S.I.D Manufacturing
<div>Saw an advert for seedlings at very low prices, spoke to Wynand at S.I.D Manufacturing and decided to get a quote and ordered 30 000 tomato seedlings from them to be ready by 18 November.
As per mutual agreement we extended the date to 23 November. On 22 November confirming that everything was ready for pick-up the next day, I was told only 15000 seedlings would be ready, and that the rest will be delivered to the farm on 30 November. Trying to confirm the delivery for 30 November today (29 November) there is just nobody capable or willing to give me any answers.
Of the 15000 seedlings received, 30% are less than 2cm tall, which in my books is way below standard. Promised that they will replace those plants below standard, but can't even deliver what was ordered, how will they manage to replace the sub-standard seedlings.
This is absolutely unacceptable behavior, and I will never order from them again. I should have known, that with a price as low as theirs, it is to good to be true, and should have gone with my tried and trusted suppliers, although a bit more expensive but trustworthy to deliver on time and of the highest quality.
The potential loss of income is hundreds of thousands, but it will not affect their business, so why should they care.</div>
There is a big difference in size of the seedlings between those that they have bought (10 000) and those from S.I.D. The once from S.I.D which confirmed by Wikus as order on 30 Sept and which he then arranged to be planted is smaller in length than a Big Lighter with average about 4 leaves where as the 10 000 that was bought in is close to 3 lighter lengths with an excess of 20 leaves per plant.
