    I ordered some seeds from Mark Davies 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing from them. I have emailed them 3 times and called and left numerous messages but no response. Do they still exist? Can anyone help.?

      Thank you for the message. The website works and they take the money but no seeds and cannot get hold of anybody by email or phone. Will just get the credit card company to claim the money back.

      I used them in March this year for Aloe polyphylla seeds. Arrived quickly enough and all seeds germinated

      I would be inclined to tell them by email and a phone message that as you haven't heard from them you are going to get your credit card company to cancel the payment and give them three days to respond.

          All ok, they had an issue with their systems but all sorted and seeds arrived yesterday and all look good and very clear, concise instructions for planting and growing.

            Ive been waiting over a month, they dont reply to mail, no correspondance or communication whatsoever. I find it very frustrating! What does it take to contact a customer and give an indication of when the seeds will be delivered

            Hi Debbie, message him on his ebay account as it worked for me. Got the seeds but had no response until did that.

              Perhaps 'Mark Davies' own website is rubbish?

              And it's best to order using his ebay store?

              Ive ordered from both the web site and ebay and never had a delay. The seed quality seems to be very good too.

              Had 100% success with Aloe polyphyla from him.
