Very much agree with this! I've had problems with a couple sellers on this list and they did not resolve the issues in a manner worthy of note or just straight up ignored me.
I highly recommend Kameron with Bellamytrees. Every time I've reached out with an inquiry, concern, or problem he resolved it in a favorable way. IMO, hes the best professional seller in the exotic seed biz. His customer service is unparalleled and nothing short of incredible.

Dude, even many of the major nurseries take over two weeks to ship out plants from date of order. Everyone does these tropical seeds part-time. While I think many of the seed sellers could improve their avenues of communication, they have lives and this hobby doesn't have the mainstream interest to allow for these people to hire other people to handle this stuff full time. Therefore personal issues and obligations sometimes delay these things. With Bellamy I once had a big order fall through the cracks and take many months to get back to me, but Kameron apologized profusely and made things right. I've ordered seeds from many of the more dedicated sellers on here and every one of them has exhibited integrity and passion in what they do. Anyone who has been on this forum doing this for years has been doing something right, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do this. From Marcos to Raul to Kameron to Brian to the people I only know their usernames, most everyone here is doing a phenomenal job. These people sourcing in these rare and fascinating plants/seeds are making this hobby great. If you're new to this I can understand your concern, especially starting out the fear of getting ripped off is real when you're not really able to identify plants as well and you don't know who to trust or what's a good deal, but the regulars on this forum are really top notch. But complaining about a ~2 week delay is nothing and needs some perspective over what's going on in the background.

2 weeks and no communication. Personally, at this point I'd assume they're out of stock and are fighting silverfish seeing what they can throw together from the Y2K bin that hasn't yet turned into a puff of dust.

Like I said, communication is sometimes the weak point they may sometimes have that should be addressed, but complaining about not shipping within 2 weeks is silly. OneGreenWorld and Wanderlust don't even ship within two weeks a lot of the time. These people are hobbyists that sell a little for some extra cash, very few make this, or can make this, their full-time dedication. When you traffick in rare and exotic things you have fewer buyers, and then must balance a full-time job on top of this along with family and every other obligation. You may say, "well, don't get in business if you can't dedicate everything to it," but then we wouldn't have the access to these rare seeds and plants to begin with. There are very few sellers of these rare seeds to begin with. Hell, this forum is somewhat small and very old school (I love it) and yet is the largest forum dedicated to this hobby by a wide margin, there's just not enough interest in these things universally to be able to be on top of things all the time.
If you don't get an answer over email then shoot them a message on this forum. I think almost all are on here. Email these days is a somewhat unreliable medium due to spam, spam filters, etc unfortunately. That has always remedied communication lapses from the seed sellers I've had.
And this is by no means common to just seed sellers. Large corporations can be even worse.
Tradewinds is a little different, I have absolutely no idea who runs that website but I think that actually is their full-time business and their stock is incredible, but they have higher prices, don't specialize in the more obscure plants that Bellamy, Brian, Anderson, etc do, so I think they are able to be more consistent and quick and also make money on common seeds like garden vegatables, flowers, and the like.
I agree communication needs to be better! I've been frustrated and angry and afraid I've gotten ripped off in the past too. But all these people are reputable and you have to keep in mind that these are essentially part-time businesses by people with busy lives. When shit happened they bent over backwards to make things right. The main names on this forum won't let you down, and complaining about an order not being shipped in 2 weeks is silly.
