Bus Stands 2010

[GDeen]

As I said, I have a whole new appreciation for manufacturing after that experience. Also learned to appreciate what Mango's business is like although we made a good investment in restaurants - just a lot more to it than most realize.

Will stick to oil and gas, and real estate........

and bad crabmeat rolls.....

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Restaurants are a manufacturing business with the exact same issues ranging from production to delivery as any industrial manufacturing plant. I have a great deal of respect for folks that can juggle all the issues in a restaurant that needs all the skills our factory possesses in terms of production, but also needs the people skills we sure do not have.

The QC department missed the crabmeat.

The bus stands are ready to ship. I have been reconciling the confirmed orders (see post #132 on this thread) with checks received so far and shipping information and some problems have arisen. I have checks from people who are not on the list, or who did not confirm they wanted stands. I also do not have checks from some people who did confirm.

Here is the situation...I can try to add the new orders to the run, but this means the factory will have to go through the set ups again. I am OK with that except those who have not sent checks already have had stand produced. If I don't get paid for them they end up in my garage.

So I have two options.....I can use the stands that have been confirmed, but not paid for to give to those who did not send a check, or I can order additional stands to cover those that confirmed but did not pay, and still have stands for those who paid but were not on the confirmed list.

Just so the scope of the problem is known 14 still have not paid but confirmed, while 20 have paid, three of which were not on the confirmed list.

If you have not paid please do so ASAP. If I have not received payment by this time next week I will apply some of those not paid to those who paid but who did not confirm and make the balance available to whoever will pay. I have to pay the factory for these and neither the factory or I are making a cent on this.

I have a few that the purchaser has requested that we ship. We can do that easily via USP. Please provide me with shipping instructions and I will see they are shipped direct from the factory. The price range should be as seen in post #167.

Jon, I have paid but would like mine shipped. My address is Paul Branham, 301 N. 1st. St., Springfield, Il. 62702. I appreciate what you have done for the benefit of all. Thanks. Paul.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Paul,

I am awaiting all shipping decisions from those not picking up in Knoxville or Kerrville and will ask the factory to do all shipping on one day. I will let everyone know. Likely this will happen at the same time the truck shipments go out to Kerrville and Knoxville.

Jon, I assume you got my check, and like we talked about I will pick up stands in October at your house, how many H3-45 stands did you get were they all the same as my measurements? Thank you for all the work! Gary Carmichael

[Gary Carmichael]

Jon, I assume you got my check, I will pick up at your house late Oct were all the H3-45 the same?

No amount of lost investment is as bad as the memory of that long night.....

Wow Jon, What an absolute nightmare for you to have to deal with. I know you were volunteered for this project and you graciously took it on but then to have the situation you described above is just the pits.

I sent my check on September 2ND but it hasn't been cashed so I have no way of knowing if you received it. Could you post all of the confirmed names and just simply indicate they are "paid" or "not paid". That also may serve as a reminder that the "not paid" need to get it in gear. Again my heart felt thanks for all the work you have put into this project.
