Seed Distribution
I know it's a hard task with sorting and distributing the seed, as I've done it myself. But why can't the member's orders who have not selected rationed seed be sent out now. I'm not aware I ordered any rarities.

Re: Seed Distribution
What's the hurry? I won't be sowing any seed until spring...

Re: Seed Distribution
As far as I understand it all the maybe 7-800 orders are when received effectively put a hat and then once they stop coming in any numbers, orders are drawn at random and fulfilled, to actually check orders and see if they only contain seeds in plentiful supply would put undue additional work on the two who do this.
Please be patient, your seeds will be with you in ample time to sow for the growing season.

Re: Seed Distribution
Had a message from my wife to say mine arrived this morning. I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing what I've got. Thanks very much to Jeff and co for their hard work.
Cheers

Re: Seed Distribution
Mine have just arrived, revealing my inability to properly count the number of packets ordered. (only one out)
However the team have sorted it all out and a nice selection it is too - not everything I wanted but most of them.
Apologies for the extra work and thanks for all of your efforts, it is appreciated.

Re: Seed Distribution
Mine are here too. No substitutes. I didn't think I'd ordered anything too much in demand, although perhaps I did since a couple of packets had less than 10 seeds. No tentacled Astrophytums, anyway Or perhaps I was just lucky and came out of the hat early.

Re: Seed Distribution
Many thanks from me too, and I won't be sowing them until March either. Just what I ordered!

Re: Seed Distribution
Just got mine in the post. I got two out of the eight I ordered, with six substitutions that I didn't want. My requested substitutes were sold out. Rather frustrating. At least the seeds are cheap.
