Our business, World Fa Export, is based at No. 449 and 450. We took over two side-by-side units a few years back because we needed the extra floor space for all our crates and packing materials. The building is pretty old and the walls are a bit stained, but it’s a solid place to work. We’ve been in this neighborhood for nearly ten years now. Most of the other business owners on the street are our friends. We help each other out with things like moving heavy equipment or sharing a delivery truck if one of ours breaks down. It’s a good community to be part of. Our office is just a corner of the warehouse where we have a couple of desks and a filing cabinet that’s overflowing with old papers. We don't use any high-tech systems for our inventory. We just use simple notebooks and a basic computer setup. It’s a lot of physical work, moving boxes and checking that the weights are correct for the shipping labels. My back usually starts aching by Friday afternoon, but that’s just how it is. We don't have any brochures or a sales team. If someone wants us to ship something, they usually just walk in or give us a call because they heard about us from a neighbor. We just try to get the work done without making a big fuss about it. It’s a simple life and it works for us.
