Title: Jan's catalogue
Post by: Alex on May 09, 2012, 08:01:01 AM: Can anyone (maybe Jan himself?) tell em when Jan Jilek's catalogue will be out? I know he said April or May, but there doesn't seem to be anything yet at wildbulbs.eu.

Ta,

Alex

Post by: Alex on August 05, 2012, 12:07:19 PM: Hi all,

Does anybody know what has happened to Jan? I was corresponding with him a few months ago, and tried to place an order which he even said he would send, then no more contact. I have sent numerous messages since, with no reply. The nursery webpage does not seem to be fully updated, which is a bit odd. Has anybody else been in touch?

Thanks,

Alex

Post by: Larry Neel on August 05, 2012, 02:52:06 PM: Ditto - I wired him a good sum of money for my order on Tues and can't get him to confirm that he received it or that the order was shipped. Does anyone know of him actually ripping customers off or is he just poor at communicating?

I think he is simply out of reach and will likely communicate when he is back in Czechia.

I thought long and hard before playing the "Ugly American" but felt a point needed to be made.

Post by: Maggi Young on August 05, 2012, 04:58:13 PM: I quite understand the anxiety when hard cash is involved and there is no reply, Larry. That is something that would worry anyone.
I do think - and hope, it is just a case of lack of communication.

Post by: Alex on May 18, 2013, 10:21:39 AM: Has anybody had any hint that there will be any sales from this catalogue this year? Or will it be the usual round of ignored emails etc. The catalogues online have been updated to 2013, but without prices. Normally, I would have written off an outfit that behaves this way *long* ago, but what he grows and seems to offer is just incredible stuff.
