Thanks, Jim, for following up on this for me, and I will not hesitate to recommend Boots USA to anyone I know, in

fact I still have the business cards you sent.  I have had a lot of iffy experiences with some internet retailers, but I'm

glad to say it has been a pleasure dealing with all of you guys.

sincerely,

John Davis (4/14/01)


Jim,

I just wanted to thank you for your help in getting my boots. The choice you gave me about upgrading from the Carolinas to the Chippewas, was perfect. Then your help in returning the too big size ones, and getting my new ones went like clockwork.

I love 'em. Thanks again.

Hello,
     I just tried to leave feedback for you but I guess the transaction was to long ago. So I wanted to let you know how pleased I was to receive the Chippewa Boots (ARTIC 50) Today. I know that there was a little misunderstanding at first but you really came through on your word, and I thank you for that. I know that this will not be on the Ebay Feedback page, although I wish it was, but just as long as you get this thats all that matters.
 
Thanks Alot,

        Just a word of thanks....after calling 3 times to Boots USA you got me into the right boot with the right size and a great price. I am so happy with the instant comfort of my new Chippewa 27899 Motorcycle boots. I am wearing them every day at work until they are broken in. The thick heels and soles make it more comfortable riding my old CB900F Honda Super Sport and gives me the confidence of extra protection with the steel toe and shank. Thanks again for your help.

Hiya franc!

    Got the second pair of 'Chippewa' boots last week. They're great, fit perfect with winter socks.

Hi Frank,

Wanted to follow up on the Carolina Linesmen I purchased and talk to you about another pair I'm interested in.  I came back yesterday from a long weekend touring on my bike and wore the linesmen boots--they are really nice boots!  Fit like a glove and very comfortable.  Got compliments and you got some free marketing.
 


Mr. Franc Rocheleau,

After researching boots on the web I recently ordered a pair of Chippewa EMT boots from your company.  They arrived within three days of placing the order and I just laced them up last night.  I'll be shining and breaking them in over the next week when I ride in uniform with our motor officers to the Arizona Law Enforcement Memorial on May 5.

Being an old motor officer I still appreciate spit shined boots.  The Chippewas are definately one of the most shineable boots I've seen.  I'm impressed with the quality and fit for the price. I'm amazed that they are "blems," which were the only available boots in my preferred make/model and size.

You may be the same gentleman I talked to over the phone when I placed my
ordered.   If you are, thanks for checking the boots while we were on the
telephone and thanks for your overall excellent service.

Franc, thanks for the dicount on the boots. I recieved the Sage boot today and they fit much beter than the others did. They are not a perfect fit but I think they will work. Have a great week  Jeff  (4/19/03)

Hi Franc, you were right! There wasn't really a difference between the two sets of boots. I have already return shipped the pair I received today. The invoice # is 5899.Thanks again for the great service and I will be enjoying my boots. Sincerely, JL (3/29/03)
Franc,
 Thank you...my son received the boots on Monday, and he is very happy with them.
 Thanks....Dennis   (3/19/03)

this insnt a question, just wanted to thank you love the boots, have already sent my friends to your website, thank you for the t shirt and the brush love it all. fastest shipping we've had thanks again

Thank you for a great price on a great boot.   Brandon (03/13/03)
 

Hi, I got my Chippewas yesterday and they are fantastic.  I was a little skeptical because I ordered a pair of blems and the price was so low.  But I was pleasantly surprised.  I think I know what the blemish is but am not sure I would have noticed if I hadn't been searching for a flaw.  They fit and look great.  Thanks for your advice when I called and your prompt delivery.  Look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
 
Thanks again

Dear Bob,
No strings but there is one catch.  You have to pay the shipping costs.  If you order the wrong size or return them because you just don't like them, you pay the shipping.
 
That is the only catch.
Sincerely,
Franc

Thanks for the quick reply, Franc.
I hope I didn't come across badly in my first email. But when I see great boots at such a low price I start to wonder "what strings are attached?" (Besides the laces, of course.)
I gotta save my pennies for a few weeks, but I'll be back for those Chippewa boots!
Thanks again.

dear franc,
the chippewa boots that were bound for the guy from
dusseldorf have entered the harbor today: thank you. :D
this time they fit very well (maybe you'll remember:
1 1/2 years ago I / my sister ordered a pair of same style
in 10.5 (for me) - not real perfect to wear them an eternity, isn't it)
one question: what about the "imperfect" signing on the box?
however, I ordered a pair of first quality. perhaps you can tell
me which point is the "imperfect"...

