Homegrown Hydroponics - Homegrown-Hydroponics ripped me off

So many options for the hydroponic enthusiast. Stay away from "Howard" and www.homegrown-hydroponics.com. He shipped broken items and didn't fill the entire order. Not shockingly, the most expensive part of my order was never filled. www.homegrown-hydroponics.com (the hyphen is key) is rated "F" by the south Florida Better Business Bureau. I should have researched before I decided to do business with Howard Birnbaum. His company has also been reported to google because they spam search engines to increase their web presence. To top it off, it was the worst costumer service I've ever encountered.

This company as well ad Delta 13 care absolutely nothing at all about customer service. The owner John skipped town and shut down his store owing me over $600 in products.

He made all kinds of excuses and when I would have the money returned to me. Then he simply stopped replying. I have to take him to small claims court which is a ton of effort and time just to have my money returned. Be careful doing business with John.

He is now trying to run the store online and as consumers you should be aware of his unsavory business practices. For those of you considering doing business with him now because of a special. Be aware that the same CAP 12 pot watering system is also $300 at Growers House in Tucson and they will be there to.back up the warranty. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.

We need to support the shops that care.

I have no affiliation with any grow shops. Be very wary of Delta 13 and Arizona Grow Depot.

Looks like stealing money isn't the only thievery Howard practices. Google the content on his site.

His FAQ was straight copy and pasted from bghydro.com. Messed up stealing a customers money, and other honorable companies hard work.

Well you know I have looked at the site never heard of it before but while Looking around for a MCC-1 I found GTGHydroponics and gtghydroponics.com and Buyer beware. They are jacking the PRICE even over MSRP.

and well take the MCC-1 for 835.00 MSRP they have it listed there for 899.95 and they call that a Special Internet Price. hahahahA a rip off price.
