Thanks guys for doing the job so well.

Completely agree as well.

Got my seeds today and a big Thank you to all members of the team involved.

Seeds arrived today. Thanks to all concerned.
Received most of the desired ones so very pleased. As they arrived with an avalanche of post having had no deliveries this week I am thinking the covid absences at the local sorting office must be resolving themselves.

Know our local delivery office has been under pressure for a few weeks ... Covid ....plus ...

Postage delays are all over the place. Karl Rabsilber (Germany) posted a parcel to my son’s house in France on Jan 3rd. Its not arrived yet. But my son is also waiting for a parcel posted in Spain on Dec 27th.
It brings a whole new meaning to snail mail…

I am still waiting for some seeds from Sweden. Sent late November. I do have given up already. But I could still be surprised. Let's hope it happens not later than early April, right in time for sowing...

Snail mail in France .... perhaps

I had a parcel from Korea, sent Wednesday morning, arrived Friday afternoon having travelled via Frankfurt, Leipzig,
Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick. Efficient delivery does exist!

My seeds from Mats, were posted 16th November, arrived December 29th. Don't give up yet Aiko.

I received my seeds last week, and only got around to planting some a couple of days ago.

An issue I found is that one of the packet I ordered, not sure whether it was Conophytum calculus or Conophytum minutum isn't what it is suppose to be, the seeds were a lot bigger than the usual conophytum size, some have germinated but it had two starting leaves instead of a little conophytum blob.
