One of my suppliers just appeared to vanish the other day, and it irritates me that they chose to simply disconnect their telephone and fax lines. What a classless way to cease doing business. I had taken an order for this lighting company from a customer (and I have quite a lot of floor stock from them), then went to fax it and .....DISCONNECTED! Then I called their land line and that was shut off, too. Oddly enough, I had just rec'd an order from them the prior week, too. On the odd chance that they just didn't pay their phone bill, I send the order in via snail mail, but don't expect much to come of it.

There's a right way to do things and a wrong way. They should have had some decency and let their customers know they can't continue any longer, and wish them well. To simply evaporate and leave everyone in the lurch is just rude and no way to terminate a 20-year business relationship.
