GBLong-term customer, mostly good experience I have been a Park Seed customer for well over a decade and have experienced mostly favorable results. They offer a wide variety--that is what keeps me coming back--that and habit, I guess. I like buying smaller amounts of a wide variety of seeds because storing them long-term does compromise germination rates, but the tradeoff is higher price per seed. In one order a couple of years ago, I discovered that the bell peppers seeds I paid for did not arrive, and contacting the company got me nowhere. Other than that I have always received what I ordered, so I just wrote off the loss and ordered seeds again from them the next year.

GBPackages do not contain # of seeds stated on package Park Seeds package some of their products on the light side. Packet 51946 Zinnia Zahara Sunburst had 16 instead of 25 seeds. Lot # PA1708( The rest I Can't read) Seed Origin USA 1/3 less of what should be in the package Packet 51989 Zinna Candy Mix had 42 seeds instead of 50 seeds Lot # TM17050015. Seed Origin England. Significant shortage. Also the cucumber seeds did not germinate that well. Probably would have had the same or better germination rate from the local store. Disappointed in this year's packaging of seeds. Will definitely think twice about ordering next year

GBBad seed quality & selectively publishing reviews I ordered different seeds from them and the overall germination rate was very poor. The worst ones were the super sugar snap peas: out of 30+ seeds planted, roughly 80% ended up rotting. The ones that ended up germinating looked weakly and eventually died off. In contrast, I also bought snap seeds from two other companies and the germination rate was 100% & speedy. This means that the issue was with the seeds specifically ordered from Park Seeds. I submitted a review on their website and I'm more than certain they will not be posting it publicly. I only see 5-star reviews for all their products, with several years apart.

GBBuyer beware! Horrible customer service! They make promises, quickly charge your credit card and then come up with all kids of reasons why they can't deliver. I've been told that certain items on my order are on back order for weeks and they can't send out a partial order.I also received an email stating certain items (which I didn't even order) are holding up shipment. Total RIP off!

GBI experienced the worst customer… I experienced the worst customer service and order I have ever experienced with a vendor this spring. Mary Jennifer Johnson did nothing to correct Park Seed's mistake, was extremely rude to me on the phone, in email and in voicemails, repeatedly called me a "sir", even though I am a female. We didn't even get an apology for her not being able to fix the mistake or refund us the money that was due back to us. Will not be ordering from you again. Terrible business practice. Unacceptable.
