Could you ask advice from one of the Nep knowledgeable peopleplease. Kamil Pasek of BCP is already freaking out on me with my bugging him about missing plants.

The G. hispidula accidently was put into blokemans package I believe. I am not sure about the VFT clone. I do remember it though. Sorry

A little bit late to the party, but here are my notes on my order: VFTs: Garrison, I ordered a Z06 as well - but it was substitured with a Z04 according to Kathy's note on the box. Unfortunately the Z04 was so tiny, it perished In addition to the Z04 I recieved small, the H09 was so tiny and perished away a couple days after being potted. I'm missing a Z02 VFT clone as well. Maybe someone received this? The good is - the bohemian garnet came a good size, and so did the fused tooth- very healthy and still look great, I'm happy with those. Pings: Nothing missing, but the P. esseriana came extremely small, though it was compensated by including a large number of them, the largest of the group is maybe 4mm wide. The P. corsica however came nearly dead, only little bits of green in the centre- I'm hoping these make it, but they were on my bonus list - so no biggie if they dont' - fingers crossed though. The rest of them looked alright, and look great. Drosera: D. felix looked sickly, but look like they will pull through The 2 pygmys looked shocked, but I knew they don't transplant well, so will see what happens. I did recieve 1 extra D. nitidula ssp. allanostigma - but after checking the order list, I saw nobody else had one and potted it up with mine. Utrics: I ordered two of these, looks like the subulata was replaced with a fulva. Looks alright. Nep: Got a truncata lowland as one of my bonus plants - looks very nice, good size to it. Heliamphora, I ordered one of each neblinae, and tatei - and I am extremely impressed with these. A couple mature pitchers on each, and large enough clumps that I was able to divide them up into several pots. Since these, and the bohemian garnet and fused tooth vft were the main reason for my order - I'm satisfied overall. So in summary: Extra - D. nitidula ssp. allanostigma Missing - VFT - Z02 Perished from being too small - H09, Z04 (subbed for Z06)

I heard back from Kamil Pasek in regard to lost plants, and here is what he has to say: Hello Cathy,
I have checked your order and I made a mistake. You overpayed your order for EUR 7.50 and we didn´t have N. epiphiata for EUR 15, so we owe you EUR 21.50 as credit.
Those plants was in the parcel, but you didn´t find them. We can ship them again on our cost with a next order. 1 x Nepenthes aristolochioides [BE-3023] (m) 35.00 €
35.00 € 2 x Nepenthes alba {Gunung Tahan, Peninsular Malaysia} (s) 9.00 € 18.00 €
It turn out I had OVERpaid him, not under paid him, so there is a credit, and he is willing to give us missing plants on his dime. However, from what I have been hearing back from people, I think we are all sick and tired of all of this, and would not place another order with him. If you feel otherwise, let me know. Myself, I will contact him asking fro the overage back and telling him the latest about dying flytraps and an almost dead ping.

I got all my plants on Wednesday, my mom helped them out for the weekend and they look like they should be fine, I got 4 tinny veitchii's instead of one small one, and similar with the other two plants, 3 turned out to be 8. It'll be nice if they all make it but they're so small so we'll see. Did this happen with anyone else?
oh and the extras we're dead :S

'Not really a great experience' is an understatement. I was only on this group order for a n. aristo... the other plants were extras in my regard. Will he be paying for the phyto and CITES fees if we place another order? I'm confused/disappointed, HE should simply, IMO, ship us the plants that are missing. Cathy, i feel for you, having to go through all of this... ahh, the joys of group orders full of surprises! LOL. We just need to take this in stride and hope for the best I guess...

If we go for replacement plants, he will pay for plants, shipping and phyotosantiary certificate, but he won't pay for express shipping.

If there is a credit of 21.50 Euros, have him send the replacements of the dead plants and the ones he didn't send in the first place and have him send bonus plants of the equivalent of the credit amount. Then we're even.
Btw, did anyone get a Utricularia fulva that they didn't order? I didn't get mine.
