In order to make things go more smoothly, we will be assigning specific people to pull produce orders next month. In the end, there were significant shortages in the weighed items that resulted in at least 4 members not receiving items that did in fact arrive today. The peppers are an exception since they shipped the wrong case size. We realize that it’s hard to get the product to weigh in exactly sometimes, but it is often necessary to accept just under your purchased weight to avoid shorting others. Where there’s a slight shortage on one product it is usually made up on the next. We try to offer pre-bagged items when possible to make it easier, but when those do not come in, the individual case sizes may be substituted. Individual item substitutions only work when they the case is divided evenly. If you were to weigh each 4lb bag of oranges, for example, you’d find that none are exactly 4 lbs, but a slight bit over or under and as close as possible. So next month, please go ahead and work with the grocery items and we’ll get the produce split up so you can each just come collect your order when finished picking your United products.
