4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality Herbs
The seeds arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. Mine did not come in little plastic pouches (as pictured). They arrived in what looked sort of like pill boxes with the name of the seed in each section printed on the tab. The pill boxes were shrink wrapped and delivered in a padded envelope.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Shipping/customer service
Product was fine when I finally got it. The company made a FedX label and never sent me the product. I had to call FedX and they told me this. Then I had to e-mail the company and tell them and finally they sent me the order over a month late. It was a disappointing experience. I will not shop from this store again.
Disappointed.....

The seeds arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. Mine did not come in little plastic pouches (as pictured). They arrived in what looked sort of like pill boxes with the name of the seed in each section printed on the tab. The pill boxes were shrink wrapped and delivered in a padded envelope. I planted them a few days after they arrived and at this time most of them have already started to sprout and grow. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because they did not arrive with any planting instructions so I'm not sure if the ones that haven't sprouted yet needed something done to them prior to planting or if they are just slow to sprout.

This herb growing kit was perfect for my dad who recently got into growing his own spices. It comes in an interesting and LARGE pill container separated by spice and labeled. He loved it.

These herbs arrived in neat little containers, and were very well packed. They also had excellent directions for planting each one.

I have not started my herb garden. Item was well packaged, organized and labeled. I do wish it came with info on how to use the herbs, or when to use what herb(s). You do have to prepare the seeds before planting.

I will never order from this company again. The amount they charged for shipping such a small package was outrageous. When I placed this order, I also placed 2 other orders, book orders, with other vendors; their shipping rate was much cheaper and I received both book shipments the day after my herb seeds arrived. You pay this huge shipping cost to be sent FedEx yet I received my book order via postal service at a much better rate and almost as timely manner. Plus I placed my ordered because of the reviews, others wrote stating that their seeds arrived in small pill type containers, my ordered arrived in plain white seed packets. I was giving this as a gift and very disappointment. I would have been better off if I had gone to a local nursery and purchased seed packets. Again, I will never use this company again, a huge rip off!!!!

Grossly overpriced item. No planting or growing information included in shipment. I'm sorry I purchased this item and would not repeat the purchase. I'll go to a home store or garden shop in the future to purchase seed packages. Much better bang for the buck.

Very disappointed in this sellers packaging. They came in one big mylar envelope each in a small labeled white paper packet. They have an est amount of seeds contained and it is grossly over stated.
The Thyme seemed empty so I opened it.....I counted the seeds.
Estimate was 100, I got 29.
Sage....Estimate was 150 I got just over 100.
I feel ripped off but it is too much a hassle to return. Avoid this seller at all costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat Organized Package, July 8, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Assortment of 12 Culinary Herb Seeds - Grow Cooking Herbs- Parsley, Thyme, Cilantro, Basil, Dill, Oregano, Sage, More (Kitchen)
This product comes in a bunch of small plastic boxes linked together. It looks like one of those packages that seperates out the pills you should take by day or time. This packaging is very nice. You can show it to your kids and they can see all the seeds at once and can review which ones they want to plant. You can open it up, give them some and then close it again easily. Maybe it seems like I am making this a bigger deal than it is but if you were to put away bags of seeds you would need to secure them, protect them from moisture, and find a spot to organize them. For these seeds that is already done. And you keep the packaging.

I was disappointed in this order when it arrived. The seeds were packaged in individual paper envelopes which showed no information on planting depth, germination, sun, soil, watering needs, etc. There were also fewer seeds than the pictures shows in the plastic bags. It is too early to know how well they will grow.
