Nothing is nicer than to be able to walk down to the local store and buy everything you ever wanted…
Today as all the family owned stores have been closing as wally world has taken over….people are now being trained to shop on the internet and the mega stores all owned by wally world type government / world shippers.
These mega stores have thousands of employers/robots, etc. and quite often ship same hour and the really cool ones do everything possible to make sure you get your package the very next day…they can do this because they have warehouses all over the world/country.
I love to get my orders the next day….but almost every week, sometimes every day, a person calls/e-mails asking WHERE IS MY ORDER?????? And 90% of the time, their order was shipped the same or next day and being 1-3 thousand miles away, it takes 3-4 days to reach them and they are getting mad why they did not receive their package the next day or 2……….
naturally they do not understand or get it…..they don't realize they are dealing with a mom & pop operation that almost everything is hand made and quite often, not bottled until an order is made……and because we have no store, no walk ins, no locals…..we are not waiting for orders or seeking to ship the same hour and often the same day, but instead, we move at our own pace…..it gets done when it gets done and for those that something special has to be made, well, they might even have to wait a few extra days…..often for the amish who order in bulk, they know it can take 30 days and they know to order 30 days in advance…
BUT I UNDERSTAND, I like those mega stores who sale all chinese mass produced slave made products that await us all on the shelf in advance by the millions.
