Bicycle couriers is growing all the time and this is what happens behind the scenes
The significance of the number 12 comes to play today. As order nr 12000 was ticked off yesterday. Which made me think of our dozen+ service providers and our dozen+ main centers covered below. This is what happens behind the scenes at your and certainly our favourite boxed bicycle couriers company in Southern Africa.
12(k)+ order numbers
Always great to see when a new 1000 rolls over on the order numbers as they get ticked off day by day. Note that behind the scenes this doesn’t mean we have sent 12000 bicycles. The order nr sequence is sequential but does include a date factor in the algorithm. Ie Because order numbers share this pool of IDs with other content, they often appear non-sequential. For example, if you create a “Post” after “Order #10,” the next order will be “Order #12” because ID 11 was taken by the post. But we can tell you that on average we send 1.5 bicycles per order…
