Actual Customer Comment:

Once again, thanks for the fine service. You folks went well out of your way when (stupid me) I put my home zip code in when I wanted the order shipped to the studio address. Your prompt phone call, which my wife answered Saturday morning, straightened out the matter, and my nose cones were waiting for me at the studio Monday morning. Once again, many thanks.
