Hi Lalla. I was told to contact you regarding the ribbons. My daughter shipped 10/4; her PIR is 11/24; she is ship 02, ship 902. I look forward to hearing from you. How far is Brevard from Winston-Salem? Thanks.

Where can I see a picture of the ribbons? How do you take payments and if I were to order 1 or 4? Would the shipping be the same 2$ or is it 2$ per ribbon?
