Hi everyone, I apologize for sending the private message to the list. I just want to clarify the experience with Mainly Bulbous Gems, which I did not intend to make public, at least yet, as a resolution is still trying to be reached with the vendor. Regrettably, our complaint has now been made irreversibly public and with this in mind, I feel it's important to be clear regarding the experience. I misspoke when I said it took 3 months for the vendor respond. What really happened was that there were a few exchanges of emails (and even one phone conversation) during that time. The frustrating things were that email inquiries regarding the status of orders (that have still yet to arrive - we just found out that it was sent back to Chile) would continuously go unanswered for weeks at a time. As a customer we were kept in the dark as to what was going on. Only when emails were sent expressing exasperation with the status of the transaction and/or threat file a complaint with PayPal refund did communication finally come from the vendor and even then it was somewhat cryptic. To sum things up, communication has been very poor and that coupled with waiting periods in excess of three months for bulbs and seeds still not received, is enough to make a customer not want to order again.
