New Stuff Coming

I'm always so excited when a new season of styles is ready to get on the boat and find it's way to our warehouse. That means I get to ship them to our waiting customers. The Spring items will ship on Feb. 13, right before the Chinese New Year, when the whole country closes down for two weeks. The fabulous manufacturer I use busted their kiesters (sp?) to get my stuff out before the holiday. And I sent them new hang tag designs too that needed to be printed and proofed. So that added another step. I needed tags that explain the product a little better.





But they came through for me, like they always do. It is very important to have a good partner of that magnitude.

I received what I thought was a funny e-mail today. It was an unsolicited mail advertising the services of a company that acts as a liaison for America trying to deal with China. In one sentence they said they can solve communication problems. Later in the e-mail they used the following phrases:

How you will pay for us?

· We will charge you on order basis only. We will demand a small percent of the total amount of the goods which we can discuss (be sure that what you will not pay us more than a quarter of your own office here)

· We will demand the sample charges if you need us to provide

It totally cracked me up the way they used "demand" which is a little strong when you are trying to gain business. So these guys are going to solve my communication problems hu?

So you hire them and they kindly "threaten" facilities into "forking over" the goods while "demanding" sample charges... sounds a little like Ming "the knife" Cabrese and his "friend" Chang "Baby Face" Manicotti are gonna "take care of tings..."

I bet they'll do well, actually.

Thankfully, I don't need their services.
