You should have them on a heat mat or above a heater register so they stay around 80 degrees (F).
The same goes for when they go into soil - you will have a much better success rate with the warm temps.

I got the same issue. I've invested in the Jarden, the lighting, the system and got my beans sent from our friends across the pond where they wear wooden shoes. 3 different genitic strains and nothing, nadda, no life. I've plastic bagged 5 of them with a damp cloth using distilled water, tried 5 in a bit of soil, tried 5 in two plates sandwiched... I am stumped. It's as if they were irradiated at somewhere in their trip. I am protecting them from light and placing them on the cable TV box that keeps a nice warm temp. I even tried filing the edge of 3 of them. What gives? Is it possible they were "exposed" to render them dead? They were beautiful when they arrived and I've gardened everything but this plant for years. It doesn't take a college degree to germ and I'm stumped.

I got a batch year before last, out of 32 seeds not a damn one germinated. I then went to my seed collection & promptly got 24 out of 26 to go almost immediately with the "leave them in water for 24 hours & straight into soil" method.
I suspect my had been hit with something as I got no response from the little bastards, but Sensibleseeds was nice enough to replace them even though seed banks are not responsible for results.
