Comments regarding chileflora.com

Michail has an enticing list of valuable and hard to find Chilean seeds, however you're unlikely to ever see them.

When I ordered I submitted a small lot seed permit for importing into the US, and asked about shipping with it/confirmation, etc.

No reply, but a month later I get a USDA notice that a package from Chile was intercepted and destroyed (no permit).

Contacting Michail about it, he said he'll re-ship another time with permit. Never saw anything in the mail, no package/notice.

I understand it's a bit of hassle to print and attach the permit stuff for the US, but then maybe just say you won't take orders from the US in the first place and save the trouble of carefully ordering/paying/having seeds destroyed.

On January I reached out to the owner with a question, there was no response. Against my better judgement I decided to make an order in February, the order went through instantly and I had a receipt emailed instantly. it is now April and I have heard absolutely nothing and received absolutely nothing, BUYER BEWARE!

I will edit this review if I receive my seeds or the seller has any good explanation for this shady and unkind business strategy.

I placed an order Dec 20th. Received order confirmation but never received notice it was shipped, never received seeds. I've emailed 4 times since January but no reply.

It appears the website hasn't been updated since August of 2021? So maybe they went out of business?

Almost no germination rate. Disappointing.
