1. Simply E-MAIL US YOUR ORDER!! Your home address and phone number(s), When Fed Ex gives me a quote, they want an address and a phone number for you. (DON'T PHONE IT TO US, THERE IS NO NEED. IF YOU DO, I WILL PROBABLY MISS IT). I am usually out in the workshop putting orders together every day. When I come inside and it's late I usually forget to check phone messages, some times for days. I check all the emails for orders and fill them that, or the next day.
2 Your shipping address if it's different.
3. You do not have to be a Paypal member, so, Pay Pal is our only method of payment now. We may hook up with the credit card folks later but we find PayPal so safe, so quick and so easy to keep track of we may just go with them from now on.
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS;
When you first contact me by E-mail, I will answer asap and let you know if we have the product and how much the current price is and how much the shipping will be. There is no handling charge or any other charge than that, the cost of the merchandise, and the cost of the best shipping I can find to get it to you.
When you let me know if the quote is ok for you I will send you a PayPal Invoice. It shows what we talked about, the address I have for you and the costs with a total. You simply click on the button on that invoice and pay it with any method you choose.
4.PayPal notifies me as soon as you pay the invoice, I mean immediately, and lets me know it's paid and I get busy packing if it isn't packed already. I will let you know when I'm going to ship, and after I ship I will try to notify you when I did ship and when you can expect it and the Fed Ex Tracking numbers. We use mosly Fed Ex Ground shipping, we find them the most reliable in shipping and billing, but the USPostal Service is a close second and for smaller orders we will use them.
When we switched to PayPal it means,
1. You can Pay the invoice with anything, they accept any card credit or debit, any check, bank account, whatever you can think of to pay with they will accept.
2. There is still a waiting time for checks to clear, but PayPal is much faster in doing so, therefore, if you do use PayPal and pay them by check, it is processed electronically quickly and you get your order shipped in about 3 to 4 days. (Sending me a check may take two months so we just don't do that any more but you can pay PayPal with your check, or card or whatever,
3. Paypal is a much safer way to process your purchase than to send your card number by phone, fax or email,, or mailing checks, or giving card numbers over the phone. They take care of over 100 million customers and have extensive and responsive customer service.
4. If you do use PayPal you may never have to send your credit card or bank account number to anyone else again ever. You can direct them to collect or make payments as you see fit to/from any of your cards or bank accounts to anyone in the world without ever re-sending the info to even PayPal.
5. Are they easier to deal with than credit card companies? Infinitely!!! On line customer service is there to E-mail anytime and I get responses even at midnight when asking "why".
Use e-mail for everything you can with us. e-mail address is: htolen@chulaorchids.com
A LITTLE ABOUT US,,,,
Hi All,
Welcome to the world of Chula Orchids. Why Chula? Because in Spanish Chula means beautiful. So you could read our name and address as Beautiful Orchids We are located now in Oregon, a little town called Waterloo, population 250!! No more noisy helicopters, no more obnoxious traffic, no more smog, no more congestion. We are 388 steps from our front door to the water in the Lower Santiam River.
We are a mail order only business, no walk in traffic and recently have given up the nursery/plant sales. From now on it's just growing related items and supplies. I have been retired for over eighteen years now, Patricia doesn't get to be retired from being Mom and Grandma! The only thing I don't like so far about being retired is there are no days off, no holidays, no sick leave days, no vacation,, but I'll still take it! We grew and sold orchids for over 40 years. And what fun it has been. That's over now but orchid supplies will keep us close.
We are just mail order for growing supplies and orchid related items now.. Since we estabished this website we no longer have orchids for visitors to stop by and see. We seem to be always busy. Not having walk in customers also allows us to go where and when we want, and I can do the mail orders at midnight if I have to. We have about all the customers we can handle with our old friends and those this web page attracts, and walk in traffic takes more time than I have to offer. So "walk thru" the website and see what you can find. Sometimes we have to have some time off. If you simply have to come over to pick up pots or fertilizer or, whatever, drop us an E-mail and we will set up a time you can visit.
We are really interested in finding new vendors for our Clear Orchid Pots made for us by the McConkey Company. If you are a business and have an interest in this drop us an E-mail.
You can check out these pictures (picture 1) (picture 2) with me and my dog Spot! My son Russ and I got this guy to come over. Russ left when Spot showed up. Well, Spot is about 2500 pounds, ten foot long of one, big, black, spot! Patricia took the pictures, that was as close as she would get. Spot being friendly and all was just rubbing on my hand up and down. The 450 pound grey porpoise in the background eventually tired of watching and pushed the pilot whale out of the way and jumped up on that shelf in the water right into my arms. Yes, I got pretty wet, but it was great!! We visit Seaworld in San Diego a lot to see Spot and his buddies. Here are some pictures of Pat and I on a couple of requests. If you don't want to mess with them just skip the next four pictures listed here.
Pat and her dog spot!
