Earning my Stripes?

Well, I just had to share this.

I have successfully completed my largest online order to date.

We stock Russ Berrie soft toys, a collection called Luvv Pets. Nice, cute, soft, cuddly etc. Kids and girlie girls love them.

I received an email 3 weeks ago asking if someone could have the Zak the Zebra. Only they did not want one, they wanted 400

We negotiated a deal a now they have just received the zebras and I feel like I have earned my Stripes.

Bad joke but am quite chuffed to have completed such a big order for a small business.

Thought it would be nice to share.

Well done you! Things will only get better now. Dont forget use this a testimonial in any future sales litreture.

Thanks, I most certainly will.

The snappy titles are running through my head right now.

That is good news (would love to read the testimonial just to find out who wanted 400 Zebras!)

Clue:

If you call zebra, you may just find out.

It has been a trying time as the rep made a mistake on the price of each one by 50p after we had agreed the deal but I made them credit me the £200 as it was there mistake.

It is nice to do that kind of business as it makes you aware of what can be achieved. Funny thing was they came to me in 8 boxes of 48 which were taped together in 2's and one box of 18 (I know, 2 extra!) but I managed to tape all 8 boxes together and only paid £6.50 for the postage but the odd 16 I sent by first class post and they cost me £4.50!

Where is the logic in that?
