Sorry to hear regarding the lost of a cheque Bloke. And, I am sure Cathy herself is very very sad and sorry about it. But I guess mistakes happen. Well Bloke, yeah 5yrs is a long long time, but atleast you will get your money back afterwards. Consider it a dormant income tax return. Atleast better than loosing the entire amount. But yes...I do understand the issue of having 300$ locked in for 5y. Anyways... Cathy...in any way, if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact us and let us know. We really appreciate you taking the time to do this order. It definitely is a lot of work.

Yes, I have Pay Pal. But I was hesitating to use it before as my computer was in the shop being reformatted from a virus. This meant I spent weeks supervising the order from public library computers. (because I could not afford to havecomputer reformatted at Best Buys or some other place like that, however the people I go to reformat for $35, but you go computerless for at least three weeks.) I did not feel good about the idea of inputting my Pay Pal password from a public machine. Don't know how secure those things are. So I offered Pay Pal only to the youngest members of the group and to one member of the group that moved as a convenience to them so they might have a means of paying. Did not like the idea of expanding that to group at large for reasons already stated.
And to say I feel awful about Blokeman's cheque is putting it mildly.

Hello............ I quit the order. I was extremely exited to get all of these plants and stuff... I was really, REALLY exited.. But I don't think I should be doing it because I'm already getting lots of plants this year and I still owe someone some money. There are more reasons but I can't really remember.... So, Cathy, if you or someone else makes another group order for BCP next year I'll be the first to join! Sorry. byebye! Enjoy your plants everyone!

Sorry to hear about Blokeman's cheque. I'm going to add in another tip here, don't send cheques and money orders to BCP. Use online transfers instead, they take more than 4 weeks to process a simple money order, but wire transfers are instant.
Also, $35 and 3 weeks seems like a lot for just a format. Formatting your computer yourself is the best way to go, and with things like Windows 7, it's as easy as popping in the installation disk, follow the few short steps, wait 1-5 hours depending on your computer speed, and then it's done. After, you just get your Microsoft Office disk for stuff like Word if you need it. I would never leave my computer alone at Best Buy, they'd copy your files to a backup and snoop at your stuff.

I would not know how to do a reformat and Best Buys wanted $170 the last time this thing had to be reformatted! My hard drive has some sort of weird interface. I know how to run programs but I am not a geek.

For those of you waiting, BCP has yet to acknowledge my order. Also, when I went to fax the import permit, the number was out of service. Don't worry, I will keep after them.

What I did with CZ Plants was scan my permit and e-mail it to them with the order, it cheaper and they don't have to worry about or waste time matching paperwork from 2 different sources.
