Symplocarpus and the shipping rates
Yes, Symplocarpus seeds are in stock and customers are starting to notice it.
Before more questions arise, especially from new customers excited to find seeds not offered by someone else, an explanation for ordering/shipping of species with large seeds.
Right on the Symplocarpus foetidus page one can read:
“These seeds cannot be ordered using the international low shipping rates; not on AU Bicon list
Limit 1 pck./order”
This means that for international orders one must place an order over 25$. The minimum seeds pck. allowed for orders over 25$ is 5.
Of course all is detailed here: Shipping & delivery
Why? some may ask.
The Symplocarpus seeds are very large and moist packed; this makes it for a large packet that cannot be sent via letter size.
Why 5 pck.?
Does it make any sense to send bubble envelopes across the ocean with 1 pck. of seeds inside?
An alternative to the plastic bubble would be nice (and they are not really necessary in most cases) but the cardboards envelopes tried are too heavy (for now). In conclusion: please read all the info available before starting to place orders.
For special requests regarding the 1 pck. limit, please use the Contact page.
Thank you.
