BBTS HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: I will be flying out of town Thursday Morning and our warehouse will be closed Friday 7/2 to Monday 7/5 - so all orders placed from 7/1 to 7/5 will begin to ship on 7/6. I'll be doing some work while on my vacation so orders will be processed and emails will be replied to, but not as quickly as normal.
