Order form and price list attached.
There is a high level of interest in doing this; I have received about 30+ notes so far. I'm pleased to report that everyone actually read the instructions and contacted me (not the list!) so please don't disappoint me by trying to send your orders to the list either. Besides, the list won't accept attachments anyway.
Arnold will post the SAB catalog and a separate order form to the Forum, where you can download them both. They should be available on Weds. We will set the deadline for orders at midnight SUNDAY night 2/23.
You must use the order form! It is a docx (Word) file so you can fill it out on your computer directly, and if you do please save it as "Smith Order" or some such so your name will be prominent when the stack of files are being organized by all of your dedicated volunteers. Alternatively, you can print it out, fill in LEGIBLY by hand, and scan into a pdf, again with your name on it, and email either the docx or the pdf TO ME.
Please recall that this is open to members only, so make sure you use the email address actually associated with your membership so Arnold knows who you are. We are only doing the US order. If an EU order is done, that will be a separate but similar process spearheaded by the dedicated EU volunteers.
Last time, we advised you to expect shipping and other charges to amount to perhaps as much as the products, so in your mind just double the catalog price as a safe estimate. In the end, costs came in significantly below this (at least in the US). There is the possibility that the US will introduce reciprocal tariffs on South Africa; that country has various rates for various things, but it appears that 20% seems to be an upper limit. It's not yet clear how this item will play out, but in any event my guess is that if you expect the total cost to be about twice the catalog price, you will still be pleasantly surprised in the end.
And finally, as before we will scrupulously follow all USDA requirements. When all orders are received I will update my permit as needed, but in some rare case we might find that some particular genus isn't permitted and that item won't be included in your order. You have our sympathy, but the rules exist for a reason. Last time we sailed through inspection because Leigh takes great care with cleanliness and labeling, and the inspectors respond accordingly.
Any specific questions may be sent to me at boblauf@att.net
