Re: [T3] Sure Fit Upholstery vs TMI

["Mike" <fisherfarms@uwol.net>]

<x-flowed>We definitely ought to get Jim's "Change Orders" to TMI!  I would think 
making buyers happy would be a No Brainer?  I'll buy an Old Stock if they'd 
at least commit to doing better in the future?  Although, I'd still rather 
go to Tijuana.  We went twice in the 70's 600 miles from Redding, CA.  Good 
trip,price,quality,custom etc.& NO LABOR!!!  Anybody else ever been to 
Tijuana for upholstery?  I'm certain there's still Shops right over the 
Border.
