With the end of the month just a week away, and a UPS strike looking more likely, I thought I'd ask about what happens with subscription shipments (as well as regular orders) that normally ship via UPS Innovations to the local post offices.

Do you guys have a plan about that? I'd hate to see the strike drag on and lots of orders end up delayed or stuck in some warehouse.

Yes, we've been watching the situation.

We ship primarily via Mail Innovations, which we have been told will continue to operate. We do expect if there is a strike mail will move slower as volume increases and the USPS makes the deliveries without any UPS connection.

This is why among other things we shipped the subs for Rage of Elements early to make sure they were not impacted en route.

So we expect to be able to ship and we expect it will cause some delays in transit.

Thanks for playing Pathfinder and Starfinder.

I get all my stuff via USPS Media Mail. So not sure how that would affect me.

Would Mail Innovations usage count as utilizing 'scab' labor/undermining the negotiating power of UPS workers seeking a better collective bargaining agreement, do you know/can you comment?

Removed a baiting post and a quote. At this time an agreement has been reached and the question answered, so I'm going to lock the thread.
