As of February 18th, there is a FedEx National Weather Disruption in effect. Due to dangerous Winter weather conditions, all FedEx flights to the Memphis Hub were canceled tonight. We are working closely with FedEx and and doing our best to monitor Winter weather moving across the US.  There may be additional delays and disruptions in specific areas affected by flooding, fires etc.  

Please note that frozen orders scheduled to ship via 2 day air from our facility going East are processed in Memphis and did not ship.  These orders will ship on either February 24th or 25th.  We apologize for the delay, but we want to ensure that our packages arrive in good condition.  

We appreciate your business and patience
