DollarSeed is growing with you in so many ways. Our site has had a few complaints about bad graphics and a lack of features on our low end store, so we decided it was time to do a little growing up ourselves. We've hired a group of programmers and graphical designers to make it the best it can be, and still keep our seeds at just $1.00/Pkg. Keep your eye on http://www.dollarseed.com as we implement this whole new shopping experience. You can preview the new site as it is being designed at http://50.22.14.181/

| Positive | juhur7 Anderson, IN (Zone 6b) (8 reviews) January 19, 2013 | Seeds are pretty good , those I have started so far... Nice little free gift of pen and seed '
All arrived quickly also , a real pleasure... |
| Positive | jchapstk Baltimore, MD (1 review) October 2, 2012 | This is my second season with Dollar Seed. Met them on Twitter. Have found the company to be fast, reliable, inexpensive. Good selection of seed - always improving what's available. Great instructions and how-to pages. Didn't have any problems with the seeds last year, no complaints from the receipients (gifted many seeds). Where I got to see the results, they were great (herbs, leafy veggies). Excited about trying them again this winter for my indoor garden. |
| Neutral | RiverNymph the Mountains, CO (Zone 4a) (3 reviews) April 11, 2012 | So I've been on the search for quality seeds at a budget price for a while. Nice to see that every one feels this company has quality customer service straight up. But has any one actually had any SUCCESS with their seeds yet? Company representative comment on April 11, 2012: On Apr 11, 2012 11:57 AM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with:That was kind of unfair. We have been selling seeds since 2010, and no one has said word one about our seeds not growing. In fact, we had a complaint recently regarding the germination rate of our garlic chives, and proved that it is better than stated on the package as we receive them. 95% to be exact. We are a small seed house, so our seeds are always fresh, unlike the large corporations that save seeds from year to year. In fact, we donate all seeds packaged for any particular year to the Cornell Cooperative Outreach Program to teach school aged children to learn sustainable living practices. |
| Positive | JMKM1976 Hornell, NY (16 reviews) March 14, 2012 | So, I searched all of the places I usually buy seed from locally for the brand of seeds that I have purchased for about a decade now. None of them seem to be carrying them this year! In any case, I refuse to purchase Burpee seeds, which is what is polluting the seed racks in every strore I went to! In nearly 20 years of gardening, Burpee seeds have never performed very well for me, and I don't want to pay $1-$3.50 for 10 or 15 seeds either, especially when my garden is massive!
Anyway, I found DollarSeed on Dave's Garden and the reviews were very good. So, I placed a fair sized order for about 20 varieties of seed and one of the vegetable garden collections. I have to say that I am quite impressed with the seeds, all seem very firm and of excellent quality. I have expereince in seed saving and have been poking seeds in the ground all my life and I honestly expect that germination rates for this seed will be excellent (or very close to it).
Most packets and varieties have a pretty good seed count, though not the peas and beans, next time I order, I will be looking for a jumbo packet of peas and beans as I plant two 20 foot double rows of each, but for this year it is fine as I harvested about a pound each in seeds last year from bumper crops I didn't get to in time (so I let the seeds mature instead).
All and all, I think I have found a new seed supplier, one that isn't stingy with seeds, and by the reviews here, isn't likely to "disappear" either. The shipping was very fast (less than 3 days) and reasonably priced as well at $5. Company representative comment on April 11, 2012: On Apr 11, 2012 12:19 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with:Okay, this was a fair complaint about seed counts for those packages that contain large seeds. My aim is to provide the typical home gardener with more than enough seeds for their home gardens. In this regard, I have changed the way our vegetable seeds can be purchased. Now you can buy a simple package aimed at the home gardener, or my all new bulk packs which contain 5.5 times more seeds at a savings. Thank you for your support, I take all customers seriously, and will do my best to address any issues. |
| Neutral | bako New Castle, DE (3 reviews) March 9, 2012 | Add a payment method (American Exspress, VISA..). Only Paypal is just not enough. Best wishes, Bako. Company representative comment on April 11, 2012: On Apr 11, 2012 12:09 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with:This one baffled me. I contacted Paypal in regards to this complaint, and here is what they said: "Mr. Moffitt, Paypal accepts all major credit cards, bank debit cards, and electronic funds (e Check) transfers. We have enclosed a new graphic for your site that shows the "Blue" American Express card, though all American Express cards are an acceptable form of payment. Thank you for your inquiry. Respectfully, The Paypal Team".
Should anyone have a problem with purchasing from our store, please use our "Live Chat" and talk directly to me: David Moffitt the store owner. If it is offline and red, your questions or comments will be emailed to me, and I do respond to all wishes and concerns. |
| Positive | pfinParisMI Paris, MI (1 review) February 23, 2012 | Read about the company in a blog - thought I would try a few seeds - They arrived quickly 5 days including half a weekend. Great prices & I cannot wait to put them into dirt - Dave sent bonus seeds and a sample of fertilizer. Thank you :) Company representative comment on April 11, 2012: On Apr 11, 2012 12:26 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with:Free seeds are a norm to be expected with every order. I wish I could say the same for the Osmocote fertilizer samples, but that was a limited time offer due to a limited quantity given by the Scott's company. However, every order gets more than just what they order. I am presently enclosing a brochure for Green Prints Magazine, and can send this to anyone for a SASE #10 sized envelope. Just mail your requests to"

