Melissa, I have purchased many fruiting plants, bushes and trees via the mail over the last decade. There is simply no excuse for plants coming out of the pots as well as dirt, if they have been properly packaged for shipping. Most vendors I have used simple place a layer of crushed newspaper over the soil in the pots, followed by a generous layer of tape or a taped plastic bag to hold things together. Use of bamboo inserted into the pots that extends to the end of the box will keep the pots from moving. Unless your package was completely crushed, breaking the bamboo and/or the pots, you should not have seen what you describe. As long as we are talking a shipping time that was not longer than a week, the PO should not be held respnsible for dryness either. It sounds to me like the vendor you used does not care much about customer satisfaction nor values much the plants they shipped to you. Dave's Garden Watchdog is a good server to use to check on a vendor before ordering and the ideal place to post your experience once you are certain the vendor will not make things right. Sorry for your bad experience, there are good mail order companies out there. I have cringed a number of times in the past couple of months regarding vendors named on this list that have poor reputations that never-the-less are used as sources for desirable plants. --- On Fri, 5/7/10, Melissa Kacalanos <mijwiz@yahoo.com> wrote:
