Hi y'all,

Today, I am going to notify the lots and lots of folks who are on our

Back Order List .. and give them a chance to follow through with their

orders. I have already processed a dozen orders in the last 48 hours

because one of my good customers from Taiwan (now living in the USA) has

advised all of the folks on her AT List that I now have it .. so what I

am saying is .. its going out the door pretty quickly when it hits AVNP.

I will give first priority to those who have asked me to list them on

the Back Order List .. but when I notify you .. please respond because a

lack of response is not the best way to ensure you get the product. ;-)

Y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-)

Hi y'all,

Lots and lots of folks have been waiting for the Turkish Rose Hydrosol

to arrive .. add me to that lots and lots of folks. ;-)

It arrived in Baltimore more than a week ago .. 400 kilos .. and it

should have already been in my company but our Customs Agent (Schenkers)

had some (unknown) problems trying to determine the product codes and it

is still in Baltimore. But last Friday, Margaret, my company manager in

Maryland conducted a three way teleconference with herself, Schenkers

and the FDA. The problem was resolved and the product was " supposed to

have been cleared on Friday .. and it is " scheduled " to be picked up and

shipped top AVNP on Monday .. and to arrive on or around Wednesday of

next week.

As I have advised this list and those who have written to me .. my cost

for Rose Hydrosol this year was more than I was selling it for two years

ago .. but .. the Rose Grower's Association didn't really want to sell

me any in the first place. Their Board of Governors made the decision

as to the price and they agreed to sell Rose Hydrosol this year to ONLY

ME .. so I am not in a position to bargain. I pulled a lotta strings to

get this 400 kilos and I am satisfied with the results.

This increase in price is showing up in all PURE Rose Hydrosols now ..

so for those who are looking for a bargain .. that is, a cost that is

far less than mine and some other dealers .. you're gonna wind up on the

short end of a short stick. ;-)
