Shipping during a Pandemic
This week’s blog is about…wait, hold on one second, I just have to answer a question about shipping. OK, back. Now where was I? Right, shipping. If you’ve been following our blogs you know that we are a true start-up. That means everyone wears every hat. Someone needs to design the website? Make it happen Scott! Someone needs to put together a marketing plan? Got get’em Scottie! Someone called in sick and we need someone to pack product? Hey Scott, you’re up! You get the idea.

You Should Be Using a Car Deodorizer-- Here’s Why Odors at home are frustrating enough, but odors in the car can be downright annoying. In 2019, the New York Post reported that the average American spends approximately 35 minutes on their daily work commute.

Read MoreThe Trip to Jersey
I’ve talked a lot about Buffalo, New York in these posts because it is where we manufacture Azuna and it is where I have lived for the past 20 years. But I’m not from Buffalo originally.
