Rarepalmseeds.com, What Is The Deal With This?

So I have been looking at the site called "rarepalmseeds.com" and it has me questioning how trust worthy it is. I know, people probably talked about it before, I probably have too, just I forgot... But, does anyone have any experience with this site? Does it just look good but actually isn't?

In most cases, probably best to order seeds that have new in front of the name.

Or choose the "germinated" seeds when mentioned on some species

Thank you all! I am glad to hear so many good things about RPS! So it really is like a kid in a candy store! I will definitely place an order from them some day!

 I changed my tactic too by only purchasing seeds that are marked as fresh. This time two groups of seeds (marked as fresh!) all hopelessly rattle and float (after a day in water) even that I purchase only fresh seeds (as marked on their site) and I asked RPS to mail me fresh seeds or issue a refund. Will keep updated on what happens.

Also, the Newsletter on RPS that I have been subscribing to for years I never received a single shot from them, neither in spam folder. What receive you?

Average day temperatures: +17°C in the winter and +24°C in the summer. Typical Summer: 68F to 77F (20C to 25C). Typical Winter: 55F to 64F (12C to 18C). Record Low (past 5 years): 45F or +7.7C (once a winter, some winters). Record High (past 5 years): 83F or +28C (some days only). Elevation 140 m (459 ft.) to 160 m (525 ft.), latitude 38.54º.
