We are very sorry you are carrying such a grudge toward us for not fulfilling your short order. We are also sorry for your not reading the home page or any category page that stated the minimum order is 100.00. We chose this small amount to allow many people who are not in business access to material at a discount and particularly small business minded people that also want to make minimal orders for their small businesses. We do set the terms, conditions and methods of our transactions with our customers. No we are not in the least interested in competing with "mr lightening speed bonsai business". Our sales are double those from last year. In just this week, we have received 2 small orders that we attribute to people that may have read this forum. We have daily stats of the traffic coming from this forum alone. Naturally it was our intention reading the pot blog to let everyone know we could send them a case of pots. We did not expect your jumping on here with your upset over your short order. We are sorry that you did not come back with an order that did meet our minimums and the offer is still open at any time. For our 4th. we are repotting a couple trees that need it, moving all the cases of pots we have to a new storage shed we have made for them. Build a few web pages on our retail site and later in the day going family and friends fishing and crabbing and doing a BBQ on the fish pier until midnight. Tomorrow is just another ship it out day. Hope ya'll have a great 4th of July celebration of our independence from tyranny. God Bless America.

I still don't think the tax is the real, core issue here. Big but horticulturally significant (more on that in a moment, though) wholesalers like Foxborough Nursery or Marshy Point are perfectly able to sell plants at the Ladew Garden Festival event. Almost any modern POS system they are using to sell to their wholesale customers can flip a switch and start charging state sales tax. Heck, I seem to recall the cheesy "CLIPS" program a landscaper I briefly worked for in the late 1990s used could easily charge or not charge taxes on invoices. It's an entrenched mentality. Given the massive failures of wholesale nurseries since the housing recession started, not one that seems to be guaranteeing success and financial stability. Again, we don't really know what tlbean was looking for so I'm kinda shooting in the dark here. I don't mind if someone producing truly mass-marketed garbage wants to be a wholesaler since that isn't what I want anyhow. I used to be annoyed by wholesalers locking up difficult to obtain plants until I realized it's part of a bigger picture, that of a kind of blundering industrial obliviousness of the American landscape/garden industry. Yes, your local nursery would rather you buy something "on the lot" because that's the only thing that helps their bottom line. They don't care about the preciousness of your horticultural being. (haha) It's a subtle difference but clearly more people go into horticulture in Europe out of a genuine passion and hence can understand yours than do so in the US. Not that some in the US don't, but there's definitely a different mentality overall. Eisenhut doesn't have to offer every known magnolia cultivar. It would be cheaper and more profitable just to mass produce 15. Now, we are lucky to have a few nurseries that are exceptions and/or strike a balance like Rarefind or Forestfarm. But late 1980s Foxborough's catalog - that of the original founder who has long since died - had tons of ridiculously obscure cultivars. I sadly lost it but I do recall cross referencing the beeches with those in Wyman's Encyclopedia and they had almost every one listed, and a few others. Well, the progeny come along and decide it's not worth selling retail anymore, and it's not worth having so many cultivars. The bottom line becomes more important than the founder's legacy. And, that's fine...that's their choice. Now their online feature pages highlighting what's available are comparatively dull. Americans wholesalers see that, when the going is good (real estate bubbles rising) they can pump the market full of mid-prestige trifles that aren't very costly to produce but easy to mark-up, and make a killing. Cheesy upscale "landscape architects" are complicit in this nonsense by promulgating a ridiculous, over-planted style. I know of a McMansion in the Philly Mainline where the new owners just tore out absolutely everything that was crammed in front of it 10 years ago and had overgrown; my friends said it looks 10X better. Then they get bitten when the gravy train comes to a screeching halt. Sorry, fact is, this is clearly the way many of them prefer to operate, rather than cater their operations to fulfilling the horticultural dreams of the 1% of people who actually know plants. It's the same problem as with American car companies. Save 25 cents on a part now even though in might cost lives later and millions in lawsuits. (and, again, this is all overall patterns. Unless he was independently wealthy, Martin Gibbons seems to have been doing very well for himself selling palms to Londoners. It's not like all nurseries owners in Europe are living in abject poverty because they carry 2-3X as many cultivars as equivalent North American nurseries.)

Ha Enduring. You are right. My short form typing when typing LG was literally meaning both little giant and LG Electronics... While I have not done a deep dive in depth analysis on the featuresets/etc of the Little Giant vs. the highest end LG, my head was swayed towards the LG Electronics as I was not able to get a 10 year warranty for the Little Giant. IMO or the luck of the draw, things usually go bad either in year 3-6, but after year 6, for sure IMO, things of these are best served under a warranty as the 1st visit literally pays for itself.... I went to Home Depot today and could not get past the plastic on the LG...granted the youtube video I looked at intrigued me, it was not even a fair handshake on build quality vs. the Mieles. So I am going to give Miele a call tomorrow to see what the parts costs will be ~if they will sell to a consumer~. If it's $250 or less, I'd be willing to just take a half crack shot and replacing the struts myself. Anything more, it might sway me towards other options. The cost for the Little Giant is not the issue. My beef is the warranty period.....When you spend 4K for washer, only to have a repair in year 5 1/2 or 6, only to find out it's going to cost #$$% in parts and labor. Truth be told, I remember the simpler days when I had ~consumer~ grade appliances and I can't recall ever needing a repair on any. They just ran and ran and ran... Almost every pro-sumer grade appliance I've had, to some degree has needed some level of repair here and there and then some !
