Ask Scrod thread: most serious place on the internet. Not appropriate they say!
I appreciate the response Scrod, and all the people who confused my questions to you as questions to them.
For the record: I wasn't asking him to divulge industry secrets, maybe the 1 day shipping thing was a bit too involved. You can basically talk to any rep that visits regularly and they'll tell you anything you want to know about shops on their stops, some aren't regional either so I've heard stories about RG without ever stepping a foot in San Diego. I do understand it being too involved for a thread like this though.
Either way, trial and error is definitely the best way of learning most things and it's not that I'm looking to copy anything from Scrod, I'm just generally curious as we both operate in the same type of business, in a similar amount of sq footage, just thousands of miles apart. Next time I'm in California I'll have to make time for SD to shoot the **** and check out the shop. I'm happy for you and that you've been able to make just doing the fgss really well a viable business in a place that has sunshine 365 days a year. Livin' the dream!
