True Tales

Make and Deliver Custom Neon Sign Within a Week, Asks Customer

Um… No

We received a request on a Monday afternoon from a prospective new client looking for a custom-fabricated neon sign. Only one issue: They need it shipped from Massachusetts to Florida to arrive the following Tuesday. SMH. How can they think this is even remotely possible? Unfortunately it’s not on a shelf in the back room.
