Ordered 8 packets of seeds on April 22 received them on April 28. All items received are well packaged. One exception is one of the seeds I ordered was out of stock so they substituted another which was close to the variety I selected( One variety of poppy for another variety of poppy). Probably they should have asked before substituting but overall still a positive experience. They sent extra packets of Hummingbird Variety seed which was a nice gesture and also another packet of seeds. Would definitely buy from them again.

I thought to follow-up on my original post to add additional information.
Now that the seeds are starting to bloom, I've found an issue with one so far. I order Scarlett O'Hara morning glory seeds. Now that the MG is blooming, I've found that it is not what I ordered.
I contacted Millington Seed Co and included a photo of the MG that bloomed to see if they could advise me as to what it actually was. No response.
I finally found out by posting a picture on one of the garden forums that what Millington Seed Co had sent was Grandpa Ott's. A beautiful bloom but not what I was hoping to have.
I've changed my rating to neutral since the Customer Service side of the company has not responded. I'm now awaiting to see if the other seeds they sent will bloom true to name.

Very nice packages! The seeds are clean and look as if there aren’t any broken or damaged seeds. They came in small reusable ziplock bags. I like these because some seeds like radishes and lettuce I plant every week during planting season and the seeds seal back up easily. Good growing instructions and most had a picture. I love this time of year. :)

Nice and easy to get around. They have a very large variety of vegetable seeds, flowers and herbs too. I received free shipping, got 3 free packets of hummingbird butterfly mix and was entered into a contest to win 50 free seed packs. I will follow up after planting my seeds. So far a great experience.

We started most of our seeds in flats. Got great germination results. Our plants all look nice and healthy. Can’t wait to get them in the garden. I highly recommend http://www.millingtonseed.com

They are having a contest to win 50 packets of seeds. You get to pick the 50 packs even. You have to make a 5 pack purchase to be entered in the contest. The prices are good. My 5 packs cost $6.95 with free shipping and a free packet of hummingbird butterfly mix. I got my seeds really fast year and they were all clean and had good germination.
