It said they didn&#8217;t need an exact package count, but they needed to get some idea so they&#8217;d know whether or not they needed to send out a separate truck. At this point, that may not turn out to be funny. Those 30 chemistry kits in final assembly and 60 more chemistry kit currently a-building may not last long. I was planning to do 30 more biology kits next, but we may do 60 more instead. And we&#8217;re down to less than 200 shipping boxes, so I need to re-order those from USPS.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>08:55 &#8211; It&#8217;s still early July, and the rate of kit orders is starting to scare me.