Hi Franc
I have just got my boots  (71418) and I just wanted to say a big thank you for your excellent service.  They are just great - I am glad I went with the 8, the fit really and just need to be worn and broken in - I think the women will love them!!!
Thanks also for the t shirt I will wear it with pride - you have sent me a great pair of boots which I really appreciate.

Hello, Franc--
I liked the look, fit, quality, and price of the Chippewa #27868 harness
boots I just purchased from you! And also the very prompt delivery.
I've passed out most of the business cards you forwarded to other riders.
But not the T-shirt...
Thanks again & regards,

Hello,  I recently received my boots boxed and in good condition.
Brown over Black #D102226, ladies shoe-boots. I only have one small suggestion, (small gripe). I noted that the boots are not 100% leather, but have manmade materials included. I would recommend that you post this information, (I know you have limited space) as it would have influenced my decision on purchasing. Thank you very much, and for including your business card with the receipt. I like that touch. I will look forward to future business... and in future, I will email for further description of the boot/shoe to include if it has manmade materials.
Thanks again
Perrine
PS Obviously my preference is all-leather, but I will make exception on the sole possibly (rubber etc).

POINT WELL TAKEN  THANK YOU,  FRANC

Hi Franc,
Thanks for the prompt reply! I've already filled in the order form on the website with all the details. I've splitted it in two, therefore you'll find two forms with my name.
The first has the boots details and the first eight # of my credit card (sorry I've forgot to put the XXXX on the missing 8!)
The second has written in the T1 field "Silvia Casali (see previous form)" and in the shipping instruction field has the address where you have to ship the boots, that is: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.   Park Rapids MN 56470. If you are able to have them receiving the boots by next Sat. (Nov. 16th) it would be great!
Just a question...I tried on size 6 of the 4742 style but it was quite large (I mean, while walking they went up and down in the back). I'm usually a size 6, do you think I should have to buy a 5, 5 1/2 or 6? In the order form I wrote 5 1/2 or 6..
Thanks again
Silvia
( Silvia is from Italy, will visit the USA in November and has figured out that she can save lots of money by having boots sent to her USA address while she visits.)

 


Hi:
I bought a camo Shorty Helmet from you last week. I just wanted you to know that it is what I was looking for. The Camo pattern is fantastic and the price was good also. I had looked on the Web for a week before I found your ad. You need to put a picture of this helmet on you internet site and I am sure there would be more hunters like me that would buy it. I was concerned because I did not get to see the camo pattern before I bought. I will tell all my friends about this great deal.
Once again thanks for the fast shipping and t-shirt.

Hello Franc
I received my boots on 11/1/02 and they fit great! They are very comfortable, look good, and the price was super!  They will do just fine until I can get a pair of custom made boots.
Thank you,
Jeff Grice


Balay that last email, I received them today and they look great, the Blems
ended up being a millimeter size scratch so I'm happy.
And thanks for guessing my correct T-Shirt size :) I'll be sure to advertise
for you guys

Dear Franc
Thanks a lot for such great service from your company.  The boots arrived promptly, and when I had questions and called the 888 number, all questions were answered fully, and in a courteous and professional manner.
You store will come highly recommended from me.
Thanks again,

Franc,

just got my new Chippewa #90700 ( 17 inch steel toed poleclimbers that bikers love) Today.  I ordered them last month, but my bike broke down and i (sic) had to cancel my order to be able to fix the bike.
I was able to order them less than a week ago, and i was surprised how fast the got here to AZ, and after I opened the box, WOW what a deal, they are more then i expected, GREAT.
i
(sic)looked around before ordering and I'm so glade I got them from you, and a free shirt to boot.
it's 110 degrees here, I was going to wait for winter to wear them but I got them on now, I couldn't wait.
Thanks for the great service, and great boots.

Mr. Rocheleau,

I just wanted to take a second and thank you for your service and product.
My wife gave me a budget of "about $100.00" for snake proof boots. My first
thought was Gokey boots, which my grandfather had always worn. $400.00.
Way out of the price range.

