Mike-mega mega interest

Feels GREAT that the interest is there, huh? It's inspiring to find it online, and I'm extremely happy to have my husband join me. That's the best!
I'm living in a vacuum, (just outside DC ----I haven't found much reality here)

Boy, there are lots of comments on TSP about the PermaEthos course selling out SO fast.
1,000 spots in less than 3 hours. When they say it opened at noon, was that EST or Dallas time?

I love the Geoff Lawton course and look forward to PermaEthos, taught by Josiah. I feel very lucky
to have the chance to learn in this way. (online, and by some great teachers)

And to have this site, Permies. Thanks for providing this way of communicating. I love that you are
working together for the sake of permaculture, Paul. Thank you!

Thanks, Mike. I've checked my junk mail, and nothing from the course is in there.
I used to get about ten email notifications a day.
Thanks for your suggestions.
You really do a lot for the course. I appreciate it!

Hi all. Jan D. here.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I don't get notifications on the course site. I don't know if it's my computer, their system, or if everyone is busy with all the new content.
I've put in a support ticket, they then asked if I had the right boxes ticked...I did used to get notifications.
Even on this site the last comment I see is from April 22. That makes me wonder if it's my computer.

I hope everyone's loving the course. I think it's great. I feel that I understand it until other students write very astute comments and questions, and I think, duh...I never thought of that. haha

I called my bankcard today, and they confirmed they wouldn't proceed with my book order to Australia, from the US without me calling them . That was nice.
I ordered the book and received a confirmation that Tagari has the order and is charging $84 to my Visa.
So excited that it worked out.
I did still see some Designer Manuals for various prices on the US Amazon. Someone mentioned that somewhere they were sold out, forget where.

Yes, I did tell them Tagari has a noreply message.
I tried Tagari today, and their message is still noreply, but gives the dates they'll be closed for Easter. Starting the 16th, but it's not the 16th yet.
My current problem is they won't accept my visa card. It is a current card with a zero dollar balance, in good standing, always.
They suggest I contact the bank, which I'll do tomorrow.

A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #639173 with the following response:

Hi Jan
It may be you have to tell your bank you're making an international transaction. Usually it is OK then.
Please contact Tagari if you have any problems about the manual. We are not selling it.




I'm frustrated.

Thanks, Mike Leo
I didn't realize that the OPDC site was the official site, because I read they were separate, and they said to contact sales@tagari.com with problems.
But what you are saying makes perfect sense since the other doesn't function.
I'll take your advice and thank you very much for all your help for this and all the questions that you give great answers to.

Thank you, Jamie,
I did write to sales @tagari.com. They're the ones that had the automatic reply. I guess I'm confused. I thought that after April 3rd they'd be checking emails daily.
Someone had posted that they had the unsafe warning the first time they tried. The second time they did not, so they ordered, but were charged twice.
That's why I'm hesitating to order.
I'm glad that you had success. I'm sure it'll be straightened out for everyone very soon.
Thanks for the input.

I'm enjoying the course very much. I couldn't wait for it to start, lol. I never felt like this about school.

Hi Mike Leo, Jan D from Geoff's online class
Are you able to help out with the online problem that occurs when trying to order the Designer's Manual. Someone posted they encountered an "unsafe site' message, so they didn't order. I got that too, so did not order.
A third person DID go ahead and order and was charged twice.
When I wrote directly to Targari I got an out dated auto reply, and it was from "no reply targari". I did put this on the site under home, under the first person's comment.
Thanks for any help you can give.
