MSG seed ordering instructions

[Darren S]

My MSG bulletin just arrived. Great seed list with a full page of 'terms and conditions' for ordering but no actual instructions for doing so. I might just be being dense but if anyone has this info perhaps they could post it here?

Have you sent in your email address? If so, you'll get an email, most likely today, with a spreadsheet and instructions. Otherwise you'll be doing it the traditional way with a piece of paper, an envelope, and a stamp.

Hi Iann. No I didn't. But I can't order on paper either as they have not included an address or payment details....

Have emailed to enquire.

The list was done a bit last-minute to be squeezed into the late 2021/4 bulletin rather than the 2022/1 bulletin which it would normally be in, so maybe a few details got lost in translation. I've pm'd you the instructions, but now that you've made contact you'll probably get all the email details anyway.

I thought the same thing when the journal arrived, but the email came a couple of hours after the post lady, so I’m sorted.
The spreadsheet was very easy to use, easier even than the ADBLPS one. Great job!

ADBLPS is great on the whole, but the ordering form of ADBLPS can be a bit easier and more user friendly. MSG and Succulenta and some of the Czechs do this easier, by showing the list of species available and the corresponding column to enter what you want and how much you want in the same sheet.

But I guess the process of actually making the list is probably easier how ADBLPS does it, with so many species offered. I do wonder how that process goes, really...

The Seed List in the Bulletin should have contained the full instructions. I haven’t got my Bulletin yet so can’t comment further. Maybe part of my document list was excluded from the Seed List due to the last minute rush. Anyone with a problem can email me on
MSGSeedOrders@outlook.com
I’m pretty busy with a deluge of orders so may not reply immediately!

Bulletin did contain full page of notes - 13 items, but didn't include note about postal orders that was with the email you sent out. I actually got my bulletin delivered about an hour before the email

In the email bundle there were three items
XLSX file with which to order
LUCKY DIP docx file for the specials Lithops bundel
Notes for seed distribution docx which has the paragraph

It was a special edition with a puzzle to solve: Peter's postal address is in the bulletin!
