Yep, he beat me as well. Multiple calls/emails/msgs, all ignored. I have 2 orders open with him, from back in early May, and not 1 response. Opened a PAYPAL case, and he hasn't answered them either. What a coward/b itch! As you can see he has not responded to any post here since May.
Check out STARFISH HONEY, she has some nice seeds/videos on YT, got me my seeds in 5 days, and they are growing strong!
Seems he resells other people's seeds as well. STAY AWAY from OB, should have looked here first..
Update:
Paypal got me my money back. Jordan did not even respond to their email requests, yet his website is still up and taking orders like nothing is wrong here.

Never received order 61813 Placed on 6/8/2020
Never received order 61813. Multiple attempts made to email, call, text, fb message. Once I saw multiple negative reviews on here I discovered I was scammed. Reported to PayPal, have to go through their dispute process.

Organical Botanicals? Just another botanist Scam site. Avoid and blacklist.
After further research, it looks like many other people never received their seeds and definitely will not get a reply. Also if you do some looking online, Kykeon Plants warns people that Jordan at OrganicalBotanicals passes off other seeds and sells them under false pretenses and fake advertising.
It has been weeks since I ordered from OrganicalBotanicals and have had no responses and I never got my products. I ordered some Papaver Somniferum seeds from Eden Brothers, many of which are sold at Organical Botanicals,and received my Eden Brothers seeds within a week, at much lower costs, that also have tons of reviews of almost 100% germination rates. Eden Brothers among many others have the Gigantium variants, and Lauren’s Grape.
After seeing his videos on Facebook, Jordan sounds slightly paranoid, and obviously has mental health problems.
I get the vibe that Jordan is an out of shape, middle aged man that lived at home with his mom. His side job was selling McCormick poppy seeds that won’t germinate because he won’t clean the Cheeto dust from his fingers.
Pretty soon, OrganicalBotanicals will invoke the interwebs mob and summon the wrath of the spirit of angry customers. Organical Botanicals will get run down and the site will overflow with negative reviews and will be forced to change their name, end the schemes, or stop scamming.

Can’t give 0 stars
Can’t give 0 stars. 100% scam. Do not buy, they will take your money. I ordered seeds a few weeks ago and then for some reason decided to look into the company after, and was not real happy about what I read. I hadn’t seen any emails about shipping so I decided to try to contact OB. Quickly found out that they are impossible to get ahold of. I tried what methods they pretend to use. Email, FB, call, text, comment. I of course got no reply. I’ve been trying to cancel my order but I seriously doubt that this is even a real business. I had ordered seeds from a different supplier twice in the time that I’ve dealt with this joker and promptly received both orders. This guy is a thief. Stay away.

I'm waiting for my first order with b o… 61826
I'm waiting for my first order with b o to get out of the quote-unquote processing stage. It's 7 days old I paid another 13 for quick shipping and I can't get a response to a messenger message or phone call a text or any other way of communicating with these clowns. I don't like to sit and judgment but Jesus Christ's! I don't think it's unreasonable to expect some sort of progress or at least a response acknowledging what the ? problem is? NOT COOL TO IGNORE CUSTOMERS!

100% Scam, do not buy!!!
I love all your excuses below claiming youll give refunds and its 3 weeks for shipping. Its been almost 2 months, you didnt reply to any of a dozen messages through 2 email addresses, messenger and now you have disconnected your phone. I ordered almost 2 months ago, when I filed through paypal, which you claim below is "how its done" then contradict yourself, you provided a fake tracking number. Not to mention you keep changing your site, disconnecting your phone and there are like 30 other people on your fb page saying the same thing. No matter what you say, youre a dishonest person, incompetent business owner, and just a piece of con man junkie trash. You can update your website everyday, leave passive aggressive msgs on paypal when people go to make a claim, provide fake tracking numbers, yet. You are unavailable to give refunds, which your site clearly states you will do. Not to mention, the season is over so you're selling year old seeds at a super premium price, acting like coupons and non existent free seeds will help. Maybe stop sampling from your garden long enough to answer an email. All one has to do is look below to see your arrogance and incompetence, especially at customer service. Any real business wouldn't come at people aggressively when they have an issue, you shouldn't even be doing business until you can provide a product, which is a joke, you clearly dont intend to send anything outl and screw your free year old-nobody wants that ugly bs "bonus" seeds, nobody wants that garbage, make it taz alk or gigs or something worthwhile. You havent sent out anything. You had 2 months, you sent out fake tracking. If something is wrong now, tough sh!t. You shoulda used those 2 months. If you can still actively hide like a coward and update your site and fight paypal cases, you can issue refunds. Any excuse you can find, huh Jordan? You're a greedy thief, I tried being nice, im done. Youve been added to a 5,000+ member scammers group on fb. Screenshots of your claims, unresponded emails and screenshots of your behavior below posted on reddit (along with a lot of pissed off peiple there and on fb,anyone thay sees your fb page is going to have a giant "hell no" (Btw, love how your own group disappeared along with functional phone numbers and viable email addresses). I hope you lose everything. Don't take peoples money if you cant provide a product. Issue refunds if you got orders before disabling the site. Plain and simple. You are so desperately trying to hold onto money you stole.....I know your name Jordan, this is gonna turn out badly for you. Say bye to your business scam and freedom. You are a thief plain and simple and I will continue to spread the word everywhere possible that youre a con artist who has committed interstate fraud repeatedly and purposely.

