Does it pay to start these from seed at this point?!

After several disasters with Park Seed company, they've assured me that that my seed will arrive in a shipment today or tomorrow!

Does it pay to start any of the following from seed so late?

Wax Begonias
Wishbone (Torenia)
Impatiens
Petunias

Thanks!

Just as an FYI, I almost placed an order with Park Seed Company (also known as "Park's Garden"). The prices were so right and the shipping reasonable. Luckily, I googled "park seeds ratings" and on Dave's Garden website, the Company received 86 negative and 10 neutral ratings and only 20 positive ratings (ratio of about 5 to 1 negative/neutral). I didn't place the order based on what I read in the reviews.

I wish I'd done the same...I still didn't receive my seeds...apparently, they are still in shipping and will be shipped out within "a couple of business days."
