I'm not sure how legit it is. Anyone tried them before?

Hmmm, tough one.
I just perused their catalog, they only have Pings available, and the pics they use look like their plants are kinda small.
That's not saying that they look sus, but I would probably confirm that they have a decent guarantee before I ordered from them.
Just my opinion.

I wish I could remember the details but honestly, I can't. Just a memory of not being happy.

I ordered a p. gigantea from them this spring and even though it arrived just fine, I probably wouldn’t order from them again. I had to write to them about a week after I ordered it when I hadn’t heard anything. To their credit, they got back to me quickly, apologized for the delay, and sent it quickly. But it is was quite small for the price and I obviously the delayed communication doesn’t inspire confidence.

BUT if there’s something they have that you really want and can’t find elsewhere, it’s probably worth it. I don’t think they’re trying to scam anyone, they just aren’t as organized as they should be.