Looked for an online vendor of seeds
I actually was going to be ordering seeds from this company but wanted to check out the business first as there are so many scam sites out there nowadays. I am glad that I came to trust pilot.
As a business owner, I understand that things can go wrong with orders. Seeing the common complaints here in regards to long waits on shipments and lack of communication is bad enough.
However, the responses from your company and insulting the customer like you are, is enough for me and I am sure everyone else that may check out reviews, to never order from such an immature/unprofessional business owner. Customer service sells, insults and blame does not. So, heads up. It is not the negative reviews that is hurting your business, it is the responses from you. Grow up.

Hi EMarie. Welcome to Trustpilot. So, looks like you're new here.
Welcome, Looks like you've just begun to build your reputation here. LOL j/K.
I understand, I can be a real jackass at times. I'm currently undergoing psychiatric therapy for that.
Thanks though, and I'm sorry you missed the honor of being one of OUR Valued CUSTOMERS!
We understand it's importance "Customer Service", I'm just not that great at it. Sorry.
But, I never claim to be good at Customer Service, in fact, I ADMIT that I SUCK at it! ALL THE TIME (as you'll read in my replies below & my website).
- However that does NOT mean, I don't Value our Customers.
HOW ABOUT YOU? Do u have any imperfections you'd like to share w/ the group? What's YOUR Website?
- WE have NEVER Scammed a SINGLE Customer! For not a single Penny, nor Seed.
- We couldn't if we tried.That's because Buyers are Protected under Paypal's Buyer Protection Policies
But what I AM GOOD AT, is Breeding and Seeding the Highest Quality Botanicals & Genetics, on a CONSISTENT, YEAR-ROUND basis.
And THAT'S WHAT SELLS....You don't find ANYONE Complaining about the quality of our Products now, do you? (unless it's an Abusive Buyer, such as Rory. A rare, but very REAL case where a Buyer tries to get FREE product)/
Sometimes, we sell a little more than we can handle.
Which partly explains some Complaints for DELAYS in our Shipping, because we experience EXTREMELY High Volumes of Orders during Peak Spring-Season,
Not to mention a Global Pandemic overwhelming the Postal Service.
- EVERY Complaint u see below, either received their Order. Or a FULL Refund. (proof provided in each reply), Now, THEY become the "Scammers". Since their Complaint doesn't reflect TRUTH!!
- You're only seeing a tiny fraction of our Customer Base, and the relationships I have with them. Most have become good friends, who call me regularly to talk about Gardening. (most people who have a good experience, don't feel the need to write a Review & be heard).
- Most of our Customers are intelligent, mature gardeners, who have the ability to "Plan Ahead", therefore they simply place their Orders a couple weeks in advance. It's that simple. It would be an Insult to assume otherwise.
Similar to those people who wait for a WEEK in LONG LINES, in SCORCHING HEAT, just to get the BEST Concert Seat (AFTER paying ridiculous prices for Tickets & parking Fees!!) -or-
**The people who CAMP OUT in the FREEZING COLD, HOPING to Spend $1k+or MORE on the Latest iPhone debuting at the Apple Store!
Just as most High Quality items or Experiences are worth waiting for.
Lastly, for all other Buyers who we feel may experience Delays, we offer $10 Instant Store credit code (currently on our Cart Page), + and 1 Extra FREE Pack of Seeds, or, Buyers can be refunded at ANY time they wish.
It's all explained in our Terms, and Paypal's Terms. You, a Business Owner, should know.
[NUMBER OF ORDERS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FILLED WHILE DEALING WITH THIS CASE: 16]
