Calumet US closes overnight. All your preorders likely lost.

I guess you all know the story by now. The 75 year old story Calumet closed overnight without saying any word to employees and customers that had cameras or other stuff on order. Calumet US filed for chapter 7 (bankruptcy). If you bought something that still had to be shipped by Calumet you will have to contact the bankruptcy attorney (with little hope to get the money back).

The real terrible news comes for the employees. They had no idea they would lose the job, they had no time to look for another one. I wish them all the best! I hope they will all find a new job soon!

A damn sad story.

P.S.: Calumet Europe still works fine.
