I have some very "sad" news to report. My bulb shipment from Royal Colors was intercepted and destroyed by the US Dept of Agriculture plant inspection office in Miami over two weeks ago. Today, I received the empty box with the interception notice. Royal Colors did not get the proper plant permitting. Bulb orders may have gotten through customs at other airports. My order may have just had the bad luck of being found in a spot check. RC website notes that they are no longer shipping outside of Europe, so they know there is a problem. It's not just the money but the thought that 5 bulbs were destroyed. That makes me sick. I contacted RC to see if there is a chance of a refund. I'm hoping that they are not just going to write off a lot of customers in the USA.
