Thank you, I am glad you and your team liked it, took a bit of work but in the end it was worth it as I see many posts here about new members asking about outlets.
I'm assuming the doctor and his team are working on a solution as India and Pakistan are the only regions they don't deliver to and a majority of countries use the DS SA outlet which has a really high MOQ for any single person.
Hope so tooo.Everybody here still has faith that Doc will be back soon!!
PS: We still get ds but pricing is of the charts,Not complaining lucky to still have DS3 available but would be great if Doc would come back :(
However, with 12 Outlets, and 7 of them only started in the past year or so, I have my work cut out for me.
Also, I always work with people I have already know and dealt with for many months, in the vast majority of cases and all the new Outlets you can see, people I have known for years.
I do not open an outlet without rigorous vetting. You will notice I announce Outlets and then it is months and months before they go live, and that is when I have already been working with the proposed team there for some time prior.
There are people I am speaking with regarding DS IN, but we have not worked together long enough yet, I have made no final decisions, and we have implemented nothing, so you should not expect to see DS IN open any time soon. Cetainly not this year, beacuse it will take me the rest of the year just to get the 12 we have running ticking over like clockwork, let alone stocked with the full menu as you can see at DS UK.
I am only one man, and I can only do so much. Speed not haste, slow and steady wins the race. I have made the mistake of announcing things prematurely before, and I have made the mistake of rushing into things before, I have learned from my mistakes, and I am not someone who learns and then repeats the same ones.
I will do something right, or do it not at all. Since right now I am in no position to do DS IN right, it is not going to be done.
This is not a permanent situation, but it is not a quick fix either. I think people do not appreciate the time and effort we put in to each and every Outlet we open. They do not run so smoothly and with such good service and with such good medicine with the wave of a wand. It takes hard grind, and at a certain point that will grind us down if we do not pace ourselves.
We have just cracked the puzzle of AU this year. This took about 5 years of me planning it to finally manifest, but it has, despite all the doubters and ney sayers.
GR is now open in EU again, FINALLY, but it's been the entire year to get it going, and it was already set up previously, so you can see the timelines we are talking here. With that said, many doubters in the EU, but low an behold, here is DS GR open.
PT will be open before the end of next month, I can pretty much guarantee that because it was already set up and it was just a case of their family health issues preventing them from working during the past year.
Spain is in the works, another one which was already running, but then they needed time off, which dragged on and on for reasons I will not discuss, but now we are back on track and hoping to get that one going again before the year is out.
DS BR will be coming soon, again, been looking to do that since TS went live, and that is 2 years ago now.
Friends, this is not a walk in the park. If it was, everyone would have a site like Tribe Seuss. Last time I looked, there is no other site like Tribe Seuss, and hopefully that speaks to the difficulty of the task!
Our desire is to have safe domestic service in every country. Count the countries, count the flags on the site, count the years I have been here. Again, that should speak to the complexity of what we are working to achieve here, and hopefully instill a little bit of a realistic expectation of how long it will take for us to reach our ultimate goals.
Who knows, I might die before I see the dream realised, but the one thing I can assure you is that I will die trying and die working.
Don't loose hope, but do not expect this overnight. Good things come to those who wait, so please be patient.
Glad to hear that outlets are released with proper vetting and without the intention of quick money, it always gives me confidence when purchasing from your outlet.
Like I say, do something right, or do not do it at all. OPSEC is always the main priority, and getting that to 100% is never as simple as one would think.
Some vendors are happy to play a numbers game and accept some lost packs. I am not. Every lost pack is a risk to the whole Tribe, and all the customers, and I am not OK with that in the back of my mind. I need to be able to sleep at night.
Respected /u/Dr_Seuss,BIg fan of your work and never meant any disrespect to your grind.You really are the best out there for a looong time and we are ready to wait as long as it takes and work together with you.Glad to know DS IN is in your plans,Thats enough for me.
Your a living legend in my eyes,Will never lose hope in DS now.
Cheers to your work and i pray you achieve your dream<3
Like I say, I am aware, and reminded often. All things in good time, and the ultimate goal of WW coverage with safe domestic shipping will always be in the forefront of my mind.
I just do not want to fly too close to the sun and burn down the whole operation in the process. Little by little, step by step, treading carefully. This is the way we move.
Thank you for your patience, and we will keep on grinding towards our goals and get there in the end, no doubt.
Shipping options should stay the same unless new Outlets are added.
I think BR next, and then the will cover BR domestic, and over time some countries in South America, building up slowly but surely as we test out routes.
Then I hope I can take a bit of a break from new Outlets and have some level of normality on life until end of the year.
But who knows, I may just get to the goal and already have set more, so... We will see.
You are welcome, it's great to hear!
I think the Tribe does need some well needed break, you and your team have been doing so much work in the past few months to help all of us.
Well, we are getting quite the opposite of a break with this sale on, I can tell you!
Gonna be a hard grind through to the end of the festival season, and then hopefully we can all take some time for a holiday and to do some trips ourselves!
From the looks of it, its all paying off, the Tribe is growing a bit faster than before, already at 2.1k members in about 2 weeks?
It won't be long before the 3k members mega sale.
Thank you for all your wonderful work and may you also have a wonderful week!
DS USA stopped shipping to South America a couple months ago. You did not get rejected. And yeah... maybe something its coming to South America, fingers crossed. Saludos :)
Good to hear. I too am VERY excited for this one, and so far, all is going as smoothly as it could possibly be. I believe we now have the best team we could possibly assemble for this project, and I cannot wait to see them get to work!
Have a great weekend, and I hope we will be seeing you soon!
Hey, mostly unverified besides some things I noticed from the Tribe Seuss site and messages as I was gathering data, still checking with the doc himself, could just be an error on my side.
Also check this post: /post/49b5d068c0bc1edbd520/#c-29a82d1e7e56b2b42f
Hi, for orders that will be shipped to France, is there an outlet of preference ? I mean, are there any differences between UK, GR, PT and TR ? (Varying delivery times ? Also should we avoid UK because of Brexit ?)
I am in the process of creating my account on TS but can't finalize without choosing the outlet. I don't want to get it wrong.
Hi, I am extremely sorry for the late message, every time I would come online to check on dread messages, dread would be down.
Just poor management on my side.
Its in order actually, if you look at the list, its by proximity/relations, so if its DS PT | DS GR, that means DS PT is the best choice. However, this doesn't matter that much, the difference in shipping times is usually pretty low between the EU outlets as far as I know.
I am not affiliated with the Tribe, but you are more than welcome!
Thank you ;) I went with PT. How is it working if I want to buy something from a different outlet , let's say UK? Can I still do this from my current TS account, on which I chose "PT" ?
This is an awesome post.
Thanks for taking the time to do that!
Stickied.
Flair updated.
Have a wonderful week.
Love and blessings, DS
It's very nicely formatted. Appreciate the effort.
Love and blessings, DS
