*Impact of Hurricane Helene in specific USA states
Please see notices from the three major delivery carriers we use in the US. Most certainly we will expect major delays in the southeast due to Hurricane Helene.
USPS:
Hurricane Helene, flooding, and severe weather events in the Southeastern U.S. (FL, GA, SC, NC, AL, TN, KY, and VA) may impact the processing, transportation, and delivery of mail and packages. Please allow additional time for final delivery of your item.
FedEx:
Search or download affected cities, states and ZIP Codes. Please continue to check this page for updates as the storm progresses.

We will work to ensure the safety of our employees while minimizing effects on service. Contingency plans are in place to help ensure that shipments arrive at their final destinations as quickly as possible.
