Seed Guarantee

Our germination rates are the best standard of seed quality for our diverse customer base. We want you to be successful growing our seed. In order to achieve this, we regularly test our seeds for viability and germination. In addition, we have a dedicated compliance officer responsible for verifying that we comply with applicable seed laws. We are regularly inspected by multiple state and federal regulatory agencies and we have taken the Safe Seeds Pledge by the Council for Responsible Genetics.

Many factors influence the performance of seed such as temperature, light, water, weather, storage and the skill of the grower that are out of the control of Seeds by Design. In other words, a grower can cause high-germination rate, viable seed to fail. Nevertheless, we guarantee all our seed for 30 days from the ship date and will accept returns on seeds for any reason for 30 days. If a portion of seed is returned, we will accept returns on a prorated basis. See below for details. We do not accept returns on seeds after 30 days from the ship date for any reason.

Non-Seed Products Guarantee

We guarantee all other non-seed products for 30 days from the ship date and accept returns on these items for 30 days from the ship date. We do not accept returns on any products we sell after 30 days from the ship date. For some non-seed products we sell, the warranty is provided by the manufacturer past 30 days. In such cases, we will assist in contacting the manufacturer for warranty support.

Gift Card Guarantee

All sales are final for gift cards.

Return Procedure

We guarantee our seeds and non-seed products for 30 days from point of purchase. We do not accept returns of seeds or any other products for any reason after 30 days. Non-seed products must include all parts and original packaging to qualify for returns.

 

Please follow these steps to initiate a return:

 

1. If your seed fails to germinate based on its unique requirements, or you are having issues with other products, please contact us immediately so we may be of assistance to you and attempt to resolve the issue without a return. We have experienced growers on staff that can help you with trouble shooting. We ask that you have the lot number that is on the seed label attached to your bag of seed on hand when you call.
2. Contact our customer service department within 30 days for authorization for returns. We do not accept any returns unless they are authorized by our customer service team. You can contact customer service by phone during regular business hours, or by email. (530) 438-2126 info@seedsbydesign.com
3. Customer service will provide you with all the necessary instructions and details for returning products. Returns must be received by us within 2 weeks from the date of the return authorization. Returns received by us after 2 weeks are not subject to refund. As an example, if you contact us on the 29th day to authorize a return, your products are eligible for return, and you will have an additional 2 weeks to make sure we receive the product.
