I contacted the owner before Christmas asking about the availability of two daylily cultivars - he replied fairly quickly, to wait until the new year, and then contact him.

I emailed on Jan 10th of 2006, asking again about the two daylilies. I received no reply.

On Feb 13th, I received an email from the owner, stating that he had the 2 daylilies I'd been asking about.

I replied that, as he had not gotten back to me sooner, I'd become impatient and gone elsewhere.

I received an email almost right away which said:

"I THOUGHT I SAID TO EMAIL BUT PERHAPS IT WASN'T CLEAR. I DON'T THINK WE WOULD HAVE WORKED WELL TOGETHER ANYWAY. I HOPE YOU FOUND SOMEONE VERY PATIENT AND GOT SOME GREAT DEALS."

I wrote back saying that I had emailed him, over a month prior, on Jan 10th, he hadn't gotten back to me. Other vendors responded within a day or two, so their service was better than his, a simple choice.
I also said that I thought this was a strange way to treat a potential customer, and I found his comments childish and unprofessional.

I believe that in spite of that last part of the sentence about the great deals, there was a definite insult implied at the beginning, and I would not deal with this individual again.

It took him 33 days to respond to my inquiry regarding the two products, but when I wrote that I was no longer interested in dealing with him, he replied with what I considered a rude answer within 24 hours.

I would not recommend this company.
