The following are actual portions of emails that we have received and are typical of what we <br />are receiving from material vendors on a daily basis. As you can see many of the metal and commodity <br />related pricing notices are drastic and include comments like, "...pricing will not be confirmed until day <br />of shipment" and "...this pricing is only valid until noon tomorrow." <br />The steel we ordered a while back has arrived. <br />Or suppUgr doesnY give the final 'price untie i <br />possible.
