Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:30:26 GMT

Already nearing the end of February 2010 and we're unusually busy for this time of year. We are working on March orders and already have orders for April delivery. Advancing the delivery date to April 2010 allows us to maintain our minimum turn around time. "April 2010" deliveries are not date specific. In other words, these orders are delivered throughout the month, according to their numerical sequence and the order in which they were received.

Please Note
If you need an item for a specific day during this month, please contact us prior to ordering to determine if such order can be accommodated "out of sequence".

Thank you.
