>> And he's SOOOO very nice.. if a heavy Georgia accent!!
I love dealing with Tainong Seeds in California. They answer the phone in some Asian language, and switch over to accented English if you answe in English. I think that's cool
They specialize in Asian varieties for commercial growers, but will sell $2, 2 gram packets to hobbyists also. And no surcharge for small orders, either! Just the $5-6 for Priority shipping.
So I go back there every year, and will neve return to a certain eBay vendor who won't let you delete an item from your basket. It was like "you looked at it, so you bought it, and now I'm going to send you threatening letters for months".
The fact that there was no recourse via eBay that I could find, plus eBay clearly supported and provided the threatening, dunning letters, soured me on eBay even though many individuals who sell that way are great people.
