Questions or Complaints Concerning Germination

We recommend that you first simply consult the internet, or any other reliable horticultural source (ex. your area Ag extension agent, local master gardener members, etc.) to properly gauge the scope of the situation. Most often, dissatisfaction with germination stems not from crop failure, but from either:

  1. Unrealistic expectation of growth and bloom cycles (example: expecting grass seed to germinate in a few days and perennial flower seeds to produce blooms the first year)
  2. Failure to plant according to prescribed procedures and season (example: planting during risk of frost/drought, or simply scattering seeds on an unprepared site without turning over the soil, etc.).

If no satisfactory answer can be achieved through these channels, please contact sales@swellseedco.com for further assistance. If you remain convinced that the viability of the seeds you planted were somehow defective and that no honest explanation for the problem can be ascertained, per approval by our customer service department, we will offer you a choice of either:

  1. Store credit for the price paid for the item
  2. A replacement of the product, free of charge
  3. Refund for the full amount paid for the item in question

 

Mislabeled Product

Although a rare occurrence, seeds could be mislabeled due to simple human error during the packing process. If you believe that this is the case with your order, please notify sales@swellseedco.com as soon as the problem has been detected and attach an accompanying photo to an email to help us better understand the mistake. Once a mistake is acknowledged by us, the customer will be offered their choice of either:

  1. Store credit for the price paid for the item
  2. Refund for the full amount that you paid for the item in question.
