I wonder why some companies can offer seeds for 1/2 price and sometimes less (maybe less seeds per package? more common seeds?) AND only charge something like 99 cents for shipping and handling for any sized order.
Then other companies offers seeds at reasonable costs (more seeds per package? maybe something a little different/difficult to find?) but something like $4.95 for S&H for any sized order.
Then others offer a little of everything and offer S&H based on how much (or little) you order.
Small orders; lower S&H rates equals more repeat business.
Can you guess which companies get most of my business?
That said, after checking on my tomato and pepper seeds sown on the 31st of March, two out of four showing signs of sprouting already are from Totally Tomatoes. (The other two are from trades/sase offers).
I placed the order on-line 2/10, but invoice says 2/12 and it arrived 2/21. Not too bad.
But a company that charges $1.89 S&H, gets their seeds to me within days!
I guess it boils down to just how badly do you want THOSE seeds? Perhaps that's what part of it is, those seeds that you just can't find anywhere else! (And they know it!
)
Just my thoughts...
