"Jim you need to stop telling people you work out of commercial properties when working out of a UPS pack and post address. People are not stupid they can google an address. Want to be a bigger business buy mine you will have hundreds of orders each week. I will give you a fair price. You will need to hire 2 or 3 people as one person can not handle the load."

Hi Dean, I hope you are having a nice vacation; once again it’s always such a treat to hear from you!

And as usual, you are confused. I have never claimed that address as a warehouse, it is simply a shipping/receiving service. I do have 2 storage buildings, plus a shop and garage, none of which should be your concern. As far as Googling, it seems creepy/stalkery, but you are correct, anyone nosey enough can do it.

Instead of wasting money on renting a crappy warehouse, we own outright all of our properties, shops and facilities just like Paul, Brian, Mike, Ross and Don. I got the idea from Scott years ago.Having the UPS store available to receive and sign for incoming packages 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and never missing a delivery is not only convenient- it’s brilliant and efficient, you should try it! Same for dropping off my shipping, or for local customers to pick up. And I have commercial accounts with all the other carriers as well and occasionally they pick up / deliver at our other properties too.

You seem either very envious or threatened by all this. Perhaps you want to be a business like mine, maybe take a lesson here.

Thank you for your repeat offer to buy your company. Just like the previous times you have approached us,along with the other vendors in the past, I appreciate the offer,but not at all interested. I’m set for life.

Instead, we have forwarded your offer to help you sell your business. In the spirit of community and camaraderie, we also forwarded your text to all the other vendors. Good luck selling your business!

Please stop texting and calling, we are not interested.
