Beaver Seeds

Beaver Seeds is a Canadian seed bank originally founded in 2009. It went through complete rebranding in autumn of 2020, making an entirely new selection of seeds available to its gradually growing customer base. While it is yet to build a robust online presence, when the company’s name does appear, it’s mostly because of something positive.

Growers who come across Beaver Seeds for the first time may be wondering if this lesser-known seed bank from Vancouver BC is legit and worth a try. Our full review answers this concern and will help you decide if this online store from the Great White North is for you.

Products

We give kudos to Beaver Seeds for having a seed collection that consistently delivers stable and good-quality genetics. The shop also boasts a high overall germination rate (80% according to the agent we spoke to), with online reports of receiving dud seeds remaining few and far between.

So is Beaver Seeds legit? It certainly is.

A little peek at the Beaver Seeds catalog, and you’d know right away that Beaver Seeds offers both in-house genetics and seeds from other breeders like Crop King Seeds and Sonoma Seeds. The store currently has 330 feminized seeds, 175 autoflowers, 29 fast versions, and 35 regular seeds on offer, 30 of which are high in CBD. Here are their best-sellers:

As with most seed banks, the top-sellers in this online store are predominantly legendary strains, but they also have an excellent selection of new, must-try hybrids. Additionally, purchases from Beaver Seeds come with a germination guarantee. Customers can make a claim provided that its strict germination guide, which is posted on their website, was followed.

Shipping and Delivery

Beaver Seeds ships anywhere across the globe, making it a great option for cannabis enthusiasts having difficulties finding seed banks or retailers that will cater to their location. All orders are sent out in discreet and secure packaging, with the marijuana seeds concealed in random items, such as ball pens, shirts, or toys. The shipping fee varies depending on the delivery address but is waived for orders over $200.

Beaver Seedskeeps all of its products in stock at all times, allowing them to dispatch all orders within 24 hours after confirmed payment. Parcels typically arrive fast, thanks to Canada’s efficient mail system. Customers based in Canada usually receive their purchase in 2-5 days, while packages bound elsewhere reach their destination between 1 to 3 weeks.

Even in discreet packaging, seed orders run the risk of being confiscated by customs. It’s also possible for the parcels to get lost or stolen in transit. For these concerns, Beaver Seeds offers a delivery guarantee, which basically means your shipment is tracked and will be reshipped if it fails to reach its destination. This added layer of security costs between $20 or $40, depending on where you are.

Customer Service

Apart from offering high-quality products, Beaver Seeds provides standout customer service. Buyers can reach out to the seed bank’s customer care team via chat, email, phone, or snail mail if you’re old school. Their live chat communication channel allows shoppers to contact Beaver Seeds any time of the day, and they respond fast.

We chatted with an employee named August and sent a flood of newb questions, some likely to annoy the impatient, and they were all appropriately addressed. Our email, however, was left unanswered until we finished writing this review, so if your concern is urgent, perhaps it’s better to give them a call or hit the chat option.

The ample details in every product page and their blog full of everything cannabis-related are also form of good customer service. What’s missing even on their FAQ page are information about Beaver Seeds’ return policy and what needs to be done in case of failed germination. We asked August about these missing info, and we were advised that they do not have a return policy or germination guarantee. That said, we can give them a call (not chat) should we wish to return seeds or discuss germination issues.

Ease of Website Navigation

While not a prime example of an elegant and professional-looking website, the simplicity of beaverseed.com makes browsing around straightforward. Top seed classifications growers would typically look for are displayed at the navigation bar, popular seeds are at the center, and important links are at the bottom. What it lacks are sort or filter options in product category pages for crucial requirements like THC and CBD levels, growth difficulty, flowering time, and yield size, among others.

Price and Special Offers

Beaver Seeds offers an impressive selection at low to moderate prices. Although it lacks major promotions and does not currently offer discounted seeds, the shop accepts coupon codes, which buyers can find online or receive through newsletters. Additionally, they can get free shipping for orders over $200, 10 extra seeds for purchases more than $420, and 1 free seed for every 5-pack purchased.

Payment

Cannabis growers planning to buy from Beaver Seeds can pay using credit/debit cards (Visa or Mastercard only and with a 10% surcharge for bank processing fees)or Bitcoins. Other payment options, such as cash, EMT, and Interac, are also available for Canada-based buyers. According to the seed bank’s FAQ, customers who wish to use a different payment method can contact them to see if something can be done.

Thank you for checking our reviews! If you recently bought cannabis seeds from an online store, we’d love to hear about your experience and what you think of their products and services. This will only take a few minutes but will save fellow weed growers from a lot of headaches later.  It can also determine which seedbanks we should continue to work with.

Thanks again!
