I did a lot of research. I recently moved back home to help care for my Mom as she undergoes chemo. We ran a market garden here for years until my parents retired and I found myself back here facing dozens of garden beds to dig weeds out of and fill once again. The problem was, since I left my job to come home, money is a big concern. And so I found Dollarseed. And they did not disappoint. I ordered 19 packets of frost tolerant veggies on Tuesday and here I am on Saturday with my bags full of seeds! Everything is very neat, the seeds are clean and unmarred, they even sent some oakleaf lettuce as a gift. Can't wait to drop them in with the lettuce mix I ordered. This is Texas and lettuce is a winter crop most years! So I am glad to recommend Dollarseed. This is not a complaint but be aware the "order tracking" on their website is either not working or lags greatly because these showed up and the link on the site never went beyond processing,. | |

I did a lot of research for good seeds with reasonable prices and came across Dollar Seeds. They processed and shipped on time. The list came hand checked with red pen and a signed 'thank you'. That's so sweet and gives the whole shopping experience a personal touch. Thank you Dollar Seeds. You'll be happy to know, these were purchased for a trip to Ghana and they arrived on time. I will let you know in a later review how they fared with the climate here. Oh! I loved loved the complimentary lettuce packet. Thank you. My only complaint will be a mix-up of one item: I received Cabbage Golden Acre instead of Red Acre. It could be a typo or oversight but generally 1 out of 37 orders, you're pardoned. | |

DollarSeed is a great service. Ordered once and received my seeds in a timely manner. There's something very charming about getting your order checked off in pen with a hand written signed "Thank You" at the end. *And* they sent me a free pack of lettuce seed with my order. I *love* getting surprise free stuff! A few notes that make it different from other services: 1. They pack in transparent plastic press-close bags with a sticker label on the front - not paper packets. 2. For some seeds you're going to get the exact "Approx" amount. Like for my Victoria Rhubarb it says "Approx 15 seeds". There are exactly 15 in there. Same thing with Sunflower Dwarf Sunspot "Approx 17 seeds" - exactly 17 seeds. So expect the approx amounts. I'm not complaining - I'm impressed by the approximation. The Ace 55 Tomato pack I got claims approx. 91 seeds. For comparison MIGardener's $3.95 "Homestead Collection" Ace 55 pack has approx 50 seeds. So you're getting almost *twice* the seeds at almost a *quarter* of the cost! Amazing. If there *is* anything to complain about it's the near microscopic pictures on their website - they're often less than 200pixels in both dimensions - but if this is intentional to save on bandwidth and pass the savings onto the consumer I appreciate it...but really what are we talking about here? An 8kb picture vs a 57kb picture on bigger sites? Overall I'm *very* happy with DollarSeed! I will be ordering from here again. | |

So happy I found Dollar Seed!! This was an easy experience and I love the clear baggies with the labels, I have even switched my other seeds to the same process! My order came quickly and all seeds I have started or direct seeded have already germinated! BEST FIND EVER. Thank you so much for providing this service. I can't wait to try some other varieties and send off for more seeds! | |

from Johnson City, NY I can't believe I found such a great company. I give these seeds as gifts to my in-laws, parents, friends, and anyone who asks. I love how simple it is. I have never been "accidentally" subscribed to a mail list. They have a great selection, and every year, they add more every year. The shipping is always lightning-fast, proper number of notifications, tidy, simple, and just perfect. No surprise fees, ever. Just heirloom seeds from their hippie garden near home (I love Cortland and miss it). I get great germination with their seeds. They've always been fresh in my experience, and the pack year is always given on the packet. You never get seed packets from the back of a pantry. Just fresh, high-quality, heirloom seeds. I will be buying from Dollar Seeds again and again and again. | |

from Lakeside, CA I did a lot of research to try to find seeds at a reasonable price and came across Dollar Seed. The reviews were mixed but I decided to order anyway. I am extremely pleased with the transaction. I was notified when the seeds shipped and came in a timely manner. The receipt inside had a nice hand written thank you, which went a long way with me. I also received a complimentary seed pack of Oakleaf Lettuce with a generous amount of seeds in it. I look forward to planting these and would recommend Dollar Seed. | |

