This is from Zanders a wholesale distributor Enote in my mail today:
Just a couple of things to go over…
• The warehouse is currently pulling/packing orders from 12/23. We will have pulled orders through the 27th by the end of the day. Truck line is working on orders from the 20th- 23rd. We have plans to get caught up this week from the holiday days off.
• We are consistently seeing longer than expected in transit times for incoming payments in the US mail. What used to take 3-5 business days is now pretty consistently 6-8 days. We are saw an influx with the 12/10 dues of customers consistently saying they mailed checks from the 4th to the 7th ,but after processing all mail through 12/14 were not received. We would like to encourage payment portal use, and we are here to assist you in getting set up. If you do not wish to get that set up and still would like to write a check, there are two options:
o If you also would like to continue to mail payments, I would like to encourage you to mail their payment a few days earlier. This will ensure orders flow smoothly and don’t get hung up on hold for a past due through no fault of ours or your own.
o You can write out a check and fax or e-mail it to the accounting department forgoing the USPS altogether. If you need more information, please let me know.
• New pricing for COD and Hazardous Material charges are listed below.
o Effective December 27th, 2020, the COD fee will increase from $15.50 to $16.50 and the Hazardous Material charge will increase from $37.00 to $39.00 for UPS.
o Effective January 4th, 2021, the COD fee will increase from $15.50 to $16.50 and the Hazardous Material charge will increase from $37.00 to $39.00 for Fedex.
o Effective January 4th, No changes in Hazardous Material charge (will remain $16.50). The COD fee will increase from $15.50 to $16.50 for Speedee.
Thank you,
Spoke with the post office today while shipping out goodies-the post master was in Duluth GA Friday and reported there were 100+ trailer loads of political mail. Back-up on parcels is due in part that political mail gets run first over our items.
This is the first time since Nov 2020 that office has been cleared and figure to be caught up by this Friday!
