No problem, just triple the freight charges. There’s an answer for everything.

Good. As business promotes on the basis of diversity and inclusion their core functions break down.

“I can’t imagine how we’ll be able to function just relying on DHL, FedEx and the Postal Service.” LOL! I'm sure OOPS can get DHL, FedEx, and USPS to find room on their trucks and to make the deliveries for them.

Do like those Polish Migs.
Paint “DHL” or “Fedex”, etc. over the label on UPS trucks.
No WWIII, probably.
