Order never arrived yet because they’re tracking # said it was delivered the refuse to replace my order. It wont be the first time the postal service screws-up. I have no needs to lie about $50.00 worth of seeds. eBay would not back me up. I requested that they call me by phone to sort it out and they refuse. PLEASE be cautious of companies that don’t list their address or phone number for customer service. I hope those seeds are return to them so they can reflect on how the acted. |

I had a few problems with them, most notably that out of the ten or so types of seed I ordered, only two (basalm and clarkia) germinated). |

I ended up with some other kind of plant that is not even any kind of morning glory instead. I think it may be in the nightshade family.The one seed I germinated looks kind of looks like an eggplant.Delivery was very slow. It was a very lightweight package of seeds, yet the postage was more than $2.00. I do not believe this was an honest mistake and I recommend you avoid GROCO. |

Their statement under my initial comment is a lie, and though they responded to my comment on Dave's Garden, they have never contacted me. On April 25th, 2010, Janes_Gardens added the following: In response to lleejohn, I believe in giving everyone a second chance and I like to support companies that are small and American owned and operated, and that is why I ordered from Groco Seeds again after my first experience. Just because your experience with Groco Seeds was positive does not mean that my experience with them didn't happen. My experience with Groco Seeds is 100% accurate and true and as of this date, they still have not responded to ANY of my emails that were sent in the past. They are not perfect and in my case, they have been a horrible company to deal with and have used their positive rating to fall back on. After all, I'm just one of a few people they have exhibited this behavior with. Just because they don't have more negative comments doesn't mean they haven't treated other customers as they have treated me. Some people just don't do business with them again and don't bother to comment. On Apr 25, 2010, Groco Seeds responded with: "On Jan 18, 2010 2:33 PM, Groco Seeds responded with: GroCo Seeds sells top quality seeds that are all germination tested professionally by major seed producers. We sell at such low prices that we cannot replace seeds when a buyer is unable to grow the seed due to circumstances beyond our control. |

I had MUCH success with MOST of the seeds and have even just had to pot some of them up. Thats being said, a few seed types (datura, dicetra, alstromeria etc) did not germinate at all and when I contacted the company to inform them and ask for replacement seeds (I REALLY wanted those bleeding hearts) I was rebuffed in a very condesending fashion. When I had a problem with Park's seeds, I was sent out replacements the next day. To be talked down to in such a fashion was very disconcerting, especially with the fact that I've got over 200 (literally) seedlings thriving in the sun room. Thier prices were exceptional, but the customer service is why I won't be buying from GroCo again.
