Oh boy, and I did even worse, as I just saw your answer. :-/ I thought Cubits is supposed to email me when someone replies, but I am never getting any such emails from them. 3 lost out of 23 is not bad. I've never ordered from oversees, but from what anecdotal evidence I see, I am totally with Carol - order from far away exotic lands only if you really REALLY want far away exotic (as in "not available in your country/region") hoyas. Any cost saving may be quickly eaten, plus more, by higher shipping charges, phytosanitary certificate fees and the risk of loss. If the price is 50% less, but the risk of loss is 50/50, well, guess what, there's no cost savings at all. With anxiety and longer waiting, they'd need to give me more than 50% lower prices! I wish this math wasn't as tough, as some of those Thai hoyas sure do look awfully attractive and exotic. |

| I did a trade with Kew Hoya last fall. Shipping took 5 days. Most of them lived but I DID lose a few. When they arrived I dipped them in a mild bath of Clorox to kill any foreign pathogens that might be lurking...they can quickly demolish everything else if let lose. Both SRQ Hoyas and K&G Hoyas order from Thailand - I would sure let them take the risks.... Glad you only lost a couple.... Leap. The net will appear. |
