They were ok as far as I experienced. Rated slightly negative in the
plants by mail faq. The most common beef seems to be that they are
prone to make substitutions without informing the customer. But
what they send is generally healthy and ready to grow.

For user ratings on this and other companies, see:
http://davesgarden.com/gwd/

I have had bad results with companies other people have gushed over.
(That's why it always appropriate to suggest YMMV.) But any of the top
rated companies on the above site that I've dealt proved worthy.

If you're looking for some of the less common bulbs, take a look also at
www.whiteflowerfarm.com. I've had good luck with them over the years.
