As you likely know, winter storms are causing hazardous conditions across the U.S. triggering substantial disruptions at both the Fedex and UPS hubs. While we are doing our best to mitigate the impact, delays can be anticipated for inbound and outbound shipments from our facilities.
Additionally, our East Coast facilities were closed today and will operate at a limited capacity tomorrow, as our top priority is the safety and well-being of our team members as they travel to and from work. To minimize the impact of these closures, our team is actively shifting and prioritizing orders to our West Coast facility. While this should help get your orders out the door, we may still see an impact related to our service providers accessibility to impacted areas.
We are hopeful this will clear up by the end of the week given the projected forecast but will keep you updated as the situation evolves. Below are the service disruption notifications from our carriers.
