We want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to those of you who fill out your paperwork correctly!!
This past week we had a GREAT example as to why that is so important. We tagged blankets, as usual, from one of our drop point stores. I opened a brand new bag of tags to use. We even staple tags, just in case the glue doesnโt holdโฆ so itโs very rare to lose a tag. Well, this bag of tags were defective and they all broke and fell off. In 17 yrs of business, this has never happened to a batch of tags. (Yes, we will occasionally lose one or two.)
Thatโs a panic situation! ๐ฑ
***My motto: keep calm and carry on. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ณ****
Thank the Good Lord Above (and I mean that ๐) that three out of four of the customers that we had already washed with those tags were extremely detailed in their blanket descriptions!!!
We donโt expect that much detail, but oh my goodnessโฆ. Those details saved us!! Please please use more detail than โsheetโ and โblanketโ on your worksheets!
We are slammed from spring until fall and it sure does help make things go a lot smoother in the shop. I do write basic descriptions on the worksheets myselfโฆ (some worksheets have nothing but a name ๐ซค) but if I had to go through every red, Virginia dirt covered blanket to write descriptions, then it would slow us down too much. We deal with hundreds of blankets and the worksheets are imperative to our business.
We love all of our customers, and we do our best, but we canโt possibly remember details about your blankets, the work you need done, and your drop point store.
The season is almost over for us. Itโs time for a break.
Reminder: We will be cutting off pick ups after September 5th!!
Also, blankets are not being returned until payments are in, so please pay so we can get them back to you!
THANK YOU!!! ๐๐๐
