B-man - thanks for the prompt reply and taking care of the problem! He’s already on top of it folks.
I do believe in brutal, unfiltered honesty all the way - honesty without prejudice! there are no hard feelings here. In the interest of full disclosure I should mention that my first order of seeds from FDM went flawlessly, I am also a repeat customer.
Mine are on a plane somewhere in the air about now, I too had to have the same, a pack of both 
Plus a few others 
once you understand the postal service and how it works you will learn that foam bubble wrap won’t protect seeds.
FDM in the house! 3 days later, I got the replacements today, thanks! intact this time, although once again packed in bubble-wrap. Some of them look a bit green compared to the standard C99 pack I got, but there’s definitely enough to work with.
I received a Saturday delivery in the UK @Baudelaire, will be opening package in next few hours. That was a fast delivery USA to UK 5 days 
This is great. Everyone happy with fresh seeds to pop…
Saturday delivery 100% sucess, Many thanks Mr. B. @Baudelaire
USA to UK 5 days including weekend delivery.
Pat on your back and a feather in your cap Mr B.

Much appreciated,
Herbie.
Glad you received your replacements. Without going into too much detail, its not correct to imply that the replacement package was sent “in bubble wrap again”. Our packaging for non-stealth shipping has been completely revamped - at 3x the cost of the former method. The new packaging does not go through letter rollers, because they are packages, not letters. Which is why your replacements were received in perfect condition.
We are continually evaluating packaging and shipping techniques to meet our customer needs. But those needs vary - some prefer tamper-proof branded hard cases, others want straws packed stealthily with no identifying visuals. We try to accommodate all while keeping shipping costs to the bare minimum, so that we can offer items like our $1 mixes.

FWIW, I’m using these next time I do a mailing, they look perfect and don’t force you to order 1000 of them:
Cinderella 99 around 34 days. What a pretty girl, already has a skunk fading with a lot of fruit showing up. Great job @Baudelaire!
I love it! What a nice plant!
It is beast, well a feminine beast.
Well i think you would agree that, is EVEN BETTER!!!
Alright, I just got my Fleur du Mal Seeds last night. I ordered 25-pack Durban mix and 25-pack C99 mix.
Started 12 of the C99 25-pack mix last night soon as I got 'em.
So first off, I want to say a huge thank-you to Charles. I’m new to this website and strainly, and new to paypal and just a few online things in general, but Charles was very patient with me. From the day I messaged him saying, “I want these” to the day I finally got it organized to pay him was like a week or so. And I had a bunch of questions on how to send payments and whatever and he helped me out, so I appreciate that.
Okay, then there’s the price. 50 seeds for $50 (+$15 shipping) is just like an absolute godsend. Thank you so much for providing these. I think these are really great seeds and I’m expecting high germination rates (I will post very detailed grow journals), as well as vigorous growth and some nice keepers. Honestly, this is what middle of the road cannabis seeds should cost post-prohibition. But the deal is insane when you consider the fact that these are some very desirable, well worked and well cared for (and personally appreciated) genetics, and the fact that we’re still living in a world where seeds require stealth shipping+have risk of confiscation.
Anyway. Onto how the seeds looked. First the Durban mix! Holy moly are they looking nice. all 25 arrived in perfect pristine condition and they’re all very dark with many thin black stripes and speckles. Small seeds, I’m fairly sure because of shared Durban gentics. But sincere question: I have also read that unstable hybrids may produce seeds of different sizes and I wondered: is there any truth to this claim, and is there something like that going on here, to make the seeds affordable? Like, do you sort the seeds by quality, and sell the larger ones as singles/packs and mix the smaller ones of similar lineage together? Just a total guess, but I wondered. (I mean no disrespect. It would be something I would do if I were a breeder with many seeds: I would hand select the finest seeds for my customers to improve germination results so I could ensure my reputation is consistent, but then with all those smaller not-so-primo seeds, I would bundle together and offer at a good deal to new growers. And so I was thinking like, “Oh hey, is that what’s goin’ on here?”
But I’m fine if it is. Because I know what matters is not the size of the seed. Well, I mean that can matter as an indicator of maturity to avoid under or over-ripened of seeds, but my point is that the genetic material is there. You have given me 50 tickets to a sold out concert. Not every seat is stellar, but most are awesome and I get to choose exactly which one I want. And with clones, it lets me see the show over and over again from any of the best seats in the house. (Best moms/keepers from the seeds.)
Anyway, I’m tremendously grateful. This is such a great thing. I wish more breeders would make affordable quasi-bulk orders like this. I am going to sit down and see if I can make it work, but these seeds are so affordable, I’m starting to consider building another veg room and ordering as many as I can get from you and have a proper hunt for some good moms, like popping 150+ seeds.
FWIW seeds from different strains will vary in size, usually sativa strains are smaller and indica larger. given the parent strains I doubt you will need 150 to find a good one
@Herbie germinated like 18 seeds from Mr. B and they all produced super buds! YOu are gonna be very happy. GUARANTEED! @Zinko!
@Zinko, I think a lot of Overgrow members including myself owe a big thanks to Charles AKA Mr B. _@Baudelaire _ Please keep up the great work good Sir
