[Closed] Wistuba group order (Spring 2024 shipping)

King Karnivores

Carnivorous Plant Addict
Hey everyone!
I'm hosting a Wistuba group order. It's scheduled for shipping in Spring 2024 so there's plenty of time to get orders in. I'll be placing add-on orders for each person that wants to order and orders are open until Wistuba starts processing our group order. There will likely be a restock before our order ships so if there's nothing you're looking for at the moment, keep an eye out!
I'm assuming anyone ordering is familiar with how group orders work so I won't reiterate everything here. If you are unaware, look through any of the other threads in this category for details.

Important Info:
  • Shared costs:
    • 100 euro base shipping fee from Wistuba
    • Any additional import/customs/inspection/brokerage fees (most likely none)
  • Individual costs:

    • Additional shipping charge (10% of your order amount, rounded up to the nearest 10 euro)
    • Canada import tax (13%)
    • Shipping within Canada from me to you
  • Costs covered by me:
    • Import permit
    • Shipping supplies
  • Shipping within Canada is via the cheapest of UPS, CanadaPost, DHL, or Purolator. If there's a specific courier that you want to use / do not want to use, you may let me know.
    • If you want to use a courier not listed above, you may do so. I will provide you with the dimensions and weight of the package and you will be responsible for creating/purchasing a shipping label and sending it to me(digitally). If the courier you choose requires the package to be dropped off somewhere inconvenient for me, I may charge you for my time/gas.
    • If you are in the GTA, local pickup/meetup can be arranged
  • Wistuba stated that orders will be shipping in Spring 2024.

Messaged Andreas briefly a couple of days ago. He provided an updated date of mid-January for the restock date and also confirmed that our order will not ship until after the restock! Really looking forward to this, thank you everyone to for your interest and also to those who have already placed orders :)
 
Andreas says in a post on the Carnivoren forum that the store will reopen Jan 8th or 9th.

Anyone have an idea of how he handles limited "1 per order" plants for group orders?

Looks like he updated the website as well! Super excited!
Are you referring to short supply or specifically N. edwardsiana? In my last order, I had a bunch of short supply plants where I mixed the clone/size and he didn't give me any trouble.
I'll definitely shoot him a message about edwardsiana's though. It explicitly states "Attention - limited to 1 plant per customer!!!" so I'll shoot him a message seeing if he'll make an exception for us.
 
I contacted Andreas about ordering multiple edwardsiana and explaining our group order situation and he said it was possible and asked how many people were wanting one. This is slightly time sensitive so I’m going with direct message so everyone sees in time. If I recall correctly, they are priced ~150-180 euros each.
If you would like one, please respond here ASAP. Payment is not required at this time but you would be committing to purchasing one/participating in the group order.

I contacted several people via DM already, if you responded via DM then that is good
 
I'm sure everything will go well with this group order. However I'm not always right! This link mentions everything that could go wrong. Read it carefully and then make an informed decision.
Now I wish everyone a successful group order :) .
 
Wistuba has announced the exact restock date. It'll be January 9th 3pm CET / 9am EST / 6am PST. I will be online and placing orders at that time.
Please PM me your orders specifying the plant name, clone, and size and preferably include the link to the product page! Super excited! Looking forward to everyones orders :D
 
Got my order in and a couple others. Super excited about the eddys we managed to get :)

For those who haven't already, please PM me your orders! Ill be available for the next few hours and the rarer/more sought after plants definitely sell out quick.
I grabbed multiples of a couple I thought were interesting to resell. If something you want is out of stock let me know and I might have an extra that you can have.
 
I think most people who wanted to participate have contacted me and had their orders placed. I hope everyone's as excited as I am :D In the order confirmation email I just got, Andreas stated an estimated shipping date of April but I'm not sure if that applies to our order as it is both international and the initial order was placed a few months ago.
I'll leave this group order open until our order goes into processing/shipping if anyone has any other additions or if anyone still wants to join. Still plenty of super cool plants available on the site.
For those in the group order, if you haven't sent me your address yet, please do so. If you're in GTA and would like to meetup, please let me know as well.

I have extra's of the following plants below, if you're already participating in the order and want one, let me know. I'll have the others available for resale (for a slight markup of course) once they're acclimated. If anyone wants plants from Wistuba but doesn't want the risk of group orders, let me know what you want and I might buy 1 or 2 for resale.
Extras available: villosa, ventricosa porcelain, hamata x edwardsiana, macrophylla, nebularum, ephippata, diabolica, clipeata


I'm also actively talking to Carnivero and FloraeCollaborative and hope to organize a group order with both this year!
 
Hey everyone! Our order just went into processing! Super excited!

Please expect a PM from me in the next few days confirming what plants you ordered. It is critical you thoroughly look over this list as it's how I have it entered in my spreadsheet that I'll be using to organize everyone's orders.
 
I wish I could update with good news but unfortunately our shipment is being held further because one of the plants is missing from the Phyto(I believe this was an error on the plant official in Germany's part and not Wistuba's). I've requested for that single plant to be destroyed by CBSA so the remaining plants can be delivered.