My second search got me to Chippewa boots. My first click found me a pair
of Chippewa boots at Sheplers online for $174.00. Still too much. Next
click found them for a couple of places for $134.00. Better, but still too
far off.

Next click got me to www.bootsusa.com     $109.00 for the same boots I had been
looking for. Only difference was that they were "blemished". Considering
what I have planned for them, who cares? Too good to be true. I knew there
were some surprises ahead, and there were. I'll list them:

1. You actually had my size.
2. You told me that they were $95.00 instead of $109.00.
3. You called me back after checking your stock, like you said you would.
4. You didn't have a "shipping and handling fee". By the way, the postage
on the boots was $12.85. You charged me $12.80.
5. The boots look absolutely perfect, fit correctly, and arrived a day
early.

You got me in at $111.40. We take a lot for granted these days, and I think
most of us have come to expect mediocre service. Because of this,
outstanding service like I received from your company truly stands out. I
am delighted with my purchase and will recommend you and your business
whenever I get the chance. Thank you for including your business cards, and
thanks for the T-shirt.

Best of luck to you and your company,

Dear Franc,
 
Monday, 15 of July, 4.00 PM.
The postman just leaves my office, and he brings me THE box I was waiting for.
Yes, the boots are in my hands, and are amazing. It's the right choise, and the right size.
I wear them, and they fit fantastic.
I had some dificulties, to find the right size because in Europe we don't mesure in inches.
But with your help, we find the solution to the probleme.
The only shop where I could find CHIPPEWA boots was in PARIS. ( about 220 Kms from here )
But The price was so expansive, I find my dreamed boots in the U.S. with a very good price.
It's a real pleasure to make buisness with you Franc, and I'll recommended your company to all
the other motorbikers.
I'll put your URL site on 20 paper carts, and give them away to anyone who ask me some question
on my boots. I hope you'll have more Belgian motorbikers in the future.
Thanks again for the great customer service you provide.
Best regards from a very satisfuly PETER from Belgium.

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I received my boots on 6-20-02 and was very pleased with them.  On 6-22-02, I received a second box from you with another pair of boots, they both had this same invoice # of 4591.  I checked my credit card statement to see if you charged me for 2 boot orders and you only charged me for one.  Since I am an honest individual (Christian), I would like to let you know that you sent me a second pair of boots under the same invoice that I didn't pay for.  Please let me know how I should go about send one pair back (It says on your home page, "The customer always pays the shipping.")  Thank you, Jerry Matheson
( Sometimes we make mistakes  I thank you for your honesty---
And we will pay the freight in this case.     Franc )


Hi Franc:
I am very pleased with the Chippewa Packer boots I purchased from you recently.
I am looking for a some warm weather work boots, specifically the desert boots the GI's wear. 
Do you have access to them?  I searched your site and couldn't find any.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

Mr. Rocheleau,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I am enjoying the boots
that I purchased from your store.  Not only are they good looking, but are comfortable
as well.  To top it off, the boots were received within two days!!I truly appreciate
the friendly service, and great price!  I will definitely shop at BootsUSA.com in the future,
and will refer people to your site when ever I can.  Thank you again!

Hello Frank,

I received my boots a couple of weeks ago, and took
them out riding last weekend.  I got caught in a
cloudburst, and these boots kept my feet warm and dry.
 In short, I'm very happy with them.  Thanks again for
the great customer service you provide.

Got my boots a day early. Like a kid at Christmas I had to rip them open. The boots are excellent quality, look cool, and I saved a fortune. I can't believe I paid 1/2 as much than the less superior set of boots I bought last year. Thanks Franc. You've got a customer for life. Oh yeah my friend got his today and I'm sure he's probably going to sleep in them tonight. You know, to help break em in. Take care and keep up the great work!!!

