yea. herbies told me about only accepting cash from u.s now. and back in day I did the cash route with them, always got my order though. and usually under 10 days, that's with having to mail in payment. now im somewhat more grounded and responsible and have things like debit card lol. and they are only taking cash lol... they told me that the banks are refusing to pay them their money on seed orders.... anyways, having done it in the past I would still trust herbies, but would only order small orders.... as far as mephisto is concerned I do believe they are legit, and the fact they are a smaller team that makes me wanna support all the more. was probably a small technical issue they were having. only reason I was concerned is not getting payment confirmation. back a few months ago Nirvana seed comp did me dirty on a $75.00 order. I paid online, then never heard from them. I contacted them to be told I never paid. I forwarded the email their paysite sent me, then waited, and waited, finally contacted them again just to be told they never received payment. they sure billed my account. my bank told me that's the danger of doing business online over seas. And so when a week went by not hearing anything I was sketched. because everyone told me Nirvana was legit, maybe they are but they did me DIRTY!!! I don't believe this will be the case with mephisto, I just don't get that feeling. as a matter of fact while typing this I finally got a payment and order confirmation from Bill @ mephisto. so there we go. its like their psychic lol. must be their awesome genetics!!!!! now I will rest easy. and just hope they mail me out that sweet gear soon lol.
