STATEMENT BY BLU SHADO DESIGNS.
During the latter part of 2012 I embroidered a few badges for my personal collection. I then realized that if I never took care of my personal militaria there must be many others and thus the Military Line was established of which I personally took care. As gevolg van die positiewe reaksie het ek ‘n addisionele borduurmasjien ter waarde van R105 000.00 aangekoop uitsluitlik vir hierdie doel en is ons reeks kentekens uitgebrei na 500+ items.
During the period 2013 and 2014 we served and supplied over 3000 (Invoices issued) vets with badges and not once during this time did we charge any one vet a single cent to digitize individual military badges. We have also kept our rates reasonable as this line was not our main source of income.
Aan die begin van 2015 het die Dokters ‘n gewas by my gediagnoseer en vir 3 maande onderbroke van die afgelope 9 maande was ek in en uit by Dokters, toetse en hospitale en uiteindelik op Woensdag 30 September is die gewas verwyder.
As I personally take care of the military line it suffered as a result of my medical condition and I want to sincerely apologize to all those affected by it.
I will be back at the office full time from Monday 19 October and will all badges still outstanding be manufactured (if not yet done) and mailed as soon as humanly possible.
Uit bogenoemde is dit duidelik dat ek nog nooit een sent van enige iemand gesteel het nie, nog nooit bedrog gepleeg het nie en/of die intensie daartoe gehad nie en is baie van die stellings wat gemaak is totaal ongegrond. Elke veteran wat kentekens by ons bestel het, het dit gekry. Ja, soms met vertragings soos wat dit in enige vervaardigingsproses gaan. I have never tried to con any vet as I was there myself and know the nostalgia and pride we served with. I have not gained out of this business of Military badges as I have not even paid the machine yet and all digitizing was free of charge.
Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to one and all for the delays there may have been.
My hart is steeds in die regte plek en wil ek almal uitnooi om weer van ons produkte te koop. It however remains your choice, but being back in the office full time without the medical concerns will obviously benefit all.
I want to thank each and every one for their positive messages and support and to those who felt it necessary to get on their high horse and discredit me I also want to thank you for your business. It’s much appreciated.
Please note that no discussions will be entertained.
Kind regards
Ferdi
