Buyer Beware! Green Brothers Hydroponics = SNITCHES!!!

[BigBill206]

BUYER BEWARE!!! I ordered a grow light from Green Brothers hydroponics on ebay. They shipped a large adjustawing hood in the original sunlight supply box. Zero discretion. After leaving them a negative feedback on ebay I got the following reply:

"Police have been notified that you are a marijuana grower. Good luck. Seriously.

- greenbrothershydro"

THEN they left this feedback message for me:

"Marijuana Grower Looking for Discretion in Shipping. Already notified police."

What kind of grow shop does this?

You have been warned.

Here is their website: http://www.greenbroshydro.com/

Their brick and mortar is here:

14072 Osborne St
Panorama City, CA 91402
(818) 891-0200

P.S. If you don't believe me, do a google search for these guy's ebay page and look at the feedback they have left for others. You will clearly see that I am telling the truth.

Also, I will upload a screen shot of the ebay feedback here in case they revise it. (below)

P.S. I'm 100% legal and under my limits so don't be worried about ol Bill. This is just a heads up to not do business with these low lifes!!! I wouldn't snitch on my worst enemy, that shit crosses the line!

P.S.S. Out of over 100 mail order deliveries of hydroponics nutrients and/or grow equipment this has NEVER happened prior. So, please don't lecture me. I'm just trying to lookout for my fellow growers.

As far as buying grow lights and ballasts new....www.plantlightinghydroponics.com is the tits. When I do buy from ebaY...these names have been very reputable:

bulkhydro
hydrosource
pokerpro
sunflowersupplies

there are a few more....but all of them have been discrete....quick...and courteous.

I'm with pizza man, PL Hydro has the cheapest prices, ship quick, discreet
and never a hassle.
got the wrong item, they told me to keep it and sent what was needed the next day.
i really try to not do anything on Ebay unless it goes thru a 3rd party


those greenbastards are some arrogant mofo's,
i doubt they really notified LEO but there's no call for shite like that... period!
wish we could let em know thousands of IC'ers and the online cannabis community
will not do any biz with em on Ebay or their store.
really, if people walking in their store or on ebay knew they tell the cops if you complain
they wouldn't be in biz very long!

that feedback on ebay is permanent, they can't remove it

I will never use ebay again for things of this nature. However, I have had many great experiences with eastwesthydro, plantlightinghydro, growco & ehydro and will continue to endorse and use them.

I'm experiencing a bit of a roller coaster ride with this seller right now. When I pointed out that if I contacted sunlight supply and advised them to view the feedback green bros hydro left for me on ebay which contains the "m" word, that they would most likely not be a distributor for sun supply anymore they smartened up a bit. So I thought.

They offered to refund me for the light and remove/revise the feedback they left for me in return for me removing the feedback I left for them. I initially agreed, however today I got an email from the seller stating that ebay informed them that seller feedback cannot be removed. Well then they have no way of making good on the original deal and said deal is void pending renegotiation, right?

I told them if they can't remove my feedback I'm not removing theirs! My 11 year ebay feedback record as a buyer/seller and respective paypal account is clearly as much if not more of a consideration than their ebay store that has been open for less than 30 days and has 7 feedback. This is reasonable thinking right?

I'm honestly not that worried about them reporting me to the police because I am 100% legal and squeaky clean. Of course I'd rather avoid the experience but if it went down I don't think much would happen other then a minor inconvenience followed by an excessive improvement with my mild to moderate paranoia issues that virtually every grower suffers to some degree or another.

It's pretty obvious to me that this seller has much more incentive to indemnify me than the other way around. Oh yeah, They claimed to have just been bullshitting about reporting me to leo. I actually believe them. I guess that's kind of important to mention. Only time will tell. These screen shots aren't going anywhere. I can decide to end their ability to distribute for sun supply with one email. That's a lot of leverage.

The only wild card in the equation that I see is their stupidity to not correctly asses the situation. If they are dumb enough to break rules 1 AND 2 back to back they are definitely unpredictable.

Will update when it's over. It's not over yet.

Thanks for sharing, glad your medical and not fearful of the lame threat made by that seller.

Keep us informed...

 

[Arthritis_sucks]

wow, they have an actual storefront lol. My minds runnin wild with ideas.....thanx for the heads up.

 

[FlowerFarmer]

Damn.. messed up stuff.

You're playing it cool.. If that was me they'd be seeing the brick and mortar version of my ebay alias real quick.


A bunch of stupid kids or what? I'd be certain you speak with the owner of the shop if you havn't been already. Owner might not even know he has some assholes running his store/web biz..

You know that is an excellent point. I hadn't even considered that. I will call tomorrow and see what I discover. I'll let you know. Thanks for the great insight.

Will do brother. Thanks for chiming in. It's an honor to have you join my thread as your, "blaze one up hits the dirt" thread completely changed the way I grow a few years back. I'm 100% amended soil + plain water/molasses & light teas these days and getting great results. Cheers.

Hey FF, that is quite a distinguished blumat grow you have in your signature. I'm just about to set these up for the first time myself. Got a few of the patio kits, some extra tubing, spare plastic parts + Botanicare 40 gal rezies to elevate. I'm using 1 x 40 gal rez per 9 plants in 5 gal net pots. Hoping I can get 4-5 days worth of hands free watering from this system once I get it dialed. I was planning on running two regular sized carrots per pot, but I just read you think 1 per is ideal up to 5 gal. so I have some thinking to do now. Thanks for your post.

LOL it's all good brother, thx for letting me know though.

 

[Bobbles]

Wow, thats fucked up. Boycotted. Forever.

 

[Guest 88950]

what did you find out by contacting the owner?

 

[headband 707]

We know here in Canada the cops set up shop right accross the street from all the grow shops so they don't miss a trick and they have cameras. They also have ppl at the Home Depot and other large dept stores where you might buy supplies because that info always shows up in the courts that the police put a tracker on so and so's car when they saw them purchase large amounts of soil.It's easy pickings for them .. I would never get anything online but that's just me except seeds .headband 707

 

[cvssufferer]

WOW - Thats some bad sh**

My friend has ordered stuff on ebay in the UK before and i have warned him about these type of horrer stories I have read about...........never seen one so bad though tbh!

Bet your relieved your legal...in the UK the grow would be coming straight down...along with their hydro business I am sure!

 

[OldSSSCGuy]

Hope you left them negative feedback yourself! Negative feedback on Ebay is a semi-big deal now.

 

[TribalSeeds]

You should not be willing to revise feedback for sellers like that.
Other people need to know what your feedback was
Ebay would have removed their feedback comments since theyre not allowed to leave negative comments with a positive rating.
I cant believe that you implied this was resolved to your satisfaction!

 

[OldSSSCGuy]

Yes, what TribalSeeds said. You also have the right to report them as posting libelous and false information to your feedback. Stand your ground and deny, deny, deny - and blast back at them for being scumbag liars.
