Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stuck in Transit: Consolidated Freight

Never fear Jake! Grizzly initiated a massive e-mail campaign, stating,
in effect, that they would make every effort to assure deliveries of
any shipment that went via CF. That means hiring LTL's to go to CF and
pick-up any of their products for delivery. I applaud Grizzly for it's
pro-active approach in this matter. (And I *hate* the word pro-active)!
Good Luck!
