Re: [GSAS-board] Washington State ADA Retailer

["Paul M. Wallace" <pwallace@u.washington.edu>]

Susan:

That you very much for bringing this thread back up as it slipped my mind.  In 
the recent past, Doran has offered to hand deliver purchases to club members at 
the meeting which is a form of free shipping and this seems fine (has anyone 
visited his store yet?).  The spam from Lowcoaster and Hiro's tendency to sell 
on the side was more borderline.

Due to the time, I have contacted Tony to see what he envisions.
