I had sold three gross of wood handle wire brushes to a good customer, the order called for "Handle Holes" to be drilled in the ends of the brushes for hanging them up. Somehow we forgot to do the holes. The customer faxed us stating the problem so I shipped them an empty box labeled: "432 ea. 5/16" Handle Holes". They sent the box back stating on the packing list that they were the wrong size holes. Is he still a customer? Wes |
