Herbies is an awesome seed bank... much cheaper compared to attitude (except for barney's farm and some others - but they price match)...
Their service is mucho mucho primo... only downfall is that cash transactions don't benefit from the 10% discount unless you buy bulk...

Delivery received today: 12 days from order. Got standard, rather than 'super-stealth' shipping, but it was certainly stealthy anyway. Great packaging job. The only very minor complaint that I could have is that they only sent on 5 freebee Skunk #1, instead of 10 (the order receipt indicated 10 freebees); doesn't really matter to me though-- not so interested in Skunk.
All seed packs are labeled, and the seeds look to be healthy, none crushed. The seeds were not in the breeders packaging, but I will trust Herbie's since the place has been around so long.
Overall, I would give Herbie's an A for seeds in stock, B+ for price, A for communication, and B+ for delivery (only because of the lack of vender packaging and the missing 5 freebies).
I will germ the Kali Mist next week, and let you know how it goes.

Information on Inbound International Mail
Due to recent incidents involving international cargo, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) instituted heightened security measures to safeguard air transport. These directives apply to U.S. bound international mail and cargo.
The U.S. Postal Service is working with the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the designated postal operators of its member countries to provide support and assistance in adhering to these TSA directives.
(cut holidays piece)
Since that time, a world-wide effort among UPU members and postal operators to meet the requirements of the new TSA directives has resulted in improvements in transit times for international mail bound for the U.S.
However, international packages from some points outside the U.S. may be subject to delays of several days above normal transit times as foreign postal operators continue to make progress in implementing the necessary adjustments to their operations. The U.S. Postal Service regrets any inconvenience these temporary increases in transit times may create for its customers.
Currently, mail from the United States to all countries is being handled under normal operating conditions, with these exceptions (Effective 4/1/2011):
(( LONG list -- currently does Not include Kings Lynn, Norfolk))

Excellent bank and they actually have 2 sites, one for single seeds and one for packs, the prices are great too even on the single seeds unlike other pick & mix banks. Bought a bunch of mr. nice singles inc. nl5 x haze ! Postage is fast and well wrapped up in 2 jiffy envelopes some bubble wrap, a ziplock and then finally a taped up paper bag, lol.
freebies seem to be big bud at the min.

11 Total Days from Online Order, to midwest N. America
Selection: 9 out of 10
Price: 9 out of 10
Service: 9 out of 10
Stealth Rating: 8 out of 10
Would you order from the same bank again: Yes
Comments: First order from any seed-bank, very satisfied overall. Prices were better/as good as I could find online, selection was very good, received a couple of status emails. Stealth was about what Ive read on most online vendors, gave it an 8 because I chose super-stealth at checkout, but still got breeder packs with all except the freebies. Happy they all got here, nothing crushed. One seed is a double (two little seeds joined together, in the shape of an ass), so not sure on it's viability. Order was complete, including all freebies as promised. Discreet credit card billing, and like the website design/navigation.
Looking forward to next order with Herbie..
