A Lifetime of Childlike Faith DVD's In Stock!
So, on August 7'th, 2006, I placed an order for a bunch of DVD's. 1000 of them, to be exact. I requested that 500 be sent to Washington, and 500 of them be sent here, to Texas. No problem, they said. And of course, I believed them.
August 25'th, the DVD's get shipped. On the 29'th, I recieved a phone call from the Director of Operations back at the disc reproduction company. He told me that the special shipping instructions had accidentally been overlooked and that my DVD's would actually all be arriving in Kaufman Texas. Well, actually, not all of them. Only 900 got shipped; 100 of the DVD's had been burned improperly.
August 30'th, UPS driver shows up. He plunks down 15 boxes of DVD's. At 50 per box. That's only 750. He says he doesn't have the remaining 150. So I quickly look online, and it appears that UPS LOST three cases of DVD's! I figure, 'well, nothing urgent'. I called Chris, and said 'Look good buddy, we need the hundred that you are fixing to go to Washington immediately'. Then I looked at one of our DVD's, and it was incomplete! There was no insert inside the DVD case!
I called Chris and said, 'put the inserts in the 100 that you have, and overnight them to Washington. Then overnight me another 900 inserts for the DVD's I have here.' David came over the next day when the inserts arrived, and together the Moore family and the Heustis family pieced together 750 DVD's. In the process, we found about 30 DVD's that were damaged in one way or another. But through mixing and matching good parts and pieces, we lowered that number to 20 bad DVD's. Then, David went home, taking 250 of the DVD's with him, leaving me about 480 good discs.
I then boxed up 400 of them, and prepared for shipping them the next day. Then I began to count. I needed to ship 60 copies of the DVD to one buyer, and 30 to a second, another 10 to the third, and of course the 400 to Washington. That comes out to 500 DVD's, and I was 20 short. I never did well in math.
Fortunately, when the UPS truck came to pick up the four hundred on Friday, he delivered the missing 150 discs. So now I was back up to 230. Praise God, I'm saved.
I'm so very thankful that everything has turned out so well. The DVD's are now exclusively available through ILDglobal. If you are unfamiliar with ILD global, email me, and I'll send you the link to the ordering page.
In the meantime, I have a few boxes of DVD's, and they look fine. ;-)

They look fantastic along with some of the other HeuMoore DVD's.
Even the damaged discs look excellent, and will make for lovely wall hangings. ;-)
And in other news, check out The Rebelution's new site. Spiffy, to say the very least! And finally, I'm able to access it on a slightly more consistent basis, which is nice. Previously, their server rejected me. Now, I feel less rejected. ;-)
God Bless, Folks!
