    Confused I could use some advice

    I am up here in the beautiful NW and we have used Hoya Seattle for years, but are now strongly considering changing labs. Does anyone have opinions or experiences with other labs in the area. I am looking for accurate timely work and a diverse selection of progressives. We are not edging at this time, so a great finish department is a must. I know that seems like a lot to ask these days. Feel free to pm me. Thanks in advance for all your help.

    All major labs offer overnite across the country. Why would the lab you choose need to be "close"?

    Yeah I know, I but did business with Pech before from up here, and although I love their quality, the distance did seem to be a problem. They did not seem as commited to us. I don't know that others would have that problem, but I was starting my search nearby for that reason.

    Thanks Jacqui! Its true that with overnight service the world has gotten smaller. What makes us unique though is we offer same day service on many rush orders, with free pick and delivery in WA. So although overnight is good, occaisionally same day is better. PM me if you want more information, we are in Kirkland WA.
