Company Supplies 4th of July Promotional Polo Shirts to Village, but May Have Overcharged
Tuesday 23rd of January 2007 07:34:41 PM
A trustee, Cal Million for the Orland Hills village in the Cook county in the US has sold four thousand dollars worth of items to the village via his family’s company the A Million Promotions Ltd. The company has processed several orders for polo shirts as well as ornaments and beer bottle insulators. He became a trustee in 1996 and says that the village has not carried out any transactions with his company during the last six years. However some invoices show that A Million Promotions Ltd had received an order for some polo shirts and shirts for the fourth of July, which came to $1,041.79. Million claims that the business is run completely by his wife and that the company offers competitive prices. Because the invoices do not list the quality and brand of products that A Million Promotions sold to the village, it is impossible to check this claim.
Local clothing company listings suggest that the company may have overcharged the town because A Million Promotions charged $30 for each polo shirt in 2003 and 2004, whereas other companies charge around $5 to $10 per shirt. Million says he can’t remember if the village looked at alternative quotes for these polo shirts before agreeing a contract with his family’s company. He says "We've done a minuscule amount of business with the village." The trustee Brian O'Neill is investigating the village’s account programme including its debit card. Their accountancy firm will also be conducting a review of their spending as well. Million says "There's always the possibility that a conflict exists, though I don't believe that's been a problem here."

Good all round. Will order again.
the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
