Dear Valued Customer,

We are thrilled to announce an exciting update that will greatly enhance our supply chain efficiency. We are transitioning to a new third-party logistics company, which will streamline our operations and ensure a smoother shopping experience for you.

We estimate that this transition will take approximately three weeks to complete. While we work diligently behind the scenes to make this transition seamless, we want to inform you about a temporary blackout period for order fulfillment.

To ensure that you receive your orders without any disruptions, we kindly request you to place any upcoming orders by June 19, 2023. Orders placed by this date will be processed as usual and shipped promptly. However, please note that order fulfillment and shipping services will be temporarily paused during the three-week transition period following, from June 20 to July 13, 2023.

Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to minimize any inconvenience caused. We understand the importance of your orders and want to assure you that order acceptance is expected to resume promptly on July 14, 2023. Our new logistics partner will then take charge of your orders, allowing us to deliver them to your doorstep faster and more efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this transition. We genuinely appreciate your loyalty and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team, who will be more than happy to assist you.

We look forward to serving you better with improved supply chain efficiency!
