| Jerry and I had just had a trade. He sent his end very quickly, and supplied all the information on how to plant the Red Pine Cone Ginger. His communication was good, and he was very easy to work with. I would be happy to trade with Jerry again in the future.
Thanks Jerry!!!

| Recently completed a small trade with Jerry. He sent postage promptly. He was also very understanding and gracious when I was delayed in sending the seeds. Excellent communications; very pleasant to deal with. |

| I had a trade with Jerry in which I sent a large flat rate priority box full of Vinca Vine and I got a delivery confirmation for it. I sent several emails asking had the box arrived and were all the plants alright. I never received a response. The only way I knew that the box was received was by checking the delivery confirmation online. I seen several postings by Jerry so I responded to one of them asking about all the emails I had sent regarding the plants that I had shipped, then I finally got a return email stating that he had mailed me postage as soon as he got the box BUT unfortunately he had sent "cash". I still had the original email that HE sent to me during the agreement of swapping plants for postage stating he would be sending a Money Order for postage just as soon as the plants arrived first because he had been taken so many times before. Well I still do not have the postage but he has the plants. |

| A check was sent to sjackwheat for the full amount even though the plants where not what I wanted.. It has not cleared my bank but should just about any day. |

| Sorry to say it, but Jerry scammed me. And, stupid me, I didn't even realize it till just now. Jerry and I set up a trade. Mine went out to Jerry. Jerry didn't have the courtesy to acknowledge receipt of it. A week later I emailed him asking if he got it. He replied saying yes he did and he would mail mine out in a few days. This reply caught me off guard as we had agreed to mail on or about the same day. So to find out that it was over a week past the day we agreed to mail and he still hadn't shipped mine, had me questioning what was going on. But still I trusted him. I waited yet another week and still did not receive his package. I emailed him again asking if he had mailed it. He replied he was in the hospital. He said he'd be out soon and would get my package to me then. Being an honesty and trusting person, I believed him. I spent the last three weeks patiently waiting for his speedy recovery and was not at all upset at having to wait for his health to return before getting my plants. Until that is, I started to see him posting at various GWeb forums over the last two weeks. One of the forums he posted in just a few days ago was the Exchange forum asking for cuttings. So, it appears he's out of the hospital and gardening again and I'm up that proverbial creek. |

Jerry scammed me too.
Jerry and I set up a trade on June 9. I sent plant to him . He received my plants and I receive nothing from him until now.
Last email sent to me by his wife on july 13 said he is in hospital , he has heart by pass surgery.
But on GW he is asking for trade on july 14.Can you believed his story ? |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| I really do not know where fluffybonbon got her information and has I never had heart by pass surgery. I was in the hospital for blood clots in my legs. I did sent her the item that was agreed upon. The item she sent me was not what we agreed upon and when i sent hers to her it was not enough, she wanted me to send her more of the exact thing but double the amount and I told her 'NO" and it made her mad. As for crueltyfre we have talked and she is happy with what I am doing concerning her trade and she says she will respond on here agreeing to that. |

I followed through with Axelsrose2001 like she asked me too and appoligized for the mail system. I can not control what happens after it is mailed can I? I sent it priority mail and I have offered to resend and she does not want it.
I have made arrangements with crueltyfre. You can check with her and find out. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| Interesting to find there were others having some difficulties with Jerry, as I sent him vine cuttings via first class mail and he says they never arrived. But I must add, he did offer to send me the $5.00 it cost me, but I told him to forget it. His ailment described to me, in the beginning of June, was 'stomach trouble' I believe, and a hospital visit. Overall, it's taught me to never send anything, to someone I don't know, without the $ in advance. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| I just completed another trade with Jerry,one of many that we have had this summer.Everything went smoothly.He's always quick to offer me whatever he has and communication is great.Thanks!Debbie |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| Here's another sucker that trusted Jerry and got shafted. I sent him coral honeysuckle cuttings within two days of making a deal to swap, that was in July and I'm still waiting for the cuttings he was supposed to send to me. I got several emails saying he would "send them this week" but he never has. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557
| | |
| I am beginning to think I was taken too. I sent him my end of the trade during the first week of July and yet to get my end of the trade. I also got a reply from his wife saying that he had by-pass surgery after a heart attack :-( Feel bad for all the new traders that would miss out on good trades because of people like this. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| I need to correct my post; I sent my end of the trade during the first week of June :-( |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557
| | |
| Out of some 25-30 trades I have had some problems but I have done everything in my power to correct those problems to make sure the other end is happy. Most of the trades has not posted the positive remarks. One bad apple can spoil the entire basket. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557
| | |
| jerryngeorgia31557, I will be happy to post an update if you send me your end of the trade. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

