I wanna buy a large amount of seeds across many genus I've been looking at a few places I found rare exotic seed.com I'm wondering if anyone knows if they're good or trash fake seeds

rareexoticseeds.com is fake and should be advoided, however, rarexoticseeds . com is an okay site to go. i've bought from them. i wouldn't buy their nepenthes seeds since they're a tad old, about 4~5 months. they give real seeds from the correct type of plant but mine haven't sprouted so i can't say anything about being the correct species. remember, if it has 4 "e"s in total, it's fake and don't go there, but if it only has 3 "e"s , with the e at the end of rare and the start of exotic fused together into rarexotic, it's legit as far as i can tell. they have pretty nice custommer support but you might need to send twice and it takes up to a week for a reply. i got a reply when i asked when one of the nepenthes seeds were harvested. i suggest buying their GA3 since it's relatively cheap and also is real, or at least it isn't fake as far as i can see. my nepenthes seeds haven't germinated but that's probaly be using the wrong moss (amazon terratium moss that claims to be spagnum but i'm not to sure.)

A second look and I'm on the legit site. Good advice on the nepenthes I was going to buy 1 of every variety available. Maybe this time I'll just buy 1 or 2 and see if I can get a couple started. Instead I'll buy more urts and drosera

I haven't heard good things about them. I think the seeds are the real deal, but most of them are quite old. I haven't heard of many people who got any germination.

Ordered about $90 US of seeds back in September of 2020.
Seeds never showed. Initially got responses stating to wait for long shipping duration. After January 2021, I told them they never arrived and wanted a refund. They stopped responding at this point.
Perhaps seeds were confiscated by US customs, I don't know. I asked them if they were shipping from overseas and they wouldn't respond to that either, although they are UK based so I would assume so.

Will not order from them again. If you are in UK, perhaps they are OK, but would avoid orders to USA.

In my opinion, no they are not reputable.
I paid them $30.00, in December 2021, on the 9th, they charged my credit card but didn't send me anything until Feb 2022, and the package was torn open so I got nothing.
I contacted them 3 times. But was unable to dredge up anyone to help me. I'm not sure if they sent my package with it open or if the post office actually got it after it was torn.
Anyhow, I got nothing and I'm out 30 dollar, and have no seeds.

I ordered about $50 CAD worth of seeds. Variety of Drosera, Sarracenia, Utricularia, Nepenthes.....none germinated.

Its Montreal based, i know that place. The seeds can be very old.

I strongly suggest to try a lil quantity before ordering more.
