You can get plants much cheaper and often at a better selection on official websites.Sort of agree, RCP is a good example of this. OTOH, you can get some amazing deals if you know where to look. The Heli Drop is absolutely incredible for helis and the closest in pricing to Wistuba I've ever seen in the US, and Cook's does huge weekly auctions where you have a pretty good chance of finding discounts.

The plants and customer service are absolutely horrible and the prices are also definitely too good to be true.

I know some people have had issues with him before and I'm not discounting yours or their experiences, but personally iirc the only issue I had was an order going out a week or so later than expected (which I was able to contact him over easily enough) so I'd lean more toward a "proceed with caution" than a flat "avoid". In short, not the best seller I've ordered from but still far from the worst.
