We'll see how this plays out. The current order is nearly ten times the size of my previous orders, so shipping will either be by DHL or perhaps some other air freight option might be a bit cheaper. Leigh will figure that out after everything has been picked and ready to ship. My small orders were still a good deal even after shipping costs, and this one will be proportionately better.
After the whole thing is done, we'll look at the whole process and review the lessons learned so that if/when someone wants to organize another such enterprise, they can look for improvements. I'll work with Arnold and Bridget to prepare a final accounting of everything so it will be clear where the costs are. And naturally, participants are welcome to report their satisfaction, suggestions, or complaints on the list or forum.
So far, I think this thing is going smoothly. Miraculously everyone has learned to read instructions and has sent their requests to me and not to the list. The folks at SA Bulb are on top of it and will pursue their end in an organized, efficient way.

I’m working on ordering seed from SA direct to west coast, and using FedEx
turns out very reasonable and fast. $19 for quite a bit of seed and between
1-2 weeks. Seems like shipping seed for these more reasonable prices is
new? I’d guess a larger box of bulbs would be more, but still more
reasonable than prices I’ve heard before in the past. Wondering if people
have checked FedEx? Thought I’d mention this shipping information…
