Hi to all who visit the Bulb forum. My daffodils had begun to only sparsley bloom, so I dug them a couple weeks ago. They were so extremely packed clumped that it is no wonder they didn't bloom. This also causes smaller bulbs. But I have lots of them. I had about a 25' row with 4 different varieties of which I didn't map out, so not sure which is which unless I see them bloom.
Anway, this amounted to 5 full lunch bags size paper bags of bulbs. I kept each variety separate (I had them marked with a division in the garden with one of those bright colored caution marker flags). One kind produced two full bags. So I hate to put all these bulbs in the trash. But I don't know how to go about charging for the costs to ship them. They are heavy. So I think I will have to ship via a flat rate Priority Mail as I do not want to deal with different charges for different states. I would like to fit a bunch of each kind (all mixed) into the Priority mail flat rate bubble mailer which cost is $5.75 if I read at USPS correctly and that's to any state, no matter what the weight. Lots of the bulbs would fit in the mailer, but not a whole lot of protection.
My question is to those of you who have done something similar and who took PayPal in payment. For anyone mailing a payment it would be no problem, I'd just ask the $5.75 to cover the cost. But because I only have a business account with PayPal, I'd get charged a fee on the $5.75, which would be approximately 55 to 65 cents. Anyone have any suggestions how I could make the offer and still cover PayPal fees should someone want to pay that method? Would you suggest I spell all that out in the offer, or perhaps something like $5.75 to cover postage if mailing payment or $6.40 to cover postage/costs if paying through PayPal ?
Thanks for any assistance.
