Wilsons Sandbox

Woo Hoo! That's my Darien you're talking about, Skip. Just spoke to Rider Warehouse a minute ago. As my delivery date has approached I have called a total of three times. Each time the operator went back to the production area and personally checked on the status for me. I am truly impressed. Shipping time was set for 5 weeks and they will go over that by about 3 days, something they told me about the third week after placing my order. I feel like I ordered a custom Porche or something. I think Fred is about the only other company who has provided this level of service so far. Expensive stuff but in my opinion they are earning every penny of it. More so *when* I have my first major get-off... Jim Jackson II A13 - South Carolina
