"Now that the program is complete, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done on the JCPenney Athletics Rollout to 900 stores. The program went well from start to finish thanks to the organization, communication, execution and follow-through of all involved. Your import pricing/manufacturing, quality and on-time delivery were greatly appreciated. You received the highest compliment from Millennium Logistics as, "...the most organized company we have ever worked with on a rollout... Your suggestion for double stacking the nested table sets resulted in a considerable freight savings for this rollout. The fixtures were packaged so well that we incurred only one damaged table, which was due to our store personnel dragging it off the dock. We would like to thank you for allowing us to share detailed photos of your packaging and stacking method with other suppliers as a model for future nested table rollouts... Thank you again for an excellent job."
