It's official: Due to snow and extreme cold, our USA facilities will be closed this week
UPDATE: We tried to go in today, but the weather decided to sleet this morning. Roads are treacherous and not worth risking our lives.
UPDATED 1/22: The extreme cold has finally broken here in South-West Tennessee. We've been stuck in our houses for an entire week as it snowed on the holiday last Monday, and temps dipped and stayed in the low 20s to single digits. Typically, we get...

Update 11/07
Hi guys!
Just wanted to throw out another small update! We are getting things put together, and we have high hopes for the future!

I know a lot of you guys are looking forward to those products returning, so just bear with us! We will be back to showing the full XS experience very soon! We have multiple packages coming in daily so we can... -

New Building Update
Hey guys, it's me again!
I just wanted to give as much of an update as I can. Things are so hectic around here, but we are making very good progress! We have two new hires, Lia and Kyle. They will be making posts and stuff as soon as we can get them set up on the forum. You will also see Lia's name on your notes for your orders now! We finally got everything from the old building, so it is an absolute mess in here right now, but SteveO and I are very excited for the way the office is... -

Making Progress
Hi guys! I wanted to give an update about our situation since it's been a minute. We finally got the table tops today, so we will spend today and tomorrow putting the tops on the legs and rearranging everything to our liking. Once that is done, SteveO will be attempting to make blends, but we have to figure out what molecules we do and do not have in stock. Depending on what we have, we will make the products you guys have been missing! Some of the products will take a minute to come back into stock,... -

XS Closed Sept 4th through 8th - No Shipping
We just signed a lease for our new digs. Plenty of space to expand. We will be moving and setting up all week.
This means NO SHIPPING next week. We need to get utilities, including wifi, garbage, water, gas, and electricity, and then move in the stuff we saved and then put together all the new stuff. With that, we should have our phone system restored soon too.
If you order during this week we will not be able to ship orders until the following week. we will NOT refund...Starts09-05-2023Ends09-08-2023LocationUSA -

[UPDATED] USA Severe Weather Closing
Friday 23rd
The roads here are one giant sheet of ice. The biggest issue is salt and ice melt do not work in these brutal temperatures. I've called my local USPS and they have not answered leaving me to believe they are closed. FedEx will not pick up our local box when there is severe weather. We are at 0 degrees with a wind chill of -18. Everything is frozen!
Orders will not ship until Tuesday.
Please stay safe.

FedEx International Tech Issues
FedEx is currently experiencing technical issues with their shipping management software that is preventing us from shipping any FedEx International. Every time we go to ship since this morning, we get an error that no customs options are available. Usually, these things correct themselves after an hour, but this has been all day. I finally called Tech Support, and after 20 minutes of confirming it was I, they told me the system is experiencing tech difficulties and might be restored in the next... -

Potential Shipping Delays
Its Monday and everyone, except me, has called out sick. FedEx and anything other than economy shipping will ship first. If I can get to the others I will, but there are a lot of the others and they take priority. Tickets will probably be delayed in answering too. Be patient and be nice. -

Potential Weather Closings Thursday/Friday February 3/4
West TN is under an Ice Storm Warning for Thursday, February 3rd with freezing temps continuing into Friday. If this storm occurs we will not be in the office to ship. Please keep this in mind when ordering.
As always I will make the attempt to get into the office unless conditions make driving dangerous. I have a Jeep Wrangler so usually, I'm okay with snow, but ice and nobody drives. I'll keep the site updated here -

Potential Weather Delays
The Memphis region got a very tiny dusting of snow and ice this morning so in typical Southern fashion, everything is closed. I've always wondered what's the point of all these big pickup trucks with 4 wheel drive if people are too afraid to drive them?
Anyway, I have a Jeep and learned to drive in NJ where we get lots of snow and ice so no issues with getting here. The issue is will the post office be open and will FedEx actually pick up? I am preparing all orders to ship but... -

Australia - USPS Has Suspended Services
The Australian Government, in a seemingly draconian step, has closed off the entire country to any shipping.
You can and should check for service disruptions on the USPS site before ordering here: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/serv...international/
We will either have to ask our Australian clients to upgrade their shipping to FedEx or figure something out. Please be patient as this is a brand new situation that was just sprung on all of us.
