I'm SHIPPING on STEEMIT! ( #sos )
Yup, thats right...This is my #first blog of my brand new series - #shippingonsteemit . ( #SOS )
I will start this series by explaining how last night's experience with meeting a gentleman from Accra, Ghana...has allowed me to take my apparel business to the next level by shipping a big box of apparel across the globe!
For some of you that may not know, My name is Rich and I'm a serious and passionate #entrepreneur working FULL-TIME within the #crypto space . I've currently running 3 active ventures:
- CryptosCloset.com ~ Crypto Apparel Online Store
- ToshiDesk.com ~ Social Charting Platform for Crypto Traders
- MasterTraderCoin ~ MTR Cryptocurrency traded on Bittrex.com
I've been really working hard to better my brands and CryptosCloset.com is a company of mine that I just started but has massive potential to grow!
I was contacted by a #steemit community member named Elishagh (pictured above) in a slack channel last night - Elishagh's username here on #steem is 
"STEEMIT was able to connect 
and together to facilitate a sale of goods over 5000 miles apart in less than 10 minutes!"
~ Rich Territo CEO of CryptosCloset.com
He contacted me in regards to purchasing some shoes I blogged about here on Steemit a week or so ago. https://steemit.com/marketplace/@mastertrader777/steem-marketplace-nike-air-max-90-s-accepting-steem-as-payment-escrow-accepted
He was a man on a mission, and we got right into conversing about those shoes and if I can ship to Ghana. I let him know that I could definitely send the shoes to him as #cryptoscloset .com ships WORLDWIDE. He then asked what other shoes I had. I told him about my new Jordans, and my Patrick Ewings and he got so excited. I went ahead and took some pictures for him to make sure he liked what he saw. He almost lost it overcome with joy, and I smiled as I can tell he was becoming overjoyed over the selection I had.
About 3 hours or so had passed and we were still talking. Ended up Elishagh wanted a lot more than just shoes. He wanted shirts, pants, watches, and I went though my whole closet clearing it out of shirts I've never worn, and shirts that just don't see much attention anymore. Elishagh counted out 10 of apparel items out, along with 3 pairs of shoes, and 2 watches. Full album of what I sent to Ghana for
It gave me quite a good feeling to be able to offer him the things he was looking for. He told me he loves watches so I look at the Casio G-Shock watch on my wrist, took a picture and said "I'll throw this $90 watch in for $10 in #btc ."
So I asked him what his address was... he said "We don't have addresses here"
I came back with, "well do you have an address to post office near by?"...he said its closed most of the time. This was just an eye opener to me, and I felt like I had to not only send what he wanted but even more...I threw him about 10 extras like:
So of course after last night's conversation I kept my end of the bargain and drove through Downtown Tampa, on a mission of my own... Why am I the only one on the road?
Operation Ghana ~ #sos ~ #shippingonsteemit
I arrived at FedEx pretty quickly being the only one on the road, and managed to pack everything into 16X16X16 box.
Sealed that bad boy up and asked the man how much I own him.
He informed me of the cost to ship this box to Ghana, and I thought to myself wow, here's another business proposition! ~ but we'll save that for Blog # 2 of the #shippingonsteemit series...
I never thought I'd be paying over $980.00 to ship anything in my life!
...But I had a blast doing it!
