Thanks for your feedback. That's pretty good shipping time! As I said earlier, I was hesitant bid because the Seller did not seem to understand my request for him to wait for the labels and permit requirements from USDA that I said I needed to send him before shipping the plant.

Now, with your purchase, am I to understand that the Seller just sent you the plant directly, without any paperwork (outside of a Phytosanitary Certificate that he mentions in his ad), and without going to through the APHIS inspection station? Or did you first send him the green/yellow stick-on label from the USDA?

Like I said, I would like to bid on his next one if I can be reasonably assured that it won't be confiscated at the post office.

Thanks again for your feedback.
