So this is all just my opinion, take it with a handful of salt...

In the US we have a certain expectation of service when it comes to businesses. This is not always justified, imho.
We want quick response to inquiries, fast shipping, etc. The industry standard is shipping next business day or maybe second business day.
That said, other cultures or people with alternative value systems might look at things differently.
I won't say one is better or worse.
There are a couple small businesses in my area that do their own thing. Randomly close for a day or two, sell out of certain items... but they are just doing things their way, in a way that serves their interests.
I know Caleb from Csi mentioned vacations on the Potcast. Maybe after harvest they are taking some time off...

Keep your emails with them cordial, be respectful, and wait. If you don't hear anything from them in a few weeks, I'll send you some of the Mango Biche seeds I have. I'm pretty sure I could spare some if your order never gets sorted out. Mine we made from TLT stock by a member from a different forum.

When you sent the money tracked, I think your supposed to email them after you send it with the tracking info.

I've never had any issues ordering from Csi.
I'm sure once you get ahold of someone they will get you sorted out.
Oh im always respectful in emails, even the times i have gotten screwed. Im happy to hear all the positive feedback though. How did the mangobiche from TLT work for you? I hear such mixed reviews about those guys that ive never actually ordered from them.
They charge a pretty penny though. I got quoted at $270 for the Corinto. Insanity

No worries buddy you've done nothing wrong. Yeah i contacted them through the site. They never got back to me and i checked the mail today
Maybe im jumping to conclusions. I just know i would operate a seed business my own way and follow up with customers would be my first priority. I'll just wait it out i guess. What else can you do
I sent my money on the 21st and got my package last night. thats like 2 1/2 weeks.
He should have sent you a confirmation email of your order and another with a tracking number for your package by now though.
all you can do is send him proof that he received your money and wait it out.
best of luck

I have almost ordered the mangobiche and Burmese a few times. But I already have a seeds problem and need to grow more than I buy for a few years. Looking forward to a grow and smoke report already.

I got the notice that the order was being processed so i know my payment arrived. Who knows
When i ordered from Underground Seeds they said they would send a notice of shipping and a tracking number and they didn't do any of that. I just got my seeds in 6 weeks in the mail

Did their mangobiche turn out good for you?
I said I almost ordered it. So far I have only ran their turbo diesel and it came out good but nothing I wanted to run long term. I have several packs in the stash. Probably grow a few of the dogshit x panama soon and bubba x pck. I ran a few of the pine tar Kush also. Nice plants. No keepers. I used a male (stinkier than the 4 girls) on a few things I cannot remember off the top of my head.

So far the Mango Biche are doing well. A few weeks in, started flowering under10/14 light cycle. Those and the Thai from Ace are the most sativa growth type out of everything, along with one Jamjam (Doublejam). Really slow to get started, and maturing very very slow.

I got them as a reproduction for free from a different forum member, I certainly wouldn't pay that much. That's crazy. Anything over 100 is too rich for my blood. Even 100 nowadays hurts.

So ive never ordered direct from them myself either.

Yeah theyre expensive. That combined with the fact that i find it hard to believe the one bank can manage to preserve 200 different landrace lines from five different continents. He must have some serious connections. But it seems like they're atleast legit from the threads ive read. Post up the grow report on the mangobiche thread because id love to see how they turn out. I'll certainly pop mine if my order arrives

:LOL: and a notice of shipping and tracking number in my inbox this morning. I guess my impatience got the better of me. I'll edit my original post. I still think they have a crummy business ethic but atleast they came through eventually

I'm glad you are getting your seeds.

Not sure what the hold up was. But you could always offer to pay for a new employee that keeps things up to your standards. Or just remember not everyone has a lifestyle the keeps them checking their email every day. Maybe they were in the garden.

Its just so easy to send a few word email. I mean they got the payment and mailed it without ever even getting back to me
Im grateful they came through though

For me one of the joys of growing for a living was being the least professional as I possibly could. If they were having a giant sale that could have been hours and hours of packing envelopes and sending emails. If not days. I wouldn't think anything of it. Great customer service in the land of self employed stoners is you getting your order. It's not any different than when my favorite local taco shop closes for a few days unexpectedly. Their life, their business. We should be happy for their ability to not adhere to some made up standards.

Holy shit!! I should have just shut up and listened to you guys. So many free seeds. its hard to grasp. Not only my mangobiche but every other sativa strain I was interested in and I really like the way they package them. Is this normal for them to do?
Or is this some going out of business thing? Either way its very generous
I'll send them a thank you email tomorrow. No response from them needed✌️
