NEWS General Updates

Twister Blows Through NYC «©NCSX» A tornado or twister blew through NYC yesterday and uprooted tons of trees just as we were leaving the offices. A big church located about 3 blocks away lost its steeple. Tons of brick and timber from the shattered roof were lying in the middle of the street and traffic was snarled for hours. Some guy's car got smashed across the back window by a rogue tree branch and storefronts were shredded like milquetoast vs. Shaq. It was a great way to end the day.

Tokyo Game Show 2010    Most of our vendors were at the show yesterday and we instructed each and every one of them to grab free schwag and goodies for us. It's an annual NCS tradition and the schwag bags serve as our just rewards for being a (mostly) congenial customer for the year. We only complain when shipments are lost.

UPS Overnights «©NCSX» Due to the "horicon" that chanced upon NYC on Thursday, it looks like some of our customers' overnight packages shipped yesterday might be delayed. The operative word is "might." If there's any issues, please note that they're due to the inclement weather from yesterday afternoon. UPS' service commitment policy calls twisters and tornadoes an "act of God."
