Summer Shipping, Explained
Pretty sure I’ve never told you why we re-worked our summer shipping, so here it goes! You are use to ordering and receiving your meat boxes or cuts within a week or two during the fall, winter and early spring, right? However, in the summer we space deliveries out to around oce, for a couple of reasons.
- It keeps your meat frozen! How? We actually drive your boxes from our ranch to Albany where there is a huge UPS hub and it saves an entire day of transit time. Your boxes get dropped off around 5pm and most are being delivered the following day. Pretty sweet!
- It condenses our time spent shipping orders to just a few days. We gather your orders, fill the shipping boxes, label and send invoices within a few days each month, which is a major time saver for us during a very busy summer season.
- Office work. When it is -30F and blowing snow office work almost seems a pleasure. However, when my gardens are calling me, or getting the chance to help the guys water beef or move them to a new pasture, or checking fence, or any of a million jobs that are required during the summer, it is VERY challenging to make office work a priority.
What amazes me is you guys FILL our truck every month, helping us to pay bills during the summer which are always typically expensive months which the ranch has a lot of expenses as we store up everything for winter.
