Hello All
I have been asked questions about the insurance a few times now, so instead of sending a PM with the same answer over and over again her I go:
Many have asked why the insurance is required on this Co-Op. Due to the size and value of this Co-Op it is for peace of mind for the Co-Op members. I have always made insurance a requirement in the Co-Ops that I run, especially when they start to get into high counts. We have all seen the horror pictures of users getting boxes in that have been ripped apart in such ways that the only thing the user ends up receiving is just an empty box. This way, should this happen a claim can then be filled with the post office. Yes I know that insurance can be seen as something of a waste of money, but it is no different than car, home, or auto insurance. It is something that you pay and may never need to claim but if you need it, you find yourself happy that you have it.
Also a note on the payment PM:
Yes this payment PM was a little different then my normal ones, in the past I would send a single amount that included all fees that needed to be paid. Due to the size of this Co-Op I just do not have the time to research and then custom figure amounts for 203 members. Sending the more generic PM saved a huge amount of time. I am running under a clock and trying the get the packages out the door to avoid any shipping delays.
Packing still continues as we are working on boxing up items each evening after work, last night 63 boxes were packed up. We are making some headway and are starting to see the light at then end of the tunnel.
