“Scam!”

Scam! Don't waste your money and time. I ordered the seeds online from here and received the package from China 3 weeks later. My package seeds were all wrong except for one item. However, I'm not sure even that item is correct because single petunia and double petunia seeds look the same. The numbers for all each items are also incorrect. This online store address is in the US the seeds are from china.

This US (China) online store is a scam. I ordered geranium seeds and there actually other kind of plants!
The description from the package is written
In mandarin. So unprofessional!
I send them an email to request the money back and they never answer!
Don't use this website!

This company has a US address on their site so I bought 3 amaryllis bulbs 12.99 each. The bulbs got to my address after 6 or 8 weeks from China. No name or color in each bulb. They are very small I emailed them but no respond! This website onlinebuymore.com is a scam! What a waste. From now on I only order from reputable US companies!

These so called "bulbs" come from China. What I received are some kind of micro seed. NO bulbs! Elephant ear bulbs are 7-9" and these are 1/8". Don't know what they are. If you try to get monies back, good luck!

Hello I had ordered some seeds back in May. Not one of them sprouted. I placed some in pots, I tried them directly into soil outside, and some in damp paper towels. I waited for a couple months nothing came up so I used the remaining seeds and tried again still noting came up. I have grown brugmansia before with no problems. I'm not sure why none of the seed sprouted.

Bought a new variety of hosta seeds. Turns out to be weeds. Didn't know I was buying from China. Very disappointed. Thought I was buying from the USA. Took over 3months and I then asked for a refund which i got (took another month). I received the seeds at the 5-month point but there not Hostas. I will throw them in the fireplace as I don't want Chinese weeds in Canada.

Tip for consumers:
DONT. Just DONT. Canadian government needs to step in as these seeds could hurt our agro biz.

Ordered flower seeds 12 weeks ago. Still haven't received them. Contacted the company and was advised to wait another week(3 times). They also blatantly REFUSED to even entertain the thought of a refund. Said I didn't "qualify". WTF?

Don't fall for their advertising they are scamers, I purchased specific type of seeds from them (myrciaria dubia/ camu camu), they thought I didn't know how they look, and yes, after 45 days I got a package with the seeds to realised they sent me green olives dried seeds, I knew it straight away, but still took them to the nursery close to my place and they confirmed not only the type of seed, but how useless are the ones I got. So after nearly USD$14 I just got scammed by this unscrupulous people.

Tip for consumers:
The company never bothered on answer any of my emails is complete radio silence

I ordered product from the company June of 2020. I purchased Multi-Varieties Hosta Seeds, Perennials Plant Seeds, 100 pcs/pac. I paid $11.98. I sent the company an email last year regarding when I would receive my order. I never received a response. I put my paperwork away and just ran across it today. I tried to call the number listed on my order no one answered the phone. I am in the Midwest and their address shows they are located in NV which is two hours behind my time. This company is not holding up to their promise by not responding to my email sent last year. I do not recommend anyone to deal with this company because they are a scam.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site. I believe them to be a scam. Never received my product, they did not respond to my email nor did they email as they indicated they would shortly after I placed my order.

Products used:
I never received the product. Though I thought I would receive it in the fall since the seeds were for Hostas.

Website looks good and professional with address in America. Seeds sent from warehouse in China. Took weeks to get my order. I ordered 5 different packs of seeds. None were anything like they should have been. Reported to PayPal and sent them threatening message saying you tried to con me with seeds that were not what I ordered. Got refund into PayPal account very quickly which I did not expect. I thought I would have to kiss good bye to my money. They did not ask for proof or evidence that they sent me the wrong seeds. Probably as they already knew. I am a keen gardener and I know what the seeds I had ordered should look like. Avoid at all costs. Not worth the hassle. Ordered 5 types of geranium seeds got 5 packs of seeds that look like okra seeds. The second photo is from their website and is what I ordered. Would have given them no stars if I could.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use this website. Looks good and I was taken in by it.

I thought this company is from US as it had the US address but the post comes from China.
Already 43 days in transit and still no sign of delivery.
Have been following up and no response.
I asked for response, nothing, nada!. Terrible.
This site should be taken down.
I lost my $45 AUD from these scammers.

I never buy seeds from outside the US. This company has a US address on their site so I bought the seeds. Then I got a shipping confirmation from CHINA POST. The seeds got here and it's obvious they are all fake. Trashed them all! What a waste. Better to order from reputable US companies that you know of.

"My experience with company is positive. Shipment from China was fast, communication great. Good job!" - this was my original review after I got my shipment. As I was trying to sprout and grow some of the seeds I've received, I found out that they were not what I paid for. I tried to sprout ferns (which most likely were plantain seeds) and despite following all online advices to the T, I got whitish mildew mass. Had to discard them. Next step - to sprout seeds of strelitzia reginae or bird of paradise seeds. Again went through a lot of online resources, as no directions had been provided with the seeds. 60% germination rate and later on a plant, that is difficult, if not impossible to identify. It is not the bird of paradise by any means, but some kind of local weed, sent all the way from China. Shame on supposedly USA company, preying on and ripping off innocent consumers! Filed claim with PayPal. Paid $33 for what? Disgusting!
Attached photos showing weed plant, I grew from the bird of paradise seeds and original shipment of seeds, minus ferns and strelitzia, which I tried to sprout/sprouted. White labels with handwriting on seeds packs - my own; you just get seeds and piece of paper. Check marks on paper - my own too, for inventory.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE IT! PERIOD!

Products used:
Just ferns and strelitzia reginae seeds, other 5 packs of seeds are intact.

I should have read the reviews before buying. Everyone has had a bad experience. They take your money and then nothing turns up. You send emails to get a refund and nothing happens.

I think they are a FRAUD. BEWARE!

I ordered some blue daisy seeds and some Corpse flower seeds. Corpse flower seeds are actually pretty large, but the seeds I received are the exact same seeds as whatever the tiny blue daisy seeds are supposed to be. Total scam. Absolutely not corpse flower seeds.

SCAM - OnlineBuyMore sells fake seeds. I ordered two varieties of Hoya seeds. I'm not sure what's growing. The plants are different from each other and the leaves are not shaped like Hoya leaves. The seeds are fake. Hoya seeds are long and slender, like a small grain of rice. The seeds I received are round.

They also have many varieties of items like blue roses and rainbow roses, and blue tomatoes (they don't exist).

Tip for consumers:
Do not order from this site or other sites from China or elsewhere that are trying to sell you plants that don't exist in the real world.
