Join our Email Newsletter: Shipping has resumed!
August 31, 2011
Power is back on and we are shipping today! All employees came to work with boots on, mop buckets in hand ready to pitch in and get the place cleaned up. I am amazed at the progress. Some rooms are nearly back to normal and in some cases cleaner than before. Orders will still be backed up for a few days but we are doing our best to catch up.