| Positive | tbs727 Springdale, AR (1 review) January 26, 2012 | This seller excels in customer service. He loves what he does and the products he provides and that comes through during your entire shopping process. The seeds look great, the shipping was super fast, and the overall process was wonderful. I highly recommend Dollar Seed! |
| Positive | wufflespring Yoder, CO (Zone 5a) (12 reviews) November 8, 2011 | Nice selection of seeds, easy ordering/checkout experience, super fast shipping, free seeds, great company to order from!
Luckily I ordered when they had their sale on so I got an amazing number of seeds for only 80 cents per packet! I'll update this review after germination tests! |
| Positive | ArizonaBorn Dalton, GA (6 reviews) September 9, 2011 | I am absolutely impressed with the number of seeds provided for just $1.00!!! Delivery was prompt and I like the way the seeds are packaged and labeled. Thank you so much for the free seeds for ordering. I know I will be ordering again. Now, it's time to go plant some seeds!!! |
| Positive | Aquanewbie Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (2 reviews) August 18, 2011 | Ok I have to admit, their site looks like a total scam. Bad graphics and stuff like that, but for a dollar for echinacea seeds, I couldn't pass the chance. The seeds came promptly and came with free seeds. I will definitely order again. Usually i'm turned off by seed companies that charge more for shipping than they do for a packet of seeds, but shipping is cheap here also. Please support this company, cuz i want to do business with this new and growing company for years to come. ;) Company representative comment on February 23, 2013: On Apr 11, 2012 12:39 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) responded with:Okay, let's take this one step at a time. Yes, my graphics are terrible, and I admit it. Can I do better, probably, but why should I? My goal is to give a quality product, with huge seed counts, for as little money as possible. I'd rather spend my time putting together seeds to meet order demand, than to spend it playing around with graphic programs.
The free seeds are something that will come with every order, and I strive to not give you the same seeds for free for which you just purchased. I want you to try new varieties, with the hope that eventually you will love them and purchase some at a later date.
The shipping charges are a totally different matter. If you buy less than the $5.00 S&H packaging, then I have to purchase the bubble envelopes, and the label and postage to ship them to you. Sure, sometimes the actual postage isn't the same for what you pay. Please take this part into consideration though. If you buy enough packages to get the $5.00 S&H price, I pay more than that in postage alone to get them to you. As of today, the price of sending a small box USPS Express is $5.15, though I only charge $5.00. The low end (small count) buyers helps defer these costs. When someone orders more than $75.00 worth of seeds, I cover the cost, typically $10.30 for free, USPS keeps raising their rates, but I simply refuse to pass those costs onto my customers. Thank you for choosing DollarSeed.com as your garden seed supplier, and your feedback is always welcome. On Feb 23, 2013 10:07 PM, DollarSeed (Dollar Seed) added:Every good business has to decide at some point in time, that the customer is always right. This one definitely was, and has caused me to re-think the design of the site. You can see where the new site is heading by visiting http://50.22.14.181/. This is just a temporary site, that I honestly believe will relieve these issues. Hired programmers and graphical designers are expensive, but I believe this is money well spent. |

| Positive | irishgardenlady Hopewell Junction, NY (Zone 5b) (1 review) April 1, 2011 | Very appealing website and very nicely packaged. I received the seeds April 1st and ordered them March 29th. |
| Positive | Joanne Mentor, OH (1 review) March 28, 2011 | If this company can show such a high level of care in the simple act packaging seeds, well, it shows the integrity of the business as a whole. I was impressed. |
| Positive | sweetsue922 Leesburg, VA (1 review) March 8, 2011 | I'm very pleased with how quickly my order was filled and shipped! Thank you for the superior service!! |
| Positive | Celina86 New York, NY (1 review) February 22, 2011 | I am extremely pleased with the high level of customer service, which was rendered to me and how quickly the seeds arrived. When I had a question, they were quick to respond. I was awed by the quality of the seeds, after receiving them. I will definitely recommend, Dollar Seed to my friends in the future. |
