I got the wrong plant
For now the vendor will remain unnamed. I won an auction on eBay for a C. Marcia Foster 'Dixie". Large plant in bud which arrived in good condition with two nice buds. However, when they opened, it was quite evident that this was not the plant I had hoped to receive. I contacted the vendor and he was quite puzzled that the plant was not as advertised as he had bought it from a reputable grower. The vendor next sent me what seemed to be the entire content of his picture collection to see if this plant was like any he had pictures of. Only problem was that included in the pictures were two of what I call porn. (Women naked from the waist up).
Anyway my dilemma is that I really want the plant I paid for but it appears he doesn't have it anymore or doesn't know which one it is. He wants me to send the plant back to him.
Here is one of his replies:
" Do you want the plant at all? It would cost me about $12 for you to ship it back to me via Fedex, plus the hassle you'd have to go through with packing it etc. So if you want it, I would be happy to give you a partial refund of $12 on it. So for $19 that would be a pretty nice plant. Let me know what you think. And I apologize for the mix up. I only was going by what the tag said."
I really don't want the hassle or the responsibility of packing the plant to send. I guess part of my unhappiness with this stems from an experience I had with Kawamoto Orchids. They sent me a Bulbo. medusae that I was unhappy with (it really looked beat up). When I contacted them they instantly sent me a refund, did not ask for the plant to be sent back and would have sent me a replacement if they had had one.
Suggestions? Similar experiences and what you did to resolve the problem? Thanks
