Unable to take on work until February
« on: December 02, 2013, 11:00:15 AM »
Just to let people know I cannot take on anymore port work until February 2014. I am swamped and need to catch up. I am more than happy to send out price lists but I just cannot take on more work at this time.
Thanks

Now thats what you call a stand up person. Instead of letting more work back up and cause delays on returning the product, Mike let all of us know his status up front.

Thanks for what you do Mike.
