So... our first order from Herbie's failed to arrive, but we decided to try a second time with a small order. This time it got here safe and sound! No tracking, and not lightning fast (perfectly reasonable time in transit to USA), but the packaging was secure, protective, and stealthy. It may be a while before these get grown out, but for now I am very pleased, and glad I let you guys talk me into it.
Herbie's also hooked me up with extra freebies, which are quite intriguing and a very pleasant surprise. While the first snafu was a bit agitating, they were responsive and more than made up for it, and have definitely earned more business. Now we just need winter to end so we can get some glorious sunshine and get some girls growing!
(I'm wondering about the mystery Afghani, too.)
