Title: Wanted - Seedtrays for Pleiones
Post by: Maren on March 10, 2013, 09:30:09 AM

Hi all, can you help me please?
I am getting ready for the London Orchid Show in April and I shall have to transport lots of pleiones in little pots to the show for my exhibit. I've run out of the seed trays I use to transport my pots and I wonder if anyone has got any of these they can let me have (I'll pay for them of course, and the postage). They have to be exactly like the picture, the pattern is quite unique. If they are not, my pots will not fit into them and the trays will not fit into my crates. They also come in green, I'm not fussy.
Dimensions: Length 36.5cm, Width 22cm, height 5cm.

Pictures of these seed trays are all over the internet, but when it comes to buying them, one receives something totally different, which causes a lot of pain and unnecessary expense for returns.

If you can help, please send a message and we'll take it from there. Many thanks in advance.
Living in hope :) :) :) :)

Suttons seem to have the same pattern Maren.

Anyone on the forum near them in Devon? Pity they are no longer in Reading.

Hi Brian, that's what I mean. The picture is very enticing, but when ordered, the trays received don't look like that at all and they are too big to fit into my crates.
I even asked companies to look in their warehouses to see if the pattern / size was as advertised before I bought them. They said they looked and then sent me something different. Things ain't what they used to be. Hence my question on this forum.
I do realise that if anyone has these, they will be used, but that doesn't matter.

Hi Brian, thank you for this. I've ordered some, fingers crossed.  :)

I am also in correspondence with Thompson & Morgan who sent me the wrong seed trays and the wrong quantity. Weak on delivery but no problem taking my money. :(
