I got the same rude customer service too that whole company should be shut down the guy even abused my other half so not professional at allHere is another review to add to the list, i ordered a 5 pavm of white cookie seeds from crop king only to find out their gwnetics are complete trash, germinated 3 seeds and as soon as i plant in coco/perlite they stunted and had absolutely no growth, afyer 5 days i checked, nothing.. called their customer service and the guy tried to tell me you can only plant germinated seeds in potting mix, and proceeded to say peat pellets, rockwool cuves, and coco cior are trash, the guy was extremely rude, refused to send replacement seeds. Will not reccomend this seed bank to anyone!
I've been dealing with CropKing Seeds (Vancouver) for over 3yrs now (over 10 varieties) now - including free seed replacement for a mixed-up order (they let me keep the seed they mistakenly sent). All my dealings have been as expected. I'm Canadian however, and I use Interac (debit) NEVER a credit card (as most are US based and US domestic security agencies can easily track your cc expenses. Offerring a different experience here. I must agree, however, that is exceptionally rude for a Canadian service rep toward you! I don't know who owns the company but now I'm interested - time to do some sleuthing...seems as thought this company has a problem with americans!
this is copy and pasted from a thread.
What's up my fellow growers.
I hate to make a posting like this but I felt I had to do no one else runs into this problem.
Last night I was making a order from Crop King Seeds.
This morning I got a phone call saying someone was using my card in China. Now CropKing is in Canada. Over all my transaction was declined because they could not process my card outside of the USA. I forgot.
But here is the part of the story I want you to hear. I talked with Lisa on the web chat to ask what was up. This is how the talk went:
Lisa
Hello Jon. How may I help you?
Jon
I just tried to order from you last night and this morning my card was said to be used in China shopping mall...
Lisa
9:11 am
Jon... understand that most seed companies don't even allow credit cards for AMericans
tell your government to change the laws
Jon
Kind of upsetting this has never happened to me before and your website was the only one I have used
Lisa
then tell your government to change the laws
or pay cash like 50% of our customers
Jon
That is not a very friendly response...
Why the hostility?
I would be happy to use my paypal if you accept that payment
Lisa
because Americans need to understand that we are actually doing you a favor
you are not even allowed to order seeds
let alone use your credit card
Jon
Ok. At the end of the day money is money... Why does it matter who it comes from?
Lisa
correct
Jon
I am not understanding the hostility for Americans that you have?
Lisa
it is your government
they set the rules
and the rules say "you are not allowed to use a credit card or even buy seeds"
so we break these rules for you people
Jon... I am very busy here.
what is your question?
Jon
Your website seems very friendly but I don't understand the hostility to me because our government.
I am sending you a msg because my card number was somehow taken from your site and used in China
And you are on the subject of our government..
Delivered
And after that point she closed the chat.
So it seems that CropKing has a problem with Americans Unhappy
I honestly thought it was a valid question I was asking... But I was met with hostility.
Just be warned people please. Business is business there in no way should anyone get a response like that. Even more so when they said there company is based on "word of mouth".
LiquidJade
he later went on to say this
Update:
Just now got off the phone with the "owner" of the company. Said his name was mark. He is the largest seed guy in the world!!!
Anyways. I was informed he was doing me a favor in even taking my phone call. He stated that he was so busy with orders that he does not care about my order he needs less orders because of his demand. It's bad business I think. I am just letting the growers know.
I don't know guys...
Honestly that is not the response I was wanting to get...
if you want to read the whole thing go here
spread the word people!!!! this is exactly the kind of people we don't want running the market!

Yes, I exposed it on instagram that they use stolen images from other people’s website on there strain. They stolen the Grandaddy purp image from Nurseries in California. Seems like nobody cares anymoreAs someone who's been growing pot in BC Canada for 20 years I can tell you that Crop king is a shady company with garbage genetics. 99% of what they sell isnt even what they say it is. I swear it's like somebody came a cross a 55 gallon barrel of bagseed and decided to start a business stealing peoples credit card numbers.
Don’t buy anything from BC bud depot they just hand the order off to another company and you don’t even know where the seeds came from or the origins of the strain or anything. Seeds are weak and immature. They are now a big rip off and no good company for cannabis seeds. Won’t even answer the phone when there is a problem.seems as thought this company has a problem with americans!