Franc, 4 years ago I bought my wife a pair of boots at your shop in the Mile
High Flea Market, so when I recently started shopping around for a pair of
boots for wildland firefighting you were one of the places I called.  You
talked me into a pair of blem. Chippewa Loggers - #25510 and said that this
is one of the main models you sell for wildland fires.  The boots are more
than I expected!  Not only did I get an American made boot, I also got a
pair of boots that is extremely comfortable.  Not going to be a problem
wearing these for 2 weeks straight on the fireline!  While breaking them in
at work I have already given one of your business cards to 2 others that
like the look of my boots and are thinking about getting a pair for work.
Any of our other firefighters that will be doing wildland have also heard
about you.  Thanks,

Franc,                                                                                              I received the boots I ordered from you today and they are great. Now if you would, please send me a pair of the gray & black # 6000 in size 12 d. I would appreciate it. Anyway, I am now looking for a pair of gray boots similar to the ones I have. Please e-mail me if you can fill the order or not. Thank you very much for the boots and T-shirt. Jim Ledford        xxxx@aol.com.            PS  Will probably send you more business as soon as my friends see the boots I bought from you.    (3/17/02


Dear Franc,

the boots just arrived...exactly as you discribed 'em.   They fit as well!...

I'll tell the guys about your store but if anyone else orders, it would be a very good idea to wrap the box and mark it as a "GIFT"...or at least value it at $30.00 or somethig like that.

Problem in the UK is that our lovelygovernment is the biggest thief in the western world!...we pay 85% tax on gasoline, 300% tax on tobacco, 95% tax on beer (Its no surprise that every assylum seeker this side of the Atlantic travels all the way from Asia and Europe to get to the UK!!! everything's free for parasites)

Anyway, the point is i just had to pay the equivenent of $55.00 tax and duty to recieve the boots valued at $109.95...can you believe that?...50% tax!!...its true.

My $2000 Gretch guitar from CA cost nothing in theft duty as it was mark a "gift"

Thanks for the advice!  Today I received the T-shirt you sent.  This was highly unexpected.  Either I expect too little from businesses or you are the absolute best retailer I have ever delt with.  From now on, I will buy all my boots from you and recommend that my friends do the same.  Feel free to use me as a reference.  Thanks Franc!

Hi ! One of our guys just ordered a pair of your lace up Highway Patrol boots (Chippewa #27950) and they made a big splash here. A lot of the guys now want to order them as well.

Hi Franc,

Took delivery of the Chippewa 17" boots today! They're great. I thought they would be fully lined? No big deal - I'm already enjoying them!

Thanks for getting them to me fast, the hold up was in getting them delivered here locally.

I'm sure I'll be ordering from you in the future.
All the best,

Complaint:

Hi

Just received your credit statement regarding the boots that I returned .
Regretfully, after all the business we have done together, I see that you
credited back the price of the boots and then deducted a $5.00 Damaged Box fee.
The box was in the same damaged condition when I received it in and if the post office
destroyed it in transit to me or to you doesn't seem quite right to charge me for it. 
Why not go after them for damages since I know when I ship, I insure. 
I think you do as well. 
Anyway, it is not the $5.00 but the principle behind it that bothers me.

Franc -
thank you. socks and waterproofing bonus!
the following i posted on the Victory Motorcycle Club (Yahoo) main board site
- well over 1,000 readers across the country.
                                                   ********
some time ago i threw out a question about boots -thanks again for the replys
- went with the Chippewa Rally.
ordered the Chippewa Rally "blems" from Franc Rocheleau, owner of BootsUSA
via on-line order form at a discounted price from other vendors.
impressed with the boot and BootsUSA. i'm still looking for the "blem" -
"usually a missed stitch" per their advertising.
when i opened the box today there was a free pair of boot socks and two small
jars of AquaSeal waterproofing/leather conditioner with the boots.
i have nothing to do with BootsUSA other than being a very satisfied customer.

thanks again,

I knew there was a reason I like to deal with your company besides the boots you sell. Thank you for taking care of the matter for me. You may want to update your records again since on January 18 2002 I'll be moving to XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     Since it is an apartment I may wind up having packages delivered to a post office. I think you can safely surmise I will be having more dealings with you.
I wish you and yours happy holidays also.

Hiya
just a quick note to say i am back in San Francisco for the weekend from Great Britain - staying with friends to whom the boots were sent.

I have now checked over the boots and want to say "EXCELLENT"  and many thanks for your great service...I am really pleased that I can take them back to the UK ready for Christmas! I will probably be over again in March and hope to place another order with you.

keep up the great work

in boots (of course)

Franc,
Thanks for all the work it must have taken to track this
down.  I appreciate it.  I certainly don't expect to wear
these boots out soon, but if I or any of my friends ever
need a new pair I'll certainly give you a call.  Thanks
again,

Jeff  (9/25/01--fixed a problem)

Dear Franc
Time to reiterate a few of the principles I live by:

* Free is better than a nickel.
* The best signs don't mean the best sales.
* Never buy used underwear.

