Container Day. Groundhog style.

Oh gosh, how much do I suck at keeping this blog up to date! Feel free to not answer that, but here I am now, tadaa!

Hamish got home a week or two ago after spending SEVEN LONG WEEKS in Asia overseeing production runs.

We are now flat tack in Brisbane unloading said products out of their 40 foot container which arrived late yesterday afternoon. I think by this time tomorrow night it will all be in the warehouse. That which hasn’t already been shipped out that is, Hamish has been doing the heavy lifting and I’ve been doing the filling of preorders and sending it back out the door again.

And then there’s been all the lovelies schlepping over here to pick up their bulk orders. We love putting faces to the names we see on our invoices all the time :) It’s a pity we’re doing it at a time when we are looking our sweaty bedraggled grime covered worst and in such a rush we can hardly string a sentence together, but lovely none the less ;)

Hamish flies out to NZ to repeat the process (except in a 20foot rather than 40 foot, phew!) at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning. So we have ONE more day to get this sorted before I’m in it up to my eyeballs on my own again. Ack. Noooo. Not that I envy his end of the bargain either, poor Hamish!

One Hamish + one Sarah + one 7 year old child labourer รท 2 days before Hamish flies to NZ = 13 tonnes of new stock just backing in.
READY, SET, GO.

Just now, calling it quits for night two. Can’t see the back wall yet, but I know it’s there somewhere!

    My god you lot are dedicated! Is it brand new never before seen on Green Beans stock or just re-fills of existing stock?
