I have bought items from SNW a few times.
The first time in 2004 when I was a member of the Plant of the Month Club. If I am remembering correctly at that time it was split into 6 month or 12 month categories. I was on the 12 month plan. The plants came on time, were packed nicely and were healthy. Each package came with care guides and everything was labeled. It was an excellent experience. I still have a plant from that time while the others perished when I left them at home with my plant killing mother while I was at college.
The next time I bought from SNW was in 2012 when I was shipping the potting mix. I did this twice. The price of the item was mostly fair however shipping was horrid (this is however not this vendors fault). The package always came on time.
The last time I did business with SNW was in September 2013. I bought a S. alata x leucophylla. It came right before I left for the beach. I had not noticed that the vendor had specific shipping dates which was my fault completely. The plant came well packaged and was protected while shipped in a make shift case made out of cups attached to each other to encase the entire plant. It was quite humorous and very much appreciated. The rhizome looked to be in good condition and the plant was much larger than I was expecting!!
The only reason that I am giving a 9.8 instead of a full 10 is because I am bitter that it did not have more of an alata look like the one in the picture did on the site. However I do know that their plants are excellent and I will love this plant dearly!!
Here are some pictures of my most recent experience.
