F E A T U R E D Q&A Q: Can I place an order over the phone? A: Our staff is unable to accept orders over the phone. With the many nuances in the types of products we produce, there are too many risks in the precise requirements being conveyed or understood over the phone. Additionally, any pricing provided over the phone is not an official quote, but just a ‘ballpark’ figure.