I will do the same as kerai. You must send to us your end of the trade.
That's fair game here , GW site has many nice peoples.
You should be one too. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| After posting my negative experiences with Jerry back in July, he contacted me again and apologized for not sending me anything. He offered at that time to send the items and I agreed. I told him that when they came, I would update my review of him here. A slew of emails came and went discussing whether or not I wanted cuttings or rooted pieces, the heat, etc. And, once again, I sat back waiting for his trades. After making these arrangements with me, he then came back here to address some of his other negative reviews. In two of them, he mentioned me. In his one response he says he "made arrangements with me" (he did make arrangements, but he didn't follow through and send them)and in the other he says that I'm "happy" (I'm not as I still have not gotten anything from Jerry). It's been another two months. I ended up buying the vine last month.

I am still waiting for my cuttings, too. I emailed him several times and he was to complete his part early Oct.
Our trade was in July. Still have not received them. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

I've only done seeds for 3 stamps with Jerry, no problem there ( small thing- he offered to resend me lavender passion vine when it came partly crushed, told him no need to, there were enough good seeds, only wanted to tell him to use padded envelope or bubble wrap--if he wants to make successful trades), we talked about trading plants- as I was interested in his thornless blackberries, still am.
Now, reason for my post is, my simple and frank observation.
I think Jerry should let his wife handle making up on the missed packages. Truly, don't you think when a man makes 1 package he's done plenty for a month or more? ha
Not every man, of course, but take my neighbor for instance, not even thinking of packing the seeds, brought me a bunch of seeds and told me if I want more, plants too, just come over, when no one is home too. Another man is about to bring me a truckload of hyacinth bean vine, let me open and pack em, no way will he. Except, Jerry seems to have put in his mouth more than he can chew! I'm sure he's generous in person, as for Debbie, but this involves packing and shipping.
Reason I trade with very few men, however some are real good friends and once in a while they send a very generous package.
Whatever you do, hope you get your overdue trades taken care of Jerry, hope your health is ok main thing,nothing to fool around.
Just because we aren't trading in person doesn't make us matter less, just in general, honesty goes a long way. best wishes to all,
Bea |

Sun, Nov 1, 09 at 15:26 I am a new member and my first experience with the seed exchange was with Jerry. He has been so very helpful and kind and he sent me a generous amount of White Trumpet Lily seeds. They were well-packaged and I can hardly wait to try my luck at growing them. I have sent him some seed in exchange and I look forward to many more swaps in the future. (copied from anther thread) |

Jerry offered white trumpet lily seeds for postage. He sent them quickly and packaged well. No problems.
Thanks. |

| I had a good trade with Jerry. Thanks for the big envelope of lily seeds. |
RE: jerryngeorgia31557

| I've completed 2 trades with Jerry, one was SASBE and the second I received seeds back. Both times, communication was great and he mailed quickly. When he mailed seeds, they came in a normal envie so some were crushed but he sent so many that I salvaged enough good seeds that I felt the swap was great. It's been months since then, so I hope he took my advice and started shipping big seeds in bubble envies. Although our growing zones are different, I hope to trade with Jerry again. |

| Just had a totally positive seed trade with Jerry! He was VERY generous with the seeds he sent ("White Trumpet Lily" and "Mischief Muskmallow"), very friendly, easy to communicate with, and quick to keep his end of the deal! The seeds arrived in excellent condition! - "Thanks, Jerry!" :) |
