Ah, it's probably the order number in the form of YYYY#### where YYYY = the year the order was placed and #### = the number in which the order was received.

For example, I would be the 112th order for 2011.  Martin would be #30.  You would be #183, Bill. 

This actually makes sense and it gives some perspective as to how many orders they handle ever year.  Bill, I know you barely got yours in by the deadline, so I suppose UCD accepts about 200 orders per year?  I always expected that number would be much higher.  Well, then again, some people order multiple varieties in a single order and dozens at that, so ... I can imagine it would be very painstaking to fill many of those orders.

Got mine on Friday.  Most varieties had 3 cuttings, one had only two....

James, what pomegranate and mulberry did you request? 

Chills

Hi Chills,

I tried to order varieties that I can't easily find anywhere else or varieties that I may have had when visiting my grandfather.

Mine has an extra digit than the other's posted above...

i got figs last  and for some of you ,you don't need a fedx acount you can use a ups acount thats what i did and they just costed me 5.00 for 15 cuttings great deal good luck all

Just wanted to update.  Once again, my FedEx charge was only $24.63

That was for 7 varieties, about 16 sticks total.

I say "Only", but for stick and shipping at ~$3.50/ea, I don't find that a bad deal.  From other "pay" sources, I usually pay $1-$2/stick without shipping.

I received my order yesterday. Today I sold everything I got on ebay. 

You crack me up Bass

That's great Bass! I hope you made some good $ on those.

Guess we better be careful. Someone will think we're serious ;) . 

Bass, that is a bit rude. You ought to have offered them to your forum friends, first. I may have to put your White Greek plant on Ebay.

i sold myself on eBay once.  i wasn't happy with how much i got.

Hey Jason. I did that once too! Bids were great for awhile. Based on the image I posted of me with my shirt off, people thought they were bidding on a live Sasquatch!!

I thought I was really in the money! Unfortunately ebay didn't let me collect from the final bidder. Said my pic was too misleading. Something about humans not being allowed to represent themselves as a mythical beast....... Where's the fun in that?

Still haven't received my order.  I did get a confirmation in December, this is much later than I've received them in previous years.

I would contact them about it.

This really blows. You are not the only one. I've already contacted them on Monday. no response. I have a feeling we are out of luck :(

How does one put an order in for next year? I can't seem to find it on their website.....anyone have a link?

Thanks....

@ojag, if that's not enough info, see this thread:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4957008&highlight=accession

I've received Kiwi, corn (seed), sunflower (seed) all without fedex...still waiting for figs...oh well. Guess Corvalis and Iowa have less requests!? Thanks Satelithead for that link, very helpful for next year. By that time, the CRFG scion exchange wood should all be in ground...rooted 90% so far. Perlite, hormone, water, glass jars, indoors, on top shelf bookcase, misted every morning and evening.

where do we find the links for corn and sunflower seeds

Bob, read this page:  http://www.ars.usda.gov/main/site_main.htm?modecode=53-06-20-00

Then refer to the 2nd post in my link three messages up from here.

OK, I did receive my order finally today & I got everything I asked for.  So yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

@Tom...I submitted my order last week for fig cuttings for Jan-March 2012, and Mary sent me my confirmation number.
