succseed order info...if u have an idea pls let me kno.

Post by KittieKAT »

Does anyone kno how long it takes to get an order from succseed i had a friend order a pack of seeds for me onto his list of seeds and he hasn't received the package yet, does anyone have an estimate on how long it would take to get to the US ? Don't wanna panic if i don't have to, just very hesitant getting seeds with my experience so far with lithop seeds reguardless how great the site is, thanks

I will take at least a week to get an envelope from Europe (in this case Sweden) to the US. I don't know how fast order handling is but I reckon a few days at least, so add those up to the total aswell. I also assume you need to pay first before the order is shipped. So when was the order placed and has there been a payment?

I haven't order at SuccSeed myself, but I haven't heard of any negative comments about SuccSeed from others on forums.. So I should not worry if I were you.

I just ordered from them, it took about three and a half weeks for the package to arrive.

I ordered some back in September/October and it took about 3-4 weeks to NY.

You need to factor in that nearly all of Mats's business probably happens in the week after his new list is produced (this year it was 1st November). My records show that when I ordered in 2012 (I don't have a record of exactly when but it would've been a day or two after the new list late Oct/early Nov) my seeds arrived (UK) on 23rd December.

Matt is always on the ball and is a great person from which to order.
Mine only took 2 weeks, though I'd imagine that was on the quicker side!
I would rest assured they will indeed arrive soon.

Less than a month. For many seed lists it takes longer, definitely in the time of the year where there is a surge of requests (as usually happens in autumn and winter), especially after a seed list has been updated. As growing succulents, also with ordering seeds patience is a virtue.

I'm sorry to hear that, KittieKAT! Are you sure you didn't order any CITES seeds that they couldn't send you? I had absolutely trouble when I ordered.
