Re: MSG Bulletin
I posted my seed order and cheque almost a month ago now but still not got my order. As I keep seeing everything is getting sold out I wonder if there will be any left for me...

Re: MSG Bulletin
As of last week there’s apparently a new ordering procedure, please see:
http://www.smale-conophytum.co.uk/MSGseed.htm
Because many items have sold out, members are asked to send their desired species lists to Jen, for which she’ll return a list of items that are still available, along with the total cost of the order. This should speed up the processing efficiency as well as sparing much disappointment.
I sent my order last Sunday, and indeed more than a few have sold out, but a bulk of them are still available. Good luck everyone!

Re: MSG Bulletin
I suggest Cactus Girl contacts Jennifer directly to see what has happened to her order, there are no outstanding ones more than 2 days old apart from those waiting for additional documentation.
Iann - more packets of seed and actual orders have been mailed in three weeks than in the total four months of the distribution last year. Something like 10000 packets of seed have been mailed. There are obviously lots of requests from China (via aliases in other countries) and Korea but orders from the USA are up too. I wonder if this reflects much of Mesa's produce going to the far east? I notice that they no longer have a wholesale listing of cono seeds.

Re: MSG Bulletin
MG had some logistics issues last year (and increased demand), which resulted in very long wait times and many species being sold out. Maybe that encouraged many people to pursue alternatives a bit more vigorously?
Re: MSG Bulletin
Indeed, I exaggerate not. This can be compared to 3 000 - 4 000 packets in the early days of the distribution. About half the members are now taking the opportunity to acquire seeds from the MSG.

Re: MSG Bulletin
I take it you have to be a member and provide membership details to get the seed (not that I am wanting any seed) just wondering if the MSG membership has gone up with new members from the Far East
