Tractor Supply seed snafu, hard to believe...

Not to mention that TSC has to have the worst search feature of any retail web site. Search for a 1 1/2 inch valve and you get 80 some items most of which are tire valve stems for instance. Or 1/2 inch hydraulic hose and you get thread sealant.

The good thing about TSC is a lot of their products are free or must be since they are never priced.

...and they only post the 'rave reviews' with anything. Stuff with no reviews mean the reviews were all bad.

I didn't mean to start a TSC persecution. A new one opened less than 10 minutes away.
Very convenient for hardware sold by the pound, red top woven wire fence, cat litter & supplies, bird seed, horse supplies (medications, Weaver tack is ok). Overall our experience has been pretty good.

You didn't or at least I didn't take it like that at all. They are good for some things like hardware and wire and miscellaneous tractor and implement parts. More geared to the suburban 'farmer' however. I'm not. My wife spend a bundle there, belongs to the 'neighbor club' whatever that is. Gets her pet supplies there and bird seed too. I buy my Rotella there (when they have it) and sprayer parts (good selection). I usually buy parts from Shoup or my dealer for the implements and tractor stuff comes from my dealer. Lately, she's been buying pet stuff from Chewy, says it is less than TSC plus it's delivered via Fed Ex. (I feel bad for the Fed-Ex drivers with those heavy boxes from Chewy......

My bird feeders come down once the snow is about half gone, or the end of March whichever comes first...too many bears, plus very little activity once the snow melts.
I thought it was a state law that bird feeders had to be down by the first of April.

I don't use bird feeders spread seeds upon ground.
I wouldn't doubt it if NH had such law and now there strongly concerning law all game cams use off person property must have written permission etc. etc.

I find those and tree stands to be annoying as heck. It would be one thing if they had names on them, and were taken down after hunting season; then I could contact the owner if it's in the way. I have a game camera in my truck right now which I pulled out of a harvest block I laying out to cut earlier this year; I left a note as well as word with a couple of the neighbors but it looks like it's mine.
Then I came across a 20' tree stand while laying out another block; it was in a nice spruce and I told the harvester operator that I wanted it; preferably W/O destroying the stand but if it happened, it happened. The foreman got it down and dragged it out to the road, so I told him he may as well take it home. I've given away several which I've dragged out of areas we are going to be harvesting, and given them away. I can't sit still long enough to justify putting one out.
Two years ago there was a tree stand on a nice hardwood which was locked with a 3/8 inch chain; I should have dragged my saw in and cut the tree down so that we could have the log but didn't.

Last fall I was out walking my mother's property and stopped to get rid of a cup of coffee; I was half done when I realized I was pointing it directly at a camera. I would have pulled the card, but it was the type which sends to your cell phone. There's also a climbing stand somebody left on our side of the line in an oak tree; it had a nice veneer log in it until they drove spikes into it every 12 inches for steps.

Sorry, end of rant.

Sorry, end of rant.

I don't see it as a rant at all, Have the same issue with my mixed hardwood property up north with trespassing hunters assuming they have every right to erect stands and put bait stations on my posted ground. I've acquired more than one tree stand and multiple game cams over the years. I don't leave a note, I remove them immediately. Ground is well posted and marked every 150 feet with a Tee post, top painted bright red and signage stating 'private property, no trespassing' every 1000 lineal feet. Don't matter, slob hunters either cannot read or they just don't care. I do.

Besides, here in Michigan, State laws says explicitly that any stand or blind must be removed from any and all lands (including State owned) at the end of hunting season or face forfeiture. Have state lands abutting my property, guess they assume my ground is state ground even though it's posted. I don't mind hunters encroaching on my ground so long as they are tracking an animal and it enters my property. I do mind them 'setting up house' on my ground I pay taxes on and have for my own use however.

You erect a stand or a blind or now illegal baiting station on my ground, don't expect it to be there when you return to hunt, because it most likely won't be there.

People today have seemingly lost respect for other's property. I have no issue reminding them.

We see left-over tree stands in the woods all the time which is not legal to do in MI without the landowners permission. Why do hunters loose respect?

Back to TSC. I thought as the OP described his seed situation with them, was poor customer service.

It's a bit different here. The tracts I help manage are hundreds if not thousands of acres, and we allow access for recreational purposes. People do sometimes take it for granted, though.

I really, really Try not to shop at TSC. A few weeks ago I ordered some buried pipe detection tape. It took them 2 weeks then all of the sudden I just got an order cancelled email. Called their customer service (went through the endless robo menu…ugh) and finally got someone. They said it was no longer being stocked. Of course it was still showing available on their website….All 4 different colors. Pretty worthless.

I don't think it's just that chain... I'm finding similar at HD and Lowes. "I know that it's on our website but..."

The other side of that coin; They were advertising B&C oil for a good price so my neighbor stopped by to get a couple of cases. The employee said "Oh, we don't have any in stock"... so he went home and ordered it online to be sent to the store. ""Ding", he immediately got an email stating his order was ready to be picked up, the guy he'd talked to just didn't feel like going out back and getting it.
