Are they able to fill orders now, i.e. are there workers in the warehouse to box and ship? I thought they were shutdown. Some retailers are taking a month or more to fulfill orders. Found this out the hard way on Amazon recently for certain items. Wouldn't any orders placed now just be parked until the apocalypse is over?

Maybe.

Maybe orders are so slow coming in that a single person(or more in the same building) could nibble away at fulfilling them on a rotating person basis.

These are times for resourcefulness. Doing things differently from 'normal'.

We had a fire in Tenn a while back(lost office and a building etc.) and everyone then worked from home after getting that all set up. We were site shut down by Govt agencies. Hope we do not have to go through that again!

However something to ponder: An infected order filler contaminating parts and shipping them all over the country! :eek:

I put in an order this week with her. Shopsmith is open and they are shipping. Some people may be working remotely.
Mark V 520 Table System with Jointer, Band saw, Planer, Strip Sander, Biscuit Joiner and DC3300 Dust Collector. DeWalt palm sander, Ryobi 12" sliding miter saw, and hopefully many more items to come.
