At the stroke of midnight on Halloween, something magical happened. The holiday season arrived. Sudden? Absolutely. Early? You bet. And if you weren't prepared for this seasonal whiplash, then you might be scrambling a bit to shift your focus.

Will I Get My Gifts in Time?

You've no doubt been hearing horror stories about shipping delays and supply chain disruptions scary enough to rival the most chilling Stephen King novel and Junji Ito manga.

It's true, the pandemic threw off the delicate balance of manufacturing, shopping, and shipping, leaving a big question mark hovering over what would otherwise be the traditional holiday-shopping window.

It's a good thing you're here.
