Hi Walter,
Did you specify the delivery time? I received my order in time (48 rhizomes). I asked for the earliest delivery possible (July 7th-July 14th week). I got them on July 10th. One of the bonus rhizomes was missing (Miah Jane), but Sheri issued a bonus credit for the next year order. They lost all MJ to rot.
I placed my order on January 2nd.

Walter,
Did you recieve an acknowledgement at the time you placed your order? I recieved my order from them the lst part of July which I specified. I definitly would contact them. I have found them to be a very reliable place to order from.

Walter,

I agree, I don't find the homepage to be very friendly. I've never ordered from them, being a long-time loyal customer of Suttons. I only checked them out for the first time based on other posters' comments and had to admit their homepage was intimidating and confusing. They should not do that b/c there are many vendors out there with better websites. Perhaps they know they have a market with experienced iris collectors and do not rely on first-timers...

I ordered online and then had a computer crash shortly afterwards, so I have nothing but my canceled check. I'll give them a few more days before I contact them.

I got mine on time. Nice shipment I am very pleased.

Hi Walter,

I ordered from Blue J in 2006 and 2007, approx 120 irises total. I received them exactly on time, and was very pleased with them. Of the ones that have bloomed, (most of them), all have been true to name.

I would give them a call. Sherrie will be glad to help you, and probably excited to talk to Walter Moores!

I order from Blue J's and have been very satisfied with my on time deliveries. While they may not have the most user-friendly website on the net, I like that they have so many pictures available for browsing. I refer to it frequently.

I ordered from them in January and requested July delivery, which I received.
The only problem was that the rizhomes were so incredibly tiny that I felt defrauded. I complained to them and they said it was because I requested July delivery and that they were larger now.
They didn't even send me a gift plant. I am thinking about complaining to the AIS about their being listed on the website.

I got an email yesterday with 'Click It and Ship It' Notification that my package was mailed on the 13th.

I bought an introduction, so I hope they send another intro. as an extra. Most dealers do. You can always expect a bonus intro. when you order an intro. from Keppel and Superstition. But, with the others, it is a gamble. Napa Country sent a intro. as a bonus when I ordered an intro. and the one they sent might be their premier intro. for the year. Their plants were very large, and their introductions have been high quality plants and bloomers. Their service is right up there with the 'big boys.'

grandpa7,
When you order from BlueJ, you get "bonus dollars". You can specify bonus plants you want then. Personally, I like this system better because I get the exact bonus varieties I want. Surpises are nice, but often I do not like them. I'd say that BlueJ bonus policy is very generous.
I also received my order in July and rhizomes were small. I guess it is reasonable to expect this from zone 4 plants. It is mentioned on their web site that rhizomes will be bigger towards the end of the season.

My order arrived on Monday, and the irises were 'golf ball size.' All is well. I will order from them again.

Yay, Walter!

Mine have all been quite large, too, and if not, they normally sent two.

Blue J has a great selection; however, I ended up ordering a measly 15 from Iris sisters and received 10 freebies!!!!!

I order from Blue J's and what they are talking about is that Sheri gives you a discount if you order a certain amount of iris and a discounted shipping. PayPal does not give you these discounts and if you got through checkout with a modified invoice from Sheri first you end up paying way over the costs and then she has to go into PayPal and refund the difference which PayPal charges additional fee's for a seller
So Sheri asked for you to email her first so she can give you the right invoice so you cancan get discounts right the first time.
