Unfortunately the list states:Hedge wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:20 pm Any idea when the Swedes will get their magazine? We are now only getting alternate day deliveries of post ie M W F T T in any fortnight. The list becomes a total lottery at this point. I went for the pot luck selection last time I bothered and I still possess a cheque book (sonewhere).
Overseas members please note:
WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DISPATCH SEEDS OVERSEAS.
We will investigate the possibility of European distribution next year.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
I rather enjoy writing cheques and, as it’s becoming a rare pastime, relish the opportunity afforded by the seed list! I notice there is a decided lack of challenging Opuntia seed this year…luckily I ordered a few from elsewhere.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
I've used it a couple of times last year Ralph and on both occasions there were no charges. I wonder if it has something to do with individual banks or us not being in the EU anymore?ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 4:15 pmAnd is the exchange rate reasonable for countries that still do not use the Euro?Aiko wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 4:42 pm It should be free of charge and should make international bank transfers easier. That is why they have initiated IBAN a few years back in the first place, for as far as I can tell. I have never needed to paid for bank transfers paying internationally (well, within EU anyway).
Anyway, for whatever reason, it is expensive here.

It's possible the recipient is being hit with charges. Typically a several pounds whenever I get paid for a work contract from abroad.Ross M wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 1:12 pmI've used it a couple of times last year Ralph and on both occasions there were no charges.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
I checked before sending and it was free at both ends. There was a choice of service, a fast one that you paid for and a free one that took a couple of days.esp wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:51 pmIt's possible the recipient is being hit with charges.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
Further to my previous post, I've now stumbled upon last years seed order form on the website:
https://www.society.bcss.org.uk/images/ ... 6FINAL.pdf
So for greater completeness, here are the other links again.
https://society.bcss.org.uk/index.php/s ... -2019.html
https://society.bcss.org.uk/index.php/s ... -2018.html
Presumably the Dec 2019 list is around somewhere, but I can't find it.

Re: BCSS Seed List December 2021
Thanks for that info Ross. What bank are you with? Not that I am likely to order much C&S related stuff from overseas any more...
