Kinda forgot to get around to this, better late then never

Total weight shipped: 1608 lbs, (2353lbs in 2022, so a big decrease as shipping was a bit weird for some countries )
Packages Sent to/for Members: 276 (271 last year)

We distributed over 165 packets of chips from AVICC members sales ( 130 last year). up from last year, still down overall, again harder for vegeta and some others to move things.

Many thousands of chips on consignment sales

AVICC has ~311 members though not all are active (an increase of 14)

I also received over 700 packages for AVICC members via Ship Assist (pretty much the same as last year)

Odd things that came through, vintage car parts, washing machine soap, pokemon cards

Things I want to do in 2024
Get email on AVICC fixed, godaddy took over hosting from Media Temple and broke it, I have no idea how to fix yet

I think the weirdest thing I had sent via you last year was plastic aida (material for cross stitch (needlework), one of my other hobbies). I usually use cotton and similar fabrics Smile

Nice job as always. Is this (part of) your main job? Drop shipping can be quite time consuming, especially if any of your clients is as picky as one of mine (he rarely wants everything shipping, but usually estimates his weight to the gram to keep under 5 Kg for customs purposes) Smile

The package you sent me a couple of weeks ago has been stuck in customs clearance for a week now, so I'm waiting for a bill for VAT/duty. Normally get away with not having to pay taxes on imports Smile

Could a wish be made for AVICC? Very Happy

I could really use an icon - the default Chrome "globe" makes it hard for me to find the right tab between the 50+ others Laughing
