One of our local seed/greenhouse supply companies sent out their catalog for 2005 without prices. I like to buy locally but... I don't have time to call for each price before deciding who I order from.

I could not be more unimpressed with Revolution Seeds. (This is my Bah!
Humbug! post for Christmas! ;-D) The naivete of the proprietor, the
*UNBELIEVABLY* high prices for the garlic offered, the promises of amazing
squash seed that somehow never make it into his catalog just make the
entire catalog a wonder not to behold.

This didn't set too well with me:

WHEN TO EXPECT YOUR ORDER

My wife and I are very busy people. Emily works
full-time and I am in graduate school full-time (and then
some). Therefore there may not be a swift turnaround time on
your order. It may take us several weeks to pack and ship
the seed (and/or books) you select. If this occurs, please
be patient with us-we will get your seed to you in time for
planting for your climate.

-----------------------------

OK, if you're too busy to give my order prompt attention,
then I don't order from you.
It's a matter of priorities, I suppose. If your customers
are not your priority, then ... I don't think you will be in
business very long. Especially if you are silly enough to
actually TELL them that they rate low on the priority scale.