That having been said . . . this Saturday (6/30) marks the "Eighth Annual
1480 South Jersey Way Garage Sale."  Come "Sale the C's" (Carole, Cheri, and
Carole)!  Bargains will abound!
(I love my customer's / Franc)

Hey there!
The boots are great. I have been wearing them every day since I received them. I still can't find a freezer deep enough (empty enough) to try stretching my other boots. But I'm keeping my eye out for one.  Thanks for asking about the Chippewas. I gave your email to a couple of other people who wanted to look at your ste to see if they could find boots to fit. Hope they buy from you.
Take care, stay in touch.

  I received the boots I ordered for my husband as a Father's Day gift, and he was extremely pleased with them, and also the free Sturgis t-shirt you included.  The boots fit him perfectly, and these are the ones he's been looking for for 2 years now.
Thank you again
Mrs. Donald Roberts  6/8/01

Franc,
I received the boots today.  Thank you for getting them out so fast.  I am
very happy with the product.  They fit perfectly, they look great and have a
spit shine already on them.  Will look forward to doing business with you
again.

boots arrived in Norway on wednesday - 11E was perfect fit.
If you should have any customers in the future requiring you to ship to Norway: there is no customs fee to pay, but VAT of 24% must be paid to get the package delivered from the post.
Thanks!

Franc -- (5/8/01)

Just wanted to let you know that the boots arrived in New York yesterday --
they're great, and fit perfectly.  You've got yourself another satisfied
customer.


   GREAT BOOT'S!!!...at a GREAT PRICE!!!! I got my Chippewa Snakebite boot's today, as you promised!!!...IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!,  FINALLY A PERSON, WHO IS SELLING YOU SOMETHING AND MEAN'S WHAT THEY SAY!!! They fit perfect, thank's to you...working with me, to find the correct size. I have already forwarded your web page, to several of my friend's. Trust me, I shall be "showing them off", to my co-workers tommorrow. I will tell you though, that the boot's were described as dyed black, and appeared black +grey, in the website photo...appear to me, to look all black indoor's, and deep chocolate brown "lower's", with chocolate brown "upper's", outdoors...which is perfectly fine by me... as, if they had grey lower's, as in picture, I feared I would not be allowed to wear them with my work uniform              I work for the N.P.S., in the leaves, brush, and timber on a daily basis. I feel much more protected, from the "critter's", with this boot...THANKS!!!!!   Matthew M.                      
PS. don't mind if you use this as a testimonial, and delete the part about the color...IF you describe the "mis-coloration" better in you advertisement...worked out GREAT, for me...but some customer's may become upset...packing slip described them much better... " brown boot's, dyed     black" I believe that, "that" description, would sell better ...in my mind anyway, as boot looks better to me, than in the photograph  PS, PS  I believe with wear, that this boot will become the "brown" boot, that I originally wanted!!! ...Went for the "black", only because of the savings !!!                                                                                   Thanks again!!!!   


Franc
Thank you for the note.  I got my boots on Monday and used them yesterday for the first time.  To refresh your memory, I am a minister who uses his motorcycle for transportation so I needed something into which I could stuff my pant leg and which would look presentable when I arrived to wherever I was going.  Those Chippewa boots are tremendous.  Thank you very much for a great boot at a great price.
God bless and have a great Easter.

Its a pleasure dealing with you, and I'll be happy to refer any man looking for boots to you.  Mike  1/ 17/ 01

Dear Franc, Great doing business with you.  I will look forward to the boots.  We will do business again and I will pass along your site to my friends.  Thanks--John 1/15/01

Just a short note to say THANKS!!!! for getting the Snakebite boots to me soooo quickly.  I really was looking for them on Monday or Tuesday since we live in a very small town in Georgia.  Well they came today (Friday the week before) and man am I pleased.

My company owned about 2000 acres of land in S Texas about 70 miles south of San Antonio.  Last week I was there dove hunting with some customers and previous to this trip, I had an experience with a 6 foot rattler that started to make me think.   So I found your site (bootsusa.com) and the rest is history.

