In response to stuff I sent in on the second of July…
"We have tracked the boots and gloves, and they left California yesterday. I
have no idea why this took so long, probably because ½ of the company has
been gone at all the shows, one of the problems with doing trade shows I
guess, either way, they should be there end of this week, or worse case,
Monday."
“Gone at all the shows…” Hmm, guess the gloves and Booties don’t qualify as “sacred craft…” Ha! But, trust me, they are pretty sacred to me… Forgot 'em one day… well, that’s at different story.
I won’t name names. I looked into it after six weeks, they said they never got them. I called the place that shipped 'em for me, got the details, “Signed for by so and so, on the 6th of July at 9:42 am.”
I let 'em know. They said they’d look into it… two weeks later, “Well, since we can’t find 'em - and you should put the RA #'s on 'em - we’ll send you new ones.” (I’m thinking, what I should painted nine digit numbers on the stuff???)
Two week later, me - Hmm, haven’t seen 'em. Them, oh, they just went out. Me two week later, Hmm, still haven’t seen em. Thus the above.
As I said to my local shop buddy - Glad I wrote the stuff off to begin with…
Still haven’t made peace with gloves and boots made out of soft/stretchy neo that breaks down in two months…
(Deep breath… ) Oh well - At least the new board is looking sweet!
