Orchidhouse Asia: anyone in Europe know this vendor?

While looking around for the some of the fall blooming plant suggestions from another thread, I can across a vendor I had never heard of until now. They're called Orchidhouse Asia, and located in Germany. (Is anybody else jealous of the huge amount of nurseries german orchid addicts have easy access to?)

Has anyone ordered from them before? How are the plants? Customer service? Based on the photo on the website (examples of actual plants) they seem to have some nice stuff.

I have not ordered from them, but know their eBay from someone who did and had a good experience:

Their plants seem very nice and healthy, and they offer some Taiwan imports at good prices too.

Thanks for the info! I actually came across them on ebay first, and then went to check out their website. I noticed that the plants are cheaper on the website than on ebay.

Sellers have to pay Ebay 13% of their profit which adds up..
On a £300 order ebay makes £40 compared through his website where ebay get nothing he will just pay a fixed monthly cost to his website provider so Ebay sales should automatically be more expensive. Most sellers these days do reflect this added cost in their sales.

Thanks for the explanation. I haven't bought anything from ebay in years, and even then I didn't order much. I was often ordering from Popow and there was little to no cross over between ebay and website listings, so never noticed price differences.
