Vicky,

It's true about the Pogo 4.0 box/case.  When we first had it designed, the 
sample the box company made was heavier than the box we got.  I wrote the 
first promo based on what I expected.  The catalog 2000 does not say it's 
heavy duty cardboard, just cardboard.  Any way, I'm not very happy with it 
either.  The pump is a very nice product that we make and the box is what 
I've had to settle for from the box company.

The problem with making a really good carrier is the number I might sell.  
There's not enough of a market to have a custom Samsonite type box made at a 
reasonable price.

The reason the pump is expensive is that Jim machines each piece, one at a 
time.  If we made a case, the case would end up costing as much as the pump.

I'm open to suggestions.  If someone wants to make and offer a case, I'd be 
happy to hear from them.

Thanks,
Tom Myers
