You stated “This line item should reflect the costs associated with the corneal tissue.” We have just started providing this service and are having a debate on what this statement means. I think we can apply our usual markup, but our cost accounting person thinks this means we can only pass along our invoice cost. What does it mean in regard to setting our price?

Rich J. - Slush car mats

I bought these floor mats to contain the melted snow on the mats instead of going on the carpeting. They fit great, look nice, do the job and have a reasonable price.

OhKayThen - Great fit, Easy to Apply

The glossy black steering wheel looks very sleek and stylish! Hoping this lasts through getting the car cleaned. Left no bubbles or uneven edges so far.

R. Swann - No change yet

Two weeks now and I do not see any results for the 2 cats that have thyroid problems. I would have thought that by now I should be seeing some results. Sadly disappointed as I was really hoping for giving them better health!

Tiffany - Excellent Service

I received my item only 2 days after I ordered it. It came quickly and exactly as described in sales ad. Very please with service
