. Those prices are before the 10% discount from Doc that emag mentioned earlier up in this thread.

Doc gets my vote I have orded twice from Doc and got both my orders within 2 weeks I never did get my order from Gyspy. I emailed them and complained and they said if I ordered again they would add something extra. Forget that I just ordered From Doc again and got my order in less than 2 weeks.

Thanks Dale

I wish I would have read these threads before I went to Amsterdam marijuana seeds..It took a month and a few seeds were smashed.

This thread is kinda old, but this is the first time I have read it. Nice post toastybiz. +rep Im still debating on the safety of ordering. I dont really have an alternate address to use. I was thinking about getting a po box, but how much would that help really? Im leaning towards Gypsy mostly for the freebies and cheaper prices if I ever order. peace...

im australia and i got seeds from gypsy on more than one occasion and they turned up every time some quiker than others but all in all i think its great service and a freebie bag with every order makes it even better although i got some k2 from there and they were fucked not one servived the 4th week but the northern lights im growing now are going good realy good infact

How did you get a PO Box with a fake name? They ask for 2 forms of ID, form 1483 USPS????

Or do you mean, you just give the seed co. a fake name to ship too...

[toastybiz]

I gave the seed co a "fake" name that was a mangled spelling of my real name. Glad I did that too because one of my orders was addressed to the wrong po box. Based on the name they were able to figure out the shipment was for my box, otherwise Granny a few boxes down might have gotten my beans!

The reason for getting a "safe" address and/or using a fake name is to throw another roadblock up in case there ever is an LEO trace or investigation. I don't know if it would amount to much but you never know what will cause a judge to deny a search warrant. The main idea is not to have the beans delivered to your grow location because that is a direct link, instead make any necessary links indirect.

I'm starting to get pissed. I send my payment to Gypsy's on 9/26, early in the morning. I called USPS on 9/29 and was told that it was in customs going into the UK. It's been a week and a half since then and they're still saying they're "Awaiting Payment". WTF???

[Tommygirl]

Ok...finally got an email today saying they were packing my order. I hope it doesn't take another two weeks to get to me. I also hope it glides through customs like hot, teflon razorblades on ice.

An update, m'kay?

Got an email on Oct 11th stating that my order had been shipped in full. Been checking the mail for the past three mornings when I got home from work and nada. Decided to do a double check today, because my postwoman comes in the early afternoon, and I was running a little early for work so I had the time. There was a package from Epsom Surrey in my box. So, once they got my payment it only took them one day to fill and ship it and I got it 7 days later.

I have everything that I ordered, with nothing missing or exchanged. Top44, Big Bud, Misty, Papaya and Master Kush, plus I got 15 Skunk #1 beans gratis. *doing the Snoopy Dance* Every bean has been counted and there are no shortages in any of the packages, and none appear to be damaged. There was no way they could possibly have been crushed in transit the way they were packaged for shipping.

Seed Boutique is definitely on my thumbs up list. I'll have to try the Doc some time.

for gypsy:
their prices are a couple dollars cheaper

for the doc:
their freebies germinated
their website didn't lose it's checkout before i could place a second order
last place to get great spice brothers' strains at a reasonable price (eg C99)

both sites shipped within about a week, but doc's freebies hatched unlike my gypsy SADP X skunk #1 frebies, and they were still accessible when i wanted to reorder. they get get the edge for reliability twice over.
