Has anyone ordered from Ferri Seeds?

I found an online store called ferri seeds, they have a giant selection and I wonder if it's too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience buying from them?
 
It's a Canadian store which is positive.
The easier CP seeds will be available on the forum more cheaply.
Ferri seeds has a large range of seeds. Generally for specialty seeds like CP's, it's better to order from a vendor that specializes. That way freshness is more likely.
However the seed prices and shipping are not out of line of other vendors.
The usual caveat for all seed vendors: rare and difficult seeds will often have low or no germination. So try them out for easy and cheaper seeds. If these work out, you might want to try the rare/difficult/pricier seeds.
I tried them out, see my review below.

I order many times from them during the last 3 years. Some species need to be fresh seeds to be able to germinate so contact the seller to ask them. I had good germination rate for some seeds and other less depending of the specie and harvested date. I use GA3 to help germinate older seeds. You can ask them for better price if you order directly from them instead of ETSY

I was rather reserved in the post above. However I wanted to try Silene regia in our garden for the hummingbirds. The seeds were hard to find. The seeds weren't cheap and shipping was on the high side. The seeds came quickly and they responded quickly to emails. I had 14/20 germination. I mentioned that 3 seeds may have been damaged on arrival and they offered a partial refund! I was so happy to get such good germination that I declined the refund. So I am positive about them. I would offer the same caveat about any seed vendor: rare or difficult seeds are likely to be non-viable. But after my experience, I would be inclined to order again.
 
This is my one experience with Ferri Seeds. See prices below. Seed price is reasonable. Got 20 seeds (as ordered). 3 seeds were broken and I was offered a partial refund. 14 seeds germinated. 1 runt died. 11 are doing well. 2 more runts. I was offered consideration for the low number of healthy seedlings! Considering that shipping at other sites was $20, I think I got a good deal.

Strange to hear about problem ordering with them.

I ordered many times in the past and never had any issues. The service was great. They even came visit us to our Greenhouse.

It’s been awhile I didn’t order from them so maybe it changed owner or something elese???
