Do not purchase Charapita and Yellow Biquinho…

Purchased Charapita and Yellow Biquinho seeds last year. After waiting what seemed to be an eternity for them none of the supplied seeds have successfully germinated.
I have attempted to improve the chances by changing seedling soil as well but absolutely no success.
Very disappointing.
First time, last time.

Many varieties of seeds completely…

Many varieties of seeds completely failed to germinate. When I reached out I got no response at all.

Neil sold the company and the quality has completely dropped. I wouldn’t waste your time or money with Hippy Seed Company now.

Don't bother from NZ

Unfortunately have to agree with the other review - Ordered in April and nothing ever showed up. I didn't receive a message from customs or anything so no idea what happened to the parcel or if it was even sent at all as they don't provide a tracking number. Waste of $$

Terrible To NZ Customers

Bad customer service. They have an enormous selection but don't buy if you're in NZ. MPI allows for the importation of all chili seeds without restriction as long as they're properly labeled. They didn't properly label the contents of the package, leading MPI to destroy the seeds without me being able to do anything.

Worse, when I contacted The Hippy Seed Company about how they'd labeled my order and whether or not I could get a replacement I never got a response. Not a peep. Effectively I got scammed out of my money because they didn't care to properly deal with NZ import laws even when it would have been easy to do so, and didn't care at all to make it right.

If you're in NZ, don't buy!
