Sometimes in life, you do all the research in the world and in the end, you still cannot believe you got screwed. Fortunately, this is not one of those times. I am very pleased with BCseedking's service and communications via email updates during my initial order. The ordering process was simple, straightforward and plenty of details were provided. The money was received in 8 days and shipping must have been immediate since the beans were in my possession 7 days later. The packaging was rather weak and frankly, disappointing. Any cursory, open-inspection of the packaging would have surely led to a seizure. I am going to contact them and offer some additional thoughts on this particular issue that could easily be corrected with little effort or additional cost. The website and detailed information on, well, just about everything, was very limited. Actually, I will stop right here. BCSK really needs to rethink their web presence and must put some effort into this area. Pricing was absolutely the best, hands-down, without even considering the extra 10 Mango's they include or the surplus bean counts! Let's see, my $70USD (actually, this converted to slightly more) got me 38 magical beans including shipping! That is less than $2 per bean folks! I researched over 24 seed banks during this process and decided due to my location, I would focus on Canadian sources this time. Without a verified grow of the beans, this experience was excellent. I highly recommend that you try them. My rating is: 9 out of 10 beans!
