IHUK - A day in the life of….

@AdamC tries to get his head around todays delivery….Multiple shipments, but cartons missing from each

[Seul]

Ouch… Best of luck 

[AdamC]

We got there in the end! Some awesome new prods and restocks on the way…

[Giles]

And this what it looks like when we are missing cartons, no complete size runs, so we cant put new products live (or even measure them), or ship to retailers.  So there are piles of stuff waiting until we can move or ship….

[Wlemon]

Did something happen during shipping, @Giles?

[Giles]

Yep, UPS (as do most other shipping companies) ship to UK from Japan (and other places in Asia) via China.

As the world starts to open up after the lock-downs, the volumes of goods needing to be shipped, is far outstripping the available space in cargo planes.  So, there are delays happening now, that did not happen during the lock-downs.

19 carton shipment due here Monday.  Got 9 cartons Mon, 9 cartons yesterday and 1 today.  Ditto other shipments….

[Wlemon]

Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear! I'm sure that puts stress on top of an already stressful situation.

[Giles]

It's a real pisser, but there are worse problems to have…..

damn looters

To make space for Big Dug storage, we have to move motorbikes from our mezzanine…

Lovely, the things you find tucked away.

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with R?

[Giles]

Rayon?

[Giles]

Couple more….

[GC]

@Giles I like how everyone aside from yourself has resumed a position of safety, take care lads. 

[GC]

@Giles:

Rayon?

Damn - yep, that obvious? I never was any good at that game.

Are those superblack high top sneakers hiding just barely visible on the table?

[AdamJ]

@Alex_24 Good spot!

[AdamC]

Clearing the mezzanines for the Big Dug installation tomorrow….

Our usually tidy unpacking area will look like this for the next couple of days…

Things are a little congested in the sewing room.  If your jeans are being hemmed today and they get covered in oil, you'll know why
