Yikes! I certainly do now.

    You call them and they put together a bid for you.

That makes much more sense. I agree that it's weird that they close, especially when "critical" things might come up at odd hours, as they so often do.

    I actually had to resort to calling jet charter before I discovered that it costs more than $40k to round up a jet pilot on a Sunday night.

I take it that your situation was not $40k important?

Haha, there is a certain joy when the customer is wrong and they don't deserve to get what they want . . .
