I think that's a terrible answer. If you bought the trees from Bay Laurel, then Bay Laurel is responsible for their condition. If they contract with growers and those growers ship to Bay Laurel who then ships to you, Bay Laurel should be checking the condition of trees on arrival and not sending out trees with no roots. If they contract with growers to ship directly to you, upon being notified by customers that the trees are arriving with no roots, they should apologize, offer customers a refund, and have a very firm word behind the scenes with their suppliers.

If Bay Laurel is only functioning as a buying club, then the condition may not be something they're responsible for; but this should be made clear to customers up front.