from Crossville, TN Did a lot of research and searching to find a Seed Company that had decent reviews and reasonable prices for seeds. All the Major seed companies are Way, way out there as far as reviews and prices. I made a purchase from Dollar Seed on Jan 1 and again on Jan 7. Both orders were filled in a very timely and accurate. The price of seeds are hard to beat. Looking forward to starting seeds Feb1, in a small greenhouse in the garage with lighting and heat mats. Back to Dollar Seed, they will forever be my go to seed company if I get their seeds to grow. Can't imagine why they won't grow, unless I broke my green thumb. Anyway in each package received, there's a nice signed handwritten Thank you. Also, a Dollar Seed pen was included with each order, but most importantly, a package of complimentary seeds, not ordered were included. Nice touches. I wasn't going to plant lettuce, but the complimentary oakleaf lettuce seeds motivated me, and I ordered iceberg lettuce seeds on my second order. Overall, A great experience from ordering to receipt. I'll be back! Thank you for a great fulfillment experience. | |

from West Hartford, CT Dollarseed did not mail my order. After I sent numerous emails inquiring about my order, the company eventually responded by blaming the post offfice. I asked to have the seeds resent and to bill appropriately, however, they have ignored this request and continues to ignore emails. I suspect that the company is out of business. Company representative comment on March 24, 2024: On Mar 24, 2024 9:15 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: We are not out of business.

from Milan, MI I am 100% a believer in promoting small business. For this reason when I saw the several bad reviews for this company I was interested in finding out for myself. Also for $1 per pack how much could I lose. I ordered 10 packs of seeds and with shipping order came to less than $15. I received informational emails from the company at every stage of the sale, from order confirmation to delivery date. I planted some of all but one package, that I have wait till spring. All packs germinated at above 90% rate and all are doing fine. I believe that the negative reviews must either be from operator error, yours not theirs or most likely as they say in their info from false sites on the internet stealing their name. Make sure if you order that you have the correct Dollar Seed, not a phony, just follow the link from this website.. I just ordered a full order for my Florida winter garden. | |

from Fort Wayne, IN Honestly for the most part my order experience wasn’t bad. Let’s face it not all seeds will necessarily germinate. That can always be user error rather than the seller so for those having issues perhaps looking into the way you germinate rather then going straight to a bad review. No one can guarantee germination. Once out of their hands the germination process is on you the buyer. Honestly the packaging isn’t bad. I honestly feel they care, just a bit overwhelmed. Unfortunately the only negative thing I have to say is they do lack badly in customer service. I have tried multiple methods of contact and multiple attempts and have not received anything back. Again I get they are busy, but you don’t want to lack in customer service. I am more than willing to return what I received that was incorrect for then correct item that I actually ordered. But my issue is even after multiple attempts via email from the website, messenger, and on their business page, I have not received anything. That is my only negative review. It’s only 1.00 I get it however it is nice to get what we actually order. I’m honestly not too upset as human error happens I would hope they just contact us back to correct it. To some nowadays 1.00 is a lot. Other then the lacking in customer service I would rate them pretty good :) Company representative comment on March 24, 2024: On Mar 24, 2024 9:18 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: We have published both here and on our Facebook page, that if you have questions about an order you need to contact me, David Moffitt, the CEO and founder to get any updates.

from Kinston, NC I'm hoping this page is the same as dollar seed. I placed an order in mid-July but still haven't received it. I tried emailing several times, and I haven't received an answer. I have no other way to contact the company, but if I don't receive my order or a response, I will have to contact my bank to get the money back. Company representative comment on August 21, 2022: On Aug 21, 2022 3:06 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: Yes, we are DollarSeed which is a Registered Trademark. However, many others have tried to use our name in vane, hence why we paid lawyers to register our business as a Trademark. If you did not order directly from DollarSeed.com, then you ordered from someone pretending to be us. We do our best to take them down as fast as we can, but it takes a lot of time and effort and expense. If you did order from us, please send your inquiry to CrownPC@Yahoo.com and I will look into it. It may be that you are one of many whose email was not correct, and we have your package waiting to reship due to a bad mailing address, etc. | |

