Dear Valued Customers, 
 
I wanted to address an important matter that may significantly impact our operations and product orders in the near future. There is a possibility of a UPS strike starting on August 1st, and we are closely monitoring the situation. While there is still time for UPS and the labor unions to reach a resolution, we believe in being transparent about the potential impact on your orders.
 
Here's what you need to know:
 
Current status:
Our dedicated team meets regularly to stay informed and plan for contingencies in case of a strike. While we don't have all the details yet, we want to assure you that we are actively working on solutions to manage any potential disruptions and keep your orders in process, even if there are delays. We will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
 
Delays in Order Delivery:
Should a UPS strike occur, there will inevitably be delays in delivering your products. It's important to note that all carriers will be affected, and we cannot quickly shift a significant volume of orders to other carriers and still expect the same delivery times. We understand that timely delivery is crucial to your business, and we will do our best to keep you informed about any potential delays as we navigate this situation. 
 
Navigating Through Disruption:
We fully recognize the significant challenges that a UPS strike may present. We are prepared to adapt and explore all available options to uphold our service standards. Open communication remains a priority, and we will continue to keep you updated as we gather more information about the evolving situation.

What You Can Do:
Plan ahead, plan ahead, plan ahead. If you have events in August, September, or even early October - place your orders as soon as possible.  This will help us be able to have time to work out the shipping options.

Thank you for your continued business and support. We sincerely hope that UPS and the labor unions can find a resolution soon. 
 
Best regards,
Jeremy Hyatt
Vice President
