Who knew it would be so difficult to sell ice over the internet? I had unlimited water coming out of my tap, and lots of freezer space, so it seemed like a no-brainer to try and supply ice to those who needed it. What better way to connect with my customers than over the internet right? Well as it turns out, ice melts really fast. Most of the time it was melted before I could even get it in the delivery box. I tell you, every single one of those soggy old boxes came back ‘return to sender’, which meant I was back to square one. For my second batch of shipments I tried sending the cubes still in the tray, but all that did was cost me more on postage, and lose me all my ice cube trays. So here I am now with no ice cube tray in my freezer, and I’m out all that money for postage.
