The goods ordered arrived safely and within reasonable time.
Huge amount of different species. Easy to order and the package came to Finland with no problems. This is my first Dutch-Bulbs order so I still don't know the quality of the bulbs.
The company's site offers great detail on the products with very good photographic material. There are instructions on planting and care. There are periods of great offers on the bulbs if you are patient enough to wait. Generally speaking, this is a very good company and the items that I received are of very very good quality and 95% of bulbs already sprouted.
Although my package arrived 11 days late because of Postnord (Swedish postal service) with dead plants inside, Dutch Bulbs have been very helpful in this matter. They answer their e-mails quickly and are assisting me in any way I ask them to.
Dutch Bulbs have gained my trust and despite my bad experience (not their fault) I will be purchasing from them in the future.
