Coronavirus is causing delays. Many projects (and updates on them) will be at stand still for the next few weeks. Almost all timelines are subject to change once we get updates from the various manufacturers.
Fulfillment and any incoming shipment check-ins are temporarily halted until our fulfillment transition is complete. We should be shipping again within a week.
To celebrate the new distribution center, check out our live Giveaway!
