We are working on the best course of action for our clients, but it has not been easy after losing our UPS account. At this point, we only have the Postal Annex option, and the rates are extremely high. Again, we are pushing forward for future options with at least one major carrier, but it could be some time until that transpires. New shipping forms are located in the cellar, via the cellar office or we can email the form. Thank you for your patience.
