i haven't dealt with them but do peruse vendor seed sites often and i found egarden prices to be, well, stupidly priced. check out the butchT $17 for 10. or bishop crown at $9 or $12 for tepin. i just harvested 7 tepin pods and got 53 seeds, 2 pods coughed up 11 seeds each, compare that with datil or other varieties that deliver few seeds,even some of my bhut pods delivered less then 11 seeds per pod at 40 times the size. a couple of bishop crown pods will easily fill a cup and are easy to grow. even their shipping pricing is off.
Hi all!
My name is Jessica and I own eGardenSeed.com. I just wanted to address some of your questions/concerns about us:
1. You are absolutely correct. We are a small, family owned business. We are based in Colorado. We get a lot of our seeds from local growers but we also buy seed from growers all over the world.
2. Our prices are based on our packaging and labor costs etc. We hand pack every pack of seeds. While I do agree you can certainly find cheaper prices--you may also be finding cheaper seeds.
3. We take GREAT pride in serving our customers and in offering honest, quality business relationships
4. We actually did not write our own review on Dave's Garden. Unfortunately that was when we first started our company and we had a family friend ask to review our seeds as they had grown many of them. They did not have a computer at the time so I brought my lap top to their house. Obviosuly I have since learned about IP addresses and have never done that again! Funny (and sometimes unfortunate) things happen in small family businessess... and that was definitely one for us!
Anyway, if I can help you firther or if you'd like ot know more about our company please ask. I always appreciate your feedback/suggestions etc.
All the best,
Jessica

I feel obligated to question your argument, so please answer the following 2 questions:eGarden said:
1 - At home, how does your laptop get on the internet. Do you plug it in with an Ethernet cable? Do you connect it to home wifi? Do you subscribe to some sort of nationwide wifi service that you use? At the family friend's house, what method did you use to get on the internet?
Those of you who know what I am getting at, please don't elaborate on what I am getting at—Her answer should be genuine—not scripted to get away with something.
I was going to say give this company a pass, looks like they did that once in 2009 and probably stopped. Heh. But here they are denying it with something implausible. Man. Now all of those reviews are in question.
Some people don't know how to run a biz. Could of just said yeah we did that because we didn't want to have 0 and we learned our lesson. I like honest people.

I'm not waiting for the OP's reply to my post, but if she joined the forum to defend herself, she did a lousy job of research. eGarden - FYI - IP addresses are assigned by the Internet service provider—they have nothing to do with individual internet connected devices, such as your laptop—So if you traveled to your friend's house with your laptop, it would not have had the same IP that it had when you originally posted from your house—SO, your story leaves a bit to be desired.
On the positive side, you joined to get a better reputation for your business, so at least you care about your business.

Welcome to the forum
and let's start fresh.
I recently placed a order through eGarden and so far I'm pleased with everything. I only ordered 2 types but they were one of the few places that had my Scotch Bonnets available (so they said, currently on back order..12/16/13) I did also order some Fatalii peppers (12-2-13) from them and received them within 10 days well packed.
Although I'm not fond of being surprised with something being back-ordered I'll give them the benefit of doubt and will update this when I receive them.
I'll give anyone a chance on a sale as long as they follow through with their promise of delivery, which in turn means future sales from me and word of mouth.
What I received from them so far.... The card(3x5) on the bottom also has growing instructions and tips on the backside.

Your prices should be competitive. $8.90 for bishop crown seeds and $9.90 for Trinidad Scorpion seeds, for example, are way too high. Hmm, I'm not sure why the black pearl seeds are 11.50. People can buy a black pearl plant for cheaper. The prices are ridiculous.
Edit: $15.25 for bhut jolokia seeds?!?!? You can't say it's because of quality. People can buy them from The Chile Pepper Institution for 9 bucks, which I think is overpriced, but they have top quality seeds.
Edit again: $17.50 for 10 Trinidad Butch T. seeds? I'm sorry but that's not fair to people! I think you should look at your competition and come up with realistic prices.

The Jamaican Yellow Scotch Bonnet Chili Peppers in the pic look like c. annuum. I dunno if those were the ones you wanted. I bought some like that myself. I knew they were not true when buying them though. Still a cool pepper. The "Jamaican Hot Chocolate Scotch Bonnet Pepper" is not a Scotch bonnet either.

I didn't misunderstand slick, you simply left a statement after quoting "my Statement" which gave the appearance that it was referring to my words. (and I did leave a lil winkie guy
there to let you know I was only teasing.)Regardless, you have a awesome day and a Safe and Happy Holiday!
