Gold Glove Delivery

One of the most amazing things about UFS is kind of a secret. The secret is our GOLD GLOVE DELIVERY SERVICE. We provide this service to our customers in two ways: 1. Door to door-for people who don't have access to trucks. We will bring your merchandise to your home and drop it at your front door or in your garage for $50 (in town only). Our super strong and handsome delivery gentlemen make moving a 200 lb sofa look easy. For customers who require more assistance, we offer full service delivery (my personal favorite). With this type of delivery the guys take the merchandise to your home, assemble the pieces, place it in the proper spot and remove any and all packaging materials. We sell a bedroom set whose posts weigh 150 lbs and most of the time the bedrooms are upstairs.

Good thing my guys are professionals. They are experienced, careful, and competent not to mention handsome, charming and fun and they work on Saturdays. As a customer it's great to know your purchase will get to its spot without issues, without breaking your back or listening to your significant other moan, groan and complain.

$$$: The Universal Language

So I was called into the office....just like my grade school nightmare of being called into the Principal's Office. Shaking and nervous my dad and uncle approached the subject of my beloved blog. They don't think anyone reads my blog much less shops at UFS.

Now I know some of you out there who read these misceellaneous musings are customers. Some of you are internet customers and some of you are coming to our store. If you all want me to keep my job you need to help.

I talked them into giving my blog readers a $10 gift card if they come into the store and ask for it. Now they think no one will show up. HELP ME prove to them you guys are really out there!!!! This offer is for 1 month and expires Mar.1, 2010. Please make sure you tell whoever takes care of you to indicate BLOG on our paperwork. I will be forever grateful.

Gone To The Dogs........

My younger sister is in college in Pennsylvania. She came home for the holidays with her very best friend, Belle. Belle is a 7 month, 70 lb Labrador retriever. She possesses the enthusiasm of a pup yet the size of a small, fuel efficient motor vehicle. In regards to her being a hunting dog, the only thing Belle hunts for is LOVE. She is affectionate and very well behaved. She doesn't understand that there is a weight limit on most laps and tries to oust the 5 lb Yorkie. The Yorkie will NOT BE DENIED. Belle loves to romp in the snow and can endure the cold for hours.

I must admit we did some spoiling of her while she was home. She'd come in from the cold and we had to give her treats, the healthy, nourishing kind.We also got her some special Christmas gifts, the new bed, the new collar, the huge bones she devoured, bowls, and some new dog food.

I think my mother thinks Belle is the grandchild she's been hinting around about. My sister and Belle left on Sunday and drove 9 hours straight back to Steeler country. It's too bad. We don't know who we miss more, my sister or Belle.

Weddings, Weddings, Weddings

So my girlfriend Liz is getting married. In traditional style she has picked the month of June. Of course I didn't tell her why that's such a popular month for wedding....It seems long ago when spring sprung our forefathers took their annual bath. So as not to waste it the nuptials were soon after. If the bride missed hers she was allowed to carry a bunch of sweet smelling flowers to disguise any unpleasant scents.

(Our forefathers smelling their finest)

Well, Liz came to me complaining about all the huge expense of getting married. It is then I told her all about the bargains available at UFS in the wedding department. There are tiaras, cake toppers (I really like the one with the two lovebirds on the swing), bouquets, invitations, bubbles, etc, etc, etc.



A customer from California purchased a cake topper from us online and we mailed it out to her. She said our selection was unique and AFFORDABLE. So Liz made a trip to UFS and she tells me she saved hundreds of dollars. So the wedding is on, Liz and John in June...Good Luck Guys!

Eternal Sunshine of the... something, something.

You know I think I'm a victim of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). At this time of year when it's cold, dreary and the sun light is limited I find myself down in the mouth - you know - sad kind of. So to treat this unpleasant frame of mind I went shopping for man made sunlight - the more artificial the better.

How cute are these? The lamps come in a variety of colors & styles - from Victorian Tiffany to Funky Fur. There are hanging fixtures as well as table styles.

Well I did indeed acquire the much needed artificial sun shine. Unfortunately I haven't succeeded into tricking myself that spring is right around the corner. Maybe "most wanted" will help.
