Placed an order with a company at the start of the year, after two weeks my seeds had not arrived.  I mailed them twice, and finally got my seeds.  Hoping this was just a one off, I placed an order with them in the middle of July, sent emails and it took them 3 working days just to reply.  They promised to send my order out last week, it never arrived.  I have sent them further emails and they are not even replying now.  I wish I had bothered to Google them first, as I see other people saying the same kind of things.  Don't get stung by cowboys!

I have also been stung too but i didnt check out the amazon feedback first, my mistake. We did have a post already telling you the best companies to use but where it is now i hqve no idea. I swapped to premier seeds through amazon and wont look back now

I compiled a list of seed companies from all the posts on the forum - though there are also a few longer lists floating about on here if you search thoroughly:

Surbie's seed supplier list

I am a proper seedaholic, but I can never find links/remember names for seed suppliers when I want them, so....

That's because I don't use that well-known auction site. 

If the edit function hadn't been withdrawn from the forum I might well have added it in.....

Premier seeds also use amazon

This one is worth remembering.

Why has the edit function been removed? I was hoping it was a glitch

[mumofstig]

You can edit for 30mins - since the upgrade it has been causing software problems with a longer edit time 

[GrowinGrowinGone]

Thanks for the replies guys.  Moderator removed the name of the company btw, not me, just so people know.
I will be sure to have a look at some of the sites mentioned, and steer clear of the cowboys, thanks
