Shipping

R - Shipping sent and we feel a sense of relief! At present, we are taking telephone orders until our "patrons" are able to make their bookings online. We had a few orders today (Thurs.) The back log of orders has been entered and everything is more or less up to date.

NEW* (Sept 8) K - in talking to Jake re: transportation the 'red' route will pick up on Tuesday at 7:30 and drop materials back at 1. The 'blue' route will pick up on Thursday at 7:30 and drop materials back at 1. Therefore, I would guess that Monday would be a shipment preparing day for the early red route pick up Tuesday and Wednesday would be the shipment preparing day for the early Thursday pick up (I hope our staffing decisions made on the old information are not too problematic...).

M: I think it is crucial that we get pick-up and delivery on BOTH days. The logisitics of only 1 day a week would be a nightmare (do the resources just sit in the truck for delivery on Thursday while they were picked up from us on Tuesday? Do the returns from Thursday sit in the truck until the next Tuesday?)

Ken was going to follow up on whether on not we do get pick up and delivery twice a week. My understanding is that the new mail runs are Tues and Thurs and that only half of the district gets done each day. Ken - were you able to talk to Jake??? Suz

Friday: OK, so the info below has changed. It will impact how we set up Destiny as well. I will put the new schedule on the Website, but need to check that it is okay that we put Media Centre in both columns (the one that was sent out on Friday does not say this, and I think it is important that the schools know that we do get pickup and delivery on BOTH days).
