Site Sponsors Question
#26473433 - 02/07/20 08:24 AM (4 years, 10 days ago) |

Yes, I know this is the wrong forum/section, but, for reasons defying understanding, I DO NOT have posting privileges to the Sponsors Forum for like another 28 days. So I will post any sponsor questions here, in the hopes they can be answered BEFORE this thread is MOVED to a forum I can't yet post in.
I am considering several vendors, and I am not sure if all of them are site sponsors, which presumably means that you guys all trust them more than random sites on the ol' Intrawebs.
I would like to procure a few hundred Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds (Hawaiian Strain) and these are the vendors I am looking at right now:
-Avalon Magic Plants (Good prices, but never heard of them)
-World Seed Supply (They are here in NY, which is cool, but prices are somewhat high compared to some vendors I have seen)
-Gaiana Entheobotanicals - Best prices I have seen, but not sure about their international shipping rates
-Shaman Garden - I ordered 50 seeds from them a week ago. They were reliable, but the most expensive I have found.
-Traceplants.net - A little better prices than Shaman Gardens, but still high.
Any other suggestions?
Note: If you are a vendor, and this thread is moved, I will respond to you in PM or I will circumvent the posting rule by EDITING this first post to respond to you. I seem to be able to edit the posts in my thread that was originally moved there yesterday.
Edit: According to Google Maps, World Seed Supply is permanently closed. Anyone know if this is true?

You could always try eBay. That’s where I get mine from.

I think they come from India. In other words the real deal.

Thanks ft116! Do you have an ebay vendor you recommend? LMAO answer quickly before my thread gets moved to the Sponsor forum and I can't respond.
(Wow, I am really in a passive aggressive mood this morning )
Edit: By the way, I forgot that a few days ago, I did a search on eBay for Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, and only ONE seller came up, which was for a live plant. So do you have anyone you recommend?
Edit:2 By the way? A little message to all the vendors who pay this site any sorts of fees to be Sponsors: you really ought to take a look at how a sincere, new user like me is being stonewalled, unable to post in the Sponsors Forum. It should give you pause, and if I end up ordering from non sponsors, BLAME the people who run this site, to whom you pay your fees. (and the passive aggressive from me continues lol)

You posted after I edited my post above, ft116. I have done searches on eBay, and all I came up with was an ebay page for a live plant. No Woordose seeds.

Search for the Latin name. “Argyreia nervosa” Or something like that.

It certainly did, thanks. One question, though: There are a lot of strains of the HBW seeds, and I want to make sure that I get the Hawaiian Strain, since it is reputed to be the safest and has the highest LSA content, per seed. None of the ads I found specify. Any suggestions.
Okay, two questions, actually, I assume that Elephant Creeper is another name for Hawaiian Baby Woodrose?

And you gave me a lot of help thanks!
I just found an eBay add here:
eBay Woodrose ad
$12.72 USD for 50 grams with free shipping from India. I sent the seller some questions. I want to make sure these seeds are untreated. I think its the DEA here in the US that used to have seed companies coat their HBW and MG seeds with toxins to stop people from ingesting them! I'm not sure if other countries do it, too, but I asked the seller if these are treated or un-treated. I also asked the seller if they are the Hawaiian strain, since one lone customer of his gave negative feedback, saying he was sent the African strain. I am waiting to hear back from the seller.
Thanks again!
If anyone else wants to chime in here with answers, it would be much appreciated.

Use the sponsors, they deserve your business. Up at the top of the page, hover your mouse over "Home" and then click on "Sponsors" from the drop down. Use one of them.
You're also likely to get ripped off if you use someone who isn't a sponsor. Using ebay is a good way to get ripped off and have your ebay and paypal banned.

I absolutely applaud your sentiment, and I will try to support the site sponsors, especially if I intend to stay and be part of this community. Seems only fair, even if it means paying a little bit more. However, can I just point out one little flaw in your reasoning? If you get ripped off on eBay, you’re not going to end up with your PayPal account or your eBay account suspended. The cops don’t arrest you because your house just got robbed is all I’m saying. Also, I have made thousands of purchases on eBay, and while I have at times not been 100% satisfied with the purchase, I’ve never been completely ripped off, except once, and PayPal refunded me, they didn’t ban me. Thanks for the response, though, I agree with you for the most part about using sponsors.
As always, thanks again for your answer, ft116!
By the way, speaking of the sponsors, I have a question. I tried to get in touch with world Seed Supply, because they’re located here in New York, and the shipping would be probably very quick since they are local to me. The prices are a little high but, they are a sponsor of the site. So I would be willing to give them a try. However according to Google maps, they’re permanently closed, and I checked their page on this site, and it looks like they haven’t posted here in a while. Does anybody know if that company still exists?

This thread has been closed.
Reason: World Seed Supply is very much still in business, and all of our sponsors are vetted and reviewed on a regular basis. Unfortunately, while I can totally understand why you would want to ask about non-sponsor companies as well, we do draw a line against non-sponsor discussion, in order to preserve the value of our sponsor's advertising dollars, because their financial support is what keeps this website and community online. While not perfect, we feel like this is the best compromise, rather than having to flood the site with additional (non-vetted) affiliate links or more intrusive advertising.
