Biggest UPS delivery to HeavyInk yet!

by TJIC at 11:05 AM June 19, 2008 in HeavyInk.com

We got our biggest delivery of comics ever – the pile of Diamond boxes was almost as tall as our shipping person!

The UPS guy demanded help, because the boxes of Atomic Robo graphic novels were tipping the scales at over 70 lbs each.

Anyway, there’s an all-hands project going on right now (well, maybe not all hands…I’m exercising my managerial perogative and sitting on my butt!), as folks unpack comics and then repack them again.

We’ll get a fair number of comics out today, but – as always – we don’t promise that everything ships out on Wednesday. Some items will be boxed up tomorrow, etc.

As our volume continues to grow (we’ve been increasing the number of comics shipped per month by 30% each month so far, but we’re expecting a slight slowdown to 20% / month starting in July), we’ll ramp up our shipping staff, of course.

We’re also negotiating with our landlord for an office suite about three times larger elsewhere on the floor. Keep your fingers crossed on that one, please.

And, have pity on our local USPS employees…I’m told that we are apparently the largest single chunk of mail volume in the entire town!
