Shon (flowerpower57) was supposed to be going to St. Lucia for vacation. I have sent a trade too and not heard back.
Brugs cuttings
really? i hadnt heard that. i hope that is it and he makes good on all our trades. however, i think that if he were going on vacation, he should have let all his trading partners aware that his trades would be delayed. i has now been over a month with no word from him, that is a long time to wait. i sincerely hope everything is ok with him and this is a temporary glitch.

Must be nice, to go on vacation for a month. He said he sent my brugs on 9/31 that I never got and never heard back from him either. Stuff happens everyday in our lives. The only excuse I would accept is he is on deathbed in a hospital.
Well, I left negative feedback on this trader. I will make changes when necessary.

He was to leave for vacatoin on July 20 and return July 29th. So his vacation is not the reason for his recent bad trading practices.
I traded with Shon this summer and I sent a huge box of plants to him and I never heard from him after he said he sent my box.
Finally after about 6 weeks of no response I told him he had a week to rectify this situation or I would leave negative feedback. I left negative feedback.
This year I have gotten burned 4-5 times, some were plants, some were plants for postage. I try to tell people if I have been lazy and just not dug up the plants yet or if there is a reason the package is delayed.
It sure is aggravating when you in good faith send plants and don't get what you are promised in return. I try to be generous in my trades and then I get a plant with one leaf and no roots to speak of.
I plan to be more specific in my trades from now on and I can see why people don't send their part 1st anymore after the year in trading I have had.
Has anyone reported this person to Admin yet? That is the thing to do and I have done it before, if they don't know they can't put a stop to him. I thought mine was a fluke so didn't report him but evidently it isn't a fluke anymore.
i was kinda worried about making a stink about this type of issue to dave or his staff. after all, i dont want them to stop allowing trades because it is too much of a hassel. from what i understand, they stopped the co op forum for a while because of problems. i dont want that to happed here. maybe i am worried for nothing.

It only takes a few bad apples, if Admin knows about those bad apples they can get rid of them before they ruin the basket.