from Torrance, CA Unfortunately I had a VERY BAD experience with them. As you can see from my emails below, I placed my order on 7/15/22 and it hasn't shipped as of 8/2/22 with no responses to multiple emails. I have filed a fraud dispute with my credit card company
----------------
On Mon, Aug 1, 2022 at 10:40 AM XYZ Due to an overwhelming amount of new customers/orders, we do not respond to every email we receive. That would require another full time worker. We have just hire our 7th and 8th employees to help us keep caught up on orders. It has been so hectic in fact, that we have only been able to use our new camper for just one weekend this year. We try to ship all orders out within 24 hours of receipt, but at the present we are running behind schedule by around 4 days. The status in our store never communicates with our shipping program, and therefore is not updated. However, you should have received an email from Stamps.com stating that David Moffitt has sent you a package with the correct tracking information. Using XYZ as your name, and not sharing your order number makes it impossible to follow up. | |

from Phoenix, AZ This website is amazing. The selection is more than I was expecting, and I am so happy that I finally found affordable seeds. I have been looking high and low, dozens and dozens of places, and finally I ran across Dollar Seeds. I'm not sure why they weren't at the top of the list to begin with! I am always for a good deal, but this was beyond that. My experience has been great so far. I ordered 25 different seed varieties. $1 each. Shipping was $5. That's $30 for 25 generous bags of seeds. I had to get specific varieties of things, as I live in Zone 9b in Phoenix, so I can't grow just anything here. Dollar Seeds did not disappoint. Though more seed varieties in the future could never hurt anyone! : ) The more the merrier in my opinion. But They had a great selection to begin with. I'm so happy I found this place. The seeds arrived much sooner than I anticipated, literally just a few days after placing the order. Amazon is slower than that lately. Lol. The seeds came securely packed in a white bubble mailer, and all of the packets came in clear ziploc baggies with a very useful label. No frills, just facts. Super easy to see what I have, how much, etc. I love it. Each packet contains a very generous amount of seeds for the price(which is stated on the label), plus they even included a complimentary packet of Oakleaf lettuce seeds for free, a business card magnet, and a pen. Not only do I love cheap stuff, I also love bonus freebies. This all speaks volumes of the owners and how they do business. My included invoice showed everything I ordered, checked off by hand, and signed with a thank you note at the bottom. I cannot ask for better customer service than this. All of my needs were met, and then some. No mistakes, no substitutes, and all seeds are in fantastic shape. I am going to start the germination process this weekend. Can't wait. Thank you for such a refreshing experience! | |

from Osceola, MO I am very, very impressed. This is the quickest I have received any seeds I've ever ordered online. Everyone near us was out of cauliflower seeds. I happened to see this link on a video ad, can't remember where, but decided to see if they had any. They had those and quite a big selection, including flower seeds for my bees. I'll definitely be back for more. | |

from Rome, PA I ordered from this company for the second year jut a week or so before Christmas. (2021). The order arrived in perfect condition. No crushed seeds (Thank-you, USPS). It only took a few days to get here. The packets contained a good measure of seed and were in clear zip-lock bags making storage of unused seed easy and better than paper. Great people; great business! Recommended. | |

from Terre Haute, IN Just received 30 packs of seeds from Dollar Seeds. Since it's the dead of winter, I don't know whether they'll be viable yet, but I can say that the delivery was quick and accurate, and the seeds show no obvious signs of damage. I'm really pleased to get all these seeds for $35, including $5 shipping since I'm replacing a seed collection I had to leave behind when I moved back to the US from the UK. The seeds are all packed in clear ziplock bags with seed counts, germination test rates, and "packaged for 2022" on the labels. Once the season starts, I'll post an updated review with my experience getting them to grow. | |

from West, TX I have bought both flower and vegetable seeds from DollarSeed.com and been happy with all of them. My first purchase was seeds for my Spring vegetable starts. I wasn't sure what the quality would be, so I over planted. Everything germinated and I ended up having enough plants for my garden and two of my friends. I've also bought flower seeds twice. Each time the quality and amount were good and the shipping was fast with great communication. | |

