After yesterdays delivery of C&H orchids imagine my surprise when the following arrived. I had visited Orchids & More web site, Germany last Friday and made a short wish list but never followed the sale through as I wasn't ready to and, anyway, they had just sent an order I did place. Today my wish list arrived!!!!

Lc. Longriver Compton 'Gold Star' FCC/AOS – FS
C. iricolor x 2 - FS in spike (both!) - why send two????
C. Arcadio Arosemena - FS

Did you get charged for them?? Thank goodness your wish list isn't as long as mine or I would be frantically hunting for new spaces to put them

Ask and you shall receive!!!

Worryingly, they haven't taken anything from my account or others that I know have who have placed orders with them. They haven't replied to any emails either.

Wow! C. iricolor is on my wish list and you have now two and in spike! Please don't send them back and post pictures when they bloom.

LOL. At least it was a short wishlist! And 2 C. iricolor, lucky you, that one's really nice!

I accidently ordered a wishlist once. I clicked purchase on my cart so I could see the shipping costs, and then nothing. 3 days later I get an invoice, saying that the orchids are ready to be shipping once payment is received. So what the hell, I bought them!

I was going to order 5-6 orchids last week before it got too cold for shipping, but I was the victim of debitcard fraud, my bank account was totally drained and the bank refuses return my money. No money for orchids, let alone food....

Camille, so sorry about this bad luck. Hopefully common sense will kick in soon and the bank will reimburse your money and sort the problem out.

I doubt it. Someone somehow got my pincode while I was buying a train ticket (even though I always hide the keypad) then stole my wallet and drained the account before I blocked the card. The bank accuses me of being careless for letting someone see the code, and dutch law supports them. It's up to me to prove my innocence but there's no way

Kelo very Cool news! post some pics!

Oh dear Camille

I really hope you find a way of getting your money back.

So sorry, Camille, to hear the news. Can't the police or bank trace the withdrawels in any way? Sigh. Hope a windfall comes your way to make up for it.

Kelo, looks like you proved that wishes do come true!
