Recent setbacks...

There's a couple little problemos going on right now for us that I should mention here since they're affecting our availability..

First off, Canada Post is on strike. Nation-wide shutdown of all operations due to a labour dispute. The government will probably be forcing them back to work by the end of the week but there could be at least one (if not more) week of strike still. So we haven't been able to send out any batches in the last week.

Second, on the weekend I discovered that nearly our whole shipment of neon green trem boxes was damaged in shipping. There's about a 100 boxes that are banged up so this batch will have to be re-done. It'll probably be at least a couple/few weeks before we get another round of neon greenies and we're out of blue sparkles too. Not that we could ship any anyway, ha! *big sigh*

The stuff for the Elements is all slated to arrive around the end of June, so that's still on target and won't be affected by the strike as it all arrives by UPS.

That's our situation right now, we're basically on forced holidays! *smile*

Really sorry to everybody who's pedal has been tied up by this and for the lack of availability with the neon greenies.

Leave it to the post office to ruin everyone's good time. You should get the union boss for pedal builders to put the squeeze on them :excellent:

Haha yeah, that's the question... I don't mind having half a dozen blems to sell here and there but a hundred isn't really an option, it would take forever and kind of fly in the face of what we're trying to do with these boxes. I'm hoping to send them back this week and have them refinished and they'll just bump up our next round of boxes and we'll have them done in the same neon green finish.

That Canadian postal strike is slowly breaking my heart Ryan. Thank God for USP, hey?

As for shipping damage, they're all equally capable of producing that, unfortunately.