from Pittsburgh, PA I wasted $27 on seeds from this company. When he stated he did not guarantee his seeds I should have then decided not to purchase. Only the squash seeds actually grew however did not produce a single piece of squash. The other 24 types of seeds, though planted twice, either did not grow correctly or did not grow at all. In saying that IF they grew seedlings that all looked exactly alike, grew long and leggy, then just died. None of these seeds yielded a single vegetable, herb or flower. This was very disappointing as of course as we purchased/planted the seeds to grow food. I advised the owner on three separate occasions including sending photos and he did nothing. Please do not waste your money on these seeds. Now it is too late to plant new seeds, too late to buy good plants, and as we depend on our planting for food we are at a loss due to this company. Too date he has still not refunded our money. | |

from Athens, GA Posted on May 12, 2021, updated May 16, 2021 I placed an order two weeks ago today and have yet to receive any communication beyond the original confirmation email. I have contacted the email listed on the website and on the invoice and have gotten no response to either inquiry. A previous order went differently which is why I made a second. Some notes about that experience: One cost cutting method is using plastic ziploc baggies instead of paper envelopes. The resealing is nice, but the packets contain no growing information. As the proprietor mentions on their site, most of the information is available online, but if you are like me, be prepared for the extra step of writing notes on the packets. Elbow deep in soil is not a good time for a quick search of some stray detail I have forgotten. One packet I received was mislabeled; it was marked as "coneflower" (Echinacea) when the seeds were in fact "cornflower" (Bachelor Buttons). Due to the similarity, it is likely a typo. This was an unrequested complimentary item, so it did not interrupt my planting, but made me a little nervous about some of the other seeds with which I am less visually familiar. Otherwise, my first order had very fast turnaround and the seeds I have planted so far have had good germination rates. This makes my second ordering experience all the more disappointing and a real letdown. Retailers should not accept orders without fulfilling them. On May 16th, 2021, relevantpink changed the rating from negative to neutral and added the following: My second order eventually arrived and the contents were correct. I’m very relieved that the order was fulfilled, but the difference in the level of communication and available information between my first order and second order was confusing. I never received any shipment information even though the package had a tracking number, and not being able to get a response via email caused me concern. However, the most important thing is that the items I paid for arrived and appear to be in order. Perhaps just be prepared for idiosyncrasies if you order from this store. It may be well worth it if they have what you want and time isn’t critical, because their prices really can’t be topped. Company representative comment on August 21, 2022: On Aug 21, 2022 3:13 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: Since the beginning of the pandemic, when many garden centers were shut down, we have been flooded with many new orders, from many new customers. Our Customer Service may have dropped off some, only because we feel it is more important to get the orders out, than to spend our time chasing every order that the USPS delays delivery on. We do our best, and now have 6 full time employees and 2 part timers to try to keep us caught up. | |

from Ellicott City, MD I was looking for some flower seeds for my gardens. While not a huge selection, those that were there were a nice variety and I was able to find some familiar favorites and select a few that were new to me. With such low prices, it is easy to give new plants a try. Shipping was perfectly reasonable. I received an email notice that my order was received, and another e-mail stating my order had been shipped and providing me with a tracking number. My order arrived very quickly and the seeds are well packaged. A complimentary pack of seeds was included and a couple of little gifts.

from Pueblo, CO First time ordering, great experience. Seeds came in today and everything looks fine, plus I got a free gift which was a nice touch. Everything is labeled and ready to go. I'm just waiting for the weather to make up it's mind but I will be starting most everyone indoors this week. They have a nice selection, not as large as I'd like, but what's there is most certainly enough. I would like to see a larger herb selection if anything. Most of all I love the prices, it's rather hard to find heirloom seeds at a decent price and I will be back again next year if not a few more times this year. The only suggestion I have and I know it can be an large load of work, but I would like to see a growing zones listed. It really helps me settle on what I want to buy without having to put in an already exhaustive amount of research. | |

from Cincinnati, OH During this time of not being able to shop freely as normal, I decided to order seeds online this year. I found DollarSeed in a search and was pleased to see a larger selection of different vegetables at a decent price then I was expecting. The website was easy to navigate. The ordering process was easy. I was impressed with the fast shipping as I received notification of shipping within a day and received the order today.

Looking forward to enjoying a great harvest this year. | |

I do wish the website was a little more streamlined, and that there was a guide to how to interpret all the numbers and abbreviations on the seed packets, that they sent an email when the package shipped, and that instead of urls on printed materials they did URcodes.

