STORIES FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Happy Valentines Day! I have to say that I have been amazed at some of the stories I’ve heard back from our customers as to where our products are headed. Not only have we shipped things around the world (we recently sent an order to a customer in Iceland), but customers themselves are purchasing items from us and then shipping them to interesting places – Peace Corps volunteers in Africa (they’ve requested various condiments to spice up their food), missionary workers abroad, an orphanage in Nepal. We’ve had numerous charities purchase items from us (mostly personal care items for the homeless), including the mayor of one of the largest cities in the country. We even had a wealthy businessman purchase case lots from us so that his kids could learn about charity by assembling the items (personal care items) into packages to give away to the homeless. Many corporations purchase items from us in case lots, either for their own lunchrooms, for their employees (several companies put together their own flu kits), or for giveaways for events – or even to send to soldiers in Iraq. Many even purchase at discounted rates for resale, or for inclusion into other products. In the future, now that the new blog is up and running, I hope to provide more detailed stories and perhaps even include letters and such from customers themselves.
