"COMPLIANCE BOX": BECAUSE OF SOME BANKING REQUIREMENTS, I need to add this information to my web page.  PLEASE RESPECT INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE THIS BOX.
Physial location of business:  Frank Merrill [Saturday Night Records], c/o Copy Pack Post, 34 West Side Square, Macomb IL 612455  USA     IMPORTANT:  I will **NOT** ever see mail at this address!   Please never send mail here.  
      I don't have home mail delivered AT ALL!  100% goes to PO Box 669.  (Also please note, I NEVER sell records in person...the full 100% of my sales are VIA MAIL, or I deliver a batch of records to somebody, only.)      
Telephone number:   248-743-7004    IMPORTANT:  If you need to talk to me, it is best to **schedule** a phone call, by contacting me first using this email address:  REMOVE ALL OF THE "44"s  fme44rrilljr44@yah44oo.c44om
     This is a brand new phone number, I haven't had an "office phone line" in the past.  However, contacting me via email is **ALWAYS** a better and preferred method.  This is true for a number of reasons:
     1.  I  VERY rarely have an "instant" answer for questions you may have - or, worse, trying to answer in haste makes it FAR more likely to make MISTAKES of some kind.  I am simply NOT a "phone person" at all.
     2.  My record-reservation system works ONLY via mail/email.  I am not able to reserve records by phone.  When I tried years ago, I made MANY mistakes and people got angry.  Mail eliminates nearly all mistakes, and is MORE efficient.
     3.  Even if I am in the office, it is VERY easy for me not to hear the phone!  Furthermore, cell phone reception is spotty, and it doesn't always (but usually does) work.  It does not work in my storage area (I'm often working in there).
     4.  Even during business hours, I am often out of the office - there ARE NO scheduled business hours for me.  I can work 10 daytime hours one day, and the next day I may work from 9PM to 8:30AM!  I have NO schedule whatsoever.
     5.  Almost without exception, I can ALWAYS give the proper/best "answer" MUCH faster via email, than I can ever give via phone.  I reply to **ALL** emails.  If no reply in 2 BUSINESS days (Mon-Fri.), I probably didn't get the email.
     6.  IT COSTS ME $2 TO ANSWER THE PHONE.  This is a "pay-as-I-go" phone, and I use it VERY rarely.  I am on a Per-Day plan.  This has been STRICTLY a "travel phone" since March 2010, but it is now my first office phone as well.
     7.  MOST OFTEN, if you call me, you'll end up "going to voice mail" and I'll get your message, but I may not hear the message for weeks!!  I'm reluctant to use the $2 "day charge" to listen to ONE voice mail.  (Do cell phones charge
           air time or the "daily activation" for listening to voice mails?  I don't even know THAT much about cell phones.)  I repeat, contacting me via email is much more efficient and quick.
     8.  I am open to talking to anybody on the phone, for any reason, but as mentioned above it's best to schedule it.  This is the best and most reliable way to reach me (especially with reception issues and hearing it ring, etc.)!
