Should you acquire a pan or any product from us that does not perform, call
me personally and I'll send you anther right away.
We know in anything that is manufactured that there will always going to be
defects.
There is a reason why we are the largest supplier.
We spend tremendous time on the phone to assist and take car of our
customers. Nick, Gary, Grace and Big Mouth Can of Tomatoes.
I make one exception; when a guy says we don't know what were doing and
find that it was not our doing, then I TEll him to pay me back. Good luck,
he might have a strong mouth , but a tight wallet.
