Holiday Shipping Issues
Posted by Duston Barto on
We know many of you are frustrated with delays in packages. We are too! We have had such wonderful relationships with our local post office employees and have never seen any problems until the last few weeks. Lately we have been checking status updates like this.While USPS in general is suffering massive delays (see this article by the Washington Post), our local distribution center is particularly hard hit.
