PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS

NOW THAT THIS THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE COOP FORUM, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ACTION. THIS IS GREAT! I WELCOME EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO PLACE AN ORDER. BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING ORDERING FOR THIS COOP.

ALSO, I HAVE NEVER ORDERED FROM NWBULB BEFORE, SO I HAVE ONLY THE INFORMATION THAT IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE. WE ARE BUYING BARE ROOTS, OR, IN SOME INSTANCES, ROOTED PLUGS, NOT FULLY FORMED PLANTS. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS AS I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE DISAPPOINTED.

NWBULB UPDATES THEIR AVAILABILITY LIST EVERY FEW DAYS. WHAT IS AVAILABLE TODAY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW. THEREFORE I NEED TO CLOSE THIS COOP ON MONDAY, APRIL 17 SO I CAN GET THOSE ORDERS IN.

I SEE THAT TERRY HAS ONLY RECENTLY REINSTATED COOPS ON DG. I ASSUME THAT WE ALL WANT COOPS TO STAY, SO LETS WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS ONE VERY SUCCESSFUL. ORDER THROUGH DMAIL, NOT THROUGH THIS THREAD, ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ORDER, AND PAY ME IN A TIMELY WAY. THESE PRICES ARE EXCELLENT!!

HAPPY SPRING AND HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

This nursery is wholesale seller with only a 100$ minimum order, and they sell to anyone. This is an opportunity to get together and buy some desireable plants very cheaply. Plants are sold in groups of 25 and the price per plant ends up being much, much cheaper than your local nursery, even if you can find some of these varieties. I propose that people on this forum who are interested do a group purchase. The plants can be mailed in bulk to my home, and then people can either come here and pick them up, or, if you don't live close by, I can mail them to you. I've given some thought to how this could work and here are the guidelines I have come up with:

1. In the next post, I'll create a list of plants that I know I am interested in, just to get us started. By the plant name, I'll put the price per plant and how many I would like. Note that they are sold in groups of 25 plants.

2. If you see something on the website that I have not listed, but you are interested in, DMAIL me and I will add that item to the list, along with your name and how many you would like. Please don't post to the thread asking me to add the item, because I might miss it. I'd like this thread to not get bogged down with too many posts, because I don't want to make a mistake. (That happened to me on the traveling gnome thread, and I don't want to repeat the experience.) When you dmail me, give me the name of the plant, the price of the plant, and how many you want. This way I can create a folder in my dmail just for this information.

3. If you see something on the posted list you would like to have, DMAIL me that you'd like your name added to that plant, and state how many you want. I will continually edit the list so everyone can see how many of each thing they are committing to and what is still available. When the number of orders reaches 25 for each plant, I will 'close' that plant. Anyone wanting that plant is welcome to add another group of 25 to the list and see if there are enough takers to round it out.

There are some plants that are so cheap that you might want to buy an entire group of 25 - great way to get that 'large drift of color or texture' look without paying too much. If so, just dmail me that you want the entire group of 25. I'll still put it on the list so it doesn't get confusing.

4. We should set a time limit for getting the order together - say two weeks from today. Then I will find out how much the postage will be for the order. We'll all have to split the postage evenly unless someone has a better idea. Also, for starters I'm limiting this to the NW forum just to keep it to a mild roar, but if there isn't enough interest to round out orders, we can open it up to other forums.

5. I will need for everyone to pay me for their part before I place the order. I will tally everyone's order and send each person a dmail with the total amount, including postage. If anyone is computer savvy enough to figure out how to do this using a spreadsheet or something, I would welcome the help with it. Numbers are not my strong suit. All the information should be on the list - name, price per plant, how many, and then postage. No sales tax. !

6. You can send me a check, or you can pay into my paypal account. But if you pay via paypal, I'd appreciate your adding in the fee they charge me everytime someone deposits money into my account. I'll have to check to find out the percentage.

7. When the plants arrive, if you live closeby and want to come help sort and fill orders, that would be great. Otherwise, people can make arrangements for me to either mail them or to come pick them up themselves. You pay for the postage for this mailing either through paypal with the added fee, or by check.

I don't think I left anything out, but if I did, just LMK. Here's the website. Keep a kleenex handy to wipe the drool off your keyboard!

PLANTS THAT HAVE 25 ORDERS ARE BEING REMOVED FROM THIS LIST AND PUT ON THE CLOSED LIST.

THE ORDERING CAN CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY ON MONDAY, PACIFIC TIME. (THAT'S ABOUT AS EXACT AS I CAN MANAGE) PLEASE CHECK THE THREAD MONDAY IF YOU ARE THINKING YOU WILL ADD TO YOUR ORDER SO THAT THE 25 PLANT THRESHOLD CAN BE REACHED FOR PLANTS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.

Do you have the current listing? Thought you may have got some orders in over the weekend. It seems senseless to post for items with low numbers at this point. Please let me know when you can.

Thanks!
Michele

If you are interested, email me what you want. I'll add your order to mine. I'll confirm with you tomorrow what plants were ordered based on the 25 quantity minimum. Then we can arrange payment. Your total will need to include 20% for shipping + .29% paypal fee +.30 paypal fee.

Then you can pick up from me or I'll bring to swaps if order arrives in time.

Hi
I know this is an old listing. Could you tell me how it went and if you are ever planning to do this again? Thanks
