We all poorly this week. So we won't be shipping this week. Thanks for your understanding.
Re: Shipping delayed this week.
Hope you both make a swift recovery!
Re: Shipping delayed this week.
We managed to ship a few backlog orders off over the weekend. We seemed to have had a bit of a surge in orders the past couple of weeks which is unusual these days.
Also been talking to dawn about the boxes we ship stuff in. The amount of labels and stickers we have to do now plus the post office ones barely fit on the boxes now. So we will eventually have to switch to larger boxes just to fit all the labels on
The hole thing is ridiculous these days, also considering it all gets typed up online twice as well.

Re: Shipping delayed this week.

Re: Shipping delayed this week.
There's a few new strains of COVID going round where I live. The wife and I have been bad as well, this is the third week.
Took a COVID test before CL5 which was negative fortunately.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
