We spent the last week working from bright and early until our bodies couldn't take it anymore cleaning up, consolidating, wrapping pallets, hauling trash/recycling, and more! :'D
Our consolidating process produced 1,000 POUNDS (!!!!) of cardboard recycling that we hauled to our local transfer station via UHaul truck along with 30+ clean wood pallets for recycling as well.
Between Weighted Wildlife and Weighted Wonders, we wrapped 92 pallets with nearly 5000 feet of stretch wrap for safe travels to our newer, bigger warehouse in New Jersey!
This work is HARD and even with an industrial rolling wrapper, our bodies are spent!!!!
Crazy to believe just a few weeks ago this was so packed to the gills that we barely had any space to work!!!
We used four 53 foot dry bed trucks to get everything moved out to the tune of $22,000 in moving expenses (:'D).
I'll be heading out on Tuesday on a flight to meet the trucks on Wednesday and Thursday in order to unload it all, then immediately head back to Seattle on Friday to help my partner move our personal effects to NJ and then we're moved out to NJ on the 12th (phew) and will begin fulfillment again to wrap up the BackerKit, process returns/damages/misshipments (we haven't forgotten about you!), and then get back to regularly scheduled orders on our website!
By then, we should have some stellar product photography by the lovely Theodora Teodosiadisof the dragons so we can update our website all pretty pretty and then have the dragons available for immediate sale! :D Exciting times!! I realize this post isn't exactly pertinent in any major way, but I thought I'd share some of the major background work that happens to make such a large scale project happen :3
