Acquiring Neofinetias Via EBay

[Yazz]

The little guys were supposed to arrive today along with another couple orchids from a different seller. Neither made it to my door or mailbox. Both were shipped out on Monday, both went USPS. I know one was Priority Mail® 2-Day, scheduled to arrive today, Wednesday.

Have my fingers and toes crossed that all arrive healthy in the next few days.

You may want to check if you received an un-deliverable notice from usps. Some vendors require signature confirmation otherwise it will not get delivered. Although, if it is from SE, I doubt a signature will be required.

Most packages having tracking. See where it is if you can.

Neither package required a signature confirmation that I know of.

Wish I did get a notice stuck on my door or in the mailbox. That way I could do something about getting the little guys home vs. just having to wait...

I've been following the package tracking quite a bit. It's frustrating watching a parcel sitting in the same place for three days.

The good news is SE's package is in town. Pictures will be posted upon their arrival.

The bad news is the other package that was sent two-day express is still in MI.
Going to contact the vendor and hope they can get things moving.

Want to thank all y'all for for your support during this drama. It means so much to me...

Really didn't realize how little little was. So cool!
They were quite dry, but after a good soak, they're looking better.

These are my first traditional neofinetia and have fallen in love with them all over again.

Congrats. Good choice on those two. I was wondering who picked them up. I just got my package today as well. They also came in a little dry. I gave them a good spraying will post photos later.

Marco, looking forward to seeing which ones you bought.

I got :

Neo. fugaku
Neo. soubiryu
Neo. fuji-nishiki

I bought a tabletop light box from amazon. Should be coming this weekend. Will take photos after i get the lightbox and after they are repotted.

Honestly, I was thinking about bidding on that senzai. I have a kuroshinjo which i absolutely adore. As i recall the starting bid was pretty good. OW has them one sale for 3 growths at 125. I am glad someone here picked it up.

[Yazz]

Very nice selection of neos. Looking forward to seeing them under your new light box.

How can you not fall in love with a senzai after seeing one. Next time I see one come up for bidding, I'll cross my fingers for you.

More neo pots are arriving in the mail tomorrow. Never repotted anything so tiny before...

[Marco]

I've been looking around for a typical plastic three footed neo pot for my kuroshinjo. No luck. I don't want to over pot it and risk it being to moist for to long. I ended up putting it in a larger mesh pot.
