I've had a few inquiries pertaining to our order to Iris Marie for
hoya cuttings. Iris had originally told me that she would begin
processing our order sometime this week and that if she was not able
to do so at this time that she would not have another opportunity to
do so until the week of July 4th.
So far I have not gotten any updates from her. That has been the norm
in the past and appears to still be. This is the third time that i've
hosted a consignment to the Liddles and usually you don't hear
anything about the order until it has actually been shipped. I added a
few new ones to my list last week and haven't gotten any
acknowledgment from them of my doing so yet .
If I hear anything I will promptly post here for everyone to see.
For anyone who has not taken part in one of these orders
before,there's not much to it.Basically here's how it will pan out.
Once I get word that the shipment is on it's way I will ask everyone
to please send me $8.95 for 2-3 priority mail to cover the cost of me
shipping the hoya cuttings to you. That can be done at my pay-pal addy
(
dmich...@sc.rr.com) or sending a money order. If you plan to pay
using a money order ,please email me for my home addy.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY AT THIS TIME.
It will normally take 2-3 days for the cuttings to arrive at customs
in LA. From there it can take as little as 1-2 days up to 1 week for
customs to release them to be forwarded on to me. Once I get them I
sort them out and send them on to each person who took part in the
consignment.
You do not pay me for the hoya cuttings. Iris will send each person on
the order an invoice via email. That can be anywhere from a day or two
after arrival up to a week or more after arrival of the cuttings. I've
been part of orders where I didn't get an invoice from them for 3
weeks but then again i've been part of orders where I got an invoice
the next day after the cuttings arrived.
The costs on your invoice reflects the price of each hoya
cutting,inspection fee,plus the cost of shipping and phyto
certificate. The phyto and shipping costs are split evenly amongst
each person on the order .
