Quote from: beicadad on March 25, 2021, 07:02:46 PMGuys I have a dilemma. I checked 1-day shipping cost at Fedex or UPS, say 20lbs in a 30x20x10 box. Shipping fee easily goes to $500, then there is cost of packaging as well. I don't have experience packing trees and I am concerned that you might not be happy at the conditions after receiving them. Therefore I am leaning toward a SoCal, pick up only order this time. This must be pretty disappointing for some of you. If we are successful this time, maybe next time we can expand it to other regions.I could make the journey down to Socal for BayArea /Central Coast.

beicadad, are you sure this doesn't require you to keep the plants for 2 years in quarantine at your place? I've had a permit before that required that I keep the imported plants whatever they are for 2 years before they could be moved out of my house. That was 7-8 years ago and I never renewed the permit.
Did you want PayPal now?
I would love to be put on the list for 1 Dongkui, 1 Black Peak and 1 Biqi!Didn’t look like I could just add myself to the spreadsheet.I am in Palm Bay, Florida.
Guys in Bay Area and central CA, can you find someone who is willing to pick up at San Diego on your behalf?

Fast Shipping to FL is too cost prohibitive - too much at stake for slower shipping.
Where do we send payment?
This is better than March Madness. Hopeful for everyone, but could be a nail biter
