Oh What a Week!
3,000 units recycled and despatched this week. Three. Thousand. That’s not a typo. That’s not a drill. That’s a lot of tech given a second chance at life, and frankly, our team is ready to put their feet up and toast to the weekend with something cold and caffeinated (or fermented, depending on the hour).
The warehouse has been buzzing, sales and ops have been in beautiful sync, and stock has been flying out the door smoother than a freshly wiped hard drive. And then… enter stage left: the couriers.
Now, we won’t name names, but we do wonder: How do you actually lose a parcel? Is there a mysterious vortex in every depot where boxes just disappear into Narnia? Is there a rebellious barcode scanner that randomly decides, “Nope, not scanning this one today”? Or perhaps it’s just that one same customer (you know who you are) whose packages the universe seems determined to delay. Every. Single. Time. We’re beginning to think there’s a curse.
You ring to chase a parcel and what do you get? “We’re not sure where it is,” followed by “it should be with you soon,” and our personal favourite: “It’s in transit.” Well yes, Sandra, that’s sort of the point of a delivery service, isn’t it?
Despite the delivery drama, we remain joyfully knackered. Because busy periods like this? They mean we’re winning. That’s 3,000 devices not in landfill. That’s 3,000 pieces of kit getting a shiny new chapter. That’s a whole lot of environmental brownie points.
We may be tired, our fingers may be blistered from packing tape, and we may be quietly muttering at the tracking system – but it’s worth it. Because behind every parcel is a business getting great tech at a fraction of the cost. And behind that is our team, powered by snacks, sarcasm, and a passion for purpose.
Here’s to the weekend, to the hustle, and to the ever-mysterious whereabouts of Parcel #14719. If you see it, please tell it to go home.
