It's just the "zero" bit that is relevant….

Ha— as in a big fat zero ️
Ok— I gotcha:)

Two UPS trucks? You keep up with this kind of volume and they're going to have to just bring in an 18 wheeler for your deliveries. Though I shudder to think of a big rig trying to navigate the streets around IHUK…

I’m trying to imagine what the shipping cost for that shipment is,and if it’s at least $100 a box,that’s $9700. Am I even close?

[Kasi]

Nope, cost more the price has soar since the COVID-19…

More like USD20,000

WOW…That really sounds like a lot. Thanks for putting it into perspective for me.

And the VAT we have to pay upon this import will be in the region of USD40K.  We can claim that back, but it ties up working capital…..

Day 2 - still missing around 7 boxes which are having a holiday in China…

It is a blessing that Derek, our main UPS driver, has a sunny disposition.  He turned up yesterday afternoon, little knowing that on top of dozens (how many did we actually ship yesterday @AdamC ) of direct customer shipments, @Graham had sorted and packed 36 large cartons for retailers…....

[Steffen]

Absolut Legend.

[AdamC]

Best part of 100 shipments, but Graham had done 38 large boxes when all was said and done!

[Giles]

Oh, sorry to belittle your achievement @Graham

[Graham]

Just happy to be hear
