Very inspiring! I’ve been familiar with your brand/products but I’ve just discovered the lean manufacturing side from your podcast! I’m a machinist by day but this kinda of stuff is what really catches my interest. Bravo!
The shipping automation is very cool. However, I would suggest changing the start with moving the metal folder and retrieving the blue bins. Also, we did ship online orders via USPS but stopped for a few reasons: 1) They were losing packages all the time, 2) we have a daily 4 PM UPS pickup so 99% of orders go out same day 3) we standardized and only ship UPS so no need to fill out different shipping labels and we get a better discount this way.
We've made a bunch of changes since this video, so the layout you see here has been substantially revised. We stick with USPS because the overwhelming majority of our packages are under 1lb, and can travel safely in a padded mailer. UPS simply isn't price-competitive for us in that package class.

Thanks for watching!
This whole thing is awesome.
Wow! This is great. I run a eComm 3PL and we've been trying to find an improvement for the slips from poly/bubble mailers and the vacuum is genius.
Great work man, continuous incremental improvement should be your middle name!
