I’ve not box packed in over a year, good to practice occasionally while covering employees time off. Took me 3 hours to do 52 boxes. Super slow, but the ones I timed without distractions took 1 minute each, without accounting for any restocking or fridge trips. In two weeks time I’m covering the whole 150 boxes, with zero childcare help, but I do have 3 days to do it if needed, but ideally 2.
We’ve only been in this space since Christmas, it needs some tweaking, it’s an old stable. We were in a shipping container before, which was the fridge and pack room all in one, and before that a marquee. First on my list will be to self level the concrete floor so crate dollys roll better to the fridge, which is the stable next door. We pack 16 boxes and then roll them round.
We have a very specific way they get packed onto the trolleys so they are easy to load into the van at 5am. I’ll let you know how in the comments!
