When I purchased these sunflower seeds they were $88.88 for a 50 pound bag, a bit better deal than I could find locally at Walmart (where I had been buying a 15 pound bag of sunflower pieces for $30, which, up until I found these, was the best deal I had found. I was a bit worried, due to some of the negative reviews, about finding mushy, wet, and/or moldy seeds, but I took a chance and bought them anyway. They shipped out super fast (within hours of placing my order), and also arrived several days before their estimated delivery date. The box was a little dirty, but the contents was clean, dry, and secure (no rips or spills anywhere). The seeds themselves were whole (I ordered coarse) and fresh looking. No complaints from my birds, squirrels, chipmunks, etc., who quickly gobble up everything I put out. If I have this experience every time I order...good value, fast shipping, good packaging, fresh product, etc., I will continue to purchase here.
