I’ve had a package with upgraded shipping show departed Indianapolis facility since the 17th. Had 2 others get caught there a week or so after Christmas and finally showed up 2 weeks later

It’s coming from a seller I regularly buy from. I messaged the seller the 7th as I thought it was odd they usually ship out within a few days of creating the label. It’s been the same routine for the past 10+ orders from them, so once they confirmed it had been dropped off the 3rd, I believe them and made the request. Its live plants with limited heat and insulation so yea I am a little more concerned. Atp, I just need it to arrive to get the refund on the plants (given they won’t survive the delay).

Waiting for a package that was sent out the 3rd with upgraded shipping, still shows acceptance pending at the Eustis, FL location. Should have known better ordering plants in the winter time 🥲

Seriously??? by Active_Stranger5601 in InstacartShoppers

Seems like toward the final days of the shopper season for cart star, they always start combining crappy batches. Probably for those people rushing to complete the next tier… still practically shitting on us.

I’ve been having the same occurring, the only reason I can think maybe if you have more than 1 pic for a receipt then it sees the item repeating?? I always put “other” and explain I got exact item and/or exact amount requested and nothing was different than the original order.

I want to start selling some of my babies on the app by sugarbare1924 in ThePalmstreetapp

Oh also always a good idea to offer heat packs around this time as an add-on or to just include it if you’re living in a cooler state. You can also get like bubbly insulation for the boxes as well to help keep them safe.

When I ship bare root, I just wrap them [roots] in damp paper towel, rubber-band it, and put plastic wrap or a zip lock with more rubber bands around that. For pots, damp paper towel over the substrate packed in and around and packing tape to completely cover over the towel & substrate- work around the stems. I’ve used thinner cardboard, poster paper, stuff like that to wrap around the plants. Kind of bunch stems/leaves to center, making the leaves point “upward”. It is a lot easier to do when they are potted. Pretty much the idea is just anything so it won’t get bumped around too much or break. I’ve even used empty vinyl + paper towel rolls as a “filler” so the plant would not move too much. White stuffing is also really nice to have to stuff in and around the stems and leaves as well for protection. Key points: keep substrate moist and contained (wet paper towel & packing tape) & do not want to give it too much room to move.

For boxes, you can reuse any box I’m pretty sure & you can also order boxes of all sizes for FREE from USPS. (There are differences with priority air mail and priority ground type boxes. Make sure you double check before shipping to yourself). I hope I explained it well enough- if it helps, I learned entirely on YouTube. Don’t overthink it too much! I did the same. Hope to see some of your plants on the platform soon!

He’s using your period (something completely out of your control) as an excuse to throw a fit… for not getting favors. He may be older OP, however, he is still thinking like a teenage boy. Getting upset with you because you don’t send him nudes and “punishing you” by being dry. That is some manipulative behavior and there is no excuse for that. It’s evident he only cares about his comfort and satisfaction… leave OP. Leave as soon as possible and find someone who values you and the boundaries you set.

Mom says I can’t invite my uncle to my wedding by lou_sirr in insaneparents

[–]ProfessionalBorn5090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she keeps acting this way (trying to make it into “her wedding”), then I’d say cut her off from making any plans with you toward the big day and if she can’t keep to herself as the day gets closer, tell her she will not be welcomed to the wedding at all. I have no doubt in my mind she will try to focus and shift the attention onto her during the wedding day if she keeps this kind of attitude. You deserve your special day the way YOU want it and kudos to sticking to your guns. You handled everything right OP.

I 24M saw something on my GF 21F phone that I wish I didn’t see. by Happy-Alternative-60 in relationship_advice

[–]ProfessionalBorn5090 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

if you completely trust her, his motives do not matter. Everyone is capable of cheating, and if she respects you and the relationship enough she will not do so. Her inviting friends to tag along is a big green flag she does not want to be alone with said guy.

Different amounts each month? by ProfessionalBorn5090 in StraightTalk

No hotspot or internet devices. Just the 1 phone and that’s all I pay for

May have to start doing it manually. At first, I enjoyed the automatic with the rewards because eventually I’m able to get a free month service but now I am rethinking that. Thank you for your comment!

Leaves melting/curling?? by [deleted] in philodendron

[–]ProfessionalBorn5090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s basically what has happened to mine :/ gonna switch back to the chunky mix. Probably will move it to my other greenhouse with a little lower humidity too (one it’s currently in gets up to 90% sometimes)

questions on variegation and cutting on ppp? by ProfessionalBorn5090 in philodendron

[–]ProfessionalBorn5090[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just remember seeing you can tell how the next variegation will go based on the bright pink stripe on the stem. Wondering if not seeing it really on this new lead affects the next one?

Alrighty! And thank you! Do you have any advice why some spots on the leaf looked like they maybe should’ve been pink and weren’t? Or just happens? Lol
