i am just providing an ebay experience , so everyone is aware and avoids getting the same treatment i got from this guy,

i am following the laws of the country i live in. the reason i cant send it back is because i dont have the legal means to introduce plants back to the states. so it cant be done. and will not be sons of course.

It has everything to do with it. I seriously doubt that plant was legally exported in the first place. I have a difficult time believing that one can legally import a plant into Mexico without a phytosanitary inspection. And the fact that the plant came potted proves it wouldn't pass such an inspection.

again what does it have to do with the Ebay experience i got?

is it necessary to prove you that all the plants that i buy in other countries are imported to Mexico Legally?

just for your information, :

there are a lot (thousands) of potted cymbidiums that are distributed in a huge network of retail places, big chunk of those cymbidiums comes from California! ( i dont import those btw but they come LEGALLY) , same with Phalaenopsis that come Potted from Holland, (alongside tulips, when in season) also vandas and dendrobium from thailand (yes vanda comes without pottinx mix but dendrobiums are potted) etc etc etc,

the rules that apply in the states are different than the ones that apply in other countries. wouldn't you agree?

do you mind if we keep ourselves to the topic that was the EBAY experience and how i got ? maybe you can help with the question i asked in the opening post?

now looking into the pictures , do you think the plant i got is the same plant that was bought at ebay?

thank you Subrosa!
best regards

I did a bit of research on importing plants into Mexico. The internet can be a wonderful thing! Why don't you describe the steps you took to comply with the pertinent laws of your country? Did the plant come with phytosanitary certification? Unless the answer to the second question is yes, you illegally imported that plant regardless of what you believe. Which, once again begs the question, if you are willing to illegally import a plant, why not be willing to illegally export it? And as far as I'm concerned ( and this applies as much to myself as to others) if one engages in illegal activity, you're on your own if things don't turn out the way you wanted.

your reply is offtopic,

since you keep pushing it,and do not listen, i will not be replying to you regarding this importation topic anymore, only this once, understood you made your point, i made mine, thanks for your input.

please understand that i simply don't want to share the process, suffice to know that the plants that comes here , regardless of where they come from, comes legally, my apologies for what i have to say but, if you don't believe it , it is your problem, not mine. and i cannot be forced to respond on this topic until you are satisfied with my answer. does it makes sense?

now please i beg you to stay on topic.
