hey forgot to report back sorry heres my list:
i have received all my orders except from herbies, which was reshipped a few days ago and will report back on that if resend gets through.
also of note all with tracking show as coming through in Sydney, none seem to go through Brisbane customs at all.
heres my experience:
attitude: did eventually come, ended up only being 17 days total transit time. support were very helpful when i queried them as it had moved for awhile once it hit Australia. high quality stealth, im still using the "stealth" item it was shipped in lol (insane amount of freebies, paid with bitcoin, more freebies then seeds ordered)
bonza: ordered with "extra stealth" had some issues with the bitcoin payment but once they tracked it down and it was sent everything went smoothly. was around 17-20 days also i think. stealth item was actually high quality and usable. i sold it on Facebook classifieds lol. freebies pretty much non existent (ordered 5 seeds, got 2 freebies) if paying with bitcoin i'd suggest seedsman or attitude for freebies.
seedsman: used the no tracking option, stealth was good. bitcoin freebies were insane, well worth it got more freebies then seeds ordered, if paying with bitcoin highly recommended. got here in about 20 days i think.
mephisto: ordered direct from them for some of the limited double grape, ordered july 30 didn't get here until near the end of sep. coming from spain was interested to see how it compared to royal mail. i guess it was about the same time as the others all said and done but tracking was terrible didn't seem to work at all lol, however guys at mephisto are awesome. for only placing such a small order i ended up with 10 beans, also BEST STEALTH EVER. without giving away too much. i now have the pleasure of knowing george harrison had a solo album lol
herbies: used super stealth option, and like i said first order failed. weird considering all the others using royal mail got through, this just got stuck in Sydney. support were super helpful and promptly did a resend. however bit frustrated with the whole experience with herbies. ordered on the 3rd Aug, confirmation sent on the 4th, but not shipped until the 8th?
i'd place Attitude at the top of my list if paying with bitcoin, then seedsman.
for stealth i'd rate bonza highest then attitude.
so pretty good out of all the orders i placed and issues i had heard not really any big dramas except for herbies, which has done a resend and i'll report back if that gets here.
i would still recommend getting an option with tracking and guaranteed resend, considering it didn't matter either way, however if my seedsman order didn't get here i doubt i would have got a resend
