This ultimately turned into a bigger fiasco than I had thought. They called after I placed that order and said some of the bulbs had sold out. The upshot was that I would be paying more for the shipping than for the merchandise. I tried to cancel the order, but they wouldn't do that, so I ordered more bulbs. That brought the final price up to $95.46, including $41.26 for shipping.
That outrageous amount ostensibly was charged because they had to send it by express 2-3 day delivery. Well, they mailed it on November 30th and it arrived on December 5th -- at least twice the number of days.
I received a package from Holland Bulb Farms the same day. I wrote about this in my blog and included pictures. Here's a link if you're interested. Holland Farms charged $8.95 for the same-sized box, taking the same amount of time to get to me. It's the entry for December 7th.
