A very important aspect regarding logistics to consider if ZWAGbox is indeed near/at/or above 10,000 right now. Medallion Fulfillment out of L.A. is handling the packing and shipping of all the boxes. On Facebook they reiterated that shipping will take roughly a week to get all the boxes out. Using Medallions own information, it would appear 5 days coincides exactly with what Medallion said they can process per day - notice the "2,000 per day". Below is a copied and pasted portion of Medallions information regarding Packing and Shipping:
Pick & Pack – Quality Assurance in Action
Pick & Pack is an important part of our shipping and fulfillment services. Our Pick & Pack services dovetail closely with our order processing services. For more details on our order processing services please visit our order processing page.
Once your daily order batch has been processed and downloaded (typically between 20 to 2,000 orders per day), a pick ticket is generated for each order. The pick ticket will tell the Pick & Pack crew what items are to be included in each order and the item's location in the warehouse including the aisle, shelf or pallet location, and even the bin number of the merchandise. Our crew "picks" the item and then takes it with the pick ticket to the packing department.
In the shipping department, our quality control team will check the merchandise a second time against the pick ticket for accuracy. The order is then passed to the shipping department where the accuracy of the order is checked a third time and then finally cushioned and packed for shipping.
The packer will select the appropriate shipping container and safely pack the container selecting the correct box and cushioning materials to assure that the merchandise arrives without damage.
As part of packing process, a bar coded shipping label is applied for the proper shipper. We use bar code package tracking for both UPS and USPS when available. The availability of tracking is determined by the weight class and carrier.
