I was completely satisfied with product and delivery time. Mr. Size promptly and graciously responded to my e-mail inquiries and was helpful throughout the course of the exchange. International shipping rates were very reasonable. Catalog was extensive, though a bit confusing, but this would certainly not prevent me from ordering from Seeds-by-size in the future.

I've used Seeds by Size for several years, and most recently ordered 5 varieties of Tomatillo. The order was fulfilled exactly and promptly. My experience of them has always been excellent.

I've been using Seeds by Size for the last 9 years. If you email John Robert Size he is very helpful and responds quickly, I've never had to phone him as the turn around on orders is good, occasionally I have had to wait for a few items but they come soon enough, as promised with his onward order notes that he ships with the main delivery in his very exciting and incredibly concisely packaged brown paper parcels.

I really like the website , its refreshingly different to read through the huge seed lists and whilst the pricing system does take a little getting used to, once you understand it , you'll find it so much more flexible than the pre-packaged options offered by most of the other sites.

I like to try out different varieties and hence sometimes I get spectacularly good results and sometimes very poor, but that has probably got more to do with my garden conditions than any fault with the seed. I've found that if I do get a variety to grow well , then performance is consistent on any repeat orders in following years.

I think its well worth a go if you are open minded to trying something a bit different in your garden , well thats part of the fun isn't it?

A bit slow! I would not mind only I did not receive a single reply or acknowledgement after making payment on 10 July 2008 and have heard nothing.
Courtesy emails are needed by seed companies if they want to keep faith with their clients. Many problems could be avoided if only companies sent their customers a brief email stating reason for delay and approximate time of shipment.
Will upgrade this to positive if things improve.


On August 3rd, 2008, Menk changed the rating from neutral to positive and added the following:

After emailing Seeds by Size, I received a reply stating that order was shipped 31st July. Time delay is therefore reasonable, but my earlier comments relating to courtesy emails still stands. Customers soon lose faith if kept in the dark.

Seed arrived, fresh and clean and probably twice as much as I had ordered. Professionally packaged.

I bought a large quantity of heirloom tomato, aubergine and pepper seeds from this company, and they arrived very proptly, and the prices were excellent. I sowed in bulk (hundreds of plants) and I have had very high germination rates.
