Orders are pulled from the picking floor in batches of 20, taken to a packing station, sent by conveyor to the weighing station and then put onto an outbound truck. (The company mostly ships by UPS or U.S. Postal Service.) Orders received by 2 p.m. EST are shipped the same day. Picking bins are restocked from the upstairs reserve bins at night.
