Pickup is scheduled for Tuesday, November 26th.
It is our goal to have both the fruit and greenery available on this date. You must pick up your items between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. If you have other commitments this evening, you will need to make arrangements for someone else to pick up your items. We are unable to hold items for anybody.
* This date is tentative. We have been very successful in predicting the delivery date, but we are at the mercy of our suppliers and the shipping companies. We will do our best to communicate any changes both at the meetings and via the web site. It is your responsibility to check one or both of these to keep abreast of changes.
Pickup location is A & D Builders Supply
This is the same location we have used for the last 5+ years. So, if you have sold before, you should know where to find us. For new Scouts, the address is:
561 Schrock Rd
Columbus, OH
It is near the intersection of Schrock Rd and Huntley Rd. A map will be included with the sales packet.
