Worst company I have ever dealt with through online purchasing
I ordered seeds from this company on 2nd. February - their order status page shows the order as still awaiting shipment. I have sent three messages over the last month and each time I was told the seeds were about to be dispatched. The last one of these gave a Royal Mail tracking number - but this was not recognised on the Royal Mail system.
In my latest two messages, I have asked for the order to be cancelled and the amount of the total order refunded. The company has not even attempted to respond to these emails.
The net result is that I am out of pocket and I have received no goods whatsover.
The next stage is to contact my financial card supplier, report this transaction as a fraud and ask they seek repayment on my behalf.
If this fails, I will be taking out a county court judgement against this company to obtain repayment and costs for having to do so.
I can only give a one star review - if I was allowed to, I would give them zero.
If you look at the statistics on this page you will see that this company has only ever responded to 7% of negative reviews. Compare this to companies such as "Justseed" - they have responded to 100% of negative reviews within 24 hours. I suspect these positive reviews are not what they claim to be - there are so few of them - whereas the majority of reviews are extremely negative.
My personal recommedation is to avoid this company. I do not know what their issues are - I don't know what their business model is - either way, their ability to take payments from anybody should be suspended. I advise you not part with your money - you will regret doing so.
(Further to writing this note I have carried out research about this company via the UK Government website. In contrast to the company name, the company filings show that this business is operated by one person - the company director - from a house in Nuneaton. The company has made "micro entity accounts" filings in three recent years - which state that the company has zero employees, and turnover and assets that wouldn't even pay an pensioner's annual salary. I advise you to go look up these statistics for yourself. However their product is sourced and packaged - which I don't want to conjecture on here - the person running this "company" is not making much money at all. At best, it is a "hobby" or maybe they are using the limited company status to somehow offset "revenue costs" from elsewhere. So I do now accept why the communication with this one single individual is so poor).
Further information - I have edited this entry as recommeded by Trustpilot following a claim of defamation by the owner of Seedmegastore. Thank you, Trustpilot for your advice.
Subsequent to all of the above, I have now received an email from Seedmegastore suggesting that my money will be refunded. This has not yet happened, and I promise I will adjust this entry once it has been.
Update: 12/2/2025 Refund received. Thank you. This ends my interest and any dealings with this company.
