Made in New York behind the wall of the Mask Covidians. Not too hard to figure out.

I don't know about that particular factory, but a friend in the business told me that most are only running at 50% capacity due to material and labor shortage.

I can literally show you emails about insane delays and dumb routing from all 5, FedEx, UPS, USPS, OnTrak, and DHL. But to me, DHL is by far the worse! The others are catching up quick tho, lol!

The lack of rubber trees in upstate NY could be a factor.....

Dunlop AE Shortage

Live in N.Y. Not all of us but into the mask mandate b.s. Get rid of N.Y.C. from the state and it would be a red state. Stop insensitivities for sitting on your *** and not working and their would be no problems. Stop relining on global supply from China and make stuff in America.
