Believe it or not, I've been running Ugmonk from the small loft in my apartment for these past two years. As Ugmonk continues to grow and I add more products to the line, things were getting pretty tight in my space and I had completely maxed out the room to store inventory. While I thought about outsourcing the whole fulfillment process to another company, a better option came up — turn my parents house into the Ugmonk fulfillment center. Since my siblings and I are all out of the house, my parents volunteered the extra space to store all of the inventory and I'm hiring my mom to take care of all of the fulfillment and shipping. This allows us to continue to provide the personal customer service and hands-on quality control of the whole operation and keep Ugmonk a family business.
This past weekend we packed a couple thousand tshirts into our car, drove down to PA, and setup the new shipping center. It was a a busy weekend and shirts were flying everywhere, but everything is now neatly setup and ready to go. I want to especially thank my wife for lending her awesome organizational skills and assisting with all of the setup. Also a big thanks to my parents for allowing the ever-growing Ugmonk inventory to take over their house and keep things running smoothly. Below are a few pics from the new setup.
