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! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |
Neutral | Lbgardener (1 review) | On Oct 23, 2022, Lbgardener Fort Wayne, IN wrote: 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 :) On Oct 23, 2022, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: "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.

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.

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." |

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 Aug 2, 2022 2:38 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with: 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." |

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. |

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. |

They have a great selection to choose from, the packaging was very organized, the price is fantastic, and the seeds came quick! I cannot wait to get these little seeds in the ground. Thank you everyone at DollarSeed for putting everything together, and keep up the awesome work!!! Will definitely be ordering again when I need more seeds. :) :) :) |

Positive | Seedcollector10 (1 review) | On Jan 5, 2022, Seedcollector10 Rome, PA wrote: 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. |

Positive | tkhamby (1 review) | On Sep 12, 2021, tkhamby West, TX wrote: 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. |
Negative | mammaTJC (1 review) | On Jul 25, 2021, mammaTJC Pittsburgh, PA wrote: 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. |

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.

We do our best, and now have 6 full time employees and 2 part timers to try to keep us caught up." |

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. The seeds are clearly marked with the name and number of seeds in each bag. I was pleasantly surprised to find a free item included, which I am grateful to receive. |

Thanks for the complimentary package of lettuce seeds. They will go in my Hydroraft setup. 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. The coronavirus and the effect it is having on our country's morale and economy is mostly why I've started gardening. It's a stress reducer and a way to provide for family and friends during all this uncertainty. I look forward to planting all the varieties I received and watching them grow. |

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 -> [HYPERLINK@www.paseseeds.com] 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.
