I really don't know how she sent them. She said that they were going to be
over night air mail. I don't believe this because it took a week for them to
get here after the day she sent them. I cant imagine what they went through.
being in a small tupper ware container with a small slice of moldy apple.
They were very skinny and thirsty when they arrived. I would never do
business with her again. It is really sad that she doesn't take any good
care of them. She sent me the wrong colors. If she shipped them illegally
then I didn't have any idea that she was. I asked her in n E-mail if it was
safe and Ok to send them and she said she did it all the time and had
references I could talk to. Maybe I should have talked to one of them. I'm
sure that they wouldn't have had anything positive to say.
Thanks for everything,
Jake ;)
