tink3472 said:Yes it is disappointing to wait that long and then get an email to say the plants died from the bad winter. I lost about 80% of my sell plants from this past winter. I actually quit listing stuff thank goodness because I didn't know how things were going to go. I mean when the weather doesn't call for freezing or says right at freezing and then we get 8 degree temps with snow/sleet that sat around for 3 days it's hard to prepare for it plus all the other hot freeze hot freeze cycles (that wasn't suppose to be freezes). We normally have very mild winters and this past one did us in really bad. I had to refund a lot of money but I actually had another seller who let me have his plants as replacements and if he didn't have the exact one I had a list of other plants they could choose from. I would say 99% were happy with the replacements since they were some they were wanting anyway.
