There's a thread about Lemon crystal cues somewhere and I posted on there about my seed order.  Last Thursday I ordered buttercup squash (and cues and spring onions) from :

http://www.eseeds.com/c-3105-cucurbita-pepo-burgess-buttercup.aspx

I ordered at 8.00am and they arrived the next day, I was well impressed and no postage charge.  

The best bit was the packets I ordered were from 3 different suppliers which could have meant 3 lots of postage and they sent me some free morning glory seeds too.  I was well impressed! ;D

Olive Oil - and any other poster:-

Please do not give seedfest as a recommendation. They are taking our money and we are not receiving the ordered seeds. See thread:
