Varlet Customer Service Woes

The timeline has never been an issue for me. Communication, however is a biggie.

It seems the US is having some serious supply chain related problems.
There are reports of dozens of huge merchant ships on the east and west coasts
just idling on the ocean waiting for a call to dock and offload their cargo.
These ships carry everything from consumer goods to electronics and spare parts
Maybe one of them has his fabled badger hair as well.

But surely, a one line email could address that and remove any fears.

I have a friend who works in marine logistics / freight forwarding on the west coast  - its a nightmare according to him.  Covid related issues with longshoremen and related port services.  And then there was that ship the Ever Given that blocked the Suez Canal earlier this year, apparently the backlog it caused still hasn't worked through the system.  I'm betting there are a lot of Force Majeure clauses being invoked otherwise demurrage would be staggering.

Aldo emailed me back, said he had some health concerns but was getting the pipeline moving again. Unfortunately he hasn’t started my brush yet from July but he did say some brushes will be mailed out this week.

Mine from April was shipped yesterday. Looks great too.

No doubt the man does great work!

This is what the picture looks like at the moment:

I can see the barges out in the Bay just sitting there… waiting
