RIU members praise herbies because herbies is the forum sponsor/vendor,just like members of ICmag praise Seedbay/Seed Boutique because it is the forums vendor/sponsor.
That being said,I know plenty of people that haven't had a problem with any of those three seed vendors nor the Attitude Seedbank.
I praise herbies because
1: Herbies seeds are cheaper than attitude
2: Herbies doesn't charge extra to ship discrete like attitude does. They'll even ship super discrete for no additional cost. Does attitude do that? NOPE
3: Herbies seeds hardly ever(I've never heard of a case) get confiscated by customs. Attitude especially recently are getting confiscated by customs in Chicago
4: Herbies ships FAST, aside from the one order that the post office
lost, orders get to me in less than 7 days (not business days)
That is why I order from herbies. I also run adblock so I don't even see that sponsor shit, I had no idea about it until I logged in from another browser one day.
