Greetings Plan Lovers,
Isn't if funny how things work out! A few hours after making my last post about the beans not arriving, guess what the mail-man showed up with - that's right, the beans arrived! I'd actually already contacted herbie asking the order be resent - but I sent them another email letting them know the package arrived safe and sound. No need to put out bad Karma by trying to get underhanded freebies from a company that's provided great customer service.
Thanks for all the input and responses. I'll catch you guys in the newbie corner as I get ready to embark upon my first tent-grow experience.
Keep it classy!
