Buying from Agristarts

kgbenson · 06-20-2007, 04:31 PM

So what exactly does it take to be able to buy from agristarts, besides getting 72 of any one variety?

I think that's all it is. Minimum of one tray. And for a premium(surcharge), you can even mix /match varieties. There's also a packing fee, which is for a box of 3 trays. Though you do not have to order 3 trays. Just that 3 trays will fill a box.

I tried that and they asked for a tax ID. I have heard that other folks have just called and ordered. Am I missing something?

I think that means that you need a Nursery business license. Or something of that measure.

I have ordered from them many times without a tax ID. All I said was that I have a small nursery in WA state. If you live in FL, you will NEED a tax ID since they have to account for the tax exempt status of the buyer. Being from WA state, they do not have to collect sales tax. And they won't sell retail. So, even if you offer to pay sales tax, they will not accept it because they are not set up for collecting sales tax.

Email or call Ashley Johnson (Ashley@agristarts.com, 407/889-8055) and get the proper scoop. If she still insists on a Tax ID, let me know, and I can have them drop ship your order to your place.

What is the premium and what is the minimum number of any one variety?

It's fifteen bucks if you want to order different kinds, 72 plants per tray.

If you go to the shipping page on their site it may answer some of your questions. I don't know how up to date it is though.

I'm pretty happy. I ordered 6 trays - shipping was not cheap- my guess well over $100. When the plants came many were big like 5 inches tall- they really filled out those trays. Quite a few had broken stems and I was going to ask- Is that problem?

I transplanted about 8 from each tray into separate pots. Most of the plants look really healthy and there are none less than 2 inches. Ashley there was nice. I used a medium of 50% potting soil, 25% perlite - 24% bark and 1%whatever my 7yr old might have dropped in there. Many of the little plants had roots that grew out past their cup.

Im starting a wildlife reserve and when I told them that ( its 225 acres of lake corpus christi- they were cool - in part because of the 6 trays too.

If broken stems arent a problem and one doesnt mind the high shipping cost- then everything else is really nice.
