Circular Logic

We just received some adorable new umbrellas (with matching backpacks) and were preparing to put them online. But we just wanted to double-check how much the freight would be – a Posten ”paket” is much more expensive than a ”stort brev”. So I found out… that if the umbrellas are packed in a mailing tube, they can be sent as a ”stort brev” for a reasonable price – but only if the tube is round. If the tube is exactly the same length but square, then it can’t be sent as a letter, and must be sent as a package, which costs more than twice as much. Really. If you were Posten, would you rather have a bunch of round tubes rolling around, or would you rather have something you can stack easily? Go figure. Anyway, now we have umbrellas AND round tubes so we’re ready! Enjoy the next rainy day –
What a Difference!

I must admit that we stick with what we know… so when it was time to get shelves for our warehouse, I went straight to IKEA. Our old friends surround us now – Expedit, Billy, Ivar, Journalist – and they are as practical as ever. But we needed something more specific for a few of our products, so I went over to a real ”store outfitting” store. What a wonderful place! They had so many solutions for just about any kind of store that I was completely fascinated. I could easily have spent a couple of hours poking around in there, imagining creative solutions for display and storage… Anyway, the result is clear – just look at how happy our hand puppets are to have their own space!

Únexpected Challenges
Posted in Uncategorized on oktober 7, 2008| Leave a Comment »
I spent a bit of a rainy Sunday in the office/warehouse with Christopher (age 5). I just wanted to count how many shelves we needed to order for the new space we are taking over, and the weather was so horrible that I thought Christopher needed a break from the house. My counting was done in 5 minutes, but Christopher saw some boxes, and started ”working”. Armed with a cart and a toolbelt, he took it as a personal challenge to clear the entryway of all the boxes of RoomMates (one of the many products which have not yet found a good home in the warehouse). Needless to say, Monday morning was a challenge as we tried to pack weekend orders. Jungle Stickers? Hmmm…. We found boxes in more than six different locations, and had to really search for the products that we knew were there, but we just couldn’t find!
