Well, that's what we are talking about. In principle anywhere of course, but coffee beans weigh something. If they can get them out of Africa (which they do) then I feel confident thaet can get them to the US. :-)
I have a baby pilot project going in my spaces whereby we share the costs of logistics and fulfillment for webshops and import/export. So the costs of this kind of project stay low by sharing them. That was sort of the takeoff point for some of our discussions. If you are interested, I can certainly get you with them, or if more folks are interested we can really get busy. Maybe we should open a Coworking Customs along with the Coworking Visa. :-) On Wednesday, August 20, 2014 5:20:53 PM UTC+2, Jacob Sayles wrote: > > Where can they sell/ship to? > > Jacob > > --- > Office Nomads - Individuality without Isolation > http://www.officenomads.com - (206) 323-6500 > > > On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 2:47 AM, Jeannine <flexkanto...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> How marvellous of you to bring this up. >> >> I was recently approached by a business involved in my Amsterdam space, >> Moyee Coffee <http://www.moyeecoffee.com/>.
