Re: Poof Ball?

The following FIRST Email Blast is now going out to all teams:

Greetings Teams:

Poof-Slinky has offered the following option for teams:

For a minimum order of 48 balls, teams can call customer service (800) 329-8697 with a credit card and order the #850 Basketball at the wholesale price of $4 each plus FedEx Ground shipping.

**Important** - in order to get the discounted price, you cannot place the order on-line; you must call the number above.

Go Teams!
So the message is that both FIRST and the supplier are trying to remedy the situation... Let's all step back and take a breath.

There are 1100+ teams out there with the same problems and quite a few frustrated mentors and students... Everyone posting that they are upset will not resolve the issue any quicker...

JMHO,

Mike
