Dear PBS ers,

The PBS BX/SX is a service to our
members. All items are
donated free of charge with a very few exceptions. Dell
Sherk
volunteers all of the time, work and effort to receive,
review, sort,
pack, and ship the bulbs in a prudent manner. For all
intents and
with a few outside board suggestions, all BX decisions are
up to
Dell. We are all very thankful for this leadership and good
deeds.

This is a fund raising effort on behalf
of PBS that allows us
to keep the elist active. Without the BX there would not be
an elist,
wiki, etc.

The BX/SX is not a commercial effort and
in general all
offerings are made at an extremely nominal flat rate. Many
of the
items are available from no other commercial source or at a

considerably higher price than we offer. Our rates reflect
the costs
of postage, shipping supplies and other related materials:
these
inevitably increase on a regular basis.

Dell decides what donations to offer and
when to ship. He has
the final say.

Only paid members of PBS may select from
items from the BX
and these are meant strictly for personal enjoyment and not
for
resale, trade or other commercial activity.

Complaints about the condition of bulbs
or seeds should go to
Dell and Dell will adjust as he judges the situation.
Complaints
SHOULD NOT be posted to the PBS elist as it annoys the
other members
and serves no good end. In most cases BX/SX offerings are
made 'as
is' meaning that Dell is not responsible for the condition
of the
bulbs, germination of seed or any handling errors by the
postal
service. If items come frozen, seeds don't germinate or
plants don't
grow, we are not responsible. Considering the extremely
modest
prices, this is a very small gamble.

Finally, complaints about Dell's
unsatisfactory handling of
complaints should be directed to the President of PBS and
ONLY to the
President, not the elist.  Any comments about your
satisfaction or
objections should also be directed to the President. My
private email
is     jwaddick@kc.rr.com

If you have any questions write to me -
NOT the elist.

I hope these comments are completely
clear. It is time to
stop annoying our donors and non-members by commenting on
the BX and
to them I apologize for this bit of house keeping. Thanks
for your
understanding.

Best        Jim W.
