Cactus Kingdom is great

Cactus Kingdom was very fast and helpful with online questions and responded in 24 hours. They have a great selection of cactus and succulents. Found some very rare and exotic species, seeds. They shipped fast and they arrived in good condition. And they were viable and exactly what I ordered.

Great experience!

Shipping was relatively fast given the circumstances (Canada post strike). Got high quality seeds, waiting for them to germinate as we speak! Will buy from here again in the future 👍🏻

The payment system was a little wonky but my biggest complaint is that the order was shipped December 18 and as of January 2 it is still not received.

Hi James, we have been in contact and reshipped your replacement seeds out as promised some days ago as this order falls under our shipping guarantee. We tried to reach out, but haven't received a reply back. If you’ve now received the cactus seeds, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could update your review to reflect the completed delivery. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re here to assist if there’s anything else you need.

Thank you for your understanding.

Seeds were sent fairly quickly from ordering and received them in a timely manner, only wish I didn't have to do tracked shipping for them but it is out of their control due to postal strike.
