LANDS END ReCalls clothing

       I was watching a morning show with Charlie Rose, and a Lands End conversation/topic came up with a lady who is helping to change and improve Lands End.
    A title shows Lands End iconic US Label. I called Lands End when I saw something I liked and asked where the item was made. It was not made in the US. Labels  are deceiving. A product can be processed in the US, packaged, assembled in the US, and still not made here in our country but we pay huge bucks when you can buy the same, almost same product at other stores, big box stores. Lands End was once a part of Sears, or had a connection with Sears. Oh the clothing items recalled ...BABY/CHILDREN PAJAMAS...not what they should have been as in fire proof, resistant etc. I wonder where they came from? How was that discovered?
     Like Subway who when caught said they no longer sold bread for sandwiches with materials used in sneakers, I no longer patronize. FOOL ME ONCE...shame on you...FOOL ME TWICE...shame on me!
    Why are labels so important? DO you really think you're all in high school again where labels matter? Maybe to kids and to the rich, so come down to earth people and make your money work for you. Buy American if you want to pay a little more, support AMERICA, AMERICAN Businesses and that makes your money work as in money smart. But hey wear and buy what you want of course.
     Those very nice looking catalog clothes, bags, shoes, winter jackets as well as summer wear, I see what appears to be the same at BOSCOVS, and still look for American Made Label's that have an A on it which means the item is completely and really made in AMERICA. Happy Support AMERICA spending.

Delivery Fee? Pay Someone Else

       I just looked at delivery fees for Macy's delivery fees. They are nuts ! To me it's just lain greed. Yes two men or women may be needed and I consider the gas, but 90. for a sofa ? Come on Americans, pay a friend with a truck and help the friend out, or rent  a van and 40., take a good friend along and have free help, then you return the favor. Of course they will tell you, we can't be responsible for damages once it leaves the store-so inspect before it leaves the store.
      These companies have not one hand in your pocket but three, two which belong to the company and another for the hell of it. Macy's charges up to 190. for delivering 5 piece of furniture and of course we don't know until we get there and order to see what five pieces entails. Imagine how you can help a friend out for that much? I would rather pay my repairman the same price than to pay and overcharging company the fee.
      Help your friend and do the same. Watch out for delivery fees and before you go, talk to a few people, even ask at a local church if they have someone with a truck who can help. Remember God helps those who help them selves :)
