What a roller coaster of a couple of days for you.
So glad they have "found" your parcel

Does sound a bit fishy if you ask me......someone had their eye on it I'm sure........

Keep us posted

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you TOMMYMIAMI!

Hopefully they will all be well! I think if they left in good condition, this shouldn't have affected them too negatively!

I think you've suffered more!

Can't wait for the pics!

That's horrible! Last year I had my birthday present go missing, a vasco from Ontario. It took 3 weeks to get here and we were away when the package arrived. Fortunately neighbours who were looking after our place, spotted the notice in the mailbox and went to the post office to rescue them. I guess an 80 year old doesn't look to scary. They gave her the package with no I.D.The seller had included 2 free orchids. They are all doing beautifully, but they are much tougher than bulbos.

Thanks everyone, still waiting for package to be ready for pick up, tracking does not show any other update again than that it was scanned in that sorting yesterday. I had variety there, few Dendros, some Vandacious and lot of Bulbos, plus few minis. So some will be fine for sure, some may be not, will work on the package and than post a pics later today.

The vandaceous should be fine at least. I have bought little ones on ebay and at times it takes about 3 weeks to get them.

Yeah, not so worried about Vandas, more about bulbos and also specially about mini's. Leaving the house now, package is for pick up, fingers crossed

Fingers crossed!

I think some bulbos are pretty tough? Depends on which? I don't know much about them, but I've been pretty rough on mine (a dearei) since I got it and it doesn't seem bothered!
