    Nice.  I hope mine arrive soon, but I think I was one of the folks who got placed on the backorder queue because of all the demand.

    UPS said mine would be delivered yesterday but my delivery tracker app late last night said that UPS has passed the parcel along to USPS with delivery date unknown.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they are delivered with the rest of my mail today tho.

    I wonder how much money the USPS loses delivering UPS packages that last mile? :)

    im still trying to figure how a yeti cup cover costs $1.50, ships from chinas ups handling office in china, goes thru customs, flys to sanfransisco, travels ups to the ups center in boston, gets shipped to chelmsford mass usps, then ships to my house all with free shipping in less than a week.

    I got an email from them yesterday that they were overwhelmed but were digging their way out. I replied and told them no problem.

    When people start ragging on the USPS I tell them to take a letter down to FedEx and hand it to them and tell them you want it in San Francisco in 3 days and aren't paying more than 49 cents.

    why would you pay fedex 49 cents if you can ship it even further with ups and usps for free ;)

    From Penzey's:

    Sorry for going 6 days without an email, but with your response to last weekend’s offer we had to lay low for a while. We got overwhelmed. Mail order-wise we are still only half-way dug out, but we have offers ready to go in our stores for this weekend and we wanted to let you know. Once we are caught up, we will find a good way to share the tale of last weekend, if only to give encouragement to other businesses thinking about sharing their values in these times in which we live.

    All politics aside, I have used Penzey's spices for many years.  Everything I have ever purchased there has been fresh which is hard to find in a grocery store.  Also, almost weekly they offer something free.  No purchase necessary. 
    P.S- It's a lot cheaper than blowing up a YETI cooler with 20 lbs. of explosives.

    My Penzey package did just arrive.

    Opening the box, this was all I could see of the included bumper sticker:



    Need to flip thru their catalog again - I must have missed their "Cannibal Collection" of spices. I've already got some fava beans and a nice chianti so have that covered.
    Nice. I think the little something extra in the box is a nice touch. Wish they had included a printed catalog, but maybe those are a thing of the past. Funny, I can't spend much time with online websites, but can browse printed catalogs and brochures for hours.

    I'm fine without a printed catalog but I do wish they would still at least make available a pdf of their catalog. A lot easier to browse than their website.

    Probably my favorite fast food place. I was disappointed when they quit serving coleslaw a while back, then stopped serving chicken salad too. I guess both were time consuming to prepare.

    Carrot raisin salad gone too. Never was a fan of the “fries”. Sandwich kills though.

    Yeah, I don’t like their fries either.  We  can agree on that!

    I am not a big fan of those waffle fries either. If I could get tater tots at CFA I would be a happy camper and I bet they would sell all they could make.
