Nope, production and quality of work is everything.

this is copy and pasted from a thread.this site thinking
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!

the customer is always right. maybe its just because i have self respect but if someone talks shit to me i dont give them money i will walk out of home depot for someone being rude hell i might get taken away for 30 days on a petty assault charge. i see where your coming from but if i dont like someone im not gonna support them. for instance i hate monsanto so i dont buy general hydroponics nutes or gravitas lights. "i know thats not exactly the same thang but i never give up a chance to point out monsanto products." i guess my point is do you, but ill be damned if someone is gonna talk down to me and me to be grateful for the privilege fuck that. no hate towards you ken dog all love just my feelings on it theres no reason for anyone to be rude or condescending even if they are doing you a favor or not.That's usually the way it works... The customer insults the vendor, and the vendor don't put up with no shit so he fires back at the customer... And the customer thinks the vendor should kiss his ass. So... The customer complains.
money is power if they treat ppl like shit and you keep giving them money then they'll always treat ppl like shit. if every time there rude that person takes there business elsewhere they'll learn a lesson plus theirs a billion other seed banks i recommend bodhi their gear is killer.Well like I said, being rude is never Justified.
I just don't feel like cutting off my nose to spite my face...If I want something, I want it regardless of how the person treats me.
But hey, depending on my mood, I'll say fuck it as well.
I agree but the rudeness was unneccesary.What I mean is you should appreciate the fact that he is even willing to sell you any seeds at all.
I agree with the owner of the company... He doesn't need anyone's business or their money.... He's doing everyone a favor.
Right?!? GMO'd seeds is what those are. SELECT your phenos ppl! SmhBreed life! Respect.
I mean who buys feminized seeds anyways?
you pay money for something that someone gives you or after the fact then owes you because you oaid them for their service or whatever. The. There are no favors the fuckers owe you. Just like when you buy seeds and they dont send you shit. Thats not a favor by any assholes means. Thats bad business and they owe you. So when you go to a vendor and lets say purchase some beans. They dont have to sell it to anyone sure, i agree... They could give it away"favor" and you dont have to buy it sure. But they do sell it in return usually for a fee"money"= am exchange of business. Not a favor. We need not get the two confused from their root actions.What I mean is you should appreciate the fact that he is even willing to sell you any seeds at all.
I agree with the owner of the company... He doesn't need anyone's business or their money.... He's doing everyone a favor.
