Ok... all you Spring order guys should be bailing off your walls already with tons of shiny new FISH stuff. You Fall Season guys have some time to get your orders in for August delivery. This rest of this year it is looking like this:
June: Orders coming in and out as usual, unless it is for Portaledges. You should order in JUNE, for something like a Mid July or August delivery. Econoledges can be ordered any time and will ship sooner than ledges with a rain fly.
July: We will be mostly closed for all of July. It is too hot to climb anyway, but small items can be ordered and shipped as we are in and out all month. You can order Portaledges, Haul Bags and big stuff to be shipped in August.
August: Shipping all month as much as we can. All the June and July portaledges will be going out this month. Regular orders will be filled as fast as possible, but on August 15th, we will be accepting no more orders for anything, unless they are for delivery in mid October.
September: Full on closed from 8/26 until 10/5. We will not even be in the country. Emails will probably not be answered, no confirmations will be going out, and the cone of silence will be lowered. You can place orders and stuff like usual for delivery sometime in Oct. All orders with a September delivery or drop dead date will be shipped for a timely arrival.
October: Back into the office on 10/6 to a mountain of emails, rants, and hate mail. We will probably be back up with production and shipping about a week after we get back.
November: Start getting your orders in here for Christmas delivery.
December: The elves will be hard at work making your goodies until about Dec. 15th. No more orders will be accepted after about the 15th. The last shipping day will be Dec. 20th for arrival by Christmas. After the 20th, we will be closed until well into the New Year.
Hope this helps for your trip planning and keeps you in the loop a bit as far as getting some gear for your next project.
