Seeds Direct refuses to replace bunk seeds...I'm screwed

I few weeks ago I posted my results on the seeds I recieved from Seeds Direct. The success rate of the seeds was less than 10%.

I tried to offer sending the remaining seeds back to get new seeds, but SD has been less than helpful.

Here are my emails with SD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I only tried to germinate 23 seeds. The others are still in the bags.

I used sterile purified water, sterile paper towls, sterile plastic
cups,
and sterile soil. I have germinated and grown numerous different kinds
of
seeds in the past. This is the first time I have had a problem like
this.

Hell, Ill send you back the seeds I have left, and you can just send me
the
same number of seeds back. If the seeds I have are just as good as you
say,
then you should be able to resell them. But I am not using these seeds
because they are not performing. I paid $160 for quality seeds. I am
sorry,
8% success is not fair. If you stand by your seeds, then you should have
no
problem with me sending the ones I have left back, and then you sending
me
new seeds.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot replace the seeds without opening packs which we never do and I
would never resell seeds to a customer if they have been returned by a
customer. I cannot replace them for you I'm afraid.

Regards

SD




I'm screwed out of $160.... What should I do guys? Any help...

Thank,
