I ordered seed from this company April 1st and after three weeks, they still hadn't arrived. Emails to them inquiring about my order went unanswered. Finally, a phone call revealed that they never had the seed to begin with and couldn't get it. Very poor business practices displayed by this company and one that I will never trust with an order again.

WARNING - THIS SEED COMPANY - SEEDS BY SIZE - SENT THE WRONG SEEDS AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A REFUND.

We ordered Early Cascade Tomato seeds from this vendor to resell the seeds. Seeds by Size sent us the wrong seeds. Several of our customers reported that the seeds produced a small cherry tomato several months later after the plants produced tomatoes. We provided Seeds of Size with photos of the tomatoes the plants produced. These photos were sent to us by farmers and nursery growers who grew the seeds. Even though we sent the photos, Seeds of Size said that that wasn't any proof at all and would not reimburse us for the incorrect seeds that was sent to us. They used every excuse, even that maybe the seeds were irradiated by the US Post Office and that's why the seeds produced cherry tomatoes! We should have been cautious in purchasing the seeds from Seeds of Size, as no one else in the entire seed industry had the seeds. Later we found out there was either a crop failure or the hybrid seed grower who grows the seeds didn't grow the seeds this year. Seeds of Size informed us his seed supplier who sold him the seeds grew the seeds himself. When we asked Seeds of Size what two tomato varieties the supplier used to grow the hybrid tomato seeds, we received no reply. Apparently the small seed supplier who tried to grow the Early Cascade Tomato seeds used seeds they had saved from the prior year, and did not grow the seeds using two or more varieties, thus would explain why the seeds produced a cherry type tomato and not a 4 oz size tomato. It maybe that Seeds of Size just sent us the wrong seeds! We will not purchase from this vendor again and would recommend others to buy from them as Seeds of Size doesn't abide by the standard seed industry policy to reimburse the customer in full if the product doesn't produce what was described on the pack! We contacted PayPal about the problem and made a complaint and they are investigating this company to decide if any action should be taking by them! We apologize to all our customers for this problem. We take take this problem seriously. Companies like Seeds of Size hurt our reputation as a quality seed supplier. We eliminate these suppliers as we find problems with them. We should make note we purchased another tomato variety from Seeds of Size and the germination rating was very low. We found the same variety from a reliable seed supplier in the US and resolved the problem. Again, Seeds of Size refused to refund us for the lot of seeds that had a low germination!
