Hello, With regards to delays don't feel singled out. I've been employed in the Dutch bulb export business for a number of years, and even with standard shipping procedures, being inspected prior to ship by both Dutch and U.S. officials, since 9/11 security at all international docks has been dramatically increased. The concerns regarding the possibility of biological weapons etc; everything is backlogged. Daffodils this year are being held up in Virginia, courtesy of Homeland security and their concerns. David
