Could you arrange with the university to let you order some stuff with their order to cut down on the shipping expense or just buy some of theirs?

I am getting a lot less shipping on the orchids. (1$/kg) but its the potting supplies that are costly. 50$ order is fine but with 170$ shipping...:O

PEOPLE THERE IS SOME BAD NEWS!!!
The shipment has been delayed!!!
Its expected to arrive in the first week of december. But stay tuned cuz when its gonna come its gonna be AWESOME.

I am confused: are you in Kuwait or in Pakistan? Does your country allow orchids to be shipped in bulks? I mean if I had 20 or more orchids shipment: my country will hold it for customs reasons...and I have a lot of explaining to do and a lot of receipts and phyto certificates to produce...

Look at his signature in his post: Pakistan! ;)

THANK YOU CAMILLE! and @bud yes it does allow it as I'm ordering it through a company that orders them by the thousands weekly.

That would be so much fun! What did you get? Some of everything, I hope! I want to do that.

sorry, didnt realize. thanks for clarifying. maybe, as a temporary solution, they may carry bark mulch for the outside garden at your local garden center. it could work im assuming? or just mount on pieces of wood

@webbitrocks
I have it under control don't worry...;)

Well...I just got denied my grant because the dean read this post and declared my demands 'not in the better interest of the department'.
