I have a lot of great friends in the "Snowball 8" in Kokomo and I wish you all the best. If you run out of food you can go raid the meat market and cook up a feast.

Re: AndyMark in Indiana State of Emergency

At least its not an ice storm like Toronto had in december! Imagine having 3/4" of sheet ice on everything, and over 300'000 people out of power. Hey, at least Nick should know how to deal with the snow.

Hope everyone is safe. Thanks for putting your customers first.

Re: AndyMark in Indiana State of Emergency

If we really want to thank Andymark and the crew for taking care of us, why don't we hold off on the calls and bugging them on when they will be shipping. It's totally out of their hands and as good as they are, they can't foresee what this weather and in turn the local authorities will allow. Give 'em a break!


Even though I am in Michigan, we are getting hit as hard; the worst since '78.

Re: AndyMark in Indiana State of Emergency

Every year my wife complains about being a FIRST widow for 4 months.

I can't imagine how that would translate to actually running a business trying to deliver to all us crazy people.

Thanks for your dedication Andy.

Re: AndyMark in Indiana State of Emergency

I dunno. I'm kinda torn on this one.

I feel like its great that these guys are willing to put aside their Ri3D effort to pick up the slack left behind by the Operations guys stuck at home due to the weather/state of emergency.

By the same token, if it truly is as bad as they're saying, and its unlikely that FedEx will be able to pick up our orders from AndyMark until Wednesday or Thursday, they probably could have finished the Ri3D effort and still had time to box things up.

The first week of build season is crazy busy there. If they didn't keep up with packing they would be buried in orders by the time the opps folks get in tomorrow. It would be way to hard to catch back up and they would be behind for the next two weeks.

Re: AndyMark in Indiana State of Emergency

Lunch with Andy has returned for a second season! Sounds like the State of Emergency was lifted a little after noon local time, their Robot in Three Days team members got around 250 orders packed, and they're hoping that FedEx will resume picking up tomorrow!

The problem is that other AndyMark employees who normally do packing stuff weren't able to get to work this morning.

Did you miss the part where I totally acknowledged that?

Sounds like things are getting cleaned up a bit quicker than expected though, so I'd say its a good thing they elected to go this route.
