Painted Ponies Summer 2007 Release Update!

After working all weekend cataloging ponies, we had a lot to catch up on yesterday, along with getting all the weekend orders shipped. So, we didn't get any new ponies shipped. We're going to start shipping today, and we'll get as many out as we possibly can. We'll post a progress report tomorrow letting you know what percentage we've shipped.

It wasn't easy, but somehow we did it. We finished cataloging all of the ponies yesterday. Along the way we found several more sets of twins, and at least two ponies with no issue numbers. We'll make those available for purchase in the store soon, or within the next couple weeks. We'll begin shipping the new releases today. I'm not sure how many we'll get through, because we've got the normal heavy weekend shipping to do first. We'll see what we can do. We'll post our progress tomorrow.

After yesterday, we've finished cataloging 50% of the new herd of 8 ponies. This is the largest order we've ever received and it's not going as fast as we had hoped. We're short of warehouse space to complete the task efficiently. Still, we are making progress and we're going to attempt to finish the rest today. We'll see how it goes.

We found 8 sets of Dynasty Pony twins yesterday, and two Dynasty Ponies with no issue number. These finds are now running a little higher than normal. Look for our update tomorrow morning.

Yesterday we completed cataloging 38% of the 8 new ponies. We're bringing in extra help for the weekend to make sure we get them all finished by Sunday. Interestingly, we have found three sets of twins thus far into the project. All three were Northern Lights. I suppose that number is about average considering the number of ponies we've cataloged so far. We'll post another update tomorrow morning.

We completed cataloging of 25% of the new ponies yesterday. So, Stardust and Northern Lights are complete. We'll try to complete another 25% today. We still expect to start shipping on Monday. We believe we'll be able to finish cataloging the remainder of the ponies on Saturday and Sunday. Remember, this is only the first 8. The four Christmas ponies and all ornaments are not expected to be delivered to us until Mid-August. We'll post a progress report on this BLOG again tomorrow.

Summer Herd Progress Report!

We started out yesterday morning sorting cases of ponies to make our cataloging of issue numbers go a little easier. Once we finished sorting we began cataloging the first 2 of the 8 new ponies. They are packed 8 ponies to a case with 4 each of two different ponies in two of the cases and 2 each of four different ponies in one case. We started with one of the two packs containing Northern Lights and Stardust. We finished cataloging about 30% of those which is probably about 10% of the entire shipment. We expect to catalog the majority of the ponies on Saturday and Sunday and we are planning on having them all finished on Sunday. We'll post another progress report tomorrow.

The New Herd Has Arrived!

Last night at 6:00 PM MST our Yellow Freight truck backed up to the warehouse and we unloaded thousands of new ponies. Yellow Freight had called us yesterday asking if we'd be here to receive a late delivery, and we said bring it on! The ponies are in the warehouse, and today we begin the task of opening each box and recording the issue numbers. Once we get them all cataloged we can begin shipping them out in the order we received pre-orders. We'll be posting a progress report tomorrow morning to keep you up-to-date on how we're coming on cataloging. Yesterday's delivery was a pleasant surprise.
