Shared items for this group order:

+ Import permit and related documentation fees
+ S/H, fastest express shipping option from CZ to CA
+ Inspection fees (if applicable)
+ Custom fees (if applicable)
+ BCP Handling fee
Non-shared items:
+ Your ordered items
+ Import tax (usually is close to 12%-15% of your ordered value, exact amount depends on the estimation from the Custom agent)
+ Currency exchange fee and paypal fee of your portion
+ Shipping cost from Willy to your Canadian address; via Expedited or Express (~$28-40+, the actual cost will depend on your mailing address and package weight/ size )
Warning - please know and understand your RISK:
As with any group order or import in general, there is always a chance of Dead On Arrival (DOA), and perhaps other unexpected complications such as shipping delay (especially COVID is still going-on) or custom/ inspection being more difficult than usual, or worst case scenario - import rejected, and package is destroyed...
The odds may not be high but it is important to know and understand that things can go south.
Willy, as the organizer of the group order will try to help and serve as best as he can, but will respectfully decline any liability and responsibility of your loss, especially due to uncontrollable circumstances.
If you can not accept any loss or complications that could potentially happen, please do not join the group order. There are other ways to trade/ buy new plants from other members on the forum!
If you are planning to place a relatively large order and maybe group order/ import is new to you, please check out the Caveat Emptor first.
Please understand your risk before sending your group order request!
Group order perks:
+ Experienced group order organizer
+ Frequent updates
+ Trade with other participants, or share portions with each other - if the request is too complicated, it might delay your package.
+ No minimum purchase!
Important notes:
+ We aim to place the order as soon as possible, so the deadline is very tight! HAVE YOUR MONEY READY FOR 1ST PAYMENT!
+ Participating members will share all the shipping and fees equally (from CZ to CA).
+ Payment of your order value will be expected prior to fully processing the order, in CAD.
+ No cancelling once you have paid the 1st payment.
+ Once your request is finalized, no refund, no exchange, no mind-changing.
+ When submitting your list to Willy, please include a screenshot of your items or have the details listed clearly in a table.
+ No return, no exchange, no refund after the group order is submitted and finalized.
+ To make sure our group order gets processed quickly, we will agree to this option: "Substitute one species by another (similar)".
+ Bonus amount will be pooled for Willy-selected plants and distributed accordingly. Do not select plants for your bonus portion.
+ Once deadline has come or our group order limit has reached, we will not accept any more group order request.
+ Tips/ donations are appreciated, but not mandatory! Coffee moneys are highly appreciated.
+ Due to increased custom/inspection difficulty (based on past years' data that they sometimes would not clear these plants because there are inorganic soil matters like perlite or foam attached that BCP cannot clean out completely), therefore Genlisea and plants alike may be riskier than other plants. Please be mindful of the added risk for these plants.
Payment options:
+ Paypal (friend/ family option only!)
+ E-transfer/ E-interac (preferred because it is much quicker)
Sign-up:
If you are interested, please:
1) Leave a comment on this thread (for example: "I want to join!"), this is so that you will receive notification when this thread updates.
2) Send a PM to Willy the list of items and/or a screenshot of both your items and bonus; alternatively, you may provide a budget and plant types that you are looking for, and let Willy picks for you.
3) Send Willy your shipping information: a) Full name b) shipping address c) email address d) phone number
4) Follow provided instructions regarding the first payment to secure your spot in the group order
Example of a group order request via private message (Thanks, Richard!); it clearly shows which items you are interested and the amount of each item and the prices. If your request is missing information, it takes more time for Willy to hunt down the plant from the long list.
Process of the Group Order:
The following diagram shows the steps of the group order. The first payment mainly includes value of items, currency conversion fee, transaction fee... and the second payment includes the rest: shipping costs, import tax, and other related expenses... and any adjustments if required.
The time for each process depends heavily on how smooth everything goes, sometimes it may take longer than usual, so please be patient!
Group order terms and conditions:
1) No cancelling once you have sent the first payment.
2) Once your request is finalized, no refund, no exchange, no modification.
3) To make sure our group order gets processed quickly, we will agree to this option: "Substitute one species by another (similar)".
4) In rare cases, not all items in the request might be available from the vendor; if there is any item not available from your request, you will receive full amount of adjustment credit toward the second payment, or in form of refund.
5) Please understand your risks: Willy, as the organizer of the group order will try to help and serve as best as he can but will respectfully decline any liability and responsibility of your loss, especially due to uncontrollable circumstances. Please note that the vendor will not cover any damage, DOA or loss.
6) Willy has the right to handle your items fairly and where he sees fit. For example, to re-hydrate the plants, repackage items with better packaging.
7) Please understand that in some cases where multiple members ordered the same item, it could come in one big bag instead of individual packaging, and ID tag may be lacking as there's only one.
8) Please do not contact BCP directly regarding this group order - you can send Willy your concerns and questions for forwarding.
9) Willy reserves the final right to make fair adjustments to the group order details, terms and conditions

FAQ:
Q - Is Aldrovanda okay to order?

A - Check out the Est. Calculator for 2022!

Q - How long approximately will the plants take in the mail to reach you?
A - This is hard to answer because it depends on the DHL express and how long it takes to clear custom & inspection. If I have to guess, it'd be around 1.5-2.5 weeks from CZ to Canada.
Q - Have there been losses in other group orders that you know of? DOAs?
A - From previous imports I haven't seen major losses upon arrival, maybe just a few smaller plants out of a big portion didn't make it.
Q - Can I order seeds only?

Q - Do I send you the list of plants now, from the list of August?
A - Please wait until the new list is released before sending me your list, as there will likely be changes.
Q - How about the bonus portion of my order?
A - To keep it simple, Willy will use the pooled bonus fund to buy something for everyone to share. If your contribution to the pool is large, you may expect a large share of the bonus items.
