Today I spoke briefly with Angelique at UCDavis.  She told me cuttings were shipping out on Monday.  I don't know if that meant all orders or if Monday was when they will start shipping.

Henry

Thanx Henry.

To clarify...they started shipping on Mon., 2/25, and plan to finish by 3/12.  They are shipping 421 orders.  What a great service it is they provide for us enthusiasts.  I'll be grateful for whatever they send me.

Henry

Henry,
what did you end up doing for the postage? did you provide them with a fedex account number?
I submited an order not knowing that they won't pay postage anymore. I didn't get any confirmation from them. So I doubt I'm getting anything.

Hi Bass,

Yes, I provided my fedex acct. #.  I have not gotten any confirmation either.  I just contacted them last Friday because the first time I emailed my fedex account number (last Oct.) it got misplaced, and I had to email it again.  I just touched base to make sure they had it now, and spoke and emailed with Angelique.  That's the only reason I have this information I've posted.

I was wondering if anyone had seen anything yet or heard more about if they went out on time or not.

When you opened your Fed-Ex account, how did you do it?  Did you deposit $$ or leave a credit card?

Hello Chills,
 
We opened a Fedex account with our credit card!
 
Cecil

darn, I wish I had known that was all it took.  I would have done so myself.  I recall reading something about having to make a deposit of $50-$100 to open an account. 

Live and learn.

I got an email today saying my package would be here tomorrow.

Received my cuttings from Davis today by FedEX.

I received UCD cuttings this morning via FedEx. All that I ordered except Adriatic were sent. Good job.

Peg

Mine arrived this morning in great shape.  What a great service they provide!

Adriatic just isn't going to be available for a couple years - the tree is in decline and is being repropagated.

Got mine today too. 

A cutting of Panachee I got is really nicely variegated.  (I had gotten Panachee from Davis a couple years back, and it rooted, but it never grew and after it went into dormancy it never emerged.  I hope this one goes better.

They will still be making shipments into next week. Don't know why they are so late this year, but it is not time to panic, yet.

Mine shipped today.

My Ficus cuttings shipped today as well and I'll assume the Vitis I requested will be included.
The neat thing is the Davis cuttings and two starts I ordered from Jon are slated to both arrive tomorrow, so should be a figgy day.

Received my cuttings today (Tuesday). Everything I ordered + pomegranates. All in the bag,etc.
