About Us
In 2019, I had a crazy idea about starting up a business. My parents were entrepreneurs and my sisters too. I walked the line. Find a good job with a good company and move up. This was my motto, and it worked.
Still, there was always a desire to do my own thing. Genetics, ignorance, Rocky movies, Rudy, probably all played a role in this. It was time to believe in me and take a chance.
The beginning was to create a company that sells honest, trustworthy products; merchandise people can believe in. Too often, this isn’t the case. False advertising, shoddy workmanship, price gouging is all too prevalent. Delivering the Goods would be a place where you could rely on what you purchased.
My wife would join me in this endeavor. We would find quality products we were passionate about, add our own flavor and feature them in our company. Soon Freed Blue products would be born.
Unfortunately, a few months in, we were struck with some unsettling news. My wife was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. As you can imagine, this changed everything. Our focus would be this fight. It’s not over but *spoiler alert*, she will beat this.
The business would continue despite this. She was insistent. This was a detour not a stop sign. The pursuit of our goals helped keep her mind clear and focused on a positive future. My wife is a warrior.
This simple reinforced our desire to provide safe, trustworthy products. Our ambition now has deeper emphasis on items which benefit health and well-being. Truth is, she had a hard time finding certain goods (natural wigs, bras, eyelashes, makeup, etc.). Each search had to include special care for ingredients, comfort, fit and convenience.
While much of this could be found, we felt not enough business sites were one stop shops. We want ours to be just that. Our plan is to expand into many more products benefitting cancer fighters in their road to recovery, and offer safe wholesome products for the entire family. Delivering the Goods will feature health and beauty products to assist you in being the very best you can be. We will research everything to make sure it is safe for you. We will work to provide items to help you in your battles with illness, simply maintaining your health, or just providing safe products.
So why makeup? This is an area my wife struggled with. It’s no secret what this illness can do to you. One particular issue was replacing her eyelashes. Due to her chemo, she wanted to go as natural as possible with anything she used. Mascara and glue had chemicals which caused worry. Magnetic eyelashes were natural, quick and easy. They also look great on her.
Naturally, our makeup will be designed to be convenient and natural (vegan). We realized the importance feeling good about your appearance, benefits your well-being. Well, the least you have to worry about, the better.
This is all just the start. We will learn. We will expand. We will donate to help others. Hopefully, you’ll join us on this journey. You believing in us would be the ultimate blessing. Let’s begin a great partnership.
Feel free to contact us with any questions, suggestions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Harold & Shelly Reed
