BROMELIADS Aechmea DELEON'S CHANTINII Great Form and Pattern!

Description

The Aechmea DeLeon's Chantinii is an incredible plant that has fine, narrow, highly contrasted stripes. It's heavily scurfed, accounting for the light grey and white stripes alternating with the dark grey or black stripes. The form is a beautiful flair that is sculptural. I love displaying it with a brilliant red or pink plant. The bloom is a bright orange and gold color and lasts for months. The sale plant is the one in the first 5 pictures.
Can we talk???
You know I’m not one for disclaimers and warnings in my listings. I like to keep it simple. But this shipping thing has me going bonkers so here are my thoughts. This past year the USPS has had problems and in my opinion it’s not a good environment for plant shipping, at this time. Now I use UPS and they have been performing well, it seems. I use Ebay shipping to print my labels and they give a nice discount for using their services. The result is that the actual shipping cost is lower (sometimes as much as 40-50% lower) than the price quoted to the customer. I have no way of knowing the actual savings until the package is weighed and measured. I give a refund to the buyer, but the customer
may not know ahead of time about the discount.
As always, I will continue to combine shipping and be proactive to save money on your behalf.
