It's June 30Th already?

We are approaching the midway point of 2010 already!

How time has flied by...

It's the middle of the week, hump day, as one person commented on their social media this morning. The Independence Day holiday is approaching this weekend. Our company offices will be closed on Monday, July 5, 2010 in observance of the July 4Th holiday in the U.S.A.

Some of our staff will be off on Thursday and Friday, due to a college visit. Carole and I will be heading up the road to Cedar Falls for our daughter's college visit.

It is a very busy time for all of us. We want to thank our distributors and customers. Further, we want to thank our vendors, though, sometimes it have been a little frustrating in 2010 with lead times. We want to congratulate everyone in the Class of 2010!

We appreciate your interest in our products. We appreciate your business. If we can be of service, please let us know.

As a customer: What should you know about the New TSA screening compliance?

Most of our products are shipped via FedEx. Rarely, do are products go on passenger aircraft. We received the following E-mail from our Sales Representative from FedEx on the NEW TSA screening compliance.

Dear FedEx Clients:

A few months ago I made you aware of the NEW TSA screening compliance that goes into effect on August 1st. See Below:

Again, FedEx will not have to abide by these new TSA regulations. If you are using a freight forwarder, you may want to consider using FedEx domestic palletized service. If you are shipping Internationally, you may want to look at using FedEx International Palletized services. Do you really want your pallet broken down? Do you want your contents x-rayed?

We look forward to any conversations on this topic. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Service.
