I purchased some seeds on 6/13/08 and paid by Paypal. The order went thru but I didnt hear from him via email or phone so I called a few days later and confirmed the order with Perry. About 24 days went by and I still did not get my order. I called him and he said he had not shipped my order because he had to dry some of the seeds. That seemed to be a long time to dry seeds but I was okay with it. He then told me he would ship out my order that week or the next week even though it was ready now. Well, it is now 07/23/08, 40 days since my order and still no seeds. I emailed him a few days ago asking for some information. He did not email or phone me back. The funny thing is that I even told him I was ordering thru him because he had a decent rating on Dave's Garden. This guy doesnt seem to be malicious. I think he is just very apathetic. I will probably get my seeds some day but I wont order from him again.
Good luck

I have still never received a phone call or email from this company since I placed my order. Even after they read this posting they never contacted me period. I never received order. I will just accept that I lost my money.On July 30th, 2008, jujubetexas added the following:
I just checked my email and he sent me an email last night before I placed my previous comment. He said the package shipped on the 9th but I spoke to him on the 10th and he said it had not shipped yet. He said that if I dont get something by the 1st of August, he will send a replacement.

Lee,
We were away on vacation last week, and could not reply to your Email or return your phone call.
Your order was sent July 09.
The order was delayed because of the Egyptian Walking Onion bulbs. It takes time to dry the bulbs so that they don't get rotten during shipping.

Good packaging, the plants arrived intact and healthy. My rating would have been positive but for two things:
1) Of the four plants, only two were labeled. I checked the box and there were no tags or anything floating around in there, so it wasn't a case of them coming off during shipping. The two mystery plants had very similar leaves, so I had to do a lot of peering at online pics of stems to figure out which was which.
2) No planting instructions were included. While they're probably available on request, not having them right to hand was a bit of a nuisance.
