David Hunt orchids
He seems to have decent ratings there. Hard to figure
out why some seem to have no problem and others have a lot. I ordered like 30 plants in total, and am close to having lost a third. Seemingly doesn't make any sense. One I lost was an odontoglossum which shouldn't be a particularly hard plant to grow. I have way more temperamental stuff in my collection. Crystal -- http://home.attbi.com/~xtals/orchid.htm "John G.

I think one of the most important aspects in buying plants is that the seller/vendor informs the buyer of approximate delivery. This is so easy on the net. I ordered 5 Lycastes from John & no problem with them. They are doing great. Isn't there some place on the net that customers can complain.....I can't think of it off hand. Crystal, I would send the bad plants back regardless! Cheers Wendy "femalestrom" wrote in message news:BIaBa.1024957$F1.122700@sccrnsc04... Sorry this is so long. Okay... now I am bordering on ****ed. I've already decided I am not going to purchase from him again, so please do not offer this as an option. I have been trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, but I just can not anymore. I have gotten two orders from him. On the first order I lost 2 plants outright. One the bulbs were so shriveled I knew that no matter how much pampering it would not recover. The other blew leaves within the first week. I figured... the shipping would cost 1/3 the price of the plants, so I would just eat the price. Yesterday I tossed 2 more from this shipment. But he has recently changed his "return anytime" policy to three days. It has now been a month. The last order I received on Thursday of last week. I've already lost 2, and a third is not going to recover. Eriopsis bilboa came with black bulbs. I thought this was the way the plant was suppose to look until the leaves became engulfed after 2 days. The other... the bulbs became mushy within the same time. The third.. not going to recover. He doesn't tell you ever when he is going to ship, so they sat in the hot sun all day. One of those days it was still hot at 10:00, didn't get home until 8, and couldn't even finish potting everything till the next morning. Did I mention he has a 3 day return policy now? Today.. he sends me an email saying he had not gotten payment from my first shipment. Check written on the 24th the day after the shipment arrived, cashed on the 28th. I have a copy of it in my last bank statement. Now I deal with a couple bare root import vendors, and I have never lost so many plants. Despite ordering many of the same types of finicky varieties.. In his defense, the plants that have survived have done well.. but at this point I have spent several hundred dollars, and he makes it pretty clear he doesn't need my business. I would like to think I do not ask for a lot. Notification my order was received, and a heads up when my order is shipping incase I am not home. Honestly.. his customer service sucks.
