Seedman.com for cacti seeds?

Post by Douglas Firsure »

Anyone try this website? I made an order a couple days ago and haven't heard anything. No number to call and the email process ends in a security thing which always errors. I'm sure it's just it's fine, but I'm used to getting confirmation emails right away etc. Thanks!

Cactus seed sellers usually take their time responding and getting the order ready. The Czechs are know to take a few months, even. But things get done eventually. Usually it is wise to order soon when most lists have been updated, late autumn throughout the winter.

I don't know the particular site you mention, but I can image you don't get a reply within a day. That might only happen with private seed sellers just running the business earn a bit of side money with seeds from their own plants in their private collection.

Was able to contact them on a PC instead from my phone . Got a response shortly saying it shipped yesterday! Looks like a good review so far!

I'd never heard of them, but I took a look at the site - they claim to usually ship within 2-3 days. Seems they made good on that. Would be nice to get a shipping notification, but fast shipping is nice.

Do most seed suppliers in Europe ship to the United States? Any you would recommend? Thanks.

Got them last week, but i think expectations on orders are high because of 2 day shipping etc. The seeds that i sowed germinated quickly and its seems to be going well now! I'll post updates and questions as they are a random mix, so should be a fun guessing game!
