It was like Christmas, Today!

[sorcererdale]

Today in the mail I received 3 packages, they hardly all fit in our mail box. Two were Christmas gifts for other people, and the other was my USA Kilt in the American Heritage tartan. I also got the flashes with garters, to go along with it. Of course I tried it on. It was a little wrinkled, but a little ironing will solve that.

It seemed thinner than my other casual kilt, but probably because I just tried it on right after wearing jeans. I think I will have lots of shirts to go with it. I was going to put it on when my wife came home, but I was busy and forgot. She saw it on the chair by the kitchen table and was excited. She commented a couple times how nice the tartan was. That is a good sign!

Then later this evening another package arrived, by UPS. I looked at the return address and had no idea where or who it was from. A while ago I was eating a cookie. I dunk them in milk and when I bit into half of the cookie there was something like a bristle in there. I quit eating it, called the company and they said they would send a pre paid postage label and to send it back along with the rest of the package and wrapping.

I did that and received a couple of coupons for other products. Today, in that box, was a nice letter thanking me for letting them know that something was wrong. It was a string from the conveyor belt and they were surprised it ended up in the cookie. But also in the box were 3 packages of party crackers and 6 different packages of cookies. I was so surprised! And my wife had already bought 3 other packages of cookies. Now I shouldn't run out for a long time.

Now if only kilts would come like that! I will post a picture the next time I wear that kilt!

DALE.

Are you sure it didn't have something to do with the nine packages of cookies??

Just kidding...congratulations on a very nice tartan choice, I'm looking forward to the photos.

I had a similar experiance yesterday morning.

I got my SWK Ireland National Kilt (Supposedly a "blemished" kilt but I can't tell) and my Nightstalker sporran. An especially good deal considering the kilt was only $3 more than the sporran!

Right next to that package was my brand new Safariland tactical holster I got from the manufacturer. I bought a beat to hell one at a gun show and was lucky enough to discover that it was still under warrenty! All I had to do was send it to them and I got a brand new one! They also threw in 2 adapters so I can convert it to wear on my Duty belt.

I played with all my new "toys" before going to work tonight. Tried on the kilt gear and am now wearing my new duty holster. Man, I love free/inexpensive stuff!

Congratulations on the new kilt. Hope you will post some pics.
That was good service from the cookie company. I once bit into part of a ball point pen which was embedded in a chicken pie. I sent it back to the makers. Never the courtesy of an acknowledgement nor an apology from them. So if it ever happens again I would take the offending product straight to the health authority.

Sounds like a great day!
