Happiness Is Card Boxes
It's the "little things" in life that can make a big difference. One success I recently had has really made me happy. I had spent literally hours at the computer searching the Internet for clear plain plastic boxes to put double decks of bridge cards in. I entered every variation of key words I could think of and ended up only finding manufacturers or vendors of cards, sellers of all kinds of plastic boxes except what I wanted, or suppliers in the Far East whose minimum orders were in the thousands. Finally, late the Friday afternoon before Labor Day, I called a card supplier and reached a "real person" who knew what I wanted and told me I could order 25 at 67 cents each from a companion company of theirs. She wasn't sure what the shipping would be--thought it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $8.00--so I said charge me $8.75, which would bring the entire order up to $25.00--or $1 each. (I love round numbers.) It was with trepidation that I gave her my credit card number, but I trusted the company, so I placed the order and waited. The box arrived today and they were exactly what I had been looking for! Oh, happy day! Ashley at Kardwell, you have brought such joy to my being!
