Re: Weekend events

No, this was an order placed early March with a requested ship date of April 10, 06. I had the secretary research the check and she found that it had been written March 1 and had cleared the bank on March 9.

My correspondence was with Tom Esquibel, the Lead CSR. His reply was simply "> Our records do not show an order pending for you.[as of 4/16/06]" I sent him the check details tonight along with a scan of the order and am hopeful he'll come to his senses.

Kitty did you ask for delayed shipping? Maybe you
should call back and talk to someone higher up?

Well- oops, that's not to good.  The order I placed
a month or two ago
got to my mom in TX right away.  She was delighted
with the plants and
now a couple are even blooming for her in her
garden.
