- I spoke to Best Brains today, because i waslooking into joining the
- fan club and buying the survival kit with my Visa card. (No, I'm not a
- yuppie, just a temp with time on his hands and unsupervised phone access.)
- They've been having some problems with people ordering the kit and joining
- the club, so I offered to make the following info available on Usenet:
-
- 1.The FAQ is correct in saying that fan club membership is free. But, please
- keep in mind that the fan club files and the merchandise sales files are two
- separate things at Best Brains-- and when someone orders merchandise and
- says they want to join the fanclub, it puts a lot on their shoulders
- to update that person in both sets of files.
-
- 2. The FAQ is slightly incorrect in stating that the Survival Kit is $5.00.
- It's five bucks, all right-- but shipping and handling is extra. Best Brains
- has been getting checks for five dollars from people who, thinking that the
- five bucks covered everythingweren't aware of this extra charge. So BB winds
- up swallowing the costs, somewhat.
-
- 3. I asked them what they'd recommend people do; they said that, if people
- wnat to buy stuff, they should join the fan club _first_, and receive the
- up-to-date merchandising flyer, which outlines the S & H costs and
- procedures. It'd probably work out to their benefit-- shipping costs areless
- when you make one order of lotsa of things, instead of ordering the kit
- first, and then ordering more stuff later.
-
- The newsletter is probably only going to be twice yearly, because they're
- _swamped_ with work out there.
-
- I know it's not reason for a major alarm, but please, could someone edit the
- FAQ to reflect this news?
