[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 602635, member: 16184"] So as I've posted I've been selling some laundry soap the recipe and the idea to sell it came from hound dog, so far it's netted me about 300 in money and services. (I swapped five gallons for family pictures with a photographer) I also haven't had to buy soap of any kind and have taken to using it in my steam cleaner and mop water and I added some to a spray bottle of awesome and some laundry crystals and use it on my counters, stove, furniture. Well today I got an email from a shop owner on a forward operating base in Qatar. A very small place in the Middle East that soldiers get stationed and use as a get away like weekend pass for higher ranking officers. Someone messages me asking for more information about my products I guess they saw one of my local ads here and passed the info on to a shop owner. It is not allowed to send liquid via USPS so I researched a dry kind of DIY laundry detergent and while it is more expensive roughly 25.00 for all ingredients that make a 5 gallon batch versus the five dollar liquid version (10.00 if you buy the scented laundry crystals) I could conceivably sell this stuff in bulk to this guy. When I was deployed sometimes we used body soap because the American store inevitably ran out of detergent and they only sold it in a quart or a very small box of dry detergent that was roughly 5.00 a box or jug. When the px got a new shipment we would buy as many bottles as they would let us because you never knew when you would receive a shipment. It's early days and I just responded to his email it may be a scam, he may not be happy at having to pay a higher cost for the dried product plus shipping it could all fall through, but it's very possible this is the real deal and I could make some (much needed) cash. Hound dog may have turned me into a international business woman. I koi you not. LoL [/QUOTE]
