A Word From "Inside the Shop"

         The Fun and
    Unusual Deliveries

For the Riddler?
One of our drivers was going against traffic to make a delivery in downtown Phoenix. He went past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he did this in front of a police car.
Why didn't the Officer,who saw all of this,write him a ticket?

Occasionally we get requests that are a little out of the ordinary. If we're confident that we'll be successful in meeting expectations, we gladly accept the task and enjoy the diversity and challenge. A while back we received the question from a caller, "Can you deliver a package to Jay Bell at the Ball Park?" We did get into BOB and delivered it, but were unsuccessful in getting a signature from the professional baseball player, himself.
An Architect, busy with out-of-office appointments, mistakenly leaves a briefcase behind. Yes, we were able to get it to the next meeting.
Apparently, we were found under "Messenger Service", and asked to: "go to Johnny's house, bang on the door until he wakes-up, and give him this message; "Get-up and go to work!" 
Most recently, we were asked by one, to deliver flyers to all the homes in a new home subdivision, and from someone else, to deliver flyers to all the units in an apartment complex. Our Courier (whom volunteered), a transplant from Boston, quickly learned about the necessity of bringing water, and we also realized that it's best to deliver flyers very early in the morning, which works well for us since some of our semi-retired drivers are early risers.
As you can see, if it needs to be delivered, we can handle it!

I look forward to receiving mail, mostly because in and amongst it is money, and I do like to get paid! Sometimes pieces of mail bring about opportunity, and that is also good! Almost always, with the good, comes the not so good, junk mail! Fax machines have provided an alternative means to receive junk, and costs the sender less. Now, with the rise of email, as the cost to the sender is negligible, there is even more junk, some of which is nonsensically offensive! 
Since I am always looking for opportunity, I admittedly go through the printed junk, and since I have the fear of virus attacks, I dump the unfamiliar emails.
So why than do we put out "Arizona Overland Expressions" our quarterly newsletter, which for some, may be perceived as junk? Our Newsletter is fundamentally a marketing piece, created to fill a request from customers; to provide information pertaining to what's happening in the industry, give input as to how things trend, offer useful pointers to make things easier, and to showcase the products and services that we offer. We are open to suggestions and would be happy to feature any new ideas. If you're interested in discussing the results of, or are considering starting your own, we'd be happy to assist. We hope that our newsletters offer value in information and thought provoking opportunity, and are not perceived as junk mail.
