Shipping question for Rion GH46 owners

The shipping info states 1 package with the following specifications. Can this possibly be correct?

50"L x 26"W x 10"H
82 pounds

Is that possible? Only one package that size contains the entire greenhouse? It seems to me it would *have* to be in probably 6 boxes of that dimension.

I'd say, no it's not possible. I have the 8x12 and I think mine came in about 8 boxes. Each box contains so many sheets of the polycarb and so many pieces of the pvc structure. I am thinking 4' extensions come in one box with the 8x8 standard greenhouse in several boxes.

Here are SOME of my parts sorted. You can see how many parts and boxes there are and this is not everything.

That's what I figured. It must be coming in mulitple shipments.

Thanks.

Your name is cute. :)

Thanks. I've had it a LONG time. =)

I saw you were looking for a certain rex Begonia (Escargot). I'm also searching for that plant, but having difficulty in finding it, aside from it's original source. Have you had any luck in procuring a specimen or two?

I haven't gotten one yet. :( My taste in plants jumps around so much that I forget what I wanted yesterday. I recently bought a tray of rex plugs and 1/2 is different reds and the other 1/2 is different greens. I'm sure I won't be lucky enough to get Escargot but I am hoping for some interesting ones! I find the red ones freakishly ugly but I think that is why I like them. LOL

Begonia Rex Escargot PPAF is only available from one of McHutchinson, LLC's authorized retailers (there's not many of them), and they specificially list it as "Propagation is prohibited". IIRC that means you could only propagate it for your own use, but can't sell the plants you propagate without a license from McHutchinson. Just wanted to point that out, in case you missed it while researching the plant. No sense getting in trouble over a plant.

I actually buy from wholesalers that do have permission to propogate and with several different plants you MUST buy plant tags to accompany each plant. Each tag does say if it cannot be reproduced. :) I am buying from professionals, not with the intention of propogation but for resale.

If you find it (Escargot), at a reasonable price, count me in for a few. =)

Well, it appears the shipping information was wrong. All eight boxes arrived today. Now, if this snow in the forecast doesn't turn out to be too bad... =)

LOL I bet you only got a partial shipping order the first time. Have fun. Make sure you sort out the parts before you start. It makes things speed right along. :)

Yup. I figured I'd sort it out ahead. Seems to me that it's probably similar to a Lego project, in that you have open every bag/box to complete step 1. =)

Just got done ordering the heating, cooling, irrigation, benches, and controls. *whew* Now I just need to order a clock with more numbers on it. ;)
