EU bulb joint order

[Uli]

Dear members living in the EU,


We are organizing a joint bulb order with Antoine Hoog who runs a small specialist bulb nursery in France. Dispatch of the bulbs would be in late summer.
Unfortunately only members with a mailing address in an EU country can participate and also, everyone must be up to date with their membership status for 2015.
We have set a deadline for orders which is Sunday, January 12th at 24:00h Central European Time. Some items will be in short supply.
If you are interested, please email me privately, not through this forum and I will send you the price list and ordering details. My email: johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de
Martin has again agreed to handle the order which is a non profit service to the membership.

Bye for now

Great! 

And the catalogue?

[Uli]

..... it must of course say " up to date with your membership for 2025"

Sorry about the typo 

[Martin Bohnet]

Great!

And the catalogue?

came per mail ~ 11 am CET

still 10 1/2 hours to go - as evaluating the List takes some googleing now is a good time to give it a go.

One thing we learned over the process: A good  way to formulate your order is desired minimum amount + fillup allowed or not -> this means that you usually don't have to invest the 12 € minimum order per spec.

current stats are: 62 species have reached 12 € limit, 157 have not. of those, about 60 have requests which are not enough for the limit - so be brave and maybe make someone else also happy by enabling their desired species ;-)

Dear Members living in the EU,
The joint bulb order for EU members  from Antoine Hoog is now closed. We had a good participation, the minimum order of 350€ is largely exceeded, in some cases the minimum order of 12€ per species was not met and in other cases the available number of bulbs was overbooked. Martin will see with Antoine to get the best solutions in all these cases.
Please remember that the bulbs will only be shipped in late summer.
You do not need to pay now, we will handle this joint order like a BX which means that you will receive a payment slip together with your bulbs.
Bye for now
Uli and Martin

I finalized our list and transmitted it to Antoine, awaiting response. A little bit of statistics:

16 participants
620 Items ordered
82 species ordered
5 of those we're above the offered number - Antoine is checking reserves for that
55 additional species did not reach the limit and had no permission for fillup

All we can do now is wait - both for Antoines confirmation and of course for the shipping which will commence in 3 waves from August to October. Depending on Antoine's timing I may offer to join shipping with the then ongoing EX11/11b, but we'll see how that will turn out.
