Afghanistan Order


One of our most interesting orders for a table came to us in an email from Afghanistan. A U.S. Army Captain emailed a request for our Canterbury Shaker Tiger Maple table. Initially, because we receive emails every day from every country in the world requesting products, and asking for us to send them our email address, we dismissed this as a hoax. Only after mentioning that he would like the table shipped to his wife in Florida did we consider this to be legitimate. After working out all of the details through email, the order was finalized. We promised the table would be delivered before Christmas. The blanket wrap service assured us they would be able to deliver before Christmas, but because it was a company that we had never used before, and blanket wrap deliveries can be delayed, and the fact that we promised the table before Christmas, we decided to make the delivery ourselves so that we were assured it arrived as promised. We had another table and 8 chairs that had to go to Georgia, so we combined the two orders and had 2 very pleased customers.
