We worked to enable the clearance through customs, of a piece of U of R equipment that had been sent to the US for repairs.

This included towels, face cloths, sheets and pillowcases and shower curtains. We were able to achieve a decent savings and still maintain quality due to the volumes involved here.

This is an ongoing project as we try to maintain and improve the standard of furniture and appliances purchased for the residence.
