Sub recommendation (needs to allow picking despatch dates AND different each month AND fresh...) am I looking for a unicorn?!?

I am trying to build a bit of organised chaos to ensure a supply of fresh beans and more than one bean on rotation throughout the month, I have opted for trying a few subscriptions to come at a few different times throughout the month. So far I have signed up for;

- Gustatory and Dark Arts coming early on (both started recently and first Gustatory order and first Dark Arts bags arrived super early and would've likely been the 1st/2nd if not for the bank holiday, so thats perfect!)

- Batch Coffee Club coming in the middle (2 opposing bags in a box that despatches around 13th ish for me, should be just about right)

Now I need one more, and as stated above, I would like to be able to;

- Select it to come on a specific date (about 18th-21st ish maybe?)

- Have something different each month (preferably omniroast so it can make coffee in an Aiden and an espresso machine, so no super-light three month rest coarse filter only type stuff)

- Be fresh or just about ready to brew on arrival (1-10 days off roast is a fair range I guess)

As you can probably see, I aim to have a couple of different beans available in rotation at any one time, with a bit of a change every week or two.

I realise I might be reaching here, but if anyone is getting a really interesting bag of coffee on a subscription thats arriving around about the third week of the month, please let me know who/what/when/where!!

Obviously I only allow the help to use sous-vide water in my Americano now, but reading the paper whilst waiting for it to cool before pouring it into the tank is eating into my leisure time, and one of the packets split at the seam slightly, so now I dint know how much of the water in the bag is actually triple boiled third wave water and how much is the distilled glacial water it was heated in. Are there any more expensive sealers that might help with a workaround?
