Well, its now Wednesday the 15th of Sept. and we are still waiting for the fourth nutritional to arrive. They (co-packers) said last week it was coming---so where the f**k is it? Again, they are AWOL. They have vanished. They're gone. No response.
Michael and I are about ready to go ballistic on them. We have called. We have emailed them. No response. Not even a courtesy, "we're busy today but will be in touch with you tomorrow" kinda email. Nothing!!
I'm afraid we will not be making our production date of the 27th now. They have dropped the ball so many times I'm starting to think they have taken the ball and gone home. It is without a doubt, the worst case of mismanagement I've ever seen. They obviously don't get it. We small potatoes just don't matter to them.
We small potatoes know of other food companies looking for a co-packer--companies that produce large quantities--(big $$$) and we could recommend this co-packer. But won''t do that now. We small potatoes will be growing pretty quickly in the future, if we can ever get these friggin sauces produced and could make our co-packer some real money. But it's a case of who are we going to trust (and use) for these larger orders. Now, our confidence level is at about 0.015 on a scale of one to ten. They really don't get it.
I have never known such frustration. But we are in it so deep now, we need to see this through. Get the last nutritional, get the labels I sent three days ago approved by their R&D guy, get the Cornell approval to the processes and get final FDA approval of it all.
So, I'm making a prediction. Are you ready?
It will snow here in beautiful Berwyn, PA before we get these sauces produced.
stay tuned..... be patient.... please. The sauces will happen. I think. Maybe. Hopefully in our lifetime.
