On-Time Deliveries

Zero Missed Deliveries. We’re the proudest of this number and we’ve worked the hardest to achieve it. We have zero misses when it comes to deliveries. That’s not a brag. It’s certainly not luck. It’s our commitment to our customers. It’s one of the reasons why we keep our customers.

The schedule may be tight. The days may be long. But we will make it happen. No misses.

“AUS is committed to the project and its successful completion, whatever that takes. AUS has met impossible deadlines, at times I must confess, imposed by me. They have done everything asked of them and have done it all in superb fashion. Plus the products are pretty darn good.”
