"Real" customer service is alive & well

I had to write a post about my experience I just had last week. I had ordered my table & chairs for the sun room from Wicker Central & was very impressed with the company as far as ease of ordering, letting me know exactly when it would be shipped. It arrived on time & was securely packed so nothing was damaged. I was extremely happy with what I got, however, after about two weeks one of the chair cushions had a hole in the corner seam. I kinda shrugged it off & just sewed it back together deciding it wasn't worth making a big deal about. Then it happened to another one & the reason was the cushion didn't have enough material in the seams so the weight of someone sitting on them made the corner stitches rip out.

 I still didn't do anything but then I got an e-mail from them asking me to do a review on the product. While I was filling it out  a pop-up for a live chat came on the screen so I decided to "chat" with a representative.  His name was Scott ...shock #1,  His real picture was on the screen....shock #2.  He asked me to send a picture of the cushions I was having problems with & to go ahead & fill out the review & submit it.  I e-mailed the pics & before I even went back downstairs my cell phone was ringing.  It was Scott calling me to find out the design name of the cushions as they were going send me new ones!  Shock #3

Right after that I went out to get the mail & this handwritten thank you card was in my mail box.

How many people do you know that still write thank you cards?

How many companies take the time to write a thank you card to their customers?

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone I know!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall!  The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free!  We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days.  After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby.  Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day.  She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work.  She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was...
