You are a wonderful spokes person and diplomat, Woofie.

My order moved from T-mail
1 Omoshiro I have wanted this
1 Cassis
1 Crystal Fountain
1 Midnnight Showers
2 Dawarf Canna "Pink Sunburst"

Then these but they are from another thread
1 Aeonium arboreum Variegatum..........$7.00
2 crassula capitella RED PAGOTA....(starter cuttings) @ $7.50= $15.00
1 Aloe polyphylla Swirl.....$8.50

Thanks !!

Yes Woofie

That is actually how i figure shipping I know about hoe big the plants are and figure what size smallest box they fit in flat rate ....then i take and also know about how much the thighs weight and mock up a box and use the shipping calculator and see if it is lower flat rate or by weight and size of box and here is the Kicker that is to estimate the shipping .....WHEN I DO PACK THE BOX I PUT ALL PLANTS IN WHAT I THINK IS BEST AND REEVALUATE WITH WEIGHT VRS FLAT RATE AND WHICH EVER IS LOWER IS WHAT I USE AND IF YOU OVER PAID SHIPPING I GIVE YOU THE CHOICE CASH IN BOX..PAYPAL REFUND...CREDIT TOWARDS NEXT SALE OR MAYBE EVEN AN EXTRA PLANT. iT TAKES ABOUT 45 MIN A BOX ....NOW TELL ME ANYONE OR ANY COMPANY THAT WILL DO ALL THIS AND WHAT I MAKE OFF THESE PLANTS IS LESS THEN 2-5% MAYBE MOST ARE ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST NICKLE.


MY BIG CO-OP THAT WOOFIE MENCHENED I FIGURED I MADE 34.00 AND THE REASON IS 98% OF THE SLIGHT OVER CHARGE IN SHIPPING LIKE 1.00 HERE AND THER PEOPLE SAID FORGETABOUT IT YOU DO WAY TO MUCH AS IT IS. AND I GOT A 10.00 TIP IN THE MAIL FROM SOMEONE AFTER 3 MONTHS THEY SAID THEY NEVER HAD SUCH GREAT LOOKING YARD NOT THAT ONE ALSO SPENT 350.00 IN PLANTS lol WOW

now i deal in most small very affordable plants this is the first year i have ever listed premium or upper scale plants and bulbs but i had people ask me to other wise you rarely see me pass the 6.00 mark on anything which means you might loose a plant or bulb here and there but you still way ahead anyway I do this so i get cheaper plants and i sell on ebay for more profit and retail areas that is where i make my profit. I have learned over the last 8 or so years of doing these when costing plants out you have to really be careful when i buy wholesale plants they also charge me a boxing fee and if its cold a winter pack fee and all that adds up quick that is why i say if you do find lower price before you say anything make sure you figure all costs from that store or mail order company because I HAVE


but the best thing is all the new Friends i make I have 100's of people if you say chefmike or mike hicks 90% that have delt with me are still friends

when the Thailand sale is undercontroll we will start to play a few games on here and i give away plants some out of my collection and some off the co-op so stay tuned

This is the last one I fine with a winner

Hello Mike,

The last game you posted was on January 26th., in post # 350926:

"Ok i asked and for all of you who seem to like to help a OR GET (WIN) FREE plants or flowers here is a game ......

the only rule is you have to give a comment on what YOU like to see on a spring CO-OP (no veggies fruits or edibles) that one will be different

then guess the answer to this question the closest will win ( i dont know untill i finalize the co-op and the spread sheet)

How many different choices will you or anyone have on the co-op that i will name ....spring flowers..... on the date it opens i tend to add or subtract during the co-op so the day it open's!!!!
where one had to name,"


As far as I know, a winner has not been determined yet.

Shirley

Could I please order 3 more Eyeliner for a friend of mine? Thanks. Teri

Yes now problem

FYI SPREAD SHEET IS 99% DONE i have to do some formulas and post later tonight as i am almost always here at 3-5 am due to no sleep that means we can play another game i will announce all the winners and ...... ...................

NEW SALE WILL START BY MONDAY!!!
Hibiscus and geraniums

Will they be hardy or cajun hibiscus??

there are gong to be both kinds what are you looking for

the Cajun are very hard to fine this year might be very limited by the choice and quantity and price

I may be interested in the Hardy Hibiscus, depending on what they are.

Maybe one of each.

Hi MIke!

Okay, new to your co-ops but have been anxious to get in on them. Have been renting while house hunting. Now we are under contract & supposed to close march 15th. Here's the big question Mike ---- 5 or 6 weeks will be just about the time we are moving --- in total flux. Can you send just a little later? Like 1 or 2 weeks? And I will need to tell you the address AFTER we close. Is all that okay with you? Is it doable?

And finally --- is there interest? --- can we get any one or all of these?
Species Iris (Iris domestica 'Hello Yellow.')

Tall Bearded Iris (Iris 'Freckle Face')

Species Iris (Iris domestica)

I want 1 of the Fern cliff Illusion Dahlia

and a blue toad lily

THE SPREAD SHEET IS OPEN!!!!!I just hope it behaves its a pain
