Anyone had dealings with them?

I assume you are thinking of importing to the UK?

You need to check the regulations:

Seems to suggest that 5 packets of seed is OK.

The piece that I read says:

"Buying plants online or by post

Check that the seller can provide a phytosanitary certificate before you
buy any plants from outside the EU."

I didn't see the mention of 5 packets of seeds.

Maybe I worry too much about 'alien species' but one only has to look at
the havoc caused by the import of such plants as Himalayan Balsam and
other such plants.
