I am keeping my fingers crossed! Keep up the good work, and thanks for replying so quickly! On March 4th, 2015, Lilyhazen added the following: Got a notice that one of the items I wanted was now available, so I ordered and got it quickly. I really appreciate that! If I could make one suggestion--if someone orders something after being on the wait list, it would be nice if the price of shipping (which is great) could be reduced a bit. Getting one packet is doubled in price by the shipping cost. Still, a great company! On February 17th, 2016, Lilyhazen added the following: This company is amazing! I ordered February 9 and received the seed on the 12th? Were ya'll standing outside my mailbox? I was very pleased with last year's seeds.

Positive | KYhomesteader (1 review) | On Jan 29, 2015, KYhomesteader Columbia, KY wrote: I have purchased my vegetable garden seed from Victory Seed Company for two years now and have been very pleased with the seed and with this company. They have an excellent selection of rare and heirloom seeds. The website is helpful and easy to navigate. My seeds have performed well with good germination rates and high production. I received both of my orders very quickly. Everything was very well packaged and I have never had anything missing from an order or a seed packet that was short on seeds. Their customer service has been the best I've ever experienced with an online retailer. They are incredibly helpful and courteous and have gone out of their way to make sure I'm a happy customer. I love that they were an early signer of the Safe Seed Pledge and that they are not in the tiniest way affiliated with Monsanto or any other GMO seed company. As for the person complaining about the optional package insurance (and taking pages and pages to do so) - good grief he needs a new hobby! I've bought and sold stuff on websites like eBay and Etsy for years and package insurance is ALWAYS an option and the seller is NEVER responsible for a package once it leaves their hands. That is common practice!! Please don't let that disgruntled and unreasonable person discourage you from doing business with Victory Seed Company. This is a company with integrity that really cares about what they do and about their customers. I intend to do business with them as long as I can still dig in the dirt.