I work at a hospital in Texas where customer service and caring is at the heart of what we do, especially now, and it was touching to see the handwritten thank you from Leah on my packing slip.

I kindly emailed him to ask about the specified cultivar of Clarkia that is directly stated on the website. The picture of his Clarkia does not match what the cultivar "Mountain Garland" Clarkia should look like. He quickly shot back a passive aggressive response stating he isn't sure what "misled me to believe" that his Clarika was "Mountain Garland", and that I was mistaken. The way he articulated his email was like an angry arrogant child. I kindly informed him it was directly listed in the listing for his Clarkia seeds on the website, and even shot him over a screenshot from his own website. I then got a rambling passive aggressive response stating that I somehow didn't understand the process of cross-pollination and that this some how had something to do with why he was denying that his variety stated on the website was "Mountain Garland". Excuse me, what? This has nothing to do with misrepresenting a variety and then denying that you even have "Mountain Garland" listed on your website. He said he merely copy and pastes descriptions. Oh, I see. So he really has no idea what he's doing, then. Nor does he know much about the plants he's actually re-selling from other more dedicated companies who are actually PASSIONATE about the seeds/plants they cultivate and grow. It either is or isn't that variety. I didn't need a childish response like this. It was a simple question. His response was incredibly immature. It doesn't end there. Next, When I asked a simple question of how he acquires his seeds (from where), and kindly asked if he grows or collects his own seeds; he again, responded like a child, rambling on and on about how he couldn't POSSIBLY have the time to manage packing seeds and actually growing his own plants. Seriously? Wow, excuse me for being curious as to if the owner of the company actually grows and collects their own seeds. You know, many seed companies do, so it shouldn't be so shocking that a customer would inquire about the source of their seeds. I don't think I want to purchase from this company ever again. David seems like an over grown man-child sitting on a high chair who probably rather hang out on a computer all day as an internet addict re-selling some one else's seeds rather than get his hands dirty in the soil and spend more time learning about the actual seeds he's selling. I prefer to purchase seeds from some one who actually speaks/writes like an adult and whom is actually experienced in gardening. That said, glad every one else was happy with their seeds. Personally, I have to believe in the company and know they are passionate/experienced in gardening. Seeds from an online troll is not what I had in mind.. On July 12th, 2020, LightofLilies added the following: I also noticed something - These comments are very likely fake (at least a big chunk of them), and most are likely written by David himself. Critical thinking skills here: FIVE positive reviews posted about his company on THE SAME DAY? That is actually unheard of and doesn't happen on Dave's garden. Not many people take the time to review a company on Dave's. Not even Baker Creek Seeds in Missouri, which is one of the largest seed companies in the world, gets 5 separate reviews in a SINGLE day on Dave's Garden. You're a maniac, Dave. Don't pretend all of these reviews are genuine. Its obvious many of these were written by you. On July 13th, 2020, LightofLilies added the following: Sure, David, Sure. No, I'm not a "Disgruntled" gardener. I have never had this experience with a seed company and I have been gardening for decades - not once have I had such an unprofessional reply to my emails and childish refutes. You said you copy and paste all your descriptions. To outright deny that you had "Mountain garland" listed on your Clarkia description, then not even apologize for having not noticed once I proved it to you, is sad. You were determined that no where on the website had you stated it was Mountain Garland, and that I was "misled" in thinking so. I kindly sent you a screenshot. Instead of being Rude and going on a rant, you could have said "Wow, I didn't notice that it said Mountain Garland, it looks like it indeed does say that. I apologize for telling you that you were mislead".. You denied having even used that in the description and wouldn't even admit you were wrong. I didn't need a long rant about how cross-pollination works. You probably didn't even take the photo of the Clarkia on your website. Would you like to deny that too? A simple image address search showed me you took it from here -> https://www.paseseeds.com/clarkia-lilac-pixie-annual-seeds/ You used the image from paseseeds, it appears. And according to that stock image it isn't even Mountain Garland. Its listed as Lilac Pixie Clarkia. Check mate. It is not a sin for some one to NOT read your long, run on sentence rant on your website about how you've "Changed the industry", and so on. Most of your self-worship talk is smoke and mirrors. Glad you can fool most people, but you can't fool me. If I were you, I would brush up on your customer service skills and learn how to speak with grace and kindness over coy/chop self-aggrandizing replies. On July 14th, 2020, LightofLilies added the following: Nice deflect. Company representative comment on July 14, 2020: On Jul 13, 2020 11:56 AM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: Wow, was that awful harsh. Did you know that I can\\\'t post my own reviews, as I am the owner of this company? These are real reviews. The reason for the high number, which include the actual order numbers, was because we were running a contest at the time. On Jul 13, 2020 3:42 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) added: PaseSeeds, another NY company that purchases their seeds from many of our same suppliers. You\'re talking about a company that sells 25 pepper seeds from $9.95 on up? Go ahead and play with them if you wish. We did not use their photo, nor would we ever use a non-supplier photo for any of our seeds. We sell twice that amount for just a Dollar. Comparing apples to oranges makes you the fool.

