you've never bought seeds from hemp depot then! LOL add another week for your snail mail order to get there.
it's all good though. the IMPORTANT thing is that you get your beans. i USED TO order from doc all the time and enjoy getting my beans until the $120+ order i placed OVERPAYING at least $15 on nirvana strains just because i liked their freebies and "good news! you've got incoming!" emails and delivery in usually 10 days or less and got NADA for my dinero. as long as i get my beans, i'm happy and have learned to make an adjustment waiting for orders.
i think maybe when you order makes a difference. i've been trying to make a point of ordering on the 1st day of newsletters lately and have gotten my last 2 orders in under 2 weeks where i used to wait until the last minute and get them in about 3. maybe they go through their orders in the order they were received and i bet they get a lot at the beginning of the month. i bet 80% or more of the orders are on those 3 days. i've seen a few people that always get their orders in 10 days or less. if it isn't a 1st come 1st serve thing, then maybe they do something like stagger their orders by state or zip code.
when you get all those nice freebies, they more than make up for the wait to me. you don't get anything from most banks. just getting your order is the important part. some banks don't even do that and some switch out to schwag when you order big buck gear.
