Olympic Planning

Less than 100 days to go until the start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics!

Now that more information is available about the road closures involved, Green Earth Organics is trying to figure out how deliveries will work during the two weeks of the Olympics. Naturally, we're especially concerned about our downtown members, but we know a lot of other areas will be affected too. We also wonder how many of our members are already planning to leave town or won't need a delivery during that time period for some other reason.

We'd love to find out what you think your plans are, or your opinions about Green Earth Organics deliveries during the Olympics. Some things to think about:

Will you need your bins more than usual, or not at all?

Would you be willing to receive your bin on a different day of the week, at a different time of day, or just one bin during the two weeks even if you usually receive weekly bins?

Would you be willing to pick up your bin from our East Vancouver warehouse if you are in an area we can't deliver to easily (especially downtown Vancouver)?

Please let us know anything you are thinking about in regards to February deliveries. You can reach us by email (info@greenearthorganics.com), phone (604-708-2345), commenting on this post, or responding to the quick and easy poll on our blog (http://greenearthorganics.blogspot.com/ - top right corner) before November 30th.

We look forward to hearing your opinions. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

I think it's great you guys are sorting this out ahead of time. We don't live downtown, but we don't have a car so we can't come to pick up our bin. We'll likely get only one bin during the two weeks instead of our usual two, but we're totally flexible on the day and the time of day for the delivery.

We're not downtown, but understand that traffic will probably still be a nightmare out to the valley. We're willing to be very flexible about the delivery schedule during that time. We're all in this together :)

We live downtown so are totally open to picking up our delivery. We're happy just getting one bin during that time, and are totally flexible in regards to the day of the week if that needs to change. We totally understand, and trust that the rest of your customers will too. Good for you for bringing it up now.
