LOL...

I DID order this week. I received a nice reply that unfortunately, got deleted before I thought to save it for posting here.

In essence the reply pointed out that some sizes of wood that can no longer be cut due to availability have been discontinued. The largest importer, (from Ecuador) was sold to a Canadian outfit that has ceased all hobby-related production in favor of limiting output to electrical wind mill, 3 bladed props. If smaller importers follow suit, the hobby goes without balsa wood.

If anyone surfs, you'll recall that the SOLE U.S. manufacturer of foam blocks,(used for surfboard cores) went out of business,(supposedly due to the cost of environmental pollution restrictions, fines, licences and legal fees) and the commercial surfboard business went dang near belly-up overnight. Let's all hope that this doesn't happen here. I may start to stock pile some wood, lol...

It was pointed out that for simple orders,use the link "frequent shoppers". I suggested this in a previous posting so I musta hit the nail on the head. Nothing else was mentioned other than folks resisting change.

I don't resist change. Heck, I WELCOME it as long as it's positive and constructive change. I won't be posting any more on this thread. I started it and satisfied with Balsa USA's response, (even though they never addressed my core concern), I now leave it.
