Azure Standard for Beginners: What You Need to Know

What is Azure Standard?
Azure Standard is a natural food and health supplier that delivers to drop locations all across the nation.

The Key is Bulk Buying
While you can purchase products in small quantities through Azure, the bigger you buy in bulk, the cheaper it is per ounce.
Families will stock up on products that will last them for months. Others choose to do a massive grocery haul twice a year that will last them 6 months.
What is a Drop Location?
The cheapest way to receive your Azure order is to pick up at a drop location. A drop location are people or businesses that have volunteered to have the Azure truck come to them and coordinate with those to ordered to unload the truck.
Drop locations are a great way to get to know the other naturally minded people in your area and make new friends as you work together to unload and sort the items for your drop.
How to Order from Azure Standard?

3) This is IMPORTANT! Check out immediately after you have added an item to your cart! It’s okay to continually add and subtract from your cart throughout the month even if you have gone through the check out process. Your card will not be charged until the cart closes.
4) Add and remove items to your cart throughout the month. Monitor how many days until your cart closes for the month.
5) Once the cart closes, your order is finalized. You will receive an email listing your order (and let you know if something you ordered was out of stock).
6) A second email states the day and time your order will arrive at the drop location.
7) On the day/time of the drop, arrive 10 minutes early to help unload the truck. Your drop coordinator should have everyone’s name labeled on the ground.
8) Help unload the boxes and sort them into the correct person’s pile (everyone works together!). The drop coordinator will help organize and it should only take about 10 minutes.
9) Take your order and head home once the truck is fully unloaded!
10) If you cannot pick up your order on the day/time of the drop, make arrangements to have your order picked up by someone else. If your order is not picked up, it will be loaded back on the truck and sold at other Azure drops along the way.