I am heading back there next week and now with these boots on my feet, I should be better off.   Thanks again and have a good fall.

Dear Franc.
Today I finally took delivery of my boots (Delta#2286) which were ordered in July.
( Nick purchased boots in a special size--a ladies size 14 ) They are a perfect
Renaissance feature, one which will finish off my costume.
Once again thanks very much for your helpful service
(we don't seem to get that kind of service in the UK)
'Have a Nice Day"
Kind regards,
Nick Hain


Dear Franc,
Thank you for your reply, but when I got home on Friday, there were the boots, so no need to find a tracking #.  I love them and I appreciate all your help in tracking down my size!  I will definitely refer my friends to you for their future boot purchases.
best,   Christiana Perry

My husband just received the Walker Harness boot that I ordered .  The fit was perfect and the braided harness was a bonus.  He loves the way it looks.
We will definitely pass along your business card to friends and fellow bikers.   Thanks also for the insoles.  They are fantastic.  It was nice doing business with you, and we look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

My wife and I were in your store at the flea market on Saturday.  We were very pleased with the outcome of this shopping experience.  You and your sales team were very helpful in our selection of a leather jacket, 2 pairs of chaps and boots for both of us.  Thank you for your help and "entertainment" that you provided while we tried on numerous boots.

We are happy with the quality and fit of the items that we purchased from you. Again, we will pass on the praise that we have for your store, and will continue to shop with you for all of our leather goods.

Sincerely,
Beth and Time Jones

greetings, Just a note to let you know that the Chippewa CHP boots arrived in perfect condition.  Ordered on Thursday early evening, They were on my feet at noon Monday...Now that's what I call striving for customer satisfaction and achieving it.  These boots are simply stunning and so is your focus on commitment to your customers.  You can be assured that more orders are to follow from me.   Thanks again...Darryl Schymanski       DarkStar@ij.net

Just got home from work and found my boots waiting at the front door for me! cool! perfect fit, thanks so much for all your help and putting up with my red wine influenced phone call.
Well, I'm a happy girl!
I'm sure you'll hear from me again in the future as the only thing I  wear on my feet are boots.
in the mean time, have fun and all the best
kind regards  Simone    (east of Perth Australia)

Thanks for your assistance with my order.  The boots arrived yesterday and they are great!  I tried to find the blem(s) but was unable to find anything - - these boots look just as fine as can be.

I am quite satisfied with my purchase and will not hesitate to recommend your store to my friends.  When I am shopping for boots (or other leather products) in the future you can bet I will try BootsUSA first.

Sincerely, Matt Rogers

JUST A SORT NOTE OF APPRECIATION.  YOUR SERVICE AND PRODUCTS I ORDERED ARE EXCELLENT.  I REALLY LIKE THE GLOVES--HECK OF A DEAL---WISH I HAD A PAIR FOR MY GIRL FRIEND---SAVE ME A SET SIZE MED.  FOR MY NEXT ORDER ---LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIALS ON LEATHER IN THE FUTURE.  MICHAEL DEERING   P.S.  THANKS FOR THE SOX.

The boots are really nice, fit well/look good.  They are BLEMS?  After about 20 minutes I found the defect, 2 minutes and some KIWI fixed that.. Extremely affordable and great service. jameswinger@nilenet.com

" You guys kick ass!  Got my Carolinas the very next day- a super cool boot, great fit, looked mighty stylish for my stylish for my special event.   I told a friend of mine who does leatherwork professionally what I paid and he turned green.....thought he was going to spit at me.  I'll definitely recommend you to my friends.  Keep up the good work!
Kind regards. Patrick Rodgers patrick@ferret.com

"I received my new Chippewa boots this afternoon and I could not be happier! They are obviously first quality merchandise, not seconds or returns.  They fit perfectly and best of all, I saved $98.05 as compared with local motorcycle shop."
Terry Johnson   TJSYSCON@aol.com


    " I went to Lewiston, New York today and picked up the pair of Chippewa CHP engineer boots that you sent for me.  The boots look great! (Can't really see why they are seconds; suits me fine anyway).  Thanks for returning my fax with my visa number on it.  If you have any other Canadians wanting a reference, you can use my name as a satisfied customer.
