Madness Continues

Another day and another 200+ orders received overnight from our website.

In addition, to add to the (organised!) chaos we’ve had another 40ft high top container arrive today, mostly full of (very heavy) drum kits.

Light at the end of the tunnel?! – it’s dark inside a container! (and much bigger than it looks from the outside!)

Despite his “metaller” exterior, Big Ed briefly exposed his feminine side by cursing the fact he split a nail in the process!

Meanwhile Dan (after saying he was tired after shifting 5 drum kits!) got a second wind and got stuck in to the back of the container like a man on a mission – despite his purple mowhawk taking a battering!

JOB DONE! The team reverts to their usual antics after unloading 2,482 products – including 185 drum kits.

With Drum kits currently being sold at about 25 a day, that’s about a week’s worth!

Manic Monday!

The Christmas rush has well and truly arrived here – with a mad rush of telephone and Internet orders over the weekend.

The warehouse was at full capacity Monday and we despatched over 650 orders!

We would have sent out 100 more - but our last City Link lorry (we had four!) couldn’t take any more weight! – it had over 30 drum kits on it!

Pictured is Santa’s little helper Luke with a few of Santa’s sacks! (we sent out over 150 items by post….)
