I’m not sure how exactly bonuses work, but if I’m eligible a bonus of D. capensis "Typical" - 9 pkg + bulk

P.S. I can cancel the request, right?
For example, if I don’t find any #10 business envelopes or stamps.

For starters, you have it backwards. The Capes are not offered as a bonus, but the OP VFT are. You can still request the VFT seeds as your primary request, but you cannot request the Capes as a bonus. However, if you change it and request the Capes as your primary request, you can request the OP VFT seeds as the bonus.
As to the envelope, it does not have to be a #10. That size is suggested because it's a more standard size and more easily handled by the USPS. You can send a little postcard sized SASE if you'd like, but if you do a two-fer with bonuses and add-ons, it would be too small.
So edit your request to reflect the correct primary bonus, or cancel it. Whichever you think is best.

Um, OK. But requests are a monthly thing, not a daily one, so I'm not sure what this means.

Alright, I change cape sundew (drosera) to main request and VFT OP to bonus. For the September 18 thing, I included the day so I’ll know the next time I can request seeds is October 18.

Nope, you can request seeds on the 1st of any month. The dates figure in when you're looking to qualify for the next tier. And then it's the date you joined the Forum (in your case, Sep 17, 2024) that counts. For instance, for you to be eligible for Tier 1, you'll have to wait until Oct 17 and you'll have to have the 5 non-giveaway posts. Since you've already got more than 5 posts, if you want Tier 1 seeds, just wait until Oct 17 request them. Otherwise, you can request Tier 0 seeds on Oct 1.

Tier 1: Forum member active at least 1 month with 5 non-giveaway posts. (Or any donor)

Request received.
Your request number is 1813.
I'll PM you shortly with a mailing address for your SASE.
Thank you for your request.

Reminder to all:
Please remember to write your Forum username and request number somewhere on the envelope or in a note.
I don't have access to a cross reference of real-world names linked to usernames.
Remembering these things helps me fill requests quicker.
Thank you.

Happy growing,
Chef
