Returns/Refund Policy
Seeds are live products and therefore need to be treated with due care and attention. In our care, they are stored correctly and have a shelf life longer than the time between reproduction runs.

Only once we see a germination rate higher than 90% do any seeds leave our facility for general sale.
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OUR SEEDS.
There are many conditions whereby a 90% germination rate will not be achieved, as mentioned above they are a live product and we’re not there to assist with germination once they are in your hands. However, for all Big Muddy Genetics direct orders, we include extra seeds per pack with all orders to give you every chance possible to get successful results from our company. Think of these extra seeds as friendly insurance. We are under no obligation to replace any orders.
Returning your order
We would prefer no seeds be returned by mail, as the journey through the postal system can be detrimental to these delicate live products. If you have any problems with your order then we suggest you contact us and (if possible) send us photos of the package and merchandise that has the problem, this way we’re able to rectify the situation a more promptly.
