Matt...will you have any DC All Red's in the near future (or far future )

We actually just mailed one out yesterday right as you posted this. We've put a few in stock this year, but they sell pretty quickly. I think we have more out there that will become sale size, but they are slow growing.

Hmmm....then the "be notified when this becomes available" didn't work for me. What do I need to do to be put on your "short" list

Well, there is a trick to that system...

The emails only go out once a day at midnight PST. If we put an item in stock in the afternoon, like we normally do on Sunday afternoons, and it sells before midnight, no email is sent.

And unfortunately for customers we don't have a "short" list; everything is first come, first served. We've tried such things in the past, but it quickly becomes a headache for us. Sorry

Ah well......was worth a try. Will keep checking in the afternoons on the stock.
Thanks Matt

Definitely was worth a try Hopefully you can snag one when it comes in stock again.

Matt-
If I placed an order on Sunday night for a DC XL, but it hasn't been processed yet, is there a chance I'll get a DC All Red?

(Also, how long does it usually take for an order to be processed?)

Do you mean is there a DC All Red coming in stock that you can order before the order you placed on Sunday ships? If so, I don't think we have any DC All Red ready for sale, so no.

In the confirmation email that is sent with every order we state:

SHIPPING- Orders are generally shipped 2-5 business days after being placed, taking into account practical considerations such as minimizing the live plants' time in transit. After this 2-5 day processing time, all packages are shipped by USPS Priority Mail, with delivery time in 3-5 days (occasionally 2 days) after shipment.

All year we've been running at the long end of that processing time (closer to 4 or 5 business days) due to almost having more orders than we're able to handle.

I was actually wondering if there was any chance I'd be getting a DC All Red instead of a regular with what I had already ordered. Thanks anyway!

DC All Red and DC XL are two entirely different plants. The DC in the name stands for David Conner, from whom both plants originated. The DC All Red is just a red-leafed variety that stays fairly dark red in full sun. It is not at all like DC XL in terms of growth habit or any other measure of a flytrap.

Oh, sorry, I was a little confused. I'm a newbie as you can see.

No problem!
