Personally, I have had 100% positive experiences trading with people on the forum. Last fall I gave daylilies away for postage. I sent daylilies to several NGA members who had never posted on the daylilies forum (as well as several who were daylily forum regulars). They all sent postage promptly. I will probably make the same offer this fall to make room for the daylilies I still have in pots.
That said, I am really sorry this happened to you, Derryl. You got a bad apple.
