Respectfully, I don’t equate my checking account balance with my “financial security”. Seems a little melodramatic. A major PITA if breached, but otherwise, pretty sure life would go on.

And I don’t mean this in a snotty way, but if my whole financial security was tied up in my checking acct, I probably wouldn’t do this either

I haven’t in probably 10 years.
I keep my credit card locked until I use it. I can buy greendot cards, money orders and mail cash. It’s nothing personal, just the site being used doesn’t really seem to be a priority by the person running it.

Well… that’s something. Doesn’t sound snotty at all. Alexa play fart.wav

Ok, perhaps I used the wrong term.

Let’s rephrase that to secure financials… instead of financial security.

Accept and appreciate the discourse, not trying to be a dick…

Preliminary response-
this isn’t part of my volunteer responsibilites with the co-op action group, but I think the change in checkout options is a surprise to everyone.

We should all get some clarification soon from the people organizing this effort.


Please keep in mind, the seeds are free so this is a reimbursement not a payment.

It’s a reimbursement for your shipping costs, and a $2 donation per strain to reimburse the seed packing supplies and cost of bulk mailing for the distributors. Any excess funds are donated to overgrow’s server fund.

It’s for a donation over and above the shipping cost plus cost per strain.

Many of us toss in extra for costs incurred giving the beans away to those who can’t afford them otherwise. That’s my understanding.

No Canadians are dropping out @Calix but fire me a PM. Some runs have extras so I am sure I can accommodate you in some way bud.

I know, I’m just showing how the donation appeared on my statement. Perhaps it will calm nerves saying it’s salve than seed :wink:
