OLSS FAQs

If I partner with OLSS, will I disrupt my current dealer network?

No. OLSS partners have the ability to control the visibility of their products down to the county level by using our product placement map. This allows our partners to expand into new markets without disrupting their current ones.

What are the costs involved if I partner with Online Seed Sales?

The costs of partnering with OLSS are much more reasonable than adding a new DSM or Dealer. There is a one-time investment (“startup fee”) of $2,500.00, an annual investment (“maintenance fee”) of $2,500.00 and a 3.5% “transaction fee” on all products sold through OLSS.

If I partner with OLSS, how much time will it take to get all my information “live” on the site?

The initial upload for an OLSS partner is quite painless. We have templates for our partners to complete along with extensive help from our partner acquisition team. Depending on some variables, we can normally have our partners “up and running” in a couple weeks.

Is Online Seed Sales a seed company?

No. OLSS is a web-based distribution platform that seed companies can utilize to market and sell their products online. Partners are responsible for obtaining all the licenses required to sell their products they list on OLSS.

Is Online Seed Sales just a website where companies go to “unload” all of their “junk” seed?

No. Even though OLSS is a place that our partners can utilize for inventory control as well as offering their entire catalog of products, there are quality & appearance standards that our partners must comply with to sell their products on the OLSS website.

Are the purchased products shipped directly to the customer?

Most of the time the products will be shipped directly from the OLSS partner’s warehouse to the customer. However, there are certain logistical situations that can cause exceptions for direct shipping.

Am I responsible for marketing my brand on Online Seed Sales?

OLSS utilizes target marketing to create recognition and trust for OLSS and our partners as a group. Although we do not require any specific brand marketing by our partners, we have seen a definite correlation between active partners and sales conversions, and we strongly encourage it.

What are some of the benefits of partnering with Online Seed Sales?

Expand into new markets without disrupting your current ones

Manage product offerings, pricing and geographic placement down to the county level

Instantly update agronomic information, pricing, and inventory

Partner with a company that is a leader in Ag. E-Commerce

Does Online Seed Sales offer returns or replant?

No. However, although the OLSS policy is no returns or replants, it comes down to the partner’s discretion. In a situation of a customer returning seed, or needing replant seed, the decision can be made by the seed company on a case-by-case basis.

I Really Like This Business Model. As A Small Grower I Appreciate Having Easy Access To The Best Technology Without The Intimidation Of A Large Co-op. I Would Proudly Where A Hat Or Other Logo Wear To Advertise In My Area

This Is My Third Year Doing Some Business With Online Seed Sales, And They’re Great!! Joel Is A Real Guy Who Runs The Marketing Side Of OLSS. The Business Is A Side Deal Off Of Miller Hybrids And Both Are Owned By Bob Miller Who Is A Corn Breeder At Heart. I Know He Spent Time In His Career With Syngenta Among Others. He Has A Passion For Conventional Seed And Corn In Particular. They Have Agronomists On Staff To Answer Any And All Questions You May Have. Bob Himself Calls Me A Few Times A Year Just To Check In And Thank Me For My Business. I Trust Joel, Bob, And Any Of The OLSS/Miller Hybrids Employees. I Think Bob And His Staff Are Just Trying To Find Better, Easier And Cheaper Options For Guys That Might Be Looking For That Type Of Service. If You Want/need The Local Help Or Relationship, Then They Probably Aren’t For You. For Me, I’d Rather Support A Smaller Family-owned Business Than The 3-4 Big Boy Overpriced Bullies.

Buying Corn Seed Through OnlineSeedSales Was A Pleasure. Comparing Available Seed Varieties Was Made Easy Through Their Website. Discount Prices Were Very Good And It Was Great To Be Able To Complete My Order Online And Have My Seed Scheduled To Be Shipped Directly To My Farm. Joel From OnlineSeedSales Was Great And A Real Pleasure To Work With.

I Like OLSS Because It’s Clear Cut And Simple. I Can Go On There And See What The Prices Are, And I Can See What My Final Price Is. Some Companies You Might Spend An Hour Even After You Buy Your Seed Just To Calculate What Your Total Is.

One Of The Things That Attracted Me To OLSS Was Their Openness And Accuracy In Pricing. The Website Provided Me With The Opportunity To See Some Very Good Hybrids From Multiple Companies With Very Good Access To The Description, Traits, Yield Comparison And The Background Data That Goes Along With It.

Ordering Seed From Onlineseedsales Was Painless And An Enjoyable Experience. Joel Was Very Helpful, Informative, And Went Out Of His Way To Fill My Order. His Service Was Prompt And Friendly. I Strongly Recommend Ordering Seed Through This Site. I Know I Will Be Ordering Again, Soon.
