Is anyone interested
« on: February 12, 2009, 06:53:35 PM »
Is anyone interested about doing a group buy from Texas Waterlies this year? I have joined a group buy before and they were nice waterlilies. They are a member of Water Gardeners International.

One thing  I forgot to say,you specify when you want the plants you
order shipped.  Me, and most and of you, simply cannot  take plants
right now due to the weather.

I bought from them in the last group buy and was very pleased with the plants I received.  I would be glad to buy from them again.  The biggest problem is choosing the plants or that is my problem.   @O@

If I am correct to make it a group by it just has to be over 100$ right? I've got about $40ish I am ready to order right now!

So then what constitutes a "group buy"?

Oh well. I am ready right now to order 40-50 worth. Let me know!

I am confused because there are different plants listed in the post above by Marie than there are on the website.  Also, the prices listed are different than the wholesale prices.  There are a bunch of plants I would like to order that are not on Marie's list but are on the website.  Can you explain?  Can I order what's on the website or must I go by the posted list?  Thank you.  Casey

Casey, best I can figure  our price list is plants he can sell to us for
that price.  But if we want to order off site we can. In fact,  I am
going to order one off his site.  Any on his list, you order what you
want of those. There is no minimum or maximum.  There is nothing
confusing about this. If there is plant you want on list, you order it
for that price. If you want to order additional off the site,  I am sure
he'd be glad to sell for that price.

That is right I just ordered. I only ordered 3 lilies. But I wanted Hillary and it would have cost about $15 which was not on our wholesale list he gave us. I chose not to order it because I have ordered other lilies from other places.

Ok sorry if I am being dumb. So let me make sure I actually understand. I just order whatever i want, and mention "American Ponders" and he may or may not discount some of the items i order?

I guess i thought we had to place one big order at once or something.

So I can order what I want today?

The list Marie posted is the group buy price. His site has other lilies at regular price not the wholsale price. You say you are a member of American Ponders  and are in on the group buy. Tell him what you want. You can order our group buy price and his regular price lilies or plants too. Only the group buy will be discounted. It is $10 for shipping 1-5 plants so I ordered 3. It is $16 for 6-10 plants. It is $20 for 11-15 plants for shipping here is the site.

 I went to the website listed earlier, http://www.texaswaterlilies.com/ and noticed alot of the Hardy lily prices are cheaper if you order them from the website rather than the list provided by Marie fisher.

Don't forget, though, that if you want wholesale prices you have to buy 5 at a time, same variety. Those are not retail prices. The group buy is a better buy if you're only wanting one or two plants of the same variety.

Just in case, let me set this straight. Neither Marie or I am getting any kickbacks from this group buy. This was posted to help those that cannot afford high priced lilies to try to get some nice ones. I have ordered on these group buys before from Texas Waterlilies. We have posted this in 3 forums to try and get others to buy too so that Texas waterlilies will let us do this maybe again next year. So that is all there is to this. If you don't want to buy on the group buy then don't. Makes no difference to me either way.

What Vickie said is absolutely correct. We each pay for what we
order just like everybody else.  I thought that  I was doing a favor
for all of us, not going to be challenged on prices that someone
else set. This man owns the company, and I do not know him even,
he's merely an e-mail address to me. It is his right to choose what
he wants to offer the forums from his company; also his right to
withhold what he don't want to offer at us at a group buy price but
the regular price.  To me, what I wrote was very simple and self
explanatory.  We  each order and pay for what we want, from the
group buy price or either the wholesale or retail price.  I will
reiterate what has already been said, if you buy from the wholesale
price, you buy 5 of a kind.  Read the site. It says that plainly.

Well, as normal for me I bought to many plants   @O@  But I just have to.  I have 2 new water features that needs some dressing up.  And I am changing out some of the pond plants too.  I had filled up the pond with plants so you could not see the bareness of the ground behind and around the pond.  Now I have filled in the ground with plants that I want to see.   o(:-)

P.S. Loved all of the plants I recived the last time I order from here.

I've ordered from them before also, a couple times I recieved wrong plants but they were easy to deal with and get the right ones, even sent me a new lotus the following year after one did not make it, no charge just shipping.  I guess I will not get in on this one though as I just returned from a trip and don't have the time or energy to get an order in.  But as soon as spring gets here and people are offering/selling here I will be ready.
