We were swamped trying to fulfill

We didn't realize that Chinese New Year was a time when all the suppliers were closing down and that there would be a month's delay in shipping orders. We were in Hawaii when we realized it and it was a big shock. At that point we were getting 1000 orders a day.

orders and emailing customers every day for weeks. We still have nightmares of all the pages of emails saying, “Why hasn’t my order shipped yet?”

After that we realized there had to be a better way to do this. So we started moving to higher end items within the industry and lower volume in terms of number of orders. Just because we couldn't keep up. It was brutal.

Something too good to be on holiday Mistakes to avoid
Emma Reid is open about her experiences with mistakes to russia email list avoid. In fact, she dedicates her Instagram to sharing all parts of her dropshipping story. The good, the bad, and the embarrassing. When I asked her to name her biggest mistake, she had one in mind right away.

The moment I took a week off and went to Bali, no doubt. The universe must have been teaching me a lesson. Because the moment I landed, my ads started acting up and my sales skyrocketed. I was completely unprepared. This was my first climb. So here I was, sitting by the pool, a Bintang beer in my hand, trying to disintegrate the buttons on my laptop and fulfill all these orders. But I couldn’t: the wifi was terrible and my laptop was one of those bricks that looked like it came straight out of the 90s.

Making $8,000 a day seems great until you realize your system can’t handle that much revenue. I was so overwhelmed that I deleted the Shopify app for the rest of the trip and pretended I didn’t have a business. When I got home, I assessed the damage and spent five days in cleanup mode. Fulfilling all those orders one by one and responding to every customer was driving me crazy.
