I’ve also been having some issues getting mail to the states and elsewhere.
Before christmas everything was moving very fast and only one order disappeared into the postal ether. No returned stuff though except for one letter that I made a mistake on the address (canada). Since christmas though… I’ve had at least 7 letters (cards/flips/stamp) completely disappear… Canada and the US and I guess India too.
Those are the ones I know about anyways.
I think in the future if I need to send something I will just use a dvd case and a grey padded mailer , tracked , for outbound stuff as that seems to be the best option.

I think we are all getting a little concerned about the promises made for the bidding we all did on those beans 🫘 and the donations already made from the beginning of February this year. After all it has been over 8 weeks. I got no issues with the donation, but they were generously bid on and given on the promise of the strains we all bid on. Just my thoughts 
.

I agree, I’m a little sad. Time went into choosing those beans, and I had a plan to grow some of them outdoors this season. I always have a plan B, but I’m bummed.

I know it’s a bummer to wait with nothing to go on, but I have faith that he’ll get back to us as soon as he’s able. New job and everything, takes some adjusting and it can be hectic while trying to make new routines while readjusting for old responsibilities too. He’ll be back.
Heck, he may feel a little sheepish 
for having been MIA longer than planned. I’ll cut him some slack for now.

I’m hearing y’allz feelings. Gotta admit, they’re likely in the back of all our minds.
Though, I’m a firm believer that there is no ill will on @TopicalWave’s part.
He did attempt to uphold his end of the bargain once, and he did state that he’d make it happen.
Him being MIA is concerning. But I’m gonna choose to give him the benefit of the doubt.

You ok bud?

@TopicalWave , speaking from personal experience, ADHD effing sucks, and can get you mired down in guilt and such real fast. If you’re up a creek of any kind, in available on PM and other are too I’m sure. We’ve got your back if needed.
Also, you can take my beans out of the resend pile if it makes it easier. They were just for fun and a low bid.

Unsure how many OG auctions ive participated in over the last few years. But to have now 2 fundraisers where some/all items haven’t received that were “won” is a bit discouraging. Don’t get me wrong I realize at the heart OG auctions are fundraisers to help the community cost of operation and other nobel causes around the country and the prizes/items are a bit of a bonus/incentive. But do we need some sort of "auction action group? Or order of operations for running auctions, could a designated auction distributor in the various regions similar to the co-op repro distribution system help alleviate logistic issues. Not necessarily haveing to be the same , or even different distributors, as to not over load any aspects of the current system.
Participating in this auction from a point of helping a local charity with the bonus of seeds is the grounds I approach the auction with. but to others it could mean alot more. Maybe it was someone’s last 25$ and they were banking on a pack of seeds to grow to get them through a season. Not beeching and complaining just all food for thought.
At any rate , hope all is well with topicalwave, not going to tag him as im sure his notifications are packed at this point.
Wishing the best of days , to all whom cross this post.

Ah, yes, I remember that one. Thanks. This does seem like a one off though since all the stuff was apparently mailed out and returned. Not sure why it’s taking so long.to sort out.but hopefully @topicalwave will pop in today and update us on how he will remedy this.

I lost my brother ,who was my dad ,best friend and brother all in one to brain cancer . Watching a 37 year old tough as nails SOB go from healthy one minute to paralyzed and bed ridden till his death in 7 months was truly the hardest thing I ve ever went thru and watched. Being there for someone in those moments are truly tough but very special. I applaud everyone who donated to the cause . This is why I love Overgrow ,just when u think I couldn t love this group and members anymore thn I do I see this kind ve thread and it hits me …You members are not only generous and kind your all truly amazing …

I could be wrong its been a min since I read thru this one but I think @TopicalWave said he tried multiple times and mentioned something about the cost being discouraging, understandable. If its not a whole lot I’ll pay for them all to be shipped to @misterbee to distribute if @TopicalWave will DM me for the details…
100% agree, if you read this let us know you aight bud! pretty sure everyone here understands life gets in the way

To all whom are wondering about this curfluffle.
I’ve been in contact with topicalwave, via other means.
He would like me to pass on how terrible he feels about this whole mix around and is quite distraught over it. Which is only adding to the underlying matters at hand, he mentioned theres been a wild amount of messages and tags about this which he understands , but also notes theres been a few less than pleasant ones he’s come across. He is incredibly sorry, and never intended for any of this to happen. The way life played out as it did brings us to where we are now. I’m confident in saying the seeds aren’t gone or lost forever, a solution is in the works.
I’m confident this will all be smoothed out with time, and I’ve had dealings with topicalwave in the past all of which were very positive.