from Willow Springs, MO I just ordered from them for the first time and all I can say is WOW! Prompt delivery as promised and a much larger quantity of seeds than I expected for only $1 a pack. Also love those clear plastic zip lock bags so I can always see how many seeds I have. They even sent a free company pen and refrigerator magnet. I've found my new go-to company for next years seeds. | |

from Sunnyvale, CA Overall great experience. Bought the seeds first time from the site, accidently clicked pay later, David was quick to send me payment link upon emailing of the mistake. Seeds arrived very quickly and a lot of them. I have bought seeds from for profit and small merchants before and in comparison, it is a lot of seeds for the price. Seeds look high quality, and neatly packed in ziplock bags. Very excited to plant them. | |

I have made 2 orders and each arrived quickly. The seeds are nicely packaged and along with them, I received a magnet, a pen and a pack of free seeds! Awesome! I highly recommend this company to anyone who's looking to purchase seeds. :) | |

I am not disappointed, shipping was quick although one thing was out of stock they sent back a dollar plus free lettuce seeds plus a pen! How awesome is that! I can't wait till they sprout up. I can honestly say this is why this company has 5 Stars! Stay Healthy ,I can see myself returning to your store. Sandy Smart Cocoa fl | |

from Elkins Park, PA After browsing the Garden Watchdog part of this website and seeing the positive reviews for DollarSeed, I bought several seed packets from the company. I received a confirmation email and got my seeds within a week. I have started several of the received seed packets indoors, and am seeing an exciting burst of initial activity from them. At this early stage, I cannot comment on the long term viability of the plants for producing a crop, but I can definitely comment that DollarSeed seems to be an honest and trustworthy business from all the data I have so far. | |

from Waco, TX Through my search for inexpensive but quality seeds, I came across the DollarSeed website. They have a really good variety of seeds, many things I had never seen before. I was looking to invest in starting my own little seed bank for my family and extended family, so I decided to purchase the "A Lot In The Box Garden Seeds" bulk box of all of the seeds they offer. I was a little worried that I wouldn't get a few of the things I wanted since some items had been showing out of stock, but I was so excited to see most of those things in the box when it arrived. I believe I recieved 235 packets of seeds, which in my opinion is an amazing deal for $150. I have not started any of the seeds yet, but can't wait to get them growing. They arrived quickly and all of the packaging is nice and neat. I am currently trying to get them all organized in my seed box. I imagine I will be shopping here again in the future (if I ever run out of seeds lol). I have already told several people about this site, because I am honestly pleased with my experience thus far. I look forward to seeing how the DollarSeed business grows (and of course my garden as well)! (My order number is #8111). | |

from Pittsboro, NC Posted on May 13, 2020, updated May 13, 2020 I am so glad I found a source of good, clean seeds that appeals to my pocketbook while giving me the small amount of seeds I need for my home garden. I hate spending several dollars on too many seeds in the bigger packets and end up throwing most of them out. I just received my order, so I cannot comment on the germination rate of the seeds, but they all look clean and great and I can’t wait to plant them in my garden. On May 13th, 2020, PBOgardener added the following: I just saw my bonus free seeds for oakleaf lettuce! My first order (#8276) came quickly, the correct seeds I ordered, AND free seeds. |
