Oooh- pictures? Does it look okay?
(Lol, maybe you have a thread on this, then I will see it after writing this- and then I guess there already is pictures. In that case: pretend you never saw this&#128540

I'm at work... I can receive packages here but opening them and a photo shoot would be a little too much....

Ah… Yeah😂

Holy- having a package and waiting to open- I would have had a serious problem not thinking about opening that box😜😂

But oh, happy days and joy when you are done working and can open it😃

Edit: its nine in the evening here, bedtime in a couple hours, didnt think about the work thing.

Well, now I'm in limbo myself... package did make it to be scanned at my local post office (two days ago), but has since vanished from the face of the earth.

I understand that it's a large system and so sometimes stuff is going to slip through the cracks, but... did it have to be something alive?

Seems like if it was scanned, it must be there somewhere. Maybe someone needs to get off their duff and go looking through bins and try to find it .

I just ordered some herb seeds this past week...the company sent me a tracking number for USPS but apparently they are not being tracked...or something. I click on the number to track and it says 'not found'. Weird. Hopefully, it will still arrive.

That happens when the company makes a label and gets the tracking number but have not sent the package out yet. Once they ship the package you will see it.

Yeah, I think the guy printed a mailing label and then left the package in his own house for a while or something!!!

So, update! This vender (who is one of the best-- not complaining about him, you know) had some plants that I could not live without (again!) and I ordered them! So CRAZY but, 3 days shipping was actually 3 days!!!! It was sent on the 21st and it is the 23rd and it is now in my town somewhere! Hope I get it today though!

So, it is Possible! Maybe it is the time he gets it to the post office or something? Who knows!

I really hate the waiting too! It is like, I have no other choice really unless I just want to buy "Just Add Ice" Phals, which is all they have here! I am sort of stuck buying on line! I am sure that even towns with a Trader Joes have only choices between a few varieties (no Bublophyllums or mastevallias I'll bet). The oddest thing I have bought here was a Dendrobium Nobile.

Yeah, uh... in limbo still. It left Goleta, CA originally over a week ago!
