A NEW RECORD – 180 LIGHTSPHERES SHIPPED IN ONE DAY
and WHY WE NO LONGER OFFER UPS SHIPPING since USPS is BETTER
Wow
everybody, thank you for all the orders! We are getting them out
thanks to my dad who came out of retirement to help with the shipments
of lightspheres. We also are hiring back one of our production
workers to work in the warehouse to help keep things going. But this
is bizarre, when I first met Rocky Gunn’s dad, it was because he worked
in Rocky’s warehouse shipping products? How much of a parallel is
that? (if you read my IMterview, you’ll see why this is kinda spooky).
I had so many parallels with Rock that I had the heebie jeebies when I
turned 42 because that’s when he died… anyway…
We totally stopped offering UPS – they are AWFUL! Missed
deliveries – 2nd day or NDA not arriving on time, so now we use USPS
with Endicia software and they offer signature confirmation, tracking
and a lower cost. PLUS you can have NDA deliveries by using
Express Mail.
I never thought we’d like the government’s offerings over free
enterprise, but so far USPS is doing better for us than UPS of FEDEX.
If you remember in an early post, we were all freaking out because we
had 300 LS2 orders to fill, and we took over the entire office filled
with boxes, I flew my Canadian P.A. down to help with the shipping – it
took a team of like five of us to get the 300 out in one weekend… and
now we got 180 out in one day! The software is working! My
dad has the system down – it’s great! Only thing is we are trying
to keep a fat stock but we may have some backorders because we order
these 1,000 at a time. Also, we’re in talks with a distributor in
the U.K. so we may be able to have LS2′s go through the U.K. without
too much going on in shipping costs. If anyone knows any
distributors in the E.U. who is interested in carrying the LS2, please
email me at garyf@garyfong.com
