Baker Creek Heirloom SeedsReviews of rareseeds.com

Baker Creek started out as a small, responsible company with quality, hard to find seeds but has turned into a large business with high prices, questionable seed and an online advertising campaign that has swamped my computer, filled every other site I enter with flashing pop-ups and general made doing business with them an unwanted, distasteful chore. There are plenty of real seed sources out there.

I had no problem receiving my order. But I was not impressed with the seed germination rate. I doubt I will order from them again.

Got 2 seperate and invalid tracking numbers (one DHL and one USPS) and no response from customer service!!

Order never received AND the post office said the tracking number I was given is bogus. And there was no other link provided. THANK GOD I USED PAYPAL and could get a refund!!! I wish I would have researched them before wasting my time. Lesson learned.

Horrible company!!! DO NOT BUY from them! They will not reply to you nor will they give you a refund. I got my order but only got two seeds in one of the packet. This company should be reported as a scam! These people take money from you and then run!

Absolute train wreck. My wife is a knowledgeable and experienced gardener who knows what she is doing. Placed a substantial order with Baker Seeds and without exception ALL the seeds she planted were a complete failure. Total waste of money, time and lots of effort. Avoid this company or prepare to be greatly disappointed.

I have been buying Baker Creek seeds for at least 12 years. Their seeds are consistantly healthy, fresh and viable. The price is reasonable, the shipping is free, and their catalog and selection is amazing. Even the seed packets are beautiful. Many times I have called to ask growing questions relating to my area, or ask for a suggestion of a varieties that would do well for my zone and have always had the customer service reps be friendly and helpful to me. The growing season is short here. Since I grow a garden to feed my family, I need quality seeds that will produce food. Baker Creek has never disappointed me.

I placed my order 10/21. Nearly a month later and still no seeds received. Wrote to Customer Support in late October, they advised me to wait another week. Did so. Still no seeds. I want to say, the heck with it, it's just $10, but hey, I worked for that $10, and you didn't keep your part of the bargain. I've emailed again, but no response from them as yet. Shoddy business practices.
