Yes. The whole system was organized around the FedEx shipping schedule,
including
when the trucks would show up in Wiamea Canyon, Kauai (no later than
noon, local time).
Labels would be preprinted and boxes would be ready to go, as there was
about 1/2 hour
from end of tape spin to beginning of the shipping window.
