Rhino Seeds Review: Big Promises, Mixed Results
Honestly, Just Okay
The website felt a bit old-school, but I found what I needed. Shipping was kinda slow, and the stealth packaging wasn’t as ‘stealth’ as advertised. Seeds grew fine, but nothing spectacular. will shop around next time.
Free Seeds? More Like Free Problems
Placed an order and got some bonus ‘free seeds.’ Spoiler: none of them germinated. The main order was alright, but overall, it didn’t feel like great value for money
Surprisingly Good Experience
After reading mixed reviews, I was nervous about ordering from Rhino Seeds. But honestly? My order arrived in under two weeks which was really slow, but germination rate was good! Only just potted so can’t speak for plants yet
Customer Service? Not So Much
Not so smooth. Two seeds were duds, and customer service took forever to get back to me.
If you’ve been browsing online for cannabis seeds, chances are you’ve stumbled across Rhino Seeds (also known as Cannabis-Seeds.co.uk). They’ve been around for a while, boast a decent selection, and their website makes some pretty bold claims about being one of the best in the game. But do they deliver on those promises? After a couple of orders and a chat (or two) with their customer service team, I’ve got some thoughts. Spoiler: It’s not all smooth sailing.
First Impressions: A Bit Outdated, But Functional
Let’s start with the website. Rhino Seeds has that early 2010s vibe, with slightly clunky navigation and enough banners and pop-ups to make you feel like you’re being shouted at. That said, it works. You can search by breeder, strain type, and even specific characteristics like high THC or short flowering times.
But, and it’s a big but, their site has this used car dealership energy. Flashy sales, bold claims, and constant “LIMITED TIME OFFER” vibes can make it hard to tell if you’re genuinely getting a deal or just being sold to.
Ordering Process: Mostly Smooth, With a Few Hiccups
Placing an order wasn’t exactly a nightmare, but it wasn’t seamless either. Payment options are pretty standard, but their checkout process felt a little outdated—like I was buying something off eBay in 2008.
Shipping costs were… fine, but there’s no free shipping option, even if you spend a decent chunk of cash. My order arrived in just under two weeks, which isn’t the worst, but also not breaking any speed records.
Oh, and stealth shipping? It’s available, but you’ll pay extra for it. It wasn’t bad stealth, but I’ve seen better from other seed banks at no additional cost.
Seed Quality: A Mixed Bag
Now, let’s get into the real reason we’re here: the seeds. Out of the 10 seeds I ordered, 7 germinated. That’s not a terrible success rate, but it’s also not great considering how much they hype up their “premium quality.”
The plants that did grow turned out decent—one (Blue Dream) was genuinely impressive, with strong, healthy growth and a nice yield. Another strain (White Widow) was stunted and never really took off.
A friend of mine ordered from Rhino and had an even rougher time—only half of his seeds germinated. And when he reached out to customer service, let’s just say the response wasn’t exactly apologetic.
Customer Service: Don’t Hold Your Breath
Customer service is where Rhino Seeds seriously drops the ball. When I reached out with a question about my order, it took days to get a reply. And when I finally did hear back, the response felt half-hearted and generic, like they’d copied and pasted it from a script.
My buddy’s experience was even worse. After his germination issue, he was essentially told, “Tough luck, try again.” Not exactly what you want to hear when you’ve spent good money on seeds.
Pricing: Competitive, But Watch Out for Extras
Rhino Seeds’ prices are about average—not super cheap, but also not eye-wateringly expensive. However, those little extra costs (stealth shipping, shipping fees, etc.) add up quickly.
And those flashy discounts they’re always advertising? Yeah, they’re not as impressive as they seem once you factor in the extra charges.
Reputation: A Bit Tarnished
Rhino Seeds has been around long enough to build a name, but their reputation in grower circles is… mixed. For every grower who swears by them, there’s another with a horror story about dead seeds, bad support, or shipping delays.
It feels like Rhino is coasting on their history and hasn’t done much to improve their processes in recent years.
Would I Recommend Rhino Seeds?
Here’s the deal: Rhino Seeds isn’t terrible, but they’re far from being a top-tier seed bank. If you’re after a specific strain they stock and you’ve got patience for shipping delays and questionable customer service, you might be okay.
But if you’re after a smoother, more reliable experience, there are definitely better options out there. Rhino Seeds feels like a relic from the early days of online seed shopping—functional, but rough around the edges.
If you decide to order, keep your expectations in check. Sometimes they deliver, and sometimes… well, sometimes you’ll be left staring at a pot of soil wondering what went wrong.
