The plant has the ability to produce a large amount of stock fans as well as special order merchandise. With specialty orders the process for procurement shift slightly because of the unique nature of the order and the variety of materials that may be used as well. With the procurement of the polymer done locally this also expedites the production process simply because logistics will not be an issue. The necessary machinery for manufacturing is onsite for quick manufacturing times that can quickly move into the production lines for assembly. Assembly leads way into storage for sales. Orders can be filled at the plant as well as shipped directly to the buyer both within China and internationally. Depending on the final destination of the merchandise there are multiple companies that are used to ensure the fastest shipping time to the buyer. Potential trouble could arise if there was

I was staff on there for about a week where I learned to be kind to others. And realizing that I should understand our disagreements and just let silly reasons go. Even if it's serious there should always be some forgiveness. This was most likely the biggest server I was ever staff on. Reaching around 1k+ players on sotw and the day after. It had multiple servers Clans and Guilds and kitmap, which was one of the reasons I retired there were no staff on to ever help out.
