    It’s tonight to see that when your tarps are 40’ in the air being draped by a crane. I realize this is not a problem most have.

    Went in one day, dropped a grand in like 15 minutes.
    All stuff I was wanting or needed. Still, it was all done in minutes.

    It did kinda feel like walking out of a strip club? All my money was gone and I was empty handed. Whole thing lasted 20 minutes.

    A little ashamed really.

    Most women would prefer that over 60 seconds. Just saying.

    But heck even $ tree can be like that. Walk in for a couple items walk out spend over 30.00

    Well I’ve checked a couple of times on the new tarps. Still not done.

    Good thing I didn’t have to pay for them first (although I fully expect to and offered several times). I’ll keep checking but I don’t have much hope at this point.

    Such a shame but about how it goes with me and most vendors.
    Nothing but disappointment.

    I’m sorry to hear that. When I ordered my personal tarp it was ready in a day.

    When the company ordered some tarps it was the same experience you had. We were told they would be ready in a week, I was passing through a week later and stopped to pick them up. They said they won’t be ready until tomorrow so I left. Another week later I showed up to pick them up and they still weren’t ready. I had to explain to them that I was loading the following morning, 50 miles away, and the tarps I was supposed to be using were the ones I was picking up! I sat and waited for 4 hours while they made 3 of the 7 custom tarps we ordered. The ones that were supposed to be ready “tomorrow” a week ago.

    They are #### nice tarps though.

    Yea I called him that day and kinda sounded like he didn’t even have my order. Then he remembered. When I called a couple days ago he remembered me for sure but said they weren’t quite done yet.


    My order was written on a yellow sticky note in joberish so I can’t really say I’m shocked?
