Additionally we get freight shipments in that have had NO presorting done to them... as much as our suppliers have problems, we have them too and those issues trickle down the line to everyone.
We are working on rectifying these issues. Stay tuned.
This is a question to benefit everyone, and I am hoping that I am pretty close, as I try to make things as easy as I can.
This won't help the people that don't care about sorting, but at least a few of us try hard to send organized packages. Can you give guidelines for separating items (keeping them separated, not the actual sorting)? there are several right ways, but would it make it easier on your end if we all did it the same, or similar?
Please comment on my methods to make me and hopefully the other readers better customers.
Telecom and mid grade boards are hard to sort, but I try to keep them grouped together and attempt to pile similar boards together.
When shipping multiple boxes, I try to put large and small socket boards in separate boxes.
small amounts of CPU's go in zip-locks, ram goes in large or multiple zip-locks. these are then grouped in such a way that they will stay together, sometimes in a box.
Hard drive boards go in a shopping bag at the top.
gold ends go in whatever container seems appropriate at the time.
