AAA Im ports 407-884-0078 December 2012 Page 7 New Arrivals: Table Top & Wall Fountains Friendly Reminders: This is for all of our valued customers who have AAA Imports arrange transportation of orders through local Plant Carriers. When placing your order, please remember to allow us suffi cient time to pull your order, stack & palletize, then contact the Plant Carrier. All Plant Carriers require 24 hours advance notice for pick-up of any orders. We cannot guarantee that your order will ship the same week of your telephone call if we cannot give the Plant Carriers the advance notice that they require. NEW Change Order Fee: $20.00 To all customers who have shipments palletized and use any trucking company to deliver their product. ISSUE: Once an order is created, the products are assembled, palletized and shrink-wrapped, and shipping is fi nalized, customers are requesting changes to their order. STATEMENT: AAA Imports will always endeavor to fulfi ll your orders in a prompt and courteous manner. Once an order is fi nalized (products palletized & wrapped, shipping arranged), there will be a Change Order Fee of $20.00 to accomodate your additional add-ons. REASON: Changing an order that has been completed is a tedious task. The job is very, very time consuming and entails great attention to details. All new products must be incorporated into the new pallet structure, then wrapped and weighed. Sales reps must cancel previous arrangements and schedule afresh. Truckers must recalculate their total load to accomodate our changes. It's a lot of time! REMEDY: Warehouse will breakdown the pallet and rearrange the stacking to accomodate the add-ons. Pallets will be rewrapped and weight/measured. Shipping will be recalculated and amended shipping arranged.
