Ami, I have been drooling over their selection of squash seeds for 2 years, but have not ordered yet. Almost placed an order this morning, but when I came back to the website in 20 minutes my shopping cart was empty. This stopped me, at least temporarily .

I need to firmly restrain myself from ordering more squash seeds as I can only grow 6 varieties each year, to ensure no cross-pollination, and I still need to grow the other 71 from my personal seed collection.

Thanks Ami!!! Ouch - I didn't need to see that! I have no room left. In fact I already have to double the garden without more squash.

What an awesome selection. Now what do I do? Time to con a friend into planting "just a few" plants for me!!! It would just be tiny little squash & zucchini plants, barely even noticable .... I'll just tuck them in next to your pretty flowers here.... anyone buying that? anyone?

I can say that i´am very pleased with KCB...

I have ordered twice, there was never a problem, they were fast and the packages are filled with more seeds than expected.

Well, I got back to my shopping cart

...But could not figure out the payment method or shipping/handling charge.
The message I got said something about sending money to their bank account.

Ami or Simone, do you know if they accept credit card or PayPal? And how much do they charge for shipping?

Tania,

Jeannine is right...they accept paypal.

I will ask them how much they will take for shipping to Canada. On their homepage they inform just about the costs to Europe.

Tania,

KCB answered me - that was fast!

They told me that Canada is no problem. The shipping costs are, depending on how many packages you order:

1-5 Pkt EUR 2.00
5-30 Pkts EUR 3.50
30 Pkts or more EUR 7.00

Hope i could help you...

Simone

Thank you Simone and Jeannine, this is very helpful!

We'll see if I can still restrain myself from ordering...

[QUOTE=Simone;247123]Tania,

Jeannine is right...they accept paypal.


I just tried to checkout (yup, I got hooked FAST) and only saw an option for receiving an invoice. I did not want to confirm order to get an invoice, but maybe it was on the next screen where PayPal option appears?

Jeannine,
You are really making me do it . Plus Stan (my hubby) just came in, saw my hesitation, and said 'of course go ahead and order 'em!' So I am giving up.

Yes, let's combine the order. I will send you an email with the list.

That's what I saw too, but here they say that people from other countries will have some other payment options: http://www.kcb-samen.ch/shop/zahlung.php
