They eventually refunded, marked the items as out of stock, and voila! They clearly never even had or sent the seeds and were just conning me and hoping to keep my money. They could care less that they ruined the opportunity for me to grow these seeds this year. Meanwhile, the growing season window came and went while they strung me along. I placed an order, never received it, was strung along by their rude reps for over a month denying replacement or refund while they forced me to wait nearly a month for a resolution. Not only do they lose your order history, they do not fulfill orders and fight with you for a resolution!
