Well Played, AHS...

[toxick]

Well played, indeed...

 

[sudsmcgee]

Priceless. You should have asked for ****s.

 

[Revvy]

WTF?!?!

How cool!!!! Way to go Forrest (or whoever drew the monkey.)

 

[Yooper]

That's awesome! I always assumed no one really looked at the "special instructions" beyond "don't crush grains" or something. And that's not a bad drawing, either!

 

[ErieShores]

I might buy from them exclusively after this!

 

[DCPiet]

haha, i think we now know the real reason that orders from AHS have been taking longer than normal to ship -- they're not backlogged from the anniversary sale, they're using our boxes as a sketch paper!

love it. well played AHS, well played.

 

[Kokopuff829]

This made my day lol

 

[BBKing]

That is a riot.

 

[bucfanmike]

if you fan midwest on facebook, they do the same thing and post pictures there. I love both midwest and AHS but to be fair the AHS is actually a decent drawing. The midwest ones are really bad, and therefore funny.

 

[GuldTuborg]

WTF? It looks like Curious George with a queue. That's hilarious. Someone definitely has a sense of humor at AHS. Well done.

 

[hillhousesawdustco]

Big thumbs up here! I love a company that can be professional AND have a sense of humor.

Am I the only one who noticed Toxick's "bong" folder in that screenshot?

You got some 'splainin' to do there mister...

 

[Toecutter]

I wonder what you would have got had you asked for a sketch of a Penis

 

[rustbucket]

awesome! love it.

 

[Stevo2569]

ALL AHS orders will be behind now that everyone is going to request stupid drawings.

 

[Austinhomebrew]

Right now most orders are going out same day. Not to worry.

lol - okay - 'bong' is the name of my firewall which sends me daily e-mails.

I call it 'bong' because it filters the bad smoke...errrr....traffic...out from the good

 

[badmajon]

My message to AHS would be "please ship before Jesus returns"

unless he drinks beer, then I might still be able to use it...

 

[tetu]

They are still rolling them out. I ordered from them last monday and got it wednesday. I'm going to have to start asking for a random sketch on my boxes here on out.

 

[chapa]

hahahaa Its pretty funny you asked them to draw a monkey on the box in the 1st place. Were you curious to see if they would follow the "additional instructions"?

 

[Lmuggs]

This is great!

 

[GodsStepBrother]

Brilliant!!!

 

[toxick]

Yeah, I normally put *something* in the additional instructions. I think the time before that, I put "Keep Being Awesome!" This time, I just wanted to see how they would react. I work for a place that would jump on this kind of request, so I wanted to see if AHS had the same kind of mentality. They do, and that's completely satisfying to me

 

[wildwest450]

Although it's cool, i'd rather they not draw the monkey and get orders out asap.

I've regularly had to wait 3-5 days for an order to ship. Is this a new development? Don't get me wrong, I love your guy's stuff and esp. the AG kits, but the shipping wait times have caused me to find another source. If you can ship same/next day, then I'll go back.

 

[Lechien]

I think their shipping is under control now, very fast on the last order.

 

[toxick]

Have you tried the expedited shipping options?

 

[badmajon]

I don't want to pay more than $6.99 or whatever it is though.

 

[Austinhomebrew]

We pay an average of $15 shipping per order. If you really need it to go out the same day the expedited shipping is the actual shipping charges. I recently doubled the shipping staff so orders are going out quickly even with the flat rate shipping. We are experiencing 50% growth over last year so orders can take a couple of days because of volume. We ship orders out in the order they arrive. If I had to hire enough people to make sure every order went out the same day, the $7.99 would not be feasible. It is a discount because you are willing to wait if need be.

Thanks for understanding.
