The poppy seed market is so inconsistent now. The turtle simply can't control his quality. And how would the turtle know they are organic? Does he pay a lab to test them? After they buy a batch from overseas they are stuck with it and pass it on. I'm not sure of the motivation of this complaint, but it is true, sometimes there is this chemical, bitter taste. I say fook all these dishonest half ### poot-butt vendors that have sprung up. I remember when Tasmanian alkaloids was $100 a 50lb bag and were better than anything now. But people kept posting about how great TA was, so they started washing them to the point of flavorlessness. For $2 a lb why go anywhere else? Well, the gap that has been filled by 20 or so scam artist selling either washed, steamed, worthless Turkish, or fake red seeds that are not Pap. Som.. I quit for these reasons. Who knows how much toxins I ingested from my 2 year stint. I was straight poisoned by POPPY SEED DREAMS, and weaver. Not to mention the last 2 batches from the greedy turtle "turkish special reserve dogsheet" were a 6 out of 10 scale. I decides to try one more time and got the "Taz special reserve #2" which were mid grade as well. With no refunds on orders over 5 pounds. And the turtle website always claims a "new" batch that is a 10 will be arriving next week. LOL greedy liar. Go ahead pay $10 a pound for mid grade possibly treated seeds.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Allow me to first say that Poppy Seed Dreams is an outstanding & professional company who really do care about their customer's experience.
I actually got to know them pretty well back in 2015 when we were all both living in Santa Monica, CA and they even allowed me & a couple of my friends to ride along with them one day to tour their cold storage warehouse out in L.A and they also never made a seed purchase unless their stock had passed all agricultural purity tests. Through the years I have learned that Katherine & Poppy seed dreams have established great connections & relationships with suppliers/growers from coast to coast who have been in this business before most of us were even born!
I began purchasing from them back in 2013 when they were based out of Austin, Texas. And they really raised the bar & began setting a new higher standard for this business (and mind you we purchase each week) and in all those years my friends & I have honestly had only one order which we were not happy with but never in our years of purchasing from them did the seeds/product ever make me or my buddies ill in any way. That posters claim is not only harsh & filled with hate but completely untrue. I cannot recall ever hearing of anyone who got ill (Just) off of a condiment or barbecue sauce, etc...Unless they were already three sheets to the wind Drunk! and/or mixing things And I understand that this 'guy' may not even be a customer and perhaps may even be some other competitor who can't stomach any comp. from them or TNT, etc...Needless to say if you go to a restaurant for many years on a regular basis chances are you're going to get a bad meal once in a blue moon..It happens. And most people also know that there will always (unfortunately) be variation within the same seed lot from year to year so it's likely that this guy may have just gotten a bad bag. Nature is not perfect by any means.
And I have no idea who weaver is but it sounds like this guy may in fact be the one who has a problem as it's certainly not poppy seed dreams. I understand this post is now over two years old but poppy seed dreams has been so good to us for years now which is why I & my friends will always back them up & have much love & respect for them. I came across this post and I just couldn't stand by and listen to such nonsense. Katherine works around the clock! answering our emails & taking care of us and even on weekends which is practically unheard of. They are extremely dedicated to their customers and have nothing but love & the most respect for them. There is no easy business out there in my opinion and this is certainly not an easy business either since much of the product quality depends on the weather from year to year which is completely out of our control. Poppy seed dreams has worked hard to earn our respect over these past 5 years or so and we should all try to keep that in mind. Hope to see you all back out in Santa Monica Soon! Troy C.
Nice shill post
[censored]. I ordered from them and they immediately started harassing me with emails. What is your residence? Is it an apartment? Why no apartment number? Then they said they would ship on the 3rd day after I ordered. When I reminded them that it says ALL OVER THE WEBSITE SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY SHIPPING, THEY DELETED MY ACCOUNT,REFUNDED SOME OF THE MONEY MIT ALL AND SAID I COULD NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN! I was shocked. I tried to apologize and buy again but they refused. Accused me of harassing and threatening them. They really accused me of threatening them. Not normal [censored] these guys
Yeah they suck they are [censored]
