Small business usually have some of the best homemade things money can buy. Take this wreath I purchased 3 weeks ago from a small business owner at the OKC craft show. Now I understand that the lady was going to have to make it and it would take her at least two weeks with all the orders she was getting from the fair. What gets under my skin is when you call and find out it is ready, told it will be shipped out to you in the next few days, since the weather is to nasty to drive to pick it up, and a week passes by and the wreath has not shown up. At this point your pissed since its been 3 weeks and you decided to contact the company by text, email, and send a message on Facebook to find out where it and what is taking so long? Low and behold no one answers the phone, responds to the text or message on Facebook. Then a few hours pass and you vent about it on Facebook and finally get a call from the business owner and she claims the wreath was ready to be shipped but her husband placed it in his trunk of his car and forgot to ship it. At this point your like forget shipping it, put it at your store, and I have a friend come get it. Finally after 3 1/2 weeks my wreath is in the hands of someone I know will get it to me. If I owned a business I would definitely make sure I was a little more responsible then this so people would want to purchase from me in the future and refer my business. I can honestly say the wreath looks amazing but was not worth the 3 week wait and the excuses!
