Seedman.com? Anygood?

I just ordered about $45 worth of different seeds, and I'm hoping to get good results. As far as searching on this site for prior reviews, I didn't find anything. However, I also looked on "Dave's Garden" site and there is a review there. It's up in the air according to them... reviews from as far back as 08 to present and scores were all over the board. Many recieved there shipments but were uncontent with the results of germination. Others were completely satisfied. Once I have recieved and have my own experience with them, I will also post follow-ups both on this site and "Dave's Garden". Thanks in advance for any added input.... below is just clips of what I ordered as reference.

Thank you for your order!

This is pic of back of packets received.... each packet has a brief and basic intructions pertaining that specified seed. Here's one example:

Chamaedorea metallica
Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water then plant 1/2" deep in sand/loam mixture. Keep mixture damp, but not too wet. Provide warth/bright light. Germination can take several weeks to a few months.
CAUTION: Treated with Sevin Dust. Wash hands with soap and water after handling seedlings.
Seed source: USA Lot: PT1472w Package size: 10 seeds

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
D1164 Golden Mimosa
Acacia baileyana
Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours, then plant inside trays in good, well draining potting mix. Give warmth and bright light. Germination slow and irregular over a several month period
Seed source: USA Lot: MA-35356 Package size: 5 seeds

I am trying one seed of each and 3 of Pieris japonica. Find out how quickly they germinate (if they do) and how long it took. I'll try to keep doing follow-ups n checkin routinely, even if I don't actually put up a post :-)
