As many of you know the cost of sending our fine products to the other ends of the Earth is prohibitive. Add that to the fact that our parcels are used as footballs through the standard postal service, and you're never sure if they're actually going to arrive to your customer or not. I've been thinking that there must be a better way.
The answer is the Aussie sauce makers co-op (o.k so it really needs a better name than that
)
Basically we band together - get bulk discount on air freight through a professional perishable goods freight company who delivers to a distributor in the U.S. As orders come in the distributor delivers to your customer for a few $ per unit.
I've been talking with the air freight council of Australia who have put me in touch with a very helpful company who amongst other things deliver fresh Seafood, Produce, Flowers, Dairy etc. They have offices throughout Australia & the U.S and a few other places around the globe.
I'm still nutting out a distribution company....in my spare time.
Great where do I sign? I hear you say. Whoa, slow down...theres a lot to do yet. What I really need is for all you Aussies who are or who know a sauce maker that may be interested in getting their product to U.S & England cheaper & safer to get in touch with me so we can form a co-op and get the ball rolling ...oh and think of a cool name too!
Who's in?
