Very pleased with ease of ordering and order fulfillment. I'm placing another order for some clearance celosia seeds that I am unable to find anywhere else. I hate that they are becoming impossible to find and that leads to varieties disappearing forever, but I am very happy to have the opportunity to purchase them from a company that is so easy to do business with.

I tried this supplier for a specific variety of artichoke. My order arrived promptly, the price was good, the quantity of seed generous, the packing (unique "ziploc") was great and the order arrived in terrific condition. I'll update when the seeds germinate, but I am very optimistic and plan to use the company more in the future.

On March 8th, 2012, taufgardner changed the rating from positive to negative and added the following:

Sorry for this late update. Germination was deplorable. I have grown artichokes for years and they are tricky, but this experience was beyond poor. Only one seed germinated. I planted three artichoke varieties from three different companies in the same starting tray, so under the exact same conditions. The other two companies' seeds did very well, including some older seeds from one of them.

This artichoke will have to be extremely good for me to consider ordering these seeds from that company again.

I received an email from this company's customer service department offering to send replacement seeds. They did this promptly and I had a good experience. Stuff happens and I hate to base a whole rating on one limited isolated experience as I had described in my March 8th posting. I had tried NE Seed because they carried a unique variety and it was the only thing I ordered from them. I will try them again because their selection is somewhat different than the garden variety (pardon the pun) suppliers. Because they stand by their product (and they did so without me contacting them and asking for it), and my experience with the replacement was good, I feel much better about the company and its products.

Placed an online order with NE Seed, for a variety of squash I could not find elsewhere (of course I added another seed pack of peppers to the order). Quick order confirmation, fast shipping, and the seeds look great! Since then, I actually started 4 squash seed (I'm a small scale gardener), and they all germinated (that's 100%)!
The shipping is a bit expensive if you order just a pack or two, but next time I'll be prepared with a longer list! If one orders over $100 worth of seeds, shipping is free.
They have a variety of seeds not to be found elsewhere, and I'll be back for them. A great place to shop for veggie seeds.

I ordered from this company, because they had cultivars I could not get elsewhere. Prices are very reasonable, excellent amount of seeds, and service was excellent. Definitely on my list of preferred companies for next year.

New England Seed is one, if not the best company, I have dealt with. Their customer service is outstanding and prompt and my last order arrived 1 day after they charged my CC. It doesn't go any faster. I've ordered from them twice now and I can recommend this company to everybody. They don't even charge any postage on bulk orders, and always include a cataloge in their package. If you are a reseller, they really have great deals and a huge selection of seeds.
