Has anyone bought frags from this company based out of TX?

Placed an order today and spoke with the owner who says he's on here and has been trying to be a sponsor.

I'll post some pics of my order when I get it! Great prices with a low free shipping option!!

Delt with several companies out of Texas but never heard of these guys. They are a new company best I can find is they started in 2019 in Stafford TX which is south west of Houston. They have a nice website.

Soo got my frags today.

Extremely happy with the shipping g and containers as they are glass jars with a mesh bag inside, kept cool and overall great packaging.

The downside is these frags are nubs. Certainly not what I was expecting, additionally they are fresh cuts and pretty brown. Also, the ONE coal which prompted me to even buy, the Bellina, is horrendous. The top portion is dead and has been for some time as you see in the pics.

So packaging and shippong:A+
Frags themselves more like a D

I have reached put to already to discuss with the seller. At this point I'm not sure I would buy from again.

The freebie was certainly nice and unexpected, PC Rainbow.

So in total I paid $145 shipped which is a good price but feel the frags could certainly be better.

Dang, who glued those? A kindergartner? Just kidding. I’m sorry about your situation, hopefully they respond...good luck, and keep us posted!

Frag sizes seem pretty standard for nowadays. Guessing that garf bonsai is the chunkier one, fox flame is the crooked one, and PC Rainbow is that one in the back. The dead spot on the Bellina is pretty bad, can't say that is acceptable at all. Color is all pretty bad, though I don't buy SPS shipped, so can't say that seems to be typical or not. Wouldn't think it would be, one overnight shipping causing it to lose all color? Color me doubtful.
