Yes, we continue to grow at a tremendous rate and had to do something about it...
This is what our old shipping area looked like, its hard to see all of it without a fisheye lens but it was 60' long and 9' wide...
Everything fit but it was a just barely kind of thing. People that stopped buy for parts were always amazed we had that much in that little room and room for 5 people to pack orders...
We started by talking to the landlord about moving
After a few days of putting a scare into him he came back to us with his solution which was what we wanted in the first place so we didn't have to move again...
It started with a big hole in the wall...
Next door there was a vacant 2,000 SQFT that was just the right size...Here you can see that hole in the wall behind the forklift...
Brian had some better ideas of how to better ship and we ran with them...
After all was said and done we now can handle about twice the orders with the same number of people and have room to double inventory in both individual item quantity and overall total items we sell!
