Smeegol Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Good afternoon everyone. I thought I'd share my atrocious customer service with GreenSmokeRoom seed bank here in South Africa. It's non existent.... The product I want is for breakthrough pain management when I don't have oils or edibles. The person I have been dealing with is Jordan.

Longee Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 That is beyond a piss take. I am also hear from others about how bad their service is and now to see it in writing like that is shocking to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 It's sad but true, at least others will see how the treat customers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat999 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Exactly the reason not to buy some dick wods like that. If you order a burger at Spur and some asshole brings you a fucking salad, will your dick be erect?! No it will fuckin not, now why do you think he'd want anything other than what he asked for. Green smoke is a joke, go take a wank. The majority of SA seedbanks are jokes Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Good evening @GreenSmokeRoomSeeds and all the other guys and gals..... So as you can all see I had quite a go at the GSR team about their service and I wasn't happy at all... Skip a month or so and I was looking for " Shiva Shanti " and " Snow White " so I found myself looking abroad to order when I decided to go look at GSR and see if they had them... After enquiring and being told they were available for order I weighed up the pros and cons I won't lie as I was worried about what would happen this time round as I'm still waiting on a uk order which hasn't arrived and no ones got any answers either as tracking parcel hasn't moved the day it arrived in SA.... So I went ahead and ordered with GSR and purchased my order the same day, I was told their was a 6 week wait on the order as its comes from abroad... No problem there and the waited started....haha But I didn't wait long as even with the post office episode @Jordan @GSR team kept me informed as to what was going on with my order...... And tonight I recieved my email to say Im the proud daddy of those seeds and I'll be seeing them this week....haha I know I wasn't the most pleasant of customers maby...?? But thanks GSR team and thank you Jordan for putting up with emails and dealing with me personally..... Kind regards Hoochy.....

SkunkPharm Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Haha... Sounds like they had their hands full. I have bought from them before and had quite good service. I bought local stock though. Keep us up to date with the germination rates on these, please. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks for feed back guys, my lucky streak has been solid so far this year and I reckon I'll be golden with this too but hey ho let's see how they do..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hemp Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would also stay away for now until you see more positive posts, that story was just too hair raising and the apology a little unsympathetic. For some oke that wanted to get stoned maybe....meds, I dunno. If it was my company I would have donated those beans to you for the run around of note and pain caused. There are a load of scammers out there and more to come, like that asshole Gareth Picton and all his businesses.

Breadinator Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The seeds i am currently growing came from GSR (local held seeds). Had to follow up on them 2 days after making payment as the order was still stating pending, after which they investigated, received seeds 8 days after payment. Below is how I received the package, obviously tampered with, seed packets (not original breeder packs) were also opened. Brought it to their attention and their only reply was: "Thank you for this information,We fully understand your frustrationsWe are looking for a new courier" I really hope the seeds I have planted are the same as what I ordered!

Totemic Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Make no mistake. Plenty of the genetics around are off shoots from dutch. What makes strains mediochre is all the chucking. The Fem industry is also to blame. Finding a good female and then just feminizing seeds is really damaging the gene pool. In the long run its the guys who are building strains and line breeding, picking out the gold from the normal that brings out the best in cannabis. I dont work on much but have been culling off hundreds of plants in my persuits. Persuits that have made me smile as I see the results year after year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG420za Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I was checking out this thing on cannabis tissue culture a while back. All the big players use that process instead of conventional cloning. Pretty interesting stuff.

SkunkPharm Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi Guys, l have been watching the posts here and was quite apprehensive to buy again from GSR. But the deals on Friday was really good. So went ahead and bought. I looks like they did change there courier service from DSV to Fastway. I recieved my seeds this morning. No issues with the delivery. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
