All together I have about 10 years warehouse/shipping experience, working for several mail order companies and running an online fabric store. I always try to find the fastest, yet most economical way to send your package. If you have any shipping questions feel free to ask me.
from MEAG: Diane has bee a great help to me in sales and her ability to understand our customers needs. From the time I met her, I was so impressed with her shipping comprehensions - and her tenacious ability to be moving us towards cost-effective solutions for the customer and the company.
