Fedex 4tw

[Kent Brooks]

We were quite literally down to (2) 50ml bottles - when the truck showed up.

Inventory management SUPERSTAR. /flex

Never let yourself get that low lol

Two things - managing toward a transition to glass bottles so trying to keep inventory low... AND... Chinese New Year. Combination of the two = panic switch. LMAO

You would have had to substitute two 30 ml bottles for the 50 then, right? Damn Fedex.

It would have messed up hitting 30K by the 19th

Good move going JIT before the switch. Nothing is worse then carrying dead inventory.

Is there an official date? Sorry if I missed it posted somewhere.

Can you please explain the reason for the transition to glass again? I just loooooove the plastic bottles.

Image image image. Going into retail, can't have plastic sitting next to other vendors nice glass. Also, better for keeping (color helps with light exposure, bottling with machine, etc etc etc)

All of the above - but, most importantly, the LDPE plastic bottles we use presently are notoriously inconsistent when it comes to the tops sealing (we toss out 25% of the caps they send us from China due to defects, inability to seal). Since the bottles are going to be machine sealed, it's important that it's consistent otherwise you get a mailbox full of yuck. I *literally* have two kitchen sized garbage bags full of bad caps - over 100 pounds of plastic - no kidding.

Your kids could move those for ya if you put them in smaller bags! 100 lbs. is a lot of weight even for my 10 year old!
