I moist packed seeds of Geranium refractum on the 16th of Jan and they are germinating today - so please do not exclude Geranium in your future seed lists Bobo  :)

I'm deeply dissapointet  :-[

No - not about Björnar ...but ordering for german People in other continents is really a problem
I got a confirmation about my order and a tracking numer that it is underway from Hongkomg to Germany ( 31.Jan.2016 )
After this time the tracking site makes no Progress - so I have decided yesterday ( 09.Feb ) to call a german Special Hotline for missed parcels/letters
Those People are very friendly and helpful ...but the result is very bad  :o
They told me that my parcel has arrived Germany via flight on 01.Febr. since this time it is lost
Normaly parcel get a new tracking number from DHL and than it goes to the custom ...
The Hotline People told me I can do nothing ....now the seller must make a search query
I have written Björnar the Problem and I hope he can find anything ( but I have only few hope )
It seems other Germans have a similar Problem and I'm really envious when I read that other friends have received her orders without any Problems - it makes no fun ordering outside Europe

I have written yesterday to another friend who has ordered - the answer came promptly:
Lost in Transportion ( she is also awaiting a parcel from Björnar )

Sure - I will get back my money if the parcel not arrive ...but I would be more interested for seeds ( and later interesting plants ) than for Money ( it has not so nice flowers )

Sorry to hear about your problems. Delivery to the UK seems to be trouble-free and I have my seeds - all my order except one sold out.

I'll reply your email later once I get the final orders packed, but I'm afraid the reality is there's nothing I can do on my end other than wait for a month or so, then refund the order in full. If it wasn't so late I would have resent the seeds, but by the time we know for sure the package is lost it will be March. The upside(?) is that this has happened several times with letters to Germany, and they have eventually all arrived, it just seem to take forever...

I have just received my seeds!   ;D
12 day after they reached Germany!
And the tracking number is still unknown at DHL. ::)

Berries are the poetry of a garden.

That's a relief, then hopefully Hans's seeds are right around the corner!

Still no sign of mine, or an email that it has been dispatched. No answer via the website either when I enquired. :(

It was sent on the 16th as noted on the web page and here on the forum - and all refunds and tracking numbers were done and added today. I started writing a long rant about the utterly useless Paypal web page, but I'll save that for another time...

I got good germination on Geranium-seed from trillium.no. I store in fridge ,and sow in late winter/early spring inside at 5-10°C, sligtly moist. Most seed germinate when temperature rise to 10-15 in a few weeks. I don't think the Himalayan Geranium-seed tolerate too wet and cold. I hope some Geranium-seed still might be available in future lists.

Arrived safely today Bjornar, many thanks and also for the free seed - the postman had to struggle through the snow to deliver them. But what is 14-084? Not on my order or on your website any more.

Best,
Tristan
