Hi, all. I just delivered my first load of approximately 600 pounds to Boardsort. In spite of the fact that the roads were under construction most of the way from Cincinnati to Cleveland, thereby adding several hours to the travel time, delivery in person was a pleasant experience. The personnel at the facility were knowledgeable, Efficient and courteous. Thanks to all here who have posted, and of course, Chris and Lostinlosdos, I had managed to sort the thirty or so boxes fairly well. The crew mostly had to pick out the few that would go at a higher grade than where I had placed them. They took care to point out why I should keep certain types of board separate from the general run. There was one aspect that I should mention. Since some of my material was upgraded, I was paid more than I expected, which was great. The downside is that the increase in payment made my check go over $2500. Is that bad? No, but under other circumstances, it could be bad. It seems that JP Morgan/Chase Bank have a policy of refusing to cash a check drawn on them, if presented by a non-account holder, if the amount of the check exceeds $2500. The bank teller offered to direct me to a commercial check cashing outfit, but I declined the offer, as I did not need cash. (The nice people at the bank also offered me free coffee...from an empty coffee pot. I didn't mind not getting cash, but one should never deny the coffee to an old caffeine-holic ) I will be selling to boardsort again, real soon. A special thanks to the warehouse crew. David Boring
