I'm the drop coordinator for our location in southwest FL. Azure Standard is very good about keeping us updated on our deliveries. The drivers are extremely nice and we give him a meal/dessert/beverage because we are rural and when the truck leaves our location, he's going even further east rural so no place to stop! We also give the driver a card of appreciation every so often ~ ❤️
That is so sweet! You sound like a fantastic coordinator. It's always nice to make those drivers feel appreciated. How much work is it to be the drop coordinator?
I’m the Auburn Drop (Maine) coordinator. I have roughly 13-15 people who consistently order. The entire drop has about 50 members now. Our group minimum is $550.
@@klevesque wow! I’m with the Portland drop in Pride’s Corner, Westbrook 15 minutes away from me. There’s another one just 15 minutes away from me in Windham. I’m tickled that there’s another drop in Autumn! Yay, Maine!
Hello Auburn Maine coordinator! I will be placing my very first Azure order this month and have chosen your location. Looking forward to this experience.
I live in Tulsa, ok. Our drop has about 50 people. The coordinator is very good about notifications and we have a Facebook group so that is usually the way she communicates. I am very very fond of Aure
@@wandadavis8335 my pick up is in the Victory Christian parking lot. When you place your order in Azure, there will be a link thing about where your nearest pick up is located. On mine, it gives info about whom to contact. Our pick up group requires you to contact the coordinator prior to pick up to join this specific pick up location. I do not know if all of them are like that.
Our coordinator is amazing- we are lucky that our drop is less than 10 minutes from us- I learned about Azure from you well over a year and a half ago- but took awhile to decide to order-since last March we have never missed a month- watched yours and other azure hauls - that is how we learned about many of the products- from you it was Nancy's sour cream-and cheese- I find it weird how much I enjoy watching Azure -Aldi's and Costco hauls- all withing 15 mins from me- Wishing you and family a beautiful Christmas season (looking forward to your baking and cookie recipes for Christmas)
I'm a coordinator and I send out a group text because people aren't always able to get there. We all work together and if weather permitting I have name cards to make it easier to separate it. We have anywhere from 15 to 25 ppl at a time
I started with Azure 10 years ago at a drop location with maybe 20 - 25 families. Then about 3 years ago I switched to a drop with 100 families after the original one closed down. That was too large to manage so a new drop was split off and it now has 45 families. 45 is much easier to manage.
Thank you so much for this video! I believe everyone who is health and money conscious should buy from Azure. I don’t know how many people in total order from our drop but we usually have between a half dozen and a dozen people at our drop each month. I’ve not seen many people twice. I have been. Purchasing from Azure for a year come January and I purchase every month. As soon as my ordering closes I start a new list. I have had a couple times that I had to call Azure for missing items or items that were damaged in transport and they are so friendly and accommodating. My money was promptly returned. Then I put it into the cart for the next month. There’s just three people here in the house so my intend is to keep it below $500. Of course, my budget for Azure has grown over the last year as Azure has made other methods of shopping obsolete.
Good haul ! Funny - I looked at the coffee and thought "that's not much"...lol. At 2 - 3 pots a day, you can imagine how much I have on hand! LOL. There must be a register under the lanterns - the swinging made me question if I missed you bumping them, or it was a ghost! LOL. Good video.
Would be awesome to have a drop location in LaSalle County. The only locations close by (to me) is Peoria or Davenport, Iowa. Each are an hour away.... Love your hauls! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄👼
I found a drop 2 miles from my house. Im starting the new year with new things. I already have my list in the cart. I would actually start this month but the pick up is christmas week. And that just wont work for me. Love your videos. Happy Holidays. West Texas
I found a drop location near my house but I went with a drop location further away because the coordinator communicates well and the process is very organized. The other unfortunately is not.
I wish our pick up location wasnt so far away. For that reason i haven't been able to order from them. I thiught about starting a drop of location next to us , but i have oanic disorder and agoraphobia so im not a reliable person to do it 😢
Pretty sure chewy dehydrated items are a huge risk for food poisioning. In the dehydrating group I'm in, if anyone opens a sealed container or jar and the food is soft, you're going to be told quickly to throw it out. Freeze dried as well. Please reach out to Azure if you are within 7 days because this isn't good. I don't understand why dried apple rings aren't sealed better from them...
*Nothing bad on Azure - I'm a DC and love them!!! I just don't understand why the apples are shipped that way and feel it might be good to let them know.
I am sorry but that process is ridiculous. So you pay for your product, then you drive at least 50 minutes . Then you unload the truck and load yours into your car .Now it’s about two hours later and no doubt gas cost . Sounds like Azure gets free labor . I feel for those customers that have disabilities or are elderly .
Hi, I'm a DC as well for Azure. We have our drop at our home (N Utah), I think that only happens with at 20% of the drops. Our drop minimum is $550, we have 25-40 people. I made name tags out of masonite (I have a huge pile in the garage) that I cut about 3"x9" and put white duct tape across the front. I write their names on it. We lay the tags alphabetically by first name (cuz our labels come that way), clockwise around my driveway. I keep the tags in a box alphabetical and they don't take up too much room. The only info the DC has, that customers don't, is the driver's name & number. Everyone needs to have all their notifications on in their account. I text everyone a day before, and I text the driver and ask him to let me know what maps tells him his time is to get to my home and then I text that out to my peeps. Unloading usually takes 10-12 min if most show up. Also, the driver gives us a copy of everyone's order and we hurry and put that under their nametag. They can easily check how many boxes they should get in the upper right corner of the order paper. It's interesting to see how other drops are run. Many different, successful ways to do it. You could find out what your minimum would be by contacting Azure. Hope this info helps.

We were excited about this one! 😊
Wonderful haul

Thanks for watching! 💓

45 is much easier to manage.
That is amazing to see a community grow and form around these drops!
Josh…great mustache!
Working on it for the time being... :) we will see how long it sticks around ;)

Aww cute kitty...😊
My area just got a drop location a few months ago!! We've loved almost everything from Azure so far. Thanks for the video, from Kansas!
That's wonderful!! So glad you are enjoying it. 😊
Great Azure order
I love getting our Azure orders! 😉
Love Azure!

Haha! You got me! I thought about putting up the "ghostbusters" theme song! 👻
We just got home from picking up our order. We had about 10 or 11 today. We have more usually. Im in Oklahoma
It's amazing how many people are finding this great resource and loving it!
Im about 45 minutes south of tulsa ok and im in the middle of starting a drop, and our minimum is going to 3800 dollars.
Would be awesome to have a drop location in LaSalle County. The only locations close by (to me) is Peoria or Davenport, Iowa. Each are an hour away.... Love your hauls! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄👼
To bad Azure doesn’t deliver in Quebec, 🇨🇦. Maybe one day!😊

I'm from West Texas as well...have been seriously considering ordering from azure.
@staceymartinez3388 we have one in Abilene then the next closest is either Eastland or Big Springs
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it.
So exciting! It's great to have a local drop, it makes it even easier to get started!
I would love if you coordinated a drop in Kendall county!
Would love a drop in Kendall County......
I want start with azure. I’d be going to Joliet!
How close are you to Yorkville / Plano?
Love your videos! Do you plan to cut your hair in the near future? The reason I ask is I buy hair to make extensions for ladies with hair loss.
What video show you cutting up the cheese block?

Most garbage bags are treated with sprays that are not food safe! I would find another way to store the flour.
Havent tried it.. southen indiana.. the closest is over an hr away
Nice ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 🤗
Does it cost a lot more than the grocery store?
