I've only ordered from Nirvana and M-S.nl so far so I figured I'd give a side by side review. I haven't done Attitude yet but will soon.
Website: Both websites were easy to order from but obviously Nirvana has the nicer site. it is much more user friendly and they have points system that could eventually get you some free seeds.
Shipping:
M-S.nl has a standard shipping and a stealth shipping option. I chose to stealth option and it arrived hidden in a pair of socks. The discreet option is only about $5 more. The seeds were separated in little bags with the name abbreviation written on them in permanent marker. I would have liked the originally packaging but whatever. I don't remember shipping dates but it was pretty quick. Less than two weeks.
Nirvana just has one shipping option. It would be nice if they had a T-shirt option or something like that. The seeds were also in little bags but had name stickers on them with the full name. Both arrived quickly. The Nirvana order was placed on 2/5 (a saturday), I got the email saying it shipped on 2/9, and I got it today 2/16. I had also ordered their germination kit and that arrived yesterday.
Seeds:
M-S.nl - I wanted to try some Autos so I had ordered the 15-pack special from M-S.nl. It had 5 auto berry, 5 auto widow, 5 low ryder 2, and the order came with 3 auto easyrider. The seed quality sucks IMHO. In each pack of 5 there was 2 or 3 small light seeds. That's pretty shitty. The free seeds looked relatively ok. The germ rate was ok. One of the free easyriders didn't pop and one of the widows popped a little tap root but then nothing else happened. I also have some obviously stronger seedlings and plants than others. I have had a couple of seedlings die so far (one being my fault from heat). I currently have two other seedlings that may die, not sure yet. I haven't done anything different between them and the others that look good. I wish I had written down whether they were they smaller seeds or not. They just seem unreliable with seed quality.
Nirvana - I ordered a 5 pack of fem NYPD and a 5 pack of fem Blackberry (Weekend Whopper special). The seeds look great!! Large, dark, and healthy!. I'm about to start germing some of them tonight. I'll update when I have germ rates and such when I do it.
Conclusion: I will never order from M-S.nl again because of the seed quality... So Nirvana is the winner! As I said, I haven't germed them yet but by the looks of the seeds I shouldn't have any problems. I'll update when they have popped.
