cgilmo said:the "pecking order" was really pretty loosely defined.
I picked an order that I knew would be pretty easy, in this case jcaunda's order
I went to the slabs and i pulled his cards out.
Sometimes I would see a card while i was sorting and know who the card belonged to. I would then put that card aside as that persons.
After I finished jcunda's order I then moved on to the next big ish blog entry I could find. It is beneficial to sort the big orders first, because then you eliminate the stack of cards you have to go through to pull an order.
I have already taken steps to make this go a bit faster now that I know what I am up against. An area of my office at home has been converted into a sorting table.
Chris is there a way that we can establish a pecking order such as the one I desribed so we all can know a reasonable amount of time to expect our cards will be returned to us? something like this will also help you so you know how much time you have to ship cards and not be bothered with pm's and emails asking where our cards are at. This way large orders will be out of your way right away and you will only be left with smaller orders as the days tick away. Once you sort the cards this type of schedule should be somewhat easy to stick to and a simple email to the submitter can be sent if delivery times are more than expected. (again, my delivery dates are only suggestions, dates can be adjusted).
