What's up with Macs/Ecklers

[Stingray70]

No criticism taken. I need fabric which is unfortunately only available from them. If they don't have it I understand. Just surprised that Ecklers is unreachable. That was the point of the OP.

Mike, I think this is deeper than you think. Cartouche is a small entity within Eklers. All Eklers personnel can do is look on a computer to see what is in inventory. Dave is critically understaffed and you are not his #1 focus. Updating material yardage is not his #1 focus either. Him filling existing orders and sourcing supplies has turned into a very time-consuming situation. The same is applying to my own business.

For ya’ll that are critical of Eklers, in the case of authentic upholstery materials, it took their size of checkbook to step up and have them made when no one else was willing or capable.
