Comments regarding WorldWise Garden Seeds

In march of 2003 I ordered and my visa was charged $28.95 for seeds I ordered. I e-mailed over 20 times with no answers. I e-mailed different addresses that was posted on the site. No answer. In aug.2003 I did get one reply saying that there was a mix up and no one was paying attention to the address I was writing to and that they were very sorry for the mix-up. They said that they had moved and they were having financial difficulties and would I wait a bit and they would send my seeds!!!! I answered back that I just wanted my seeds and to send them... that was the last I ever heard from this company. I have tried probably another 20-30 times with no reply... I think that says it all. NEVER EVER TRUST THIS COMPANY!!!!!THEY ARE CROOKS AND HAVE NO INTENSION OF HONORING ANYTHING THEY PROMISE... it is really to bad, this was my first experience of ordering or planting heirloom seeds. My garden sits still empty. I hope I can find an honest company to help me with what was to become my new hobby. I was so excited to see what my daughter and I could grow... I guess we all learn hard lessons in life, too bad there are people like this, oh well...

I ordered seeds from this company & did not receive them. They would not reply to numerous e-mails until I reported them to Yahoo shopping. Then I got an immediate response, thanks to Yahoo, who investigated. Thanks to Yahoo complaints department, I received my seeds along with a gift certificate. Then I received repetitive e-mails from Worldwise asking me to write a good letter to Yahoo.
When I tried to redeem the gift certificate I only got half of the seeds - they said they were out of the rest. Thereafter they would not respond to my e-mails. As I did the first time, I sent e-mails to all addresses on their web site. All the seeds I received did not germinate, & they would not honor their seed germination warrantee. I found this company to be extremely dishonest & deceitful. Even if they would start selling again I would not trust or buy from them again. They lie, steal your money, and go on to to the same thing with the next unsuspecting patron.
The last time I had problems with Worldwise so did many other people who complained to them. They quit selling during the winter, saying they were taking a much needed rest. After they came back I noticed the complaint posts on this site appeared. They take cooling off periods and come back the next year and still lie & steal patrons money.

I had ordered some seeds from this company in 2002 with good results. I placed another order on 6/3/2003 and have never received the seeds. I have filed a complaint with the Cleveland BBB. I have left e-mails, voicemails with no response. I tried to fax them today but the number is out of order. Why is the area code an AR area code for their fax if they are located in Cleveland OH? I cannot get a regular address for them to send them a certified letter informing them I am filing a VISA dispute. Luckily, I'm only out $25. I see others are out a lot more. Please don't risk $$ with this company!!!

I had ordered seeds early this year, paid $28.00 for seeds that I never received, when I e-mailed them about seven times, each time they came back with lies and lies, they always have problems, the phone company and than something else. Lied to me telling that I should have the seeds by now, a couple days later they admit that they have not send it yet but soon. What a buisness. I have a saying: "GOODNESS IS REWARDED AND SELFISHNESS IS PUNISHED IN THE FINAL COUNTING" Please don't trust this company.Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

I orderered from them in the spring and had positive results. Now, that I ordered from them again in late June my check has cleared the bank and the seeds never arrived. I am having difficulties getting responses to my e-mail. The last e-mail I got said to be patient as seeds take 7-14 days to arrive, well it's been a lot longer than that since I have ordered the seeds. I am beginnig to think all they did was take my money and have no desire to make sure I recieve the seeds.

I am very unhappy with this company.

I ordered (and paid for) seeds from them on ebay which they never delivered, nor have they refunded my money. I have contacted them several times and they did acknowledge they had never sent the seeds. I trusted them to resolve the issue, but they did not do so during the time limit I had to resolve it on ebay. When I requested a refund, realizing they had no intention of sending my seeds, they stopped answering my emails.

Now I am out the money and the seeds and cannot even leave feedback to warn others.

However... if you are considering doing business with this company, check out their feedback on ebay as I am not the only one who has had this problem with them.

I do hope that the Garden Watchdog will allow this report on this site as an alert to unsuspecting buyers, as, defined by Federal law, this is a fraudulent act.
