Man this is strange I've been dealing with SB since they were SD and have not seen this.I ordered 10 fem paradise seeds acid a killer strain but only got 5 viable seeds and a lot of crunched seedshell.What a bummer.I've never had this problem in over 10 years dealing with gypsy.Has anyone had a similar problem lately?I'd have put this in the paradise seed forum but there is none.

Yeah, I was supposed to test 2 strains for Chimera but all the seeds were crushed when I got them....it sucked man, but I didn't want to complain because they were testers

I think it's the little plastic binder that causes the problems,if it's not put on extremely carefully then it could easily crush the seeds if they're not all neatly sitting in a line at the bottom of the baggy/envelope.

Only crushed seeds I've ever gotten were shipped within the states.

As for those testers...
The breeder & the mods need to know so that you don't get dinged and eliminated from testing in the future.

If anybody gets crushed seeds...
It's time to change up shipping methods and/or containers.

If the seeds are becoming crushed in the binders then somebody needs to be a bit more careful when they insert packages into binders.

attitude's jubilee promo a few years back, someone had obviously deliberately crushed several of the seeds before stapling them together on a card. i remember other people bitching about the same thing.

so if you guys hired someone who used to work for attitude, iiiii waaaaaaannnt mmmyyyy gooolldeenn llleeeggg...

I have gotten that plastic binder thing since the old days when you could order with cc too, and never a problem. It seems crush proof, but also prone to damage if you rush and don't take things out carefully and cautiously. Maybe that's what happened? I have had crushed seed sent from private people but never from bay/boo, lost plenty of money that supposedly never made it but that was always more than made up for, but not crushed seed from anywhere where I had to pay for it.
