Check Out The New Warehouse!

After about a year at our current warehouse, we finally ran out of space.  So this week, we moved to a new warehouse; it’s got double the floor space and triple the overhead space!!

It took the team only 2 days to move all inventory and set up our space.  We were ready to start shipping by the third day.  Amazing!!

More amazing is how quickly we have grown over the past year!!  This is the best team I have EVER been a part of!  Love you guys!! 

The marketing team has been on fire recently, signing up tons of new customers.

The buying team has really come through, getting their hands on great inventory at great prices.

The styling team has been so reliable, doing a great job of matching inventory with customer style profiles.

The warehouse team has been world-class; not only for their reliability but for their continuous improvement.

The engineering team is simply incredible; almost nothing is impossible with Damir and Elmira.

And finally, to close the loop, the customer service team has been bringing so many smiles to customer’s faces with their friendliness, authenticity, and their sense of humor.

Here are some pics!

Thank You Wonderful Styling Team

Wonderful Styling Team,

Hopefully you got a note and a gift card in the mail by now.  Sidney and I want to let you know how much we appreciate your efforts.  While our development team and operations teams are in constant transition, as we improve, experiment, and adjust, we have always been able to rely on you ladies to consistently assemble outfits that our customers love.  Thank you so much!

–Ben and Sidney

Happy Thanksgiving 2016

Today is Thanksgiving here in the U.S.  The warehouse team gathered together for a very nice, home-cooked feast and shared what we were grateful for.

I told everyone how thankful I was for Michelle’s leadership. She has done an amazing job of choosing great people, creating a friendly workplace, and making sure that everything in the warehouse runs smoothly.

Michelle told everyone that she was thankful to be surrounded by such a great team.  The team was thankful for each other and for Michelle.  Dan was thankful for baby Jesus and Mountain Dew.  Lol.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  We are very fortunate to have you!

–Everyone at Nadine West

The Big Idea: 1) find your purpose and then 2) for four UNINTERRUPTED hours every morning, focus on THE ONE THING that will get you there fastest.

Check Out Our New Warehouse!

Hi, everyone. Nadine West has been growing so fast that our warehouse layout and organization just couldn’t keep up anymore. It desperately needed some help!

So…huuuuge kudos to Michelle Cruz and her husband Chris. They came in on Saturday, planned out a new layout, picked up materials at Home Depot and practically rebuilt the entire warehouse!! Doesn’t it look amazing??
