Forklift Driver DESTROYS 10 000KGS of tiles [Video story inside]

Have you ever had one of those moments where everything seems to be going wrong? This story is for you (and maybe a cautionary tale for forklift drivers).

Imagine this: you're building a beautiful resort hotel in Anchorage, Alaska. Everything is on track, and the project is moving smoothly. Then, disaster strikes!

A forklift mishap destroys a critical shipment of 10,000 kilos of tiles – floor tiles, wall tiles, the whole shebang. Suddenly, your entire project is on hold.

That's exactly what happened to one of our customers. They called us in a panic, desperate for a solution.

Shipping 10,000 kilos of tiles across the country, especially overnight, is no small feat. Not only is it a logistical challenge, but it's typically incredibly expensive. We understood the urgency of the situation. The entire hotel project was on hold, waiting on those tiles. We worked our magic and secured a significant discount, bringing the cost down significantly.

Here's the best part: we got those tiles to Anchorage in a staggering 19 hours! The resort was back on track, and the crisis was averted.

This story is a testament to the power of quick thinking, resourceful logistics, and a commitment to customer service. It also makes you wonder – what ever happened to that poor forklift driver?
