Hello everyone:
I am back.
Well, the hurricane missed me, thank god and thank you for all your prayers for Florida and our people!
Ive been helping a friend out who was on the west coast and got clobbered pretty bad. Been helping with restoration and clearing the roads, cutting tree branches, stuff like that, the usual after a major storm.
well wouldn't you know it, I get back home on sunday and my neighbor comes over, we chat and he goes, oh, they delivered some of your mail to my house, here it is. It's been sitting on my table for a few weeks I forgot about it. Well, ok thank you.
turns out the mail that was sitting on his table was a summons, I had jury duty and had to report the very next Morning !!
Man that would have sucked, having a warrant because you didn't show up for jury duty. screw that.
Anyways, I was picked so got to go home monday night to show up tuesday morning first thing. The clown decided to take a plea at the last second,so they sent us home, duty completed tuesday.
so here I am, wednesday and trying to get this back order cleared up. I am going to work all day today on getting the coffee packed and OUT.
USP no longer has an office down the road from me, so ill have to have them come pick it up now or drive it 20 miles to the closest station. This means that actual deliveries to them, by me, are only going to happen once or twice a week now instead of daily. I can't pay 7 dollars a day for them to come get your packages, if it was a bunch of people, no problem, but when it's only one order for 5 lbs of coffee, adding 7 to your toal is unacceptable. This way I can grab a bunch of sacks at a time, and not have to raise prices at all because it's all blended in already due to volume.
They also are charging for using a credit card now, so i had to go thru all the bullshit of setting up my bank account with them for auto withdrawl of the money to pay for it. Why can't things just be easy. EVERYTHING is designed to F over YOU the customer... sigh.
Here use a credit card, it's convenient. Bullshit. You are charging ME 4 percent to use the SOB, then charging me 14 to 18 percent interest if I have a balance on it. That is flat out robbery! I try to use them as little as possible.
anyways, let me get caught up here, get all the orders OUT then get this coffee posted Ive been sitting on for a week.
thank you
aaron
