|
|
I just tried to order 3448 and 3447 bulk windows in the "original" colors they have been shipping in. I was advised by S@H that both of them are back ordered until 7/14.

I find it hard to believe that they're willing to give up the econmies of scale here. How many of us are there? 1000?

Sorry. Since the site is a web page I assumed all they had to do was switch a few images. Apparently the ".asp" ending means it is a bit more advanced than basic html and that fixing the page requires more work than it simple switch of image files. (...)
