There are always folks who want something for nothing. I have been promised postage previously, but it never came, and I also got my name slurred after giving gifts to newbies. I will not trade unless the person wants to come here, and then if I have excess of what they want, then I will certainly share. I, for one, will not ship anymore in hopes of getting shipping costs.

Sorry for that vent, but having been taken advantage of previously several times, and trying to make a pension spread far enough, I won't have anything to do with it. I even had a person begging for material, and I felt sorry for them, and then I heard rumours that they were selling the items that I gave them. That can't be verified, but I have my suspicions, and it somewhat angers me. Furthermore, there is the issue of cross-border shipping. OMG.... $$$

Go to your local dahlia club and meet the people. They always have extras or the club has sales of tubers for really good prices. Wrong time of the year to get dahlias. Your message may get some responses in March, April or May.
