Tommy Bahama Fabric

The beautiful sunbrella fabric I used to have my sofa upholstered and valances redone in our Airstream was expensive and is NOT holding up at all. It was finished last Mar.

2011. We use the Airstream about 3 days a mo. no kids and hardly in the unit as we are outside people...so it is not used much. The fabric has started pilling and fading after only 9 mo.

There is no sun on it and only the two of us sitting on it. My sofas in my home have been used daily for over twenty years and not pilling or discoloration. I have no idea who makes the fabric but be for warned! Now if I have to get it redone again, it is going to be another $1000 material/labor.

Ugh! Oh and I love the fabric, sad!

:(

I sure could use some help with this.

Hello Pastprime

First.......just breathe!

I have your same issue with Tommy Bahama Sunbrella. Sunbrella is manufactured by Glen Raven, Inc. 1831 N. Park Avenue Glen Raven, NC 27217.

Sunbrella also has a 5 year warranty.

Call customer service at 336-221-**** ... explain your problem. They will refer you to quality assurance in their Anderson, SC mill.

They explained the entire milling process along with fiber content of the product. It was quite educational. The Quality Assurance Department gave me step by step instructions on how to handle the problem. If it does not work, they have requested that I call back.

Hope this helps!!!

Verizon - Senior 2nd phone charge

WE have a Verizon account. They charge an extra $10. for the 2nd phone over the cost of the 2nd phone in all the rest of their plans. This makes no sense. Seniors are taking a bath for a 2nd phone...all other plans charge $10.; for the seniors it is $20. I sent emails to all in corp. and was ignored by most. One person responded and said too bad, that was their policy per their marketing department. Well, I suggested it be changed and was met with no response. Too bad for seniors, why are we being singled out? Beware Seniors!!

Verizon - Higher cost of 2nd cell phone for senior plan than all other plan!

I have a senior plan. The plan is ok, but they charge $20. mon. for the 2nd phone where they only charge $10. mo. for ALL other plans. I sent emails to CEO all other members of the board at Verizon. I received a call from someone lower down the line who stated that was the way it was. Her solution was to TRY to put us in a HIGHER cost plan. We don't need a higher cost plan just the plan we have with the same cost for the second cell phone as ALL other plans offer. NO dice! They do not care.

I'm willing to bet you are on a special plan where the primary line is half as much as any standard family plan, and I challenge you to find another carrier that offers a $10 secondary line added to a primary line that costs as little as yours. Most family plans the primary lines tend to start at 60 dollars a month. I'm willing to bet you are paying about 30 dollars a month, right? (I have...inside experience). the bottom line is that you are on a senior plan, and NOT a standard family plan, and you have to be on the right qualifying plan to be eligible for the $10 option. Hate to say it...but it really just doesn't work that way. The 2nd line is 20 dollars because you are already paying so little for your first line.

Sounds to me like you are cheap, even though you are spending much less than a person on a regular plan with a $10 secondary line is paying.

Just look at it like this..."Sir, instead of having to pay 70 dollars a month for 2 lines on our minimum plan for all those minutes you don't use, how about we just charge you 50 for these two lines; it will look a little different on your bill than a normal plan, but it will still save you money!"
