Herbies prices are higher than a few other banks i checked out. Not to mention they didnt respond to emails when others did.

Same here I just made my sixth order a few days ago and I have tried Bonza but I didn't like the way they packed my order.

did u ever get your seeds?
No. No seeds, no green tape, no anything. :(
Unfortunately I could not contact even Herbie's easily to ask what was up since I used what was apparently a sketchy/amateurish email provider, who locked me out of the account and all info I had about the order.

I would like to try again (I want to try some known genetics, though a friend has worked a decent bag seed through a few generations with good results), but I'm thinking of trying Attitude rather than Herbie's. I don't hold a grudge against Herbie's, since I have no idea what happened to my order, but common sense tells me to try someone else since my first attempt failed. Of course I have tried contacting them directly via their site's contact form and will report back if I hear anything. I'm hoping for the best, since people here seem to like and trust Herbie's a great deal.

How do you figure? It is my fault I didn't receive my package because I couldn't check my email account, or because I waited an ample amount of time for it?

I got a reply from them today saying the package must have been lost or detained, and it is my fault for not paying extra for tracking, and I am out of luck. It appeared to be a standard response, so why do they ship without tracking if doing so doesn't work out for anyone but them? If this is their attitude, why should I believe they ever even bother to send orders that do not include tracking? This is disappointing, since people here seem to love Herbie's, but I can not take the chance of wasting money and time again, and must look elsewhere, unfortunately.

Shipping at herbies with tracking/guarantee 9.99 pounds or about $13.50 US or shipping with no tracking/guarantee 4.99 pounds or $6.74 US. So you cheap out and choose to save $6.76 at the risk that this exact thing would happen.

The attitude charges about $25 for "stealth/guarantee."

Herbies rule
ya herbie rules if u like paying 10x more for prices..but he is honest about sending seeds i give him that much..just look at the differnce on the serious 6 on herbies 120$ and look at seedsman 79$ plus u get loyalty points and 15% off ever month on seedmans..they have a new user interface u can track ur own orders there on the seedsman page..i got almost 40$ off my order from seedsman with my loyalty points and had i not checked into it i would have paid 190$ for boddy early, and serious 6 when i got them from seedman for 101$ and that includes guaranteed shipping

Exactly why do you think they offer gauranteed shipping at additional cost? Seems to me you rolled the dice and blanked but want the gauranteed anyway.

I'd at least like something more than blind faith to prove that they shipped my order rather than taking my money and laughing about it. I'm still not sure why you were so accusatory (and sound like a shill), so I'll ignore you and move on. Getting locked out of my email account (temporarily) was all I did wrong, and should not have precluded delivery or reply to my subsequent inquiries.

Even still, I guess I will give them a second try and will report back again. If tracking is such a necessity, it should be included/required. They must get enough chargebacks/reversals on non-guaranteed orders that it is hard to stay in business. That is said from a business perspective, not just from a guy with no seeds. Requiring tracking (if lost orders are common) would lower costs for all customers, and minimize hassles for the seller. If they didn't mark up the tracking cost so much (read: extra profit), it would be easier to swallow, but I'll consider it the cost of federal prohibition, or whatever.
