Good Morning Gabi, Not good news …… as you know by now the geraniums again missed their connection
in Europe… product will not be arriving until Tuesday I am told…… I do not want to send Metrolina questionable geranium cuttings…… please get us a current availability immediately…… they are already 40K down from week 3s delayed shipment --- those 40,000 or so are dieing… claim filed….. and they will be in need of replacing those as well as we suspect the 109,000 from this week’s shipment… So Metrolina will be looking for replacing ~ 149,000 units immediately… please get us an availability immediately…..
