13.  Emergencies 

What constitutes an emergency?  Mr. Webster suggests that, "An emergency is a sudden, urgent, usually unforeseen occurrence or occasion that requires immediate action."

All businesses have them.  The difference between success and failure of handling an emergency situation is knowing where and who to go to for assistance and not being afraid to ask for help.  Bottom line; satisfy your customer's needs.  If you solve a problem and get a customer out of a jam, he'll remain your customer. 

SubCon Packing & Assembly assists in handling business emergencies with a huge sense of urgency. Why, because we know it is urgent and that's how we stay in business.
