Comments regarding DollarSeed (Dollar Seed)

Dollarseed did not mail my order. 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.

We are not out of business. 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. CrownPC@Yahoo.com"

I'm hoping this page is the same as dollar seed. I placed an order in mid-July but still haven't received it. 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.

Yes, we are DollarSeed which is a Registered Trademark. However, many others have tried to use our name in vane, hence why we paid lawyers to register our business as a Trademark. 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."

Unfortunately I had a VERY BAD experience with them. 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

Hello
This is the 3rd time I am following up on my order without a response. As you can see from the screenshot below, my order which was placed on July 15 (17 days ago) is still in 'Received' status. The lack of fulfillment of this order and zero response to my repeated emails is pretty unacceptable. I need you to confirm the date by when this will ship out by end of day, today. If I do not receive a response I will be submitting a fraud claim to my credit card company

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."

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 feel that Dave isn't a very mentally stable individual, nor do I feel he is very knowledgeable about gardening.

I kindly emailed him to ask about the specified cultivar of Clarkia that is directly stated on the website. The picture of his Clarkia does not match what the cultivar "Mountain Garland" Clarkia should look like. He quickly shot back a passive aggressive response stating he isn't sure what "misled me to believe" that his Clarika was "Mountain Garland", and that I was mistaken. The way he articulated his email was like an angry arrogant child. I kindly informed him it was directly listed in the listing for his Clarkia seeds on the website, and even shot him over a screenshot from his own website. I then got a rambling passive aggressive response stating that I somehow didn't understand the process of cross-pollination and that this some how had something to do with why he was denying that his variety stated on the website was "Mountain Garland". Excuse me, what? This has nothing to do with misrepresenting a variety and then denying that you even have "Mountain Garland" listed on your website. He said he merely copy and pastes descriptions. Oh, I see. So he really has no idea what he's doing, then. Nor does he know much about the plants he's actually re-selling from other more dedicated companies who are actually PASSIONATE about the seeds/plants they cultivate and grow.

It either is or isn't that variety. I didn't need a childish response like this. It was a simple question. His response was incredibly immature.

It doesn't end there. Next, When I asked a simple question of how he acquires his seeds (from where), and kindly asked if he grows or collects his own seeds; he again, responded like a child, rambling on and on about how he couldn't POSSIBLY have the time to manage packing seeds and actually growing his own plants. Seriously?

Wow, excuse me for being curious as to if the owner of the company actually grows and collects their own seeds. You know, many seed companies do, so it shouldn't be so shocking that a customer would inquire about the source of their seeds.

I don't think I want to purchase from this company ever again. David seems like an over grown man-child sitting on a high chair who probably rather hang out on a computer all day as an internet addict re-selling some one else's seeds rather than get his hands dirty in the soil and spend more time learning about the actual seeds he's selling.

I prefer to purchase seeds from some one who actually speaks/writes like an adult and whom is actually experienced in gardening. That said, glad every one else was happy with their seeds. Personally, I have to believe in the company and know they are passionate/experienced in gardening. Seeds from an online troll is not what I had in mind..

Wow, was that awful harsh. Did you know that I can\\\'t post my own reviews, as I am the owner of this company? These are real reviews. The reason for the high number, which include the actual order numbers, was because we were running a contest at the time.
Back to the main subject, which I did explain in the email I sent to you. We purchase our seeds in large bulk quantities from major seed houses throughout the US and repackage them manually under our own brand. Our site even tells this in our about us section.
All of our flower seeds come from one source, and that source is the one that provides us with the needed description of each variety we carry. They also provide us with the pictures that represent their products.
As for me not getting my hands dirty? Wow, is that so far from the truth. Before we even started this business, I ran market gardens. Our little stand was representative of 32 large raised beds that we grew almost 100 different vegetables from. Those vegetables were sold at harvest, garden to table. Much like you would find at a Farmer\\\'s Market.
You are welcome to go look us up at \\\"The Human Flower Project\\\" where we started by giving away over 10,000 free packages of hand harvested and Marigold seeds, prior to kicking off our opening in 2010.
And yes, cross pollination can cause a variety to not grow true to form.
We know we can\\\'t please everybody all of the time, but just this year alone, we have pleased 10\\\'s of thousands of gardeners, and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Thank you for your opinionated review. Not everyone will read it. Hopefully many that do will understand you are just a disgruntled gardener.
