I use to buy from these folks back when I could put in an order at a store in Monument. Mostly I bought dry goods; but that was not a limitation from AZure Standard - but a limitation on the store I bought from. Often you can find local pickup groups that have specific pickup locations you can join with to get on the goods.

They ship from their own truck fleet that crosses a good chunk of the US of A. The only down side is that they have a short window where you can pick up your items. Often it is a parking lot near one of the big interstate. Facebook has (still does?) a bunch of these sort of meet up groups where there might be a person in charge that will do the pickup for you. Each group is different, some are a joy - others just might have a house from Kansas fall on them any second now.

My son drives for Royal Crest Dairy. While we haven't ordered anything from them yet, I think with seeing LOTS of dairy missing from the standard store shelves it might be time to get a recurring order going through Royal Crest - before they get too many customers and we're at the bottom of their list. My son lives 5 minutes from us and my daughter and her family live 10 minutes from us. I can order enough dairy, etc. on a regular basis and ensure they're provided with those products too. But, as I said, I think I need to get on the regular order list now before they say "Sorry, no new orders accepted" due to too many customers.

This is an option folks might want to consider sooner rather than later.
