Monday 9/30/2024 – Latest News From Our People in Western NC
We wanted to take a moment to let you know a majority of our team members are safe. As communications are still intermittent, we’re awaiting status updates from others.
We’ve been able to assess potential damage to our fulfillment center and found virtually no damage, especially inventory. Unfortunately, local infrastructure has been significantly impacted. As a result, we are currently unable to ship orders using United States Postal Service, UPS, or any other carriers.
We understand the inconvenience this may cause, we’re working tirelessly to find solutions that will allow us to ship your orders ASAP, even under these challenging circumstances. We will provide updates as the situation evolves.
Customer service is limited to these updates, but we’ll increase support over time.
Thank you for your continued support. Stay safe.
