GREAT Job Richard!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to take this on I know it is very time consuming...and having to keep everyone happy can be a challenge in itself!!!

YOU ROCK!!!!

It's the double-whammy! Today I received a large box from AgriStarts plus another box from the Davis Germplasm repository -- presumably full of cuttings. I'll open them up a bit later and post some pictures. Before that, I've got to pack up and ship some product orders.

enigma99a · 03-12-2009, 12:08 AM

Richard, is paypal going to work? Let me know when you are ready and I'll send it!

Richard · 03-12-2009, 01:00 AM

Here's the first of our 3 shipments, fresh out of the box and wrappers. As the saying goes, the box they sent the trays in was worth the price of admission!

I will pamper these plants for the next few days and then send them on their way. Tomorrow I'll contact those involved about costs.

harveyc · 03-12-2009, 01:28 AM

Richard, please clarify: are you holding onto my plants until the rest of my purchase comes along?

Thanks,

Harvey

Harvey, you're way ahead of me

First I need to make an accounting of what was ordered. 2nd, I need to take inventory of what was actually sent. Finally, I'll check with everyone individually by PM or email about delivery.

All of this will take a few days and in the meantime, the plants can have a nice rest from being boxed up.

Patty in Wisc · 03-12-2009, 07:12 PM

I was wondering same as Harvey. 4 plants s'posedly were just sent & the other 2 will come in 3 weeks. I don't know if it would be easier for you Richard, to ship separate or save the 4 & ship all 6 together. Would be less work in packing & less shipping to keep them together.

Taylor · 03-12-2009, 07:30 PM

Richard- do you have a close up of the plants? I'm just interested to see them up close. They look like little babies!

If not, don't worry about it. Awaiting your PM tomorrow.

Richard · 03-12-2009, 09:13 PM

Hi !

I just sent a PM to all concerned requesting some information. For anyone else (like Tog Tan!) who is following this closely, here is where we are in the accounting stages:

I was wondering the same - what payment methods are you OK with?

Patty in Wisc · 03-12-2009, 10:29 PM

Now comes the hard part for you Richard. That's a lot of orders to fill!!
I'm wondering what the numbers in far right collumn are(?)

saltydad · 03-12-2009, 11:31 PM

Richard · 03-13-2009, 12:28 AM

Thanks for the replies so far. I have posted an update:

Now for some questions:

Patty in Wisc · 03-13-2009, 12:44 AM

I will just send a check --- don't forget, paypal will charge Richard a percentage of total, unless you want to include that charge. I believe it is 3%.

Those who have visited my site know I use Google checkout.

Any fees that Google would charge me are applied towards my advertisements on Google, so really there is no cost to me that I wouldn't otherwise have spent. The reason that I volunteered to coordinate the AgriStart order is that (a) I'm already caring for a few thousand plants, and (b) I'm already set up for shipping, receiving, and online transactions. So perhaps a little extra work for me but we all get to grow more bananas and tropicals!

Patty in Wisc · 03-13-2009, 01:55 AM

What a guy!

Off topic, but did you see they are stopping that in May? I used CG as well, but their fee structure might make PayPal (especially PayPal micro) the better choice again. I hate they are getting rid of that, I thought it was a good trade off with what was spent using Adwords.
